I think everybody forgets sometimes that there are 40% of Americans who PAY NO TAXES WHATSOEVER!...39% of those get three times their money back by filing earned income. And that the upper tax brackets already pays 49% of ALL the taxes paid in this country.
And lest you forget, there’s not a dime of taxes paid in this country that the wealthy didn’t have to risk their money to earn first and share that wealth with their employees for an honest day’s work. Remind yourself that the money you pay your taxes with was first EARNED by the wealthy’s innovation and without them you don’t have a pot to pixx in. Unless of course you’ve created your own company and your own product to sell, which gives you all the protections that the wealthy have in those tax loopholes.
Government employees don’t even have a frarking dime that somebody else didn’t earn first.
I happen to love the wealthy. The wealthier they are, there’s more opportunity for me to make a good comfortable living doing an honest days work, and earn with them. And I refuse to play the hate games that liberals play while pretending they don’t know where the HELL their own money comes from. Especially the leeches in Washington, DC and government jobs.
If wealthy liberals in Hollyweird want to rant because other capitalists just like them make the majority of their money off the middle class, we can certainly fix their tax bracket by not buying the bang, bang, shoot ‘em up and porn flicks and raunchy music. Otherwise, if they think they’re not taxed enough, they are certainly able to write an extra check to the government and send it in at anytime they want to.
“Government employees don’t even have a frarking dime that somebody else didn’t earn first.”
Bingo, and at all levels, Federal, state and local. I read (but am unable to find the link), that between all federal, state and local governmental employees and those paid by government contracts, 7 of 12 in the workforce are considered “Government” employees. I dunno if it is true, but based on just a few numbers, I think it likely. When you factor in the millions of Teachers, Military, and Police/Fire, they add up into the millions, for just 3 groups (Workforce is over 100 Million). Let alone city works, administrators, lawyers, and on and on.
If true (debatable, but I believe it), then each producer is paying for himself/herself and another person and a half. I cannot fathom the prosperity our country would have if everyone was producing and not mooching. It would be hardly the world we live in at all.
