TAX THE RICH... The route
to a balanced budget? No, just pandering
to the base. This is a wonderful ploy
for a radical liberal like Obama. It
satisfies the base and continues the growth of government, grows the debt and eventually
leads to collapse. Is this what Obama wants? Unfortunately, yes.
For
heavens’ sake why? Let me explain.
Let’s take "Tax the
Rich” first.
It is always a good ploy to indicate that someone else is going to “Pay” and I am going to get something
for nothin’! First of all in the minds of the poor and or
generally low to middle class, the rich got it by doing wrong. They can’t quite put their finger on
it, but it must be so and pandering politicians know they can stir up hate and
envy by doing this. Unfortunately for
the most part the rich got rich by doing things that make people rich and the
poor got that way by doing things that make people poor.
So the
rich will continue to do the things that make them rich. When an obstacle is thrown in their path,
they find a way over, under or through it.
So here come higher taxes. They
react, they plan, they do things that will minimize the effect. Too often those actions result in little or
no real increase in tax revenue, and even a reduction in revenue to the
government. As Bob Woodward says that it
is a "Fantasy" to think we can make any real impact on deficit
reduction by taxing the rich. We know
that. On the other hand when taxes are
lowered revenue to the government actually rises! President Kennedy, Margaret Thatcher and
Ronald Reagan did it and revenue exploded.
Then why, if we are really trying to solve the deficit and debt, do we
do things that don’t generally work?
Ah
Ha! When we take these actions we are
not really trying to solve the problem!!!
We are accomplishing a goal. That
goal is move us along toward collapse.
Why would someone want to do this?
Seems like treason, no just a philosophy. Government can and must do it. When a real crises comes along... The great
depression, world wars we look to the government. With total collapse the government will move
in and take control and of and more of our lives. And that is the goal. More control, more and more money needed,
more and more people needed to administer and make decisions and more and more
people (read: Voters) dependent on the government. And round and round it goes.
President
Obama says he wants a "Balanced Approach"; revenue (taxes) and
spending cuts. Have you studied all of
the proposed spending cuts? No, because
none have been proposed. Does anybody
really believe that the president will cut spending? Not likely.
Politicians don't cut. That is
like taking Santa Claus away.
Are we on
the road to Greece? Yes, well on the
way. Can we turn back? Probably not. We see the results; many of the countries in
Europe. Beside Greece. We have seen it
in South America (Argentina).
To make
an impact on the problem we must create an environment that allows the American
people to go out and pursue their dreams so they can do what they do
best... build, create jobs, "Make
Money" and "Pay Taxes"!
The
liberal argument sounds so good..."why wouldn't you want to help?".
The conservative argument gets characterized as heartless and miserly. Too many are taken in by this "plausible" argument without critical thinking.
So go
ahead and tax the rich. The rich will be
fine, the poor will be devastated paving the road to big government, less freedom and say
goodbye to the "American Dream".
Say hello to Greece.
