STOP BY AND BUMP THE FUNDRAISER THREAD

The Democrats have declared class war...on us. Their blaring assertion is once more of special privilege for the wealthy. It continues to be reported and repeated as if worthy of consideration. There can be only one conclusion.
They want you to stay broke.
According to Tom Daschle, we are giving money to, “the wrong people.” Ridiculous. First, the Bush Economic package gives nothing to anyone, it merely does not take what someone already owns, their tax dollars.
Second, by what supernatural process does Daschle claim to know who is right and who is wrong? Is he now psychic? Does he now know how someone will spend their own money? What business is it of his? These would be interesting questions, if anyone would ask them.
The fact that this yawp goes unchallenged says all that need be said about liberal bias in the press.
We grow weary of the Democrats’ cry of every tax benefit being, “for the rich.” No amount of explaining makes a dent in their simplistic litany. They keep repeating the big lie.
What’s going on here? Why are we being bombarded? The truth is the Democrats are in a tough spot.
If we win, they lose.
Any increase in economic activity will redound to the benefit of George Bush, the Republicans and the American people. Having already received a severe drubbing, Democrats are not eager to repeat the experience. They think the problem is they didn’t complain loudly enough last time around. It is a mistake they don’t plan to repeat. This is why their shrill caws echo down the corridors of power.
If one examines the financial status of those Democrats, one would find that they are, in fact, rich. They arrogate themselves the right to determine who gets money, how they can spend it. That is worse than communism. They want to pull the ladder up after themselves. The more we suffer, the more they stand to gain.
The papers are filled with speculation about why Americans don’t resent the rich. Some of us want to be rich. Some admire the hard work and tenacity it takes to get rich. Others are prepared to have richness thrust upon them.
Some know that the rich are responsible for creating jobs and businesses. That getting rich is their fair reward. Surprise, Americans don’t want a Democrat socialist workers’ paradise. This is the real class war. The liberal political class against the rest of us. Disguised as political debate, the signs are clear if one knows where to look.
According to Tom Daschle, over 200,000 people earn over $1 million per year. Daschle claims such an earner would receive a $24,000 benefit. That’s about a 5% reduction in their taxes, 2% of their gross income. When it’s put that way, it doesn’t sound so big.
According to other figures, over 93 million people will receive an average $1000 benefit from the Bush plan. A family of four earning $40,000 with two children will receive a 96% cut in their Federal taxes. Again, this is something Democrats are careful not articulate.
According to Donald Evans, Assistant Treasury Secretary, 79% of the benefits go to small business owners who employ half the workers in this country. This means more jobs.
We have two competing theories of economic stimulus. One, the Democrat plan, involves not taking a small amount of money from consumers who will perhaps buy a refrigerator.
The Republican plan involves a basic change in the structure of the economy. Entire industries will be built with the new capital. Jobs, wealth and businesses will be created. As people grow wealthier, their ability to spend becomes greater. The newly created dollars drives yet more economic activity, more jobs, people making more money. You get the picture.
Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House. This is the voice of a concerned electorate. They begin to see through the Democrat “soak the rich” smokescreen.
Some Democrat Senators who obstructed legislation in the last congress were defeated. Others, like Senator Daschle, were reduced to whining about Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. This was particularly gratifying.
The Bush plan will pass with a few Democrat add-ons. Meanwhile, the Democrats will attack with increasing hysteria. This is good, it means they’re losing.
Although annoying, the Democrat campaign against the rich will ultimately come to naught. It is altogether fitting and proper that it should to do.
Don’t worry, ‘04 is only 22 months away. And away we go.
And Feudalism requires a consolidation of money and power in the hands of a few people. These few dole it out to the "deserving" others, at their own whims.
Life in their "ideal" moment in history involved
Clinton stopped Americans from tapping into fuels on their own soil. He could easily be compared to a lord who forbids serfs to go into the local forest for scraps of firewood and tells them to import wood from another kingdom.
Democrats have their share of wealthy and powerful supporters. They have only disdain for their wealth and use it to advance socialism because they care enough to spend other people's money. Not believing in christian ideas, they nevertheless know that personal riches are not the way to heaven. Their heaven is the socialist utopia and their religion the mantra, "To each according to their needs, From each according to their abilities..." But with themselves as the overseeing lord deciding who has needs and whose abilities will be tapped.
Democrats vs Freedom, Liberty, Constitution, anything American
The class war is instigated by the rich and PR-powerful against the middle class. The Red/Blue election map shows that the country is majority Republican except in the cities and the toney suburbs.
1. People who are too stupid, frightened or otherwise incapable of self rule.
2. Elitists who want to rule ALL people at ANY cost usually by using the people (useful idiots) from #1
The Fiscal Burden of Government in China is 15% of the GDP. I don't know what we are doing here but going Communist would be a tax break at this point.
Capitalism makes the world go round. If we have smaller government - things get better. What things? All things.
