Progressives - it's NOT your money if not being used for the greatest and common good - Granite Grok

Progressives – it’s NOT your money if not being used for the greatest and common good

according to their philosophy.  And so say them directly – Hillary Rosen, Ann Kuster, and Barack Hussein Obama.  If you are not using your money for the common good according to  ReProgressives (presently, one’s money to be “in the economy”), they feel perfectly fine and capable to remove it from you and call it taxation. I remember when Democrat “strategist” Hillary Rosen made this claim back on “Meet The Press” (July 15) on a discussion on jobs and that silly argument that Romney wasn’t paying his taxes:

MS. ROSEN: Well, and that’s the problem. Right now the plan that we’ve seen from Mitt Romney is just mostly significant tax cuts for the wealthy. President Obama actually has put forth multiple plans that the Republican Congress has blocked. So, the only thing we have now is a choice. This conversation may not be what everybody wants, but we do have a choice between these two candidates. And when you look at something like what Mitt Romney has done, hiding his taxes, there’s– you– you know, if every American hid their money and invested it in overseas tax havens, where would this economy be? You know…

Well, Uber-Progressive Regressive Ann McKluster is making the same claim in a debate with Charlie Bass for US Congress in NH CD-2:

“It isn’t about millionaires against everybody else,” Bass said on the tax issue. “It’s about getting this economy turned around again. Raising taxes in the middle of this recession without having any comprehensive plan to turn the economy around is a bad idea.”

If these resources were being used to create new jobs, then the small business wouldn’t be paying taxes on them,” said Kuster. “That’s a deduction.

“The point is, these people with this kind of income right now are not putting the money back into the economy,” she said. “They’re not hiring new people. Frankly, they’re not even buying new goods.”

You see, you do not own yourself.  You are not entitled to the fruits of your labor – your wages, your salary, your income if you are not using it according to THEIR purposes.

You see, they are smarter than the rest of us, they are more intelligent than us, and they have FAR better uses for your assets than you do.  From a moral standpoint, these self-righteous snobs feel perfectly self-justified not only making selfish statements (“I demand that you give me money that I have not earned”) but are willing to use Government to enforce their selfishness.

After all – who are the selfish ones here?  Those that have sweated for what their have and choose how they spend it – or not?  Or the ones that demand that which is not theirs because they judge that they can better spend it?  And give it to those that have not earned it (and, based on my personal observations as a daycare owner) and only feel that they are entitled to it?

And if this is the Land of the Free, why can’t the former do with their wealth as they please?  For if they have to follow the diktats of latter ReProgressives on how they HAVE to spend their money,

are we still truly Free?
