Sometimes Boortz really pi##es me off, especially on social issues, but he really knocks this one out of the park.

Agreed. Also, taxing the rich is mostly an illusion, since those how have the means to control prices, wages, and/or choose where or whether to operate a business can ultimately shift those taxes onto the non-rich, as mentioned in my post “Let’s Face It - You Can’t Tax The Rich:

I am so sick of Obama and his administration saying that we all need to pay our “fair share” What about the 46% of the American population that pay no income taxes??? when are they going to pay their fair share??? I would like to hear someone ask Obama this just once!!!

Funny. I’ve been sick of them for over forty years, since my younger sister was jealous of my larger allowance...

What drags down our economy, Dear Ruler? Parasites. It’s the parasites, leaches and moochers that are dragging down our economy with their incessant demands for more and more of someone else’s money.

Well, obviously, that's racist code language. I don't have the "decoder ring" that the race baiters have, but I can recognize it when I see it.

raising taxes on the rich is also a tax increase on job creators who pay taxes through individual tax returns.

What do individual taxes on the rich have to do with job creation?????

And while they envy those they call greedy, they ARE the greedy. See my tagline.

I am becoming more convinced that the Wealth Envy Crowd are the upper middle class that confuse activity with productivity and can’t figure out how the neighbors who appear to have more and less worries “get ahead.” They also don’t realize that a lot of people who have outwardly material goods are deeply in debt or broke (see retired athletes for the most extreme examples).

The most vocal class warfare poster of the FB friends lives in a neighborhood where the least expensive home listed today is 589K. She drives a Mercedes. She sends one of her children to a private high school that costs 22K this year for full tuition. The vacation pictures (2 a year!) are to very nice places. In her world she is struggling.

In PrincessB world, that’s a really nice life. Am I jealous? Not really. I am happy with what I have materially and don’t mind the big vacay happening once every 2-3 years. I have “more” than a lot of people out there.
