Damn Democrats

donkeyThe democrats are reeling over Obama’s current tax proposal which extends Bush’s tax cuts over the next two years. The democrats wanted to extend the current tax rates to all but high earners. Does that make sense? Really, does that make sense to tax the rich and babysit the middle class? Who do you think contributes to schools, non-profits, and churches? It’s not people making minimum wage! We are not a socialist country. This type of thinking (i.e., the Robin Hood philosophy of taking from the rich and giving to the poor) is what really upsets me about politics and why I am not a democrat and will never be. Ever. Democrats are dumb!

If the current proposal passes which extends tax cuts to everyone (America is the land of equality, right?) then there will be more investment, greater spending, improved business prospects. Dumb donkeys are so used to pandering to the middle-class that they don’t think of the bigger picture. Get it? Better economy!

    I totally agree! I don’t understand why anyone who makes an honest living and manages to become successful (hence rich for a lack of a better term) is portrayed as a villain. My husband and I both grew up in lower middle class homes. I grew up in a single parent home. We were taught that handouts are not ok. We were taught to work hard, study hard and became successful. We worked while my husband attended medical school and I started a business. It wasn’t easy. It took a lot of time and effort. We made sacrifices including spending time away from each other as we both pursued our careers and delaying the start of our family. Today, we are rich. I don’t hesitate to say that because we’ve earned it. So, after all this, how is it fair to tax us in order to pay welfare and other benefits to those who park their ass at home?

      Thank you Paulin for commenting. I don’t know why it’s so hard to figure out the tax situation in America. I mean, it is mind-boggling how much we all pay in taxes and by the time I retire, I probably won’t even be able to take advantage of what limited benefits there are available.
