Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #22 – Raising taxes: Whose money is it anyways? Whose money is it FIRST?

Skip's Sauntering Snippets Podcast

What is WRONG with the Left in trying to excuse any of their tax increases by simply stating “it’s for the common good” and “what’s fair”? And we go “How MUCH is fair?”. And we never get an answer – well, except for one person.

Our Constitutional Republic (and NOT “our democracy” as the Left keeps saying – because they DO want America to be turned into a direct democracy (otherwise known as a mobocracy). There are Four Pillars to our Republic:

  • Right To Free Speech
  • Right to Freedom of Expression / Religious beliefs
  • Right to Private Property
  • Right to a Government that stays within its Constitutional boundaries.

Which side of the political aisle is always denigrating and chipping away at ALL of them?  Yeah, not us.

Right to Private Property; when we taunt the Left with the phrase “Taxation is Theft”, there’s more than a little truth in that. We understand that government costs us in a number of ways including the taking of our Property from us (our wealth, our money, IS our Property) via taxation. What the Left hates is we reminding them, via that phrase, that our increasing and seemingly UNlimited Government is taking more and more of our money (either directly from us or via higher prices on goods from producers that factor THEIR taxes into their cost of materials for their product).

Sidenote: so NEVER believe Politicians when they say they are going to ONLY tax businesses – the latter will always pass that tax onto us. They know it, the businesses know it, but only the economically literate amongst us realize it.  And Politicians are COUNTING that there are a lot of economic illiterates out there.

Right, Bernie Sanders?
