Trickle Down Taxes
None | October 28, 2008 | Self

Posted on 10/28/2008 7:08:27 AM PDT by Jess Kitting

Obama decries the use of the term "trickle down economics," but what he proposes is akin to trickle down taxes.

Here's how the plan works:

1. Impose higher taxes on the super-rich. (Supposedly five per cent of the population)
2. The rich get poorer and pay a smaller share of the taxes.
3. Revise downward what it means to be "rich."
4. Take more taxes from Americans who were not in the original five per cent (to compensate for loss of revenues from fewer "rich" people).
5. Fail to pay for for government spending.
6. Revise downward what it means to be rich.
7. Take taxes from more Americans to pay for outlandish expenditures.
8. Repeat cycle until everyone is paying more taxes and no one has any money left.

You seem to have a deep understanding concerning socialism :-)

If only every voter could see the logic...

vote because I’d go bankrupt?? Well...
You voted anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see

He’s coming to take it away, ha-haaa!!
He’s coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the Government, Where life is beautiful all the time and I’ll be
happy to see those IRS men and their jack booted thugs and they’re
coming to take it away, ha-haaa!!!!!

You thought it was for hope and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said
that losing it all would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and
laughed and voted Change, but now you know I’m utterly screwed... And..

He’s coming to take it away, ha-haaa!!
He’s coming to take it away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the treasury. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and democrats
who sit and smile and spend us into oblivion and they’re
coming to take it away, ha-haaa!!!

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??
Well you just wait, they’ll find you yet and when they do they’ll put you
in re education camp, you goofy nut And...

They’re coming to take it away, ha-haaa.
They’re coming to take it away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the Government, Where life is beautiful all the time and I’ll be
happy to see those IRS men and their jack booted thugs and they’re
to take me away, ha-haaa!!!
To the treasury. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and democrats
who sit and smile and spend us into oblivion and they’re
coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!

To the Government, where life is beautiful all the time... (fade out)

A nation trying to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle. Winston Churchill

This guy obviously does not understand that the Omniscient One has seen in a vision the mints the rich keep in their private vaults. The All-Wise and Knowing One knows, therefore, that He can take money from the Evil Rich without impacting the Saintly Poor. Those who think otherwise are those of little faith. For such insolence, the One will test the faith of the Saintly Poor until they, like Peter, will try to walk on water and drown unless The One pulls them out again.

"Trickle down taxes" work a whole lot faster than you think. I'm raising my rates immediately after the election if the socialist wins. He wants to steal more of my money at gunpoint? Fine. He can take more, but I'm charging far more so that I keep at least as much after tax income as before. Who pays my taxes? My customers, who in many cases make a lot less than I do and don't have much choice on hiring me. And if I actually do get less work? I'm okay with that. I like free time to fish, to relax with my family, and to work at restoring democracy and capitalism by 2012.

Obama will raise taxes exclusively on the middle class - it's the only group he can raise taxes on. The poor don't have enough that they could be taxed without raising welfare payments, and quite a few of the rich can set their own rates.

Thanks

I already sent this as my contribution to the McCain camp.

Maybe someone will pick up on it.
