Why is the left stuck on tax breaks for the rich...

GoldenRivet · 12-02-10, 11:47 PM

...When it has been made abundantly clear that the GOP openly stated they want those tax cuts for ALL Americans?

Why can they not just spend 90 seconds of their welfare ridden days and read 10 sentences into any given news article to figure it out?

oh... read... got ya

Because ALL Americans includes the rich. And, all things being equal, since the rich have more money, they get to keep more, which just isn't fair. Anything which lets anybody keep more than anybody else is evil, plain and simple. They need to be forced to stop their evil ways and pay their fair share, which, in case you were wondering, is whatever we say it is.

Only the blessed Government can do this for us, so their waste, lying and stealing needs to be overlooked.

Also because the poor, the left, and the poor who vote left are lazy, slothful, illiterate, sliftless drains upon socitey; little better than cockroaches. They are a poison upon the utopic American landscape, and are seeminly oblivious to the adequate number of union workhouses and prisons available in which they may breed and pine away their miserable existences. Any attempt at their gentrification would be a useless waste of money. Better they die sooner than later.

Also a point well taken. You described me to a 'T'.

Because....
stereotypically speaking.....
who wants to give this guy a tax break?

When people think of "the rich", they think of this guy. He's the guy in the corner office, or the private office. He's the CEO, the executive, the wall streeter, the guy who kills your 401K matching, kills your bonuses or pay raises, the guy who lays people off, the guy with the golden parachute, obscene salaires, and ludicrious bonuses. The people that average Joe despises. Nobody wants to give them a tax break. I know i don't.

I'm just hoping I was Dickensian enough so that people don't take the post seriously.

GoldenRivet · 12-03-10, 12:14 AM

the term "all Americans" is pretty much all inclusive.

As long as the tax breaks across the board are all commensurate with earnings I don't see the problem.

Riiiiiiiight. It's the Democrats who are stuck on tax cuts for the rich:

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2...-1.php?ref=fpa

You know how many times I've heard conservatives say: "life isn't fair"?

A LOT.

And yet when it comes to taxes they suddenly care?

GoldenRivet · 12-03-10, 12:20 PM

and why is it that when the Republicans say "All Americans"

the Democrats demonize the wealthy and say "well... maybe not all."

i guess their logic is that someone has to pay for the majority of their voters... may as well be the wealthy people.

GoldenRivet · 12-03-10, 12:24 PM

And no... Life is NOT fair.

for all of my successes there have been failures, and to that i say "Life is not fair.

But when someone says "lets extend tax cuts to All Americans" i dont think there should be any reason to exclude certain groups... especially when the group paying the most taxes are in the higher brackets anyhow.

Im confused by the Democrat mentality that they are entitled to other people's money. I'm astounded that it is a political platform.

Schools, roads, police, fire sure i can understand the public necessities... but all these social programs that encourage laziness?

You are both bloody morons if you think politicians in either party care about anything more than lining their pockets and hanging on to power.

not really talking so much about the guys sitting in the offices on capital hill

I'm talking about the entire movement, ideology, party - by whatever name you wish to apply.

the right says - "Yay tax cuts for everyone to spur the economy... the more people have in their pockets the more likley they are to buy with their pent up demand. yay!"

the left says - "Whoa not so fast! tax cuts are fine and dandy, but not for anyone making over $250,000... I mean, someone has to pay for welfare programs and abortions!"
