LOL because this is our best, and probably last, chance to save ourselves from total collapse. That 49% used to be just 35%, then 40%, then 45%. Pretty soon that 49% who don’t pay anything will be 51%, and if we still have this same tax system at the point, it is GAME OVER.
We minority of working suckers will forever be outnumbered at the ballot box. The tyrannical free-loading majority will keep voting for and insisting on higher and higher taxes (on us).
Everyone’s freaked out about 9-9-9 maybe going to 50-50-50 some hypothetical day.
I’ll tell you this: within a few years, when today’s 49% becomes 51%, we’re going to see top marginal federal income tax rates going back to 90% or more, capital gains taxes going to 50% or more, massive taxes applied to 401(k) and IRA withdrawals, etc.
And yes, it will be LOL at the stupidity of those who don’t see this train wreck coming and realizing the only hope of stopping it is to get *everyone* paying some federal taxes so that *everyone* will feel the pain when Fedzilla goes on its spending binges.

Bingo.... And that would be the poitn we live under a hard tyranny. A dictatorship of the majority over the minority. True despotism. Exactly why our society was created as a Representative Republic not a Democracy.
Evryone uses the word Democracy because the progressives halways win the battle of words. Makes me sick.
