In my house ‘fair’ is known as The F-Word.
He’s brilliant.
Saw DeeDee Meyers on TV this weekend. She said Obama’s campaign is that many people believe there is no good reason wealthy people make so much more, that they are not really any more intelligent, that it’s because the system is “rigged” against some people and the wealthy are using “gimmicks” to get rich.
I wanted someone to yell at her for being a damn communist and challenge every sylable of the nonsense she was spouting.
I don’t see rich people as “superior” however does she honestly think most CEO’s are not smarter than the average guy loitering on the street?
We allow liberals to sooo BS us. It is not “fair” for a non working non contributing person to have lots of kids, take drugs, commit crimes, get supported by working people - and then dare to point to income disparities!
Life is not “fair”.
Get used to it.
Spot on!
How'd that turn out for the Frenchies or the Afreakans?
No one has captured the situation more succinctly.
Promises to the poor about taxing the rich, promises to the rich about loopholes and special treatment. Money from the rich, votes from the poor.
The rest of us get the shaft.
I think even this misses the point; a lot has to do with the way the parent and the offspring define “success.” If Bob Beckel thinks he’s successful because he plops his big gluteus into a chair and spouts off ignorant comments, most of which are lies, I would beg to differ with him, whatever he’s paid. He ‘s an ignoramus , and I’d rather know how to change the spark plugs in a car and tune it to my customers’ satisfaction all day long for a tenth what he gets paid, any day, all day, every day.
“High tax rates have too often simply caused wealthy people to put their money into tax-free securities or to send it overseas.”
The irony in all this is that the “rich” people who pay $30,000 per plate to meet and greet Obama are doing just that.
In fact, even if you succeeded in making outcomes uniform, that would DIMINISH fairness, not achieve it.
In any society, some people are willing to work harder to excel at whatever metric is under consideration (wealth, health, love, etc.), and ensuring that those who don't care and don't work get exactly the same reward as someone willing to work their ass off is inherently UNfair. Even if the hardworking person knew about the equalization system beforehand and dialed back their effort (if they could even bring themselves to do so) so that they got equal reward for equal (reduced) work, they've still been ripped of of the OPPORTUNITY to trade harder work for success in an area they care about.
Hopefully many will read and consider and see the truth and how they are being misled intentionally.
IT WORKS! The is why they continue to deceive the voters.
WAKE UP!
