Quick Thought: "All your money belongs to us!" - Granite Grok

Quick Thought: “All your money belongs to us!”

Once again, running behind!  This Sunday’s Meet The Press had this gaffe (accidentally telling the truth) said by Senator Dick Durban (Progressive -Il):

“…for goodness sake, we have a tax code that takes out $1.3 Trillion out of the economy, out of the Treasury I should say, each year and in that we can’t find some savings? Closing some loopholes, quote “raising revenue”?  Of Course we can!”

He did say “out of the economy” at the first stab and then quickly “recovered” to the more “I am Government and I should have first pickings!” that a typical Big Government Statist would have.  He was actually right – the tax code allows those that actually earn it to keep that $1.3 Trillion for themselves – and why not?  But in typical Progressive outlook, every dollar that we get to keep is seen as a dollar that is “robbed” from Government – else why would they continue to yammer that “this loophole” or “that loophole” has to be fixed.

Loophole nothing – You chuckleheads wrote the law in the first place so put the blame on yourselves for:

  • thinking it IS your money in the first place
  • writing the law in such away that allowed us to keep that money

$1.3 Trillion bucks he believes is his – as if the current $3.9 Trillion (about 25% or so of the ENTIRE NATIONAL GDP!)  he is currently spending isn’t enough???

Yeah, we just think that its our money – he believes that “you didn’t earn that!” so you aren’t entitled to it.  But he’s happy to give it to the layabouts and illegal aliens….
