Punish those who scrimped and saved their whole lives so that they wouldn’t have to have dog food for supper when they reach 65, so those who lived like dogs can have ‘their fair share’......................
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man-—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:-—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Punishing people who are responsible- the leftwing way
Public “servants” and unionistas to be exempt of course.
FUBO!! We worked hard and saved for our retirement — and were taxed along the way — federal, state, local, real estate, and on and on. Now, you are going to take our hard-earned money away through MORE taxes!! Again I say — FUBO!!
“Now couples earning more than $225K are the “rich” to be punished. Lots of blue states like NY and CA have residents earning this much who don’t consider themselves rich.”
We have a couple of younger male relatives in California, and they decided after Obozo’s conversations with Joe the Plumber, to never make more about $200k per year. As you noted, that “ain’t a lot of green in Californicator land with our income/sales tax and property taxes.
In stead of raises or promotions with raises, they negotiate for more time off, better company vehicles, flying business or first class instead of cattle car class. Luxury hotels, not a Holiday Express, when they travel.
Their wives get job offers over a $100k per year on a regular basis, and they work very few hours as DBA consultants, and never make very much taxable income. That way they can keep up their skills and contacts.
Private schools out here cost anywhere from 12 K to 20 K per year, and that is just the beginning. Those are after tax $’s.
They have a female cousin in their age group, who stays overseas with her talented contractor husband. They left during the Clintoon years after they put in their marriage penalties re taxes. They may never return.
But at least congress, the president and higher level federal workers will be exempt.
This type of risk is usually associated with Banana Republics...
How exactly does taking away your tax advantage make me learn to save more?
Obama is not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to economics so just who designed this latest money grab? Podesta? Jarrett?
