The Redistribution of Wealth
This is a sore subject for pretty much everyone and is only getting more so as congress is getting ready to raise taxes on the wealthy. Well its not so much as raising taxes on the wealthy as it is getting rid of a tax break that was put there by Reagan and the two Bushes. The tax break was simply a tax break for having lots of money. So, the more money you have, the less taxes you pay. Yes it is that stupid. You too could save money in taxes if you had more money.
I know the argument that the wealthiest %5 of Americans are paying 30% of the nations taxes and its so unfair for these whining infants to have to pay the same percentage as every one else. So there has been a redistribution of wealth going on, but it’s not the wealthy giving money to the poor, its the poor and average giving money to the rich… after all they deserve more money for making more money.
Well as you can see I have a problem with people being wealthy. Its not that they have lots of money, its that they act like they deserve more and that they can’t pay an equal percentage of income as the rest of us because they will cry and throw a fit about it and plebeian Republican followers are more than eager to drop their pants, bend over and accept the tax burden while praising god.
Its a good thing too, if we hadn’t been giving people money for making more money then we would have hit some kind of major job loss and recession. After all that is why Reagan started this tax break for the wealthy, to try and create more jobs and keep the economy going. Now I am not dumb enough to think that this was the cause of all our current problems, but why give people more money to protect the economy and job market when its not protecting the economy and job market? All its doing is taking more money from people that need it and giving it to people that don’t.
So you know what? Stop trying to protect those sad miserable excuses for people. Just because some one makes a lot of money does not mean that they get to pay less in taxes than some one that makes far less money. Stop wanting to take it in the ass under some delusion that it’s protecting the American dream of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. What its doing is taking away your liberty and making it harder for you to pursue happiness… unless you already are making more than $500,000 year.
