I understand the point you are trying to make but it is really idiotic....The Republicans have been spending a lot of money as well over the past 40 years or so....they claim to want fiscal sanity but they have been spending a lot as well...remember they controlled the congress for a very long time...about almost 15 years or so......
also. the republicans take your money by not taxing enough and letting corporations keep huge tax breaks and by giving subsidies to the rich....who do you think makes up the difference?
.....the average tax-payer...YOU..through the borrowing we have to do to make up the difference
I would not make an idiotic point, sir.
Both sides lay blame and take credit, ergo what to do...? Who is rich and who is poor? To someone making $25,000 per year, one that makes double or triple that is rich. To be specific and humorous, that, my friends is rich indeed.
When they come for
your money, who will speak for you? Give till it hurts, so that others may hurt less? Or is it really give so that others may do less? Yup. That is what it really is. The Great Society is a failure at everything save one goal and that being the subjugation of a group of people, regardless of skin color. Indentured servitude and all for their vote.
And their life. Their soul. Their children's lives and souls, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
If we were to say, instead add two and two and come up with four, we would have at least accomplished something, but alas even sound math is not allowed in the feel good world of liberalism. Allow me to proffer a glimpse of wisdom.
Give a man a fish and you give him a full belly. Teach a man to fish and you end his hunger. Show him how to make nets and sail a boat and you give him a livelihood. Get the fuck out of his way and watch a man do what a man does best. Succeed.
Give a man a welfare check and you take away his pride and his sense of humanity, honor and yes, even decency. Teach him a trade, educate him, infuse him with a work ethic and perhaps even an entrepreneurial spirit and you allow him to stand upon his own two feet and in doing so you do more than give him back his pride, you give him a life worth living. And sharing. With friends and family. And why is this so? Because you did not give him something for nothing and in doing so nurtured his self worth allowing him to strive on his own behalf and that of his family. To earn his way.
The wealthy have the capital to create businesses and business begat jobs. You would tax that to death and in the name of fairness? Fuck that noise.
Now then, if for whatever reason you feel that someone needs to give more, then by all means step up to the plate. Is 50% of your income enough? Why not 60% or more? Yes, why not indeed? Surely you make more than enough for you to get by on less? I would wager that compared to some, you are quite wealthy. Who are you to deny the poor their fair share of your wealth?
I don't think I've made my point, I know I've made it.
Ignorance like love, is never so blind that one cannot lift the binding 'round one's head to sneak a peak at the real world. I have just raised it for you. You are welcome.
