Gimme!

by Brian Wilson


I'm not much of a "Seven Veils" kind of guy so let's just get to it.

A TV commentator summed up the Joe the Plumber situation Perfectly:

"The crazy bastard thinks progressive income is socialism. Income tax has always been progressive."

Yes, Alice there is a Wonderland. The Mad Hatter is running for president and all the March Hares are voting for him.

The key question is how much money is rich? Is it $250 grand or $5 million? It's OK to make money as long you to don't make too much. If you make a buck selling a hamburger, that's OK. If you sell a million hamburgers, you’re evil. That "living document," the Constitution, has grown fine print that reads,

"Does not apply to rich people. President decides who's rich."

Tell me, Alice… What'cha gonna to do when they come fo’ you? When we eat the rich, who make more than $250,000, we'll start on those that make more than $200,000. Then it'll be $100,000. Hell, "rich" just means someone who’s got more than you. It's not fair he won life's lottery while you were still looking for a dime to scratch the ticket. It's not fair he cracked books in college while you were cracking kegs. How dare he put his dollar bills in mutual funds while you put yours in a stripper's G-string?

We've all heard the story about The Ant and the Grasshopper and it's about time we did something about that damn ant. This is a free country so why do we have to pay for stuff? I've got a right to a free house. I've got a right to your money. Hey! Nice looking daughter…I've probably got a right to put some starch in those curves.

Has this country gone mad? We have presidential candidates talking about how much they can steal and how much of the loot they will share with us if we vote for them. Are we a nation of nerds living in our mother's basement?

My advice to America: enjoy Wonderland while you can. That noise you're ignoring is Reality pounding at the door and it won't be a pleasant reunion.

Another pimple brained jackass from LewRockwell.com. Thanks Handy. I'll avoid him.

The progressive income tax doesn't steal from the rich to give to the poor. It pays for the infrastructure that allows people to get rich. The people who benefit the most from the infrastructure are the wealthy. It only makes sense those who benefit the most pay for the tools that made them rich.

I personally think the US relies too much on the income tax. A national sales tax along with a 50% cut in the income tax makes a lot more sense to me.

C'mon, Jeff... to jump right in with name calling seems beneath you. One statement he made, "We have presidential candidates talking about how much they can steal and how much of the loot they will share with us if we vote for them.", rang true as far as what I heard during the last debate.

I thought his point was that the definition of "rich" is being lowered. And the effect will be felt most by those who do not at all think of themselves as "rich".

I'll go along with that...

I looked at the station's website, and see that they also carry the Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity programs; that's enough for me to join the national group who ignores him.
