Not stupid and gullible. Worse. Disinterested and indifferent.
Given the current media, it doesn't matter what conservatives do. We will be blamed for whatever bad happens.
How much of the deficit do you actually think the government could finance with taking the money from the individuals you deem worthy of “not feeling it?”
Do you think it would cover the deficit? If so, could it make a dent in the actual national debt?
IF you are talking about income, then no - on both counts.
What you are talking about is taxing assets on which taxes have very likely already been paid. Okay, let’s assume we’ll let the Democrats do that. How exactly are they gonna differentiate between rich peoples’ assets and regular assets “normal” Americans apparently unworthy of contributing their fair share? The answer is they WON’T.
Do you have an IRA? Do you have a 401K? Roth IRA? Your home paid for? Second home? A big weekend travel bus and boat?
The point is confiscation of anything in excess of Democrats’ determination as ‘necessary’. They are aiming to confiscate your retirement funds and assets (or tax the hell out of them) and give you a pittance for a credit of a couple a hundred extra bucks in your SS check...
You still think all that talk is reasonable?
“Fair” is a matter of perspective. Their perspective is they don’t like that I’ve worked since age 14 and saved. My perspective is that over half (2012 election) of this country are lazy shits who don’t want to work when its easier to steal what I have and enslave my grandchildren.
Hell NO.
