There are a few things that are known as ‘Classic Blunders’. The first is never to get into a land war in Asia. The second is never do vodka shots with Russians (although some may say it’s never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line). The third is much less well-known but needs to be mentioned….
Don’t give credence to the idea that because someone earns more than XX dollars, then they should be taxed more. They talk about ‘fair share’ but are trying to make some pay more than their ‘fair share’. Fair means that everyone pays the same. With taxes, that would mean everyone pays a specific percentage of their income. Ideally, this would be a flat tax where everyone pays the same rate, regardless of income. We already have a graduated tax system where those who earn more, pay a higher percentage of that income. What is being proposed makes an unfair system, even more unfair.
In the Democrat/liberal/progressive mind, just as some animals are more equal than others due to their connections, education, etc., those who actually earn money and put that money back into the economic system of the United States via employing others, are cash cows whose raison d’etre is to pay for social programs and goodies for those who do nothing but suck at the public teat.
When there is negotiation in the House and Senate about where to draw that line, they are treating some Americans differently than others. It’s no different than treating someone differently (and punitively) because of the color of their skin. Additionally, when Americans start buying into the idea that Congress can take our money and dole it back to us as they see fit, then we are lost. Congress, despite arguments to the contrary is not “giving money to the rich” by extending the tax cuts for everyone–they are taking less of an individual’s earned money by legal force.
Just something I’ve been pondering…..
