We on the right must fight back with education. We must show the public WHY the Dems' claim is both evil and counterproductive.
My attempt in this effort is in my Illinois Review column today, if you're interested, here:
Class warfare is right out of the Communist Manifesto.
Hey, Obama.....DNC.......hope you slimy asshats are proud to be so intertwined with the Communists.
You know.....the assholes I spent years standing against during my days in SAC, pulling nuclear alert during the Cold War...with a guaranteed suicide mission if “the big balloon” ever went up.
My God, why did I waste my time and so many years of my younger life.........
Thank you. You articulated the problem very well.
Now I might be able to straighten my one liberal “friend” out a bit.
Do we cook the Golden Goose because it is easy to catch and we are hungry?
I’m weary of even having to explain why this leftist stuff is nuts.
You can shear a sheep many time but you can only skin it once. After they take all the rich people’s money, where are they going to get more?
If we were all equal under the law, we’d all pay the exact same amount in taxes.
Just keep in mind WHO our illustrious representatives listen to, you or me? They take ALL their marching orders from the buffets and gates. This is why the “non wealthy” are so eager to “stick it to the rich guys”. It was not the “non wealthy” that killed the banks and brought down wall street but who paid to fix it? I agree that we need to get off of this stomp on the rich kick but the rich need to step up to the plate and start assuming some responsibility for the destiny of this country and stop the raping and pillaging..
Thanks for listening, I feel better.. :)
We need to confiscate the wealth of rich ‘rats, like the Kennedys, Pelosi, Boxer, Buffet, Gates and Bronco.
But...but...but....if the money is taken from the ‘rich’, it can be used to create more jobs employing people in charge of distributing that money in a fair way to those individuals who need it, who in turn spend it, creating yet more jobs. Obama knows better than the ‘rich’ people. Social Justice Now!!!
Excellent explanation. Bookmarked.
Nice job with this column.
Thanks for posting.
A Triumph
Always walking. Always searching. All day. Relentless. The streets are emptier but the sidewalks busier. Shops boarded up. This is the environment of nothing.
An angry, demanding crowd at one corner relief agency, but they have nothing more to give. It has all been given, more has been given away than has ever existed.
You cannot give what you do not have, and you can no longer have what is no longer leeft to take.
A woman huddles on the curb and holds her child, probably dead, in desperate hope while plaintively watching those who pass by, her gaze is a beggar, no one looks at her. They have nothing, they have less than a corpse to thier names.
City Hall is all boarded up, but has become a shelter for the needy masses who will pick up and leave once the trash and stench of urine overwhelms them. There is a large crowd in the park next to the County Office, a loudspeaker has drawn them in. A lynching, or rather a semi-official hanging of an ex-businessman who has been declared guilty of the crime of going broke. The broke crowd screams hatred for blood.
He has become one of the needy masses, he was broken by the new confiscatory 90% tax rate. His greed merits death.
He is hung, the crowd disperses but their grim visages are not sated. The needy, demanding class has triumphed over the greed of those who once fed them.
Obamao is trying to establish communist manifesto in US.
Formerly Maoist China is encouraging formation of rich people. Peking and Shanghai EACH now have more millionaires than LA, CA.

He paused, and for a moment assumed again his air of a schoolmaster questioning a promising pupil: ‘How does one man assert his power over another, Winston?’
Winston thought. ‘By making him suffer,’ he said.
Very informative article...and easy to understand.
BTW, My Dad used to watch Buckley every Sunday when I was a kid. I’m glad he did.
If we must all nobly share the sacrifice, how are the poor to share?
If we had a growth economy again, more people would become the hated rich.
If I won the lotto tonight...
The feds are going to take about 30% before I even cash the check and deposit the money somewhere.
Since I don’t even know the extent of my ignorance about preserving my newfound wealth, I will have to hire people to advise me, and other people to make sure the people I hired are advising me honestly.
I will also need lawyers.
Not because I intend to do anything illegal, but because there are so many laws written to make sure I can’t just give money to my friends and family,or even random strangers without paying the feds even more from the same pot of money they have already taxed.
If I try to give my best friend a million dollars of my after tax cash, she will owe taxes on that.
And I will need to hire security guards.
Not because I will suddenly start doing dangerous things or frequenting dangerous areas, but because dangerous criminals will suddenly start targeting me, in ways I don’t even know exist.
I can’t just pay people I trust to do these things for me, since if I pay them, I have to pay employer taxes for paying them.
And workmans comp, social security, medicare etc.
So far I estimate a need of a minimum staff of twelve fulltime employees just to protect me from criminals and the IRS.
I’m already bitter, thinking about the amount of money that I would be forced to lose if I won the lotto.
I can’t imagine how angry I would be if I had actually earned great wealth by hard work.....
