Looks like a school board know it all...
The peasants are smarter than these clowns in D.C.!
Either that or a homeowner's association reject. The kind that tells decorated veterans that they can't have a flag pole in their yard.....
The people who laughed at this jerk were too generous.
I agree! I would have been yelling what a fool she was to think that I and everyone in the room would even consider buying that BULL$HIT she was spewing as truth!
So are pheasants.
YUM!
Her main point was that the health care tax on those earning over $250,000 affected members of congress. In other words, they voted to tax themselves. Well, I guess that makes it all OK then.
Personally, I don’t know why we should stop at $250,000. That seems like a very generous amount of money. Why not cap everyone at $100,000. Yeah! Confiscate everything over $100,000, including those $174,000 annual salaries for congressmen. Yep. Cap ‘em at $100,000 and redistribute the rest!
Honestly, $100,000 is still a pretty good chunk of change, and anyone should be able to live well enough on that. In fact, most people I know do just fine on less. Plus, it helps the environment—no more gas guzzling luxury cars or wasteful mansions. Yep. Not only is a $100,000 cap fair and constitutional, it’s also green. Democrats gotta love that!
C’mon progressives. Show us you REALLY care. You started this class warfare crap. Now prove it by increasing the tax to 100% on everything over $100,000.
It’s not really about them actually “caring” at all,
but about how they view themselves as “caring” and morally superior to those who “don’t care”.
Her comment about Congress voting themselves into a new tax cracks me up — as if it makes them look like their suffering with the people. We pay their salaries, which — in essence — means we also pay their taxes (and their health insurance).
I think the Reflection Pool of the Washington Monument would make a fine Dunking Tank.
So they think they’re morally superior? Maybe we should call their bluff on wealth redistribution.
The 16th Amendment gives them the authority to confiscate any amount of income. Why should anyone make over $250,000, $200,000, or even $150,000? Most people don’t make anywhere near that.
I say it’s UNFAIR for a congressman to make $174,000. Next time one of them says we should tax the rich, we should ask them why they deserve $174,000 per year when that’s more than most people make. Yeah, why is it fair for them to make $174,000 when single moms struggle to make ends meet and enlisted men risk their lives for far less?
Are congressmen going to sleep hungry? From the looks of them, I’d say not. Next time one of them talks of wealth redistribution, we should ask if they feel guilty being paid $174,000 while poor children in America go to bed hungry.
Yep, it’s time to hold them to their rhetoric.
Man, you went WAY beyond where they stop thinking.
“Poor people should have more. Because I advocate that, I’m a good person.”
Stop. End of thought process. Don’t you dare make me think beyond that or I’ll get angry.
