I’ll defend them: their fellow citizens view the rich as their ATM. Americans have become addicted to things purchased with other peoples money. A prime example is property taxes which are used to pay for education. Last year in Detroit, there was an auction of abandoned property. The total area being sold was about the size of central park. Houses were auctioned off starting at $500.00. They sold 20% of the real estate. Why? Because the city of Detroit and the citizens who live their look at homeowners as a source for funding those things they don’t want to pay for themselves.

Here in NH my mother-in-law was just forced to sell her house because she could not afford the property taxes. It was a nice house (she would have been considered “rich”); she outright owned it. She no longer had enough income to send her neighbors children to school, so she had to sell her house. The democrats think the solution then is an income tax. It’s kind of like an alcoholic who can no longer afford fine wine, he must switch to cheap beer.

If americans continue being addicted to other peoples money, we will not only loose our prosperity, but freedom and justice will perish as well.
