“Class warfare arguments always take aim at Wall Street but always result in laws and regulations that crush Main Street. Quite deliberately - it’s Communism 101. “
Exactly right!
Another good article:
Richard Riordan and Eli Broad: It isn’t a sin to be rich

“We also need wealthy Americans to create those jobs.”
If the demodummies think there is such a great disparity in wealth, I suggest everyone of them, crooked bastards that they are, turn over their entire income and treasure chests to the underfunded “takers”. That in itself should even the playing field.
You don’t know a damn thing about what I’m accepting. I formed my opinion from watching self righteous assholes right here in this form talk about crap like deporting the poor.
If you don’t have the manhood to face that fact I can’t help you.
it’s one of a few things they can rely on....they know their in big time trouble over Odungocare. It’s about to get even nastier...the law suits are mounting, which drives the little boy king to the narcissistic revenge mode, which in turn exposes his actions even more, which in turn,drives his numbers down and makes him even more unpopular...he can’t help it, he’s sick.
Just found a great speech by Ronald Reagan:
“Well, I would suggest that no one should have a vested interest in poverty or dependency, that these tragedies must never be looked at as a source of votes for politicians or paychecks for bureaucrats. They are blights on our society that we must work to eliminate, not institutionalize.
Now, there are those who will always require help from the rest of us on a permanent basis, and we’ll provide that help. To those with temporary need, we should have programs that are aimed at making them self-sufficient as soon as possible. How can limited government and fiscal restraint be equated with lack of compassion for the poor? How can a tax break that puts a little more money in the weekly paychecks of working people be seen as an attack on the needy?”

It’s Trickle Down Big Government vs LIBERTY.
Republicans can’t seem to articulate a plan that would lift the poor out of poverty. Nor can they seem to legislate with a plan to left the poor out of poverty.
My plan? Defund the regulatory un-elected bureaucracies repeal 95% of their rules and focus on growing the economy with much flatter, simpler tax rates.
Just as an example, the poor used to be able to grow produce or buy it wholesale and sell it. Now you need business licenses, tax ID numbers, accountants and lawyers.
I'm going to start using the party of slavery instead of the "democrat party" which invokes so much backlash. I imagine it will be even more effective as a chain pulling device.
It's historically accurate and it's not a false insult as "war on women" or other such nonsense that they use.
A little overly sensitive aren’t you cripple? If you’re so down on FReepers why are you here? Going to be all righteous about it? Then YOU need to grow thicker skin.
Sensitive? I’m the one who apparently got some of you a little irritated and all I did was speak up.
There is absolutely nothing worse than a civil war (well, losing one is the worst), but sometimes, as a last resort, they are necessary and inevitable.
I am in my 60’s, and have been an avid reader of history since I was a young boy. I tell you, things are lining up for just such a last resort. I wonder if it can be averted. Then again, I am reminded of something Grace Slick said many, many years ago: “It doesn’t mean shit to a tree.”
“The dems aren’t fools, they are evil statists. The people who vote for and support them are the fools.”
That’s a fact.

The Latest News on Tax Fairness-top 20%’s share up, everyone else’s share down over last 30 years
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444873204577537250318931044.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
If fairness in paying taxes means the amount you pay is based on the amount you make, then the only group in America paying at least a “fair share” is the top 20%—people who make more than $74,000. For everyone else, the tax code is a bargain.
You wouldn’t know this from rat rhetoric, but our tax system, according to a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), is incredibly progressive. Consider: The top 1% of income earners pay an average federal tax rate of 28.9%. (See the nearby table.) The average federal tax rate on the top 20% is 23.2%. The 20% of taxpayers earning between $50,100 and $73,999 pay an average 15.1%, and so on down the line. The CBO report includes payroll as well as income taxes paid.
There’s also another way of looking at fairness, and that’s the tax burden. Here, consider the top 20% of income earners (over $74,000). They make 50% of the nation’s income but pay nearly 70% of all federal taxes.
The remaining 30% of the tax burden is borne by 80% of the taxpayers, those who make less than $74,000. In short, this group’s share of taxes paid, 30%, is lower than the share of income they earn, 50%.
Yet President Obama says that “for some time now, when compared to the middle class,” the wealthy “haven’t been asked to do their fair share.”
He’s right that the system isn’t fair, but not because the top 1% pay too little. It is because they pay too much.
“Republicans better get on the ball and start fighting this NOW — read up on Ronald Reagan. “
Sorry, they are too busy fighting their base and legalizing 30 million more Democrat voters.
Democrats have kept their followers uneducated and poor.
How many poor people ride on John Kerry’s yacht? Besides the ones that serve the drinks.
How many poor people could John Kerry’s Aspen lodge house?
If only the republicans had some gonads. Look at this message the democrats are telling the American people. “You’re poor, you will always be poor, don’t even try, but vote for us and we’ll give you table scraps.”
