One of Aesop’s Fables. Quite profound. Thanks for your comment.
“Everyone should have free healthcare!”
Have you personally paid for a stranger’s healthcare or health insurance?
“No, this has to be done by us all!”
So, you’re in favor of putting a gun to someone else’s head to make them do what you won’t do voluntarily yourself?
The whole idea that without redistribution “poor neighborhoods wouldn’t have roads” is laughably insane. You might as well state that without poor neighborhoods, we wouldn’t have roads. Or without roads, we wouldn’t have poor neighborhoods. It makes about the same sense. Or nonsense. Neither one causes the other. As if someone decided to build houses on top of mountaintops or in the middle of the ocean. That brief exchange by Dean and the idiot interviewer fully explains the demented “logic” of libs.
0 is nothing more than a Step-’n-fetchit with a foolish (devious) grin while his strings are pulled by George Soros!
0, I saw Reagan, I loved Reagan, I prospered under Reagan and 0 you ain't no Reagan!
A new IRS 'Wealth Form' would be issued to all registered Democrats. And each year they have to list all things they own of 'Wealth' - from Diamond Rings and Rolex watches, to Boats and Yachts, Lake Homes, Jets and even Silver Serving sets. And naturally Trust Fund money Wealth. And after this 'Wealth Value' is totaled, they add to it their Adjusted Gross Income from their 1040 Form. Then it is ALL Taxed at a rate 50%.
If they have to sell some things of Wealth to pay this Wealth Tax - which they should be jumping in joy over to pay - so be it. After all it's just like the Estate Death Tax they love so much, except now the gubmint is taking their wealth before they die. And each and every Democrat will have to do this every year until their Total Wealth is $50,000.00 or less.
They want to redistribute wealth so much, well then -- pony up boys.
The IRS would work in conjunction with the SOS of every State, and every County Election Board, to make sure whose a Democrat voter and is paying 'their fair share'. And the Penalty for 'cheating' is Confiscation of all Wealth and 25 years in Prison.
Not exactly. Keep in mind those 'poor neighborhoods' were not always 'poor neighborhoods'.
Take Chicago for example. Almost every 'poor neighborhood' now, was originally a Middle to Upper Class neighborhood. My old 'hood' which is now all below the poverty level (a poor Mexican Barrio), was Middle Class when I was growing up. And in the area around Obama's 'mansion' which is now Ghetto2, that was originally all occupied by Upper Class Jewish merchants. So no. Those Roads would have been there anyway.
Plus it is in the Constitution that Congress shall (or has the power to) build/establish "Postal Roads". That's the one thing they are supposed to do. Poor area or not.
