How Much More Should The Rich Pay
by Big Dog on May 29, 2010 at 22:56 Political
Joe Biden said that people who did not pay their fair share were unpatriotic. He told us it was time for everyone to pay their fair share. What he meant to say was that the wealthy, the ones who pay most of the federal taxes in this country, had to pay more while 47% of wage earners paid no federal taxes. I want to ensure that I point out that it is federal taxes because even though we discuss federal officials and their desire for more taxes to the federal government there are still people who are a little slow and will tell me that all wage earners pay Social Security or some moronic thing.
Anyway, Hillary Clinton is on the bandwagon again and she said the rich do not pay enough taxes. There are quite a few wealthy liberals who agree with her but strangely enough, none of them write checks to the government for the increase they think they should pay.
Make no mistake about this. Any citizen can write a check for any amount (that he can afford) to the Treasury in order to pay off the debt. If liberals think they should pay more in taxes then they can write a check to pay more. None of them do. You know that none of them do because if they did they would brag about it and it would run nonstop on the state run media. None of them have sent extra money and they all look for ways to reduce their tax burdens.
They want the rich to pay more but only the other rich people.
Clinton is a liberal moron (though she would have been better than Obama) and this is the creed that liberal morons live by. Tax the rich because even though they pay most of the federal taxes in this country they do not pay enough to satisfy the overlords in DC.
If you are a rich person and you agree with Clinton then take out your checkbook and write a hefty check to the Treasury. If you are a rich person who agrees with her and you do not do this then you are a hypocrite and need to stop calling for higher taxes because you really don’t want them.
If you are rich and don’t agree with Clinton then stop donating your money to any of the morons in DC. Especially ignore the requests of the liberals who want to raise your taxes.
It is time to stop feeding the beast.
And it is time for Hillary to write a big check to the Treasury.
As an aside, has she paid off her campaign debt yet? She is begging for others to pay her debt and she has over 100 million dollars in the bank. Isn’t amazing how she always wants to use someone else’s money?
Of course, her hubby made a deal with Obama to help with the cover-up of the Sestak bribe so maybe her debt will magically disappear.
Bill did not get involved for free…
Never surrender, never submit.

“Clinton is a liberal moron (though she would have been better than Obama) and this is the creed that liberal morons live by. Tax the rich because even though they pay most of the federal taxes in this country they do not pay enough to satisfy the overlords in DC.”
Be careful not to over-generalize. “Tax the rich” appeals to thoughtless “follower liberals,” who are consumed by envy, like the idea that someone else should pay for their good times, have no moral scruples against free-riding on others’ labors, and lack all understanding of economics, markets, and incentives. Thus, it makes a good club with which the left-liberal vanguard beats the drums to whip up enthusiasm from the followers.
But “vanguard liberals” — the ones who wield political and economic power — understand quite well that “tax the rich” is only a motif with which to increase their power and pelf. They’re not stupid enough to buy into the notion that we can tax — or spend — ourselves into prosperity. That’s just pabulum for the hoi polloi. A vanguard liberal, whether in or out of office, intends to be the “indispensable middleman:” He positions himself between where money is coming from (taxpayers) and where money is going to (government programs, boondoggles, sweetheart deals with well-connected insiders), and catches as much of the flow as he can.
Compare the above patterns with the behavior of prominent left-liberals, especially Obama’s Chicago cronies, and see if you can find a counterexample. I can’t.
Very good points indeed…
I might believe this might be fair when Barrie claws back Oprah’s money, and Franklin Raine’s money, and all the money Alice Gore has made on the “green jobs”.
Until then, he needs to shut up, and the rest of his admin also.
Its propaganda, add it state, local, federal , social security taxes, as well as limits on the ability to take deductions combined with the capital gains tax long term NOT indexed for inflation as well as the increased medicare tax also not indexed for inflation on capital gains, dividends, rental income, a person would well face a 50% marginal rate, while folks making 40-50k pay little to no federal taxes and receive a lot of the socialistic benefits.
“Fair share”, of course the wealthy or higher income tax payers are paying their “fair share”, but if your warren buffet and have billions to give away you are not in touch with the reality in which future business and managers and even landlords and hard working business owners have to deal with this reality.
