1. Class-Warfare is immoral & unamerican.

Then tell the upper classes to stop waging war on the bottom classes by depriving them of the wages they've earned but not received as seen in the ever widening productivity/wage gap.

2. A tax system that punishes success to reward failure is economically insane.

Are you not paying attention to all the taxpayer funded rewards upper class failure has been getting the past few years?

3. The Founding Fathers considered the use of taxation to redistribute wealth to be totally unacceptable (Art. I, Sec. 9). Having sworn to uphold the Constitution, one cannot vote for redistribution of wealth.

Good, then stop supporting the redistribution of america's wealth to wall street.

4. During the 124 years, from 1789 til 1913, when we followed the Founder's Taxing policy, we had the greatest material growth rate of any people on earth--and we retained our spiritual values in the process. Nothing, proportionately, or adjusted for inflation, has since compared! (And just look at what the class-warfare mentality has done to our spiritual values!)

You mean the spiritual values that allowed the enslaving of other human beings? The spiritual values that treated women as not even worthy to vote? Not all spiritual values are worth keeping.

You are not answering my points. You are demonizing your own set of villains. But you will not find any place in the hundreds of articles at Truth Based Logic, where I advocate taxpayer subsidies for any class of people. That is simply not authorized in our Federal Constitution.

But your other basic rants go against the laws of economics & against traditional Western spiritual values. Pitting the people against each other in a blame game may suit your idea of spirituality. It is certainly not mine.

But to cut to the chase, since my points were suggestions for how those opposed to Obama's tax policies should address the present confrontation, may I assume that you support Obama on tax policy?

Depriving people of wages you think they’ve earned, but which have not been agreed upon, is not class warfare. Working for them is voluntary. You don’t like your wages, hightail it.

I don’t see that sentence excepting upper class failure.

Who says they don’t want to stop redistribution to Wall Street?

Slavery and sexism, seriously? You’re really stretching. Couldn’t come up with another out of left field slam against corporate welfare, or did you accidentally cut and paste a high school history textbook into that last paragraph?
