The democrats economic agenda uses rhetoric and class warfare to get you to believe things that are not true. The biggest of these sins regards taxes–it is the biggest because they cannot possibly run their huge government without your money.
And that’s part one of the lie. It is your money. Weather you are a dishwasher or a CEO you made an agreement to do a job for compensation, whether it’s sweeping a floor or creating wealth for a corporation. Your work, your property. So when the left talks about repealing tax breaks all they are doing is talking about resuming more theft of someone else’s property.
The second part of that lie is that they can produce a method by which only the rich are taxed. While the definition of rich will always change as the need for more of other people’s property increases to pay for more and more government, consider that every tax in a free market is a tax on everyone else.
The wealthy are either running a business or invested in them. Taxes are a cost of doing business. So every tax reduces available resources discouraging investment that could create growth or add new equipment or pay for more jobs. To offset that expense the business will either raise costs, reduce quality, or fire employees. The consumer is ultimately the one who suffers. You and I will pay that tax in higher prices, fewer choices, products that need to be replaced more often, or from losing a paying job.
Higher taxes create unemployment no matter how or where the government later spends them and no amount of stimulus–or creating future debt to spend now–can offset the impact of the taxes needed to support debt.
The truly wealthy–the poster children the left uses for class warfare, are never really affected, and are almost always in league with the liberal tax and spenders so they can carve out exceptions for their wealth–instead of paying taxes, they make campaign contributions.
That’s why we can say that all the spending bills and welfare projects spun as stimulus or job creators are a lie and the people who sold them to you hucksters. And every time they tell you they will not tax anyone who makes less than $250,000.00 dollars a year they are either too stupid to understand the realities–Bubble breathing shills like Carol Seiu-Porter–or hope you are too stupid to realize them yourself.
Every tax is a tax you will eventually have to pay and if you let your government continue to grow it will be a very large tax indeed.
