Gas prices are soaring, putting a pinch on family budgets. Most Americans are spending about one quarter of their income on credit card interest, meaning there is less money to put into the economy. Then, we have the wonderful Democrats and their brilliant tax policies.
In their rejection of the a renewal on the Bush tax cuts, Democrats have stated that they want to increase the taxes paid by the rich. Who would those rich be? According to their own words, anyone making $32,000 a year is rich. $32,000. Rich.
I've often wondered how people can believe that the likes of Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and others in the Democrat elite are the protectors of the poor. These people wouldn't know poor if it slapped them in the face. They have surely never been around many poor people for any length of time, especially if they consider an annual income of $32,000 to be rich. Do they understand that it's many of these "rich" people who are among those facing mortgage foreclosure?
The fact that many of these Democrat Fat Cats inherited their fortunes, therefore exempting them from taxes, does not stop them from the idea of taxing the rest of us into absolute poverty. They'll still have their fortunes, right? Yet, they continue to come up with more and more taxes, trying to put us all in the poor house, which they'll then develop programs to care for us, making us utterly reliant on the government for our every necessity.
Now, on top of calling anyone making $32,000 rich, they think we should pay for programs to cut global warming with a gas tax. Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich) is calling for a 50 cent tax on each gallon of gas to pay for programs to combat global warming. Never mind that every day more and more evidence comes out that proves global warming is a hoax, we should accept another tax on gas to pay for it.
There is no way these people are actually concerned over the poor or global warming. There would be nothing stopping them from donating the money they want to fund their projects. Rep. Dingell could donate all he wants to fight global warming. Ted Kennedy could use his family's fortune to provide health care for several thousand poor, if he was really interested in that. That's not what they are worried about, though.
Again, it's not about caring for the poor or reducing the number of poor. These guys get their power rush from there being so many poor. The need there to be poor people. No, it's about making as many people dependent on the government as possible. In other words, it's about making as many poor as they possibly can.
We must stop this insane plan. We cannot allow them to destroy America. For that will surely be the outcome.
