As this country falls deeper into debt, the lefts answer to it is "we need to tax the rich and corporations more, they are not paying their fair share" Of coarse any more, their idea of the rich is anyone who pays taxes. Not once do you hear the left say we need to make deep cuts in spending. Its always someone is not paying enough taxes, like that would make any difference anyway. It would be like trying to put out a forest fire with a glass of water.
I don't know where Guzzi got his chart either, because I'm also paying more taxes than I've ever paid. Its not just at the Federal level. State and local taxes have been increasing, because they are over spending also. My local school taxes are going up 3.5 mills because the teachers union decided they don't want a wage freeze. (Waa,Waa,Waa, we want a wage increase) So what does the school board do? They raise taxes.
We have reached a point where half the population pays little or no tax. Isn't it great they can, and do vote money from your pocket. You don't have to strive, and work hard anymore in this country to better your self financially. Just say I want what he got, and our socialist government will start another program, along with a bunch of federal employees, and then you can get some of what he has.
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan"..
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A....
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Gee, its kind of like using common sense. Of coarse the liberals, socialists, and their like, never enter common sense into any equation. Could it be they just plain don't have any?
