New Taxes Will Be Imposed on the Wealthy - by Democrats

[FairOpinion]

Karl Marx isn’t dead. He is alive and well and living in the Democrat Party.

As Pravda masquerading as your Washington Post intones in its lead article of May 7th, “The quest for ways to reduce inequality begins with taxation.” Ah! The Democrat (read Socialist) Post is at it again and you won’t believe their rationale. They assert that new taxes must be imposed on the rich because America is doing so well the wealthy are making more than ever and paying a larger share of taxes on income(20% of taxpayers pay 84% of the income taxes and the top 2% pay over 40%).

That’s right, since they make more and pay more they need to share more of it with those sneaky, deceiving irresponsible thieves in the United States Congress so they can allocate money to their voting base (“victims”) who are also making more than ever just not proportionally as well as the wealthy.

So vote for the Democrats if you believe the contributors to America’s success should give more to the unproductive. And watch government’s tax revenues fall, they always do when rates are raised.

Equality? Nonsense! Democrats are NOT interested in equality. They are not interested in improving the lot of their voting base. They use that as an excuse to buy the patronage from the victims of their poverty-inducing policies. They are only interested in advancing socialism and the power that system gives them. They are anti-capitalists. Basically, they are communists who are radically trying to communize America. Why radically? Because at every turn they are forcing America to lose its way by introducing anti-principled moral relativism, diversity, multi-culturalism, atheism as well as actively pursuing immediate withdrawal and surrender of the Middle East to our announced enemy.

You say: "You have a choice between the imperfect incompetent self serving double dealing mealy mouthed spineless Republicans..."

As opposed to the "competent, dedication, honest Democrats who keep the interest of the people and the country in mind"?????? Is THAT what you really meant to say?

So do we also take credit for electing an ineffectual republican majority in congress? The Rino's? Republicans that back down from every fight with the dems? If they aren't doing the damn job, they should be held accountable. Otherwise, they will continue to take voters for granted. It's that simple. No one is saying vote for the Rat party, but we better get some better candidates to replace these incumbents. Or if they get the message, maybe they will grow a pair before November and get busy.

[FairOpinion]

I guess you don't care, if YOUR actions help the Dems and Hillary. Do you remember this -- and don't think she didn't mean it:

"Sen. Clinton said, "Many of you are well enough off that ... the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

[CWOJackson]

Now that rouges gallery is a third party dream.

[timer]

Republicans lie awake at night, day dreaming of how to make more money(parable of the talents); democrats lie awake at night, day dreaming of how they can spend more of the republican's money. Solution : make more small businessmen = more republicans.

[Wolfhound777]

I have news for you. True capitalism doesn't exist here anymore. Threatening to raise taxes on the rich will not kill "capitalism" and most likely will never pass anyway. Who the heck do you think funds the congress critters? It aint' the poor.

[FairOpinion]

In many states your choice is a RINO or a Democrat. Without the RINOs we wouldn't have a Republican majority in Congress -- see post 22, of who you would have in charge.

Is that what you want?

[DakotaRed]

Of course, to a Dimocrat, anyone making over $25,000 a year is "wealthy."

[Howlin]

Here's one of my favorites:

"We are a very different country than we were 200 years ago," Clinton said. "I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it's time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president."

[Wolfhound777]

Not that there is much difference, but in those states your screwed.

[FairOpinion]

Of course, to a Dimocrat, anyone making over $25,000 a year is "wealthy."

BINGO. People are for "take it away from the rich", until they discover that the Dems consider THEM the "rich".

[Howlin]

Isn't it? I had part of the list, but SJackson's putting the pictures together made me want to run screaming from the room!

[DakotaRed]

My opinion is these people need to leave the republican party and not come back.

While I am not one of the ones saying I will stay home or vote Dimocrats in, if you can direct me to where the real conservatives are, I will gladly leave the Republicans and not come back.

Conservative first, Republican second!

So do we also take credit for electing an ineffectual republican majority in congress? The Rino's? Republicans that back down from every fight with the dems? If they aren't doing the damn job, they should be held accountable. Otherwise, they will continue to take voters for granted. It's that simple.

What does that have to do with the subject at hand?

Republicans "back down from every fight" because there is no use fighting most of them in a congress so divided.

But if they are backing down, yes, we who put them into power are responsible for their being there, and we are also responsible for getting through to them about what we want. I thought that was pretty basic knwledge. Our duty as citizens doesn't end on election day, it only begins.

No one is saying vote for the Rat party,

Yes, they are, in the real world--advocating sitting out November is advocating one less vote for the Republicans, no matter how you want to slice it.

but we better get some better candidates to replace these incumbents.

Exactly. That's where we have to work--getting conservatives to run against RINOs in the primary.

Or if they get the message, maybe they will grow a pair before November and get busy.

We can hope. But it's better to work.

[Lurker]

I said exactly what I meant to say. But thanks for checking.

Do you remember how Reagan used to say "I didn't leave the Democrat Party, they left me."? There's a lesson in there for Republicans that it would behoove them to relearn.

There are other parties out there which have made border security a big issue, and it's not the Dems.

So here's my position, just so it's clear to you.

I will not give my vote to any politician of any party who doesn't make the immediate securing of our southern border their first priority. Period and end of sentence.

At this point in time the tax rates on the top 2% of wage earners just ain't a burning issue with me. In fact it's not even in the top three. So hauling this bugaboo out doesn't work on me.

You know the Pubs used to be the 'Law and Order' party. They're abdicating that mantle. To put it crudely they're shooting themselves in the d***. Now it's against my personal principles to trust people who can't avoid blowing their own genitals off figuratively speaking with my car keys, let alone the power of Government.

I'll work hard to get real conservatives elected in the primaries. I did that here in my state. Sadly none were nominated for any State office. Therefore I will not vote in those races. I'll do the same at the Federal level.

My vote is precious to me. It was paid for and is still being paid for in blood. I'll not sell it cheaply and I will not be talked into voting for the lesser of two evils. I'll vote CP or some other 3rd party rather than give my vote to anyone who doesn't reflect my wishes simply because of the party identifier after their name.

The lesser of two evils is still evil. I'll certainly not countenance evil with anything so precious as my right of franchise.

[edpc]

You're welcome. I especially liked the part where the editorial states an increase on the top wage earners will give the bottom three fifths $970. I wrote a letter to the WaPo editor, asking when I could expect my check from publishers Donald Graham and Boisfeuillet Jones, Jr. No resoponse, yet....nor do I expect one.

[CWOJackson]

Over on the "U.S. tipping..." thead JustPiper posted some e-mails from his dear friend Carter regarding the story...worth a laugh. This proves it all beyond a doubt...Bush's fault.

[Darkwolf377]

He panics that George W. Bush hasn't vetoed even one spending bill. Ignored in Bruce's babble is that a Harvard MBA generally knows more than your average economic moonbeam. He telegraphs to Congress what he wants and will tolerate so he doesn't have to exert his bullying power.

I've said this to so many people I've given up. They don't seem to understand this simple, basic concept--tell them what you can live with up front so you don't have to veto, unproductively.

[Wolfhound777]

I agree...but they need to get the message.
