Tax the rich? I get it now

I've been having a hard time understanding the Comrade's "Tax the rich" mantra. Why? Why tax the rich? If you took away all the money the rich have, it wouldn't cover the national debt. Does the Comrade just have this knee-jerk, superstitious marxist hatred for the rich? Why is he so heavily on the rich?

Well I think I just figured it out. And stupid me, it's so bloody obvious:  taxing the rich cripples the free market economy by limiting how much the rich have to invest in private enterprise. And you know what? It's exactly this point that explains the dems' insistance on "Tax the rich."

You see, many of the rich are pretty astute business people. They create wealth. They create jobs. They look for promising investments. They operate beyond the control of the feds. They aren't dependent on food stamps, social security or welfare checks.

And so far, the Comrade's socialist projects haven't attracted many dollars from the rich. Apparently they don't see much hope for electric cars and windmills, socialized medicine or anything like that. They aren't willing to bust open their wallets and buy into an economy that's headed in the wrong direction. I mean, why throw good money after bad? The "bad" being what the rich have lost so far when the stock market tanks, when GM busts out, when solar power is not much more than a toy only the EPA could love.

So tax the rich, right? A tax is a law that takes your money. No matter how you dress it up -- calling it a "fair share" or "civic duty" or any of that crap, a tax is a seizure of your private property.

So if the rich won't play socialist football with the Comrade, he tries to marshall his forces -- including congress -- against them to march in and simply sezie their wealth.

Then he take the money -- and anything else they might produce in the future -- and pours it into unionizing the free labor force, into more and more regulations against domestic energy production, into stamping out private health insurance and all of the other stupid shit social engineering projects the Comrade has launched.

All the resources of the rich become part of the federal government's power base. It's a tool for more central control, for a centrally-controlled economy. After all, that's worked so well in Europe, hasn't it?

But see, the Comrade's got to get the rich to play. And they won't. So tax them. Threaten them with fines and incarceration if they won't play.

How vile and disgusting is this idiot in the White House? How dictatorial and authoritarian. How did this monster ever get elected?

Well, we've only got another couple years to try to tolerate this crap and boot this creep out of office.

In the meanwhile it's very important to NOT tax the rich. Not as part of a compromise on the debt ceiling or anything like that. DO NOT LET THIS SON OF A BITCH CONSOLIDATE ANY MORE POWER IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. It's very, very serious threat to individual liberty.

Save the Republic.
