Tax the Rich - ramblings
(I'm feeling Bloated with lower back dicomfort)


If you promise to cut taxes for 95% of Americans and you promise to tax big business and anyone making over 250.000, are you not reallly taxing 100% of Americans?

If you raise the taxes on Walmart, a huge business, are we to believe that Walmart will simply pay those increased taxes and not pass them on to the customer?  All these big businees and small business  that easily reach the 250.000 mark are not just going to swallow increased taxes without pushing those off onto us.

This is a simple economic fact.

Any company that is impacted by higher taxes that does not adjust prices accordingly will either fold or layoff employees.  How exactly does that help us? 

In strained ecomonic times, raising taxes is the last thing we need.  If business raise prices due to increased taxes then any promise tax cut is rendered void.  You give me an extra dollar and you charge walmart an extra dollar then my dollar is worthless.

Why do we attack the rich and wish to increase their taxes.  Is it not enough that the top 2% of this country pay over 70% of American taxes. (rounding down)

If you cut taxes on anyone under 250.000, some of which are NOT paying any taxes at all, are you not taking from the successful and giving to the less successful.

If you believe it is the duty of successful business owners and coporations to give their profits and earnings to less successful, distribute the wealth, then you must be one of those people that believe "there are no losers",  "everyone gets a trophy", "everyone gets a ribbon", "there is no last place".

I am against over taxing the rich.  I am against the concept that they should be willing to pay more becasue they have a duty to the rest of us.  I am against successful business being bitch-slapped so that we can feel better about our woefullly lacking bank accounts.

If I get an A+ on my math quiz 
You get a C- on your math quiz
I have to give up the A+ that I earned
so that you can have a B you didn't earn
and reduce me to a B
so that we can be equal.

Are we really equal?
