How the hell does our tax structure “favor the wealthy?”

The top 1% of wage earners earn 17% of the nation’s wealth but pay 39% of the federal income taxes. Their “share” of the tax burden has actually gone up under Bush.

The way I see it, the top 1% should pay 17% of the taxes......their federal income taxes should be cut by more than half.

If this Marxist broad ever becomes president, we’re going to see a series of events take place in America that will leave a trail of death and destruction from coast-to-coast.

How the hell does our tax structure “favor the wealthy?”

It's very simple--I am not joking, I can post about this with authority because I work in Cambridge, MA and have had this argument over and over and over.

People like HRC believe in the Marxist concept that if you are wealthy, it is because you took more than your share from someone else, who thus has less than they should.

HRC and her sort--known as HRCS--believe that one of the reasons we even HAVE a government is to prevent certain people from "getting" too much.

Thus, if someone goes out and creates a new product or industry, they are using this country and its system which is ALL OF OURS to "play the system" and earn MORE than someone else--thus, taking money from an imaginary "closed system" which has only so much wealth to go around.

So if someone is making more than HRCS deem necessary, and can afford luxury items (namely anything beyond essentials and MAYBE a one-week, MODEST vacation), they're not fueling the economy. No, no, NO--their expenditures somehow go nowhere and do nothing.

It is only government which has the right to spend that money, because we ALL get to vote for the executive and legislative branches. Thus, they are our proxies in deciding what should be done with the wealth that's NOT created by an individual but by THE SYSTEM we are ALL a part of.

So any punitive taxes are only about "playing fair" and "leveling the playing field" or otherwise taking back for ALL OF US what those evil rich people "took" from ALL of us.

Now, ain't that logical to you? :D

It’s called civil war.

Here is how it will play out. Dang! The stage is nearly perfectly set for her too.

1. We’re teetering on a “recession.”
2. No stimulus package will get through congress. (dems. block any attempts)
3. Any dem. gets elected to the Whitehouse...
4. Blame gets placed on GWB, just like we blamed Clinton in 2000
5. Hillary starts to take from the American people...until it hurts. Her economic package drives us further into a recession or ultimately a depression. She gets in and within 2 years we’re in a depression. (mark my words).

And it will all be Bush’s fault, at least that will continue to be the rhetoric even after he is out of office.

The unique thing about her is that she is not concealing this Marxist stuff right now. One would think her "team" would ask her to play more moderate now to get elected.
