All this "hate the rich" fanfair is completely stupid.
All this "the poor are angels" is equally stupid.
The so called rich create ALL the jobs.
The obama taxes hit people who create jobs and wind up causing them to have to fire half of their staff.
There is no VIRTUE to being poor.
A lot of people are poor BECAUSE of taxes, directly AND indirectly.
How? all the taxes add up to lower pay if they raise them on you AND - higher taxes means that employers get rid of people because of taxes. you lose your job, while living paycheck to paycheck ... HELLO POVERTY.
The enemy is taxes and socialism, NOT the rich.
A rich person, by being rich, has NEVER made you poor or even taken money from you, nor affected you in any way, BUT TAXES HAVE.
Those very jobs you complained about going overseas, IS BECAUSE OF SUBSIDIES PAID BY OBAMA TO SHIP JOBS OVERSEAS. put the blame where it belongs. half of you people must be drinking the cool aid of main stream news. we are paying tax money TO THE COMPANY to ship the jobs overseas.
Finally, if you've gotten this far in reading my comment, then the final truth is that 90% of these taxes are UNNECESSARY, they keep a giant government, bloated beyond the scope of what it should be in the first place. who would you rather take care of the poor, you and your church, or some government agency that makes that same family of mom, dad, child get divorced, prove they are poor, move them out of their family home of 3 generations, prove they have no funds in their bank account, including funds for junior's college education, and THEN give them $300 / month.
Instead of paying taxes, local groups, organizations and individuals would do a much better job of taking care of the poor, homeless, elderly, single moms, families falling on hard times, than any government agency.
Instead of paying taxes TO HAVE JOBS SHIPPED overseas, "in the interest of free trade" yes this is what they claim it is for, we could completely eliminate those taxes form ever being taken in the first place and stop giving it to companies.
Instead of collecting huge amounts, yes millions, from individual people, we could cut all the social programs AND programs that actual hurt the american family AND remove the loop holes. I guarantee you the rich would love it.
50% of the population is either exempt on taxes, or gets a full refund at tax season. that means they pay no taxes, because they are poor enough not to have to pay. that means if you actually are in the top 50% you can afford to pay taxes. any sane person would then go to their accountant and tax lawyer and make sure to pay the least amount of taxes.
There is nothing virtuous about paying for a government, that doesn't represent you, does not care about you, tries their best to take as much money from you, JUST BECAUSE.
Instead of defending the government and fighting about who should pay MORE taxes, you should be fighting for everyone to pay less and less and less taxes, every year.
The two party system throws a lot of dust into the air and tries to make sure you are missing 3rd parties. The reality is between democrat and republican, there is no real option or choice between the two. They might say one is liberal and one is conservative, but the reality is that YOU the followers of these parties are the liberal or conservatives. The truth of the matter is that, once in office, the candidates do absolutely nothing different. A republican or democrat spends spends spends and makes sure they get re-elected. A democrat is for big government and a republican is for big government. Where is your choice exactly?
The Old Boy's Club of Democrats and Republicans
Well, there are far more choices now than say 20 years ago. We have a true choice in the Libertarian party. Let me clarify something before you automatically assume you understand the Libertarian platform. Notice any derogatory comments made about the Libertarian party all come from republican / democrat shills. They are never going to tell you fairly and squarely that the Libertarian party is what every candidate and politician should be after. Government is supposed to be there simply to protect us from outside invaders and to smooth things out between parties, through judges, and criminals, through the police. But in their zeal to make a bigger grander government, the democrats and republicans are trying to keep and control you form cradle to grave. You don't like an issue, take it to the government. It is the ultimate in mind control.
The reality is that the current parties wish nothing more than to control you and make sure you hand over your money to their nice wall street buddies that got them elected. It is the ultimate class warfare, with us on the other side. There cannot be now said that our government is not corrupt. They cannot deny that they handed over trillions of our dollars, and debt, over to wall street, with the nice name of bail out attached to it.
But, the Libertarian party is here and is strong. We stand for the constitution. Imagine a world where you had no taxes whatsoever. Imagine that you could open up a little shop of your own without having to pay exorbitant licenses and other secret taxes to keep your out of the market. Our country to return to producing things instead of consuming what other people produced. We were one of the best manufacturer of goods on the planet, but through the 2 party system America has been gutted.
Every election period we scream throw the bums out. But the only thing everyone does is ends up electing the same damn person. Who cares that it's a republican "woman". She is the same thing as the democrat male. There is no difference. But the propaganda machine works over-time to make sure you don't see it.
Here are you local Libertarian candidates. Contact them and get to know them. America does not have to go down in a ball of flames. America does not have to default on our own dollars. It is a new day and we can see the sun behind these very very gloomy clouds that the democrats and republicans paint.
Met your Libertarians candidates, greet them, love them. For, they are your best hope for a real future in America.
