Just heard on the news that the Comrade has now delivered 21 speeches in which he insists that we "tax the rich."
OK. Unemployment hasn't been below 8% since the Comrade took office. And it's actually about 14% if you count people who have just given up looking for a job.
The national debt is about $16 TRILLION dollars. A truly unimaginable sum.
Gasoline is still hovering about $4.00 a gallon -- not good for the economy on any level, and Comrade Butthead is sticking by his windmills and algae combo as the wave of the future.
The GSA, a government agency that actually is supposed to manage federal office space, properties, etc., has apparently been on some kind of drunken bender, spending close to $1 million for a party in Las Vegas for 300 employees -- and in another efficient activity, paid $330,000.00 to move a real estate agent from Denver to Hawaii. For what, I don't know. Seems they could have simply hired a real estate agent who already lived in Hawaii. The Denver agent then quit the GSA after being comfortably ensconced -- at taxpayer expense -- in the islands. What cost $330,000.00 to move? Did they move the agent's whole house or what?
George Zimmerman, who apparently was community-minded, supportive and helpful to neighbors of all colors, etc., shot and killed a kid who no longer seems to be a sweet and innocent as the press portrays. The local cops at first let Zimmerman off because he claimed self-defense. Now, after significant public pressure, and the New Black Panthers offering a bounty for him dead or alive -- the local authorities have now charged Zimmerman with 2nd-degree murder. However, no one but Zimmerman himself has complained about the Black Panthers putting a price on his head, which is illegal.
So in view of all this turmoil, fraud, and abuse of public authority of all kinds, the Comrade is most worried about rich people not being taxed enough.
I get the feeling the Comrade has taken himself out of the mainstream of the nation. I mean, who bloody cares about the rich?
The Comrade estimates that hiking the tax rate for the rich to 30% of thie income would raise $47 billion over ten years. That would fund the federal government for about six days.
But that's over 10 yesrs. The feds won't be collecting that for 10 years. Tax the rich more, you'll only collect the first year. After that, their funds will either all be in the Cayman Islands or buried in various tax shelters -- probably invested in other countries. The only result of will be that the funds will be withdrawn from the US economy. Period.
And I don't understand what this all about. I mean, does the Comrade think that most citizens just sit up all night stewing about those rich people? I mean, does he believe we're all just seething with envy and resentment? Like, we don't have anything else to think about?
It stinks rather like class warfare, doesn't it? The only problem is, nobody really gives a damn. And those who do are those who want to one day be rich themselves.
The Comrade is irrelevant. Look at it this way, if he disappeared tomorrow, would anyone miss him?
Actually, I think Biden might leave a bigger footprint. And at least Biden's funny; every time he opens his mouth, he sticks his foot in it.
Hurry November. Know what I mean?
Save the Republic.
