“Hopefully you all knew that was the plan all along.”
The plan of all tyrannical regimes is to take from EVERYONE, own all the resources, especially the subjects, but in the meantime, they did a damn fine job of convincing all the willing idiots that they should hate the ‘rich’.
“RE :”Bill Clinton on Fox: ‘Taxing the rich won’t help us. Everybody needs to pay more in taxes.”
More BS...they’ll exempt the ‘special interest poor’ to keep their voting base, for instance Illegal aliens...you can bet they won’t be paying, but getting thousands in return for the EIC just like they’ve done for years.
I don't think they convinced everyone to hate the rich, but anytime you poll a large sample of people then taxing the rich 'more' will always poll better than cutting benefits of the non-rich who are being polled, especially if it's ones they were told they earned like SS and medicare.
For example : ON the Dem channel they ALWAYS tell the viewer that unemployment comp is insurance that workers pay the ‘premiums’ (taxes) for. But only the EVIL employer pays those specific payroll taxes not the employee at all, but that ruins their argument that we are entitled so they simply outright lie. That is the same principle as above.
If benefits were increasing with tax cuts like under GWB then few will care if the rich get tax cuts except real libs.
