Now lets use a little common sense about those that need to step up and start paying. How many wealthy people do you know who are willing to just give all of their gain away. How many rich people do you know, will just allow someone to take it all away from them. You don't or they would be called the poor! Now I want you to really be honest about the answer that you give to this next question. How many of the poor and middle class, work for the poor and middle class? If you answered none then you are being truthful to yourself and you have a basic grasp of economics.
Let us start with taxing the wealthy. What does the wealthy do, when they are not making money? They consume just like the rest of us, only they buy a much bigger version of the stuff that we use. We by a fishing boat, they buy a yacht, we buy steak and potatoes, they buy fillet mingon, we buy a chevy, they buy a mercedes, you get the picture. All of this may strike you as a we have nicer stuff and you don't moment, but stop and think how they acquire the finer things in life. They have to buy these things just like you and me but with one exception, they do not have to create the finer things, they buy it. Now you need to ask yourself who makes these finer things for them to buy, we do! Yes the so called "rich" who need to be "patriotic" are paying you and me for these goods and services that some politician seems to think just grows on a magic finer things in life tree. Now back to the first question who hires us the wealthy or poor. Apparently it is the wealthy and not the homeless bunch down in a van by the river (thanks Chris Farley.) Thanks goes to those who can afford the better stuff, because we make it and need them to buy it, so we can justify our showing up at work to make the stuff. There is a whole lot of emphasis on the stuff we make so that the "rich" can buy it. If the wealthy just stoped buying the stuff we make then we cannot justify our pay and we will be out of a job. Now how does taxing the crap out of the rich benefit us when it hurts us. I saw some but clown of a senator (D) who seems to think that our economy is a pie that does not expand or contract, that this is a zero sum game. You know where if I get a buck more than before, then some one else had to loose that buck. Well if you look at our economy that way then you are looking at it from a socializing stand point. Socialist want you to believe that because some one gets rich you get poor, it just doesn't work that way. You too can get rich because the wealthy are sharing their money with us by buying our stuff. This includes factory made goods right down to the organically grown tomatoes at the local farmers market.
Now let us talk about making the rich pay. Let's say we hit them with a 40 or even 45% tax on every dollar that the rich take away from some poor struggling family. Now the wealthy have way less money to buy a yacht or parts for it, you, as boat builder are seeing less and less rich cliental come to see your boats, that you have painfully and skillfully crafted. You also notice that parts are starting to pile up in your warehouse, this is not good you think to yourself. Now the year goes on and fewer and fewer people visit your boat shop and you do not carry the inexpensive dinghies for the poor (not enough money in building them.) You are faced with a delima, keep your doors open or go into bankruptcy and become impoverished. Another thought comes into mind, let some of your labor, the poor people who help you build the boats for the "rich", go in order to cut your operating expenses and keep the doors open and hopefully ride out this "economic downturn."
Now the layoffs start and guess what, you, the working poor are now out of a job, and all because you bought into the lie of socking it to the rich will help you. All you have really done is elected a jackass (D) of a politician into office who says he will sock it to the rich wile taking money under the table from a rich lobyist. And you are still left with out a job, because you let some one convince you that it would be better.
Bottom lines seems to be damn the torpedoes truth and full speed ahead. What you do not see are the ICE BERGS OF REALITY!
Yes, this trickle down is a reality and not voodoo, in other words when the masters are finished with their meals they do give the scraps to the dogs, if not then the dogs would let the foxes raid the hen house.
Enough said for now, I will let you chew on it for a while.
