The DUmmies like to work themselves up into a good frothing every now and then--oh, like, every five hours or so. And a favorite target--maybe THE favorite target, along with Christians--is THE RICH! BOO! HISS! The EEEVIL Rich! Tax them! Confiscate their goods! Smear them with Michael Moore's excrement! Make them watch episodes of "Pink Lady and Jeff"! NOTHING could be bad enough to do to rich people!
So it should come as no surprise on this Labor Day weekend that currently near the top of DUmmieland's "Greatest" list is this THREAD, "Chant of 'tax the rich' growing louder in nation."
There's no place like foam, and there's no place like DUmmieland for rabid foaming-at-the-mouth class hatred. So let us go there now. The DUmmie remarx are in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson--who always makes sure his rabies shot is up-to-date when he ventures into DUmmieland--is in the tax [brackets]:
Chant of 'tax the rich' growing louder in nation
[Some enchanted even-ing . . .]
Billionaire Warren Buffett may not seem to have much in common with angry laborers at town hall meetings or armies of California nurses protesting in the streets. But these days, the executive celebrity in his boardroom and working folks on the front lines have found a common mantra as the economy continues to sputter and the 2012 election approaches: "Tax the rich."
[Warren Buffett has been wasting away again in Marxaritaville.]
They are joining Democratic politicians, such as U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, who pounded the issue of making "millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share" nearly a dozen times at a recent event in Oakland.
[Uh, Babs, the rich already pay WAY MORE than their fair share. They're taxed at a higher rate, and they put in many times more in actual dollars. If you want things to be "fair," then tax everybody at the same rate, no matter their income. The rich would still put in far more dollars than anyone else, and everybody would have some skin in the game of trying to keep taxes down. Now THAT would be fair!]
The calls have become louder as President Obama plans to unveil his jobs plan next Thursday. . . .
[If there's time during the pregame show.]
Today, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and the powerful National Nurses United union . . .
will take the message one step further with one of their trademark protests - this time opening a symbolic "soup kitchen."
[The Soup Nancy says: "No soup for you freepers!"]
[Now the frothing and foaming begins . . .]
K&R. SOAK THE RICH.
[TAX THEM TILL THERE AREN'T ANY MORE RICH! THEN START ON THE MIDDLE CLASS!]
Do something to them. REVOLT!
[The DUmmies are revolting!]
Our elected leaders respond in a way indistinguishable from a dog watching a card trick.
{Say, that reminds me of that painting of the dogs playing cards. Have you seen that one? It's a hoot! See, the artist has these dogs sitting around a poker table, smoking cigars and such. . . .]
STEAL IT BACK!
[No, I don't think the dogs are actually "stealing" from one another. They each have their own set of chips. . . .]
'Tax' them? Confiscate their assets.
[Throw their assets out on the street!]
Seems like that idea is unconstitutional - Fourth Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated. . . ."
[Constitution, Shmonstitution!]
Tough.
[GET TOUGH, CREAM PUFF!!]
The Constitution is the law of this country...It is not to be ignored.
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
It is our duty to revolt and take back what they have stolen from our nation.
[DUmmies, reporting for DUty!]
Stop the Corporate Machine and Create a New World. Join the Prolonged Occupation of Washington DC starting 6 October.
[Apparently there is another DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CHANGED on the way! And in proper Euro-style, too: "6 October."]
OK -- first give them the bill for environmental damage - then put them in jail/confiscate assets!
[To Club Gitmo with them! No, TO THE HAGUE!!]
A better idea.
[DUmmie Enthusiast posts a picture of a guillotine.]
Works like a charm and the heads can be displayed on pikes to put the fear of doG into those not shaved by the National Razor. We need to start building some.
[Building guillotine platforms can be part of the new jobs bill.]
Amen! WAY overdue.
[OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!]
I'll pay for the wood!
[OK, we've got the wood covered. Now who will spring for the blade?]
I am a highly skilled woodworker, all we need now is someone to craft the blade!
I'm pretty good with metal and have access to the tools and there's probably some scrap around here big enough to make it from.
It doesn't have to have too sharp an edge. You know.
[I love it when a plan comes together!]
Eat the Rich
[That's why we chop off their heads first.]
Tax the motherf***in' rich people already.
[How about taxing the people who don't pay ANY taxes, so things'll be fair?]
Axe the rich
[OK, that seems to be the general consensus: Tax 'em and then axe 'em.]
Riddle me this: why is it that the Democratic Socialists and other far leftists were calling for this years ago and it's only now hitting the mainstream? . . . Why is it that Dem Socialists, Communists and other far leftists are always so far ahead of their times?
[OK, mainstream libs, time to catch up! On your Marx . . . get set . . . OVERTHROW!]
By their works we will know them, all the others can go f*** themselves.
[What book is that in? I must have missed that verse.]
I'm going to join the prolonged occupation of Washington DC on the 6th of October. Now, tell me what are you going to do besides throw words onto a screen?
[DUAC! DUAC!]
it's my mantra: tax the rich tax the rich tax the rich
[It's like "Om . . . Om . . . Om. . . ." The DUmmies say this whenever they want to get to their Happy Place.]
Give the rich a choice: pay their fair share in taxes, or face the guillotine.
[How about both? Of course, it's hard for them to generate further revenue once their heads have been lopped off. . . .]
They sure are getting all worked up.
I rest secure in the fact that they never actually LEAVE the basement! :)
I just asked the question you posed...”why not tax everyone at the same rate, including those not taxed now”....on my Facebook. It will be interesting to see what people say....if they say anything.....
I must confess I’m a bit disturbed by their enthusiasm.
...BALLS!!!
...End of story...
“Tax the Rich” or “Educate the Poor”?
It’s too funny to hear talk about “revolts” from the side that thinks the people (including themselves) shouldn’t be trusted with weapons. Seems to me it would be a damned short “uprising”.
