Soaking the Rich Never Works
Fox News ^ | February 9, 2010 | Glenn Beck

Posted on 02/09/2010 4:37:41 PM PST by sidewalk

The New York Times is doing their best to cover the spending tracks left by President Obama. The op-ed, titled "The Truth About the Deficit" could win gold in mental gymnastics. They bend, twist and contort the facts into a pretty little ball of "blame Bush."

I showed you yesterday that George W. Bush was part of the problem, but Obama is pressing the accelerator. The Times claims that the deficit is the result of cutting taxes on the wealthy and they offer this stern warning: "The last thing the government should do is slash spending."

History tells us that "taxing the rich" and slashing government spending are both progressive lies. I read a lot and I read a lot of in-depth history. I could send you to "Woodrow Wilson and the Roots of Modern Liberalsm," but it will make your eyes bleed. Instead, this is a beginner's book of history, a gateway to the history that no one is teaching: "A Patriot's History of the United States."

I can't believe I'm going here, but let me tell you a little about Presidents Harding and Coolidge.

Beck is right on. I'm old and I remember the 60’s with the progressives who I called them communists. It was a very sicking time and left me with pure discuss of many Americans that were so blind and ignorant not to see that if they gained power, America would be done as a free Nation. Well, we are here and damn near no way to stop this communists King Obama and his communists party (formally the Democratic Party) from taking America and destroying us.

That’s because the rich can often be called by another name:
“employers”...

I’d still like to see rich people like Nancy Pelosi and John Kerry taxed at a 100% rate.
