Yeah! Tax those greedy fat cats until they can't even pay the water bill! And give me all the money because I say I want it! They need to pay their fair share and give the difference to me!
The bottom line is simple. There will always be winners and losers. Always. Barack Obama and other left wing big thinkers believe if they can just taaaake a little here and move it juuuust a little over there and even things out everyone will be happy. Guess what happens after that? The winners of society will immediately start moving up the ladder yet again due to their decision making and the losers will immediately start moving down the ladder because of their decision making. That is the nature of man.
The whole basis of left wing economic philosophy is rooted in punishing and demonizing those who are successful while actively attempting to prop up the inherent losers of society. This is why poverty still exists despite the massive government efforts of so many politicians past through monstrous initiatives like "The Great Society".
For any open minded liberal reading, I suggest you exit the utopian confines of Burlington, Vermont and take a stroll through your nearest ghetto to see just how well all that government assistance is working out for those poor folks you strive to fight for. Drive through any inner city ghetto or trailer park where 95% of the inhabitants are on government welfare, observe their behavior, and take note of the "necessities" they spend our tax dollars on. Necessities like cigarettes, liquor, lottery tickets, porn, shiny new rims, basketball jerseys, Air Jordan shoes, and all the other vital life sustaining supplies. But if only we could just tax the rich a little bit more.
Get real liberals. You all live in a fantasy dream world full of multicolored rainbows and frolicking unicorns and little green leprechauns handing out endless gold coins to all the cute little critters in the forest.
Here's an important life lesson: There will always be winners and losers. Whether it is a little league baseball game or the big game of life.
Obama and his left wing entourage of ignorant, misguided groupies continue to harp about "taxing the rich" and "a new vision of America in which prosperity is shared."
That sounds fine and good and all, except it isn't possible. Some important thinkers of recent centuries have said a few words about this. And Barack Obama and the rest of his bruised knee groupies would do well to listen.
"The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."
---Winston Churchill
"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association -- the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."
---Thomas Jefferson
This isn't a recent debate by any means. Some 30 years ago economist Milton Friedman fielded a question from an Obama supporter in the making. Friedman easily explains why "taxing the rich" doesn't work.
