If the government wants to give me back more of my money, I’m not going to oppose it. However, these politicians need to decide what it is they are doing. Is this a tax rebate, or is it a redistribution of the wealth? Yesterday, on FOX news, Harry Reid (Dem from the state of idiot) complained about the stimulus package in his whinny little voice. He said (paraphrased), “We need to put the stimulus package into the hands of the poor people who need it and not give Warren Buffet (read: rich white man which democrats hate, despite most of them being rich and/or white) a tax rebate.”

Harry Reid flat out lied when he said that. And he knows it. But he shamelessly comes out and spins his concocted tales anyway.

First, if it’s a tax rebate (which all the politicians are touting), then whoever pays the income tax should get their rebate. Rich or poor. But the Democrats and many Republicans say “tax rebate” but what they really mean is “redistribution of wealth.” They want to take the money from the evil rich people and give it to the struggling poor. They do this for one reason: to buy the votes of poor people.

Second, real rich people don’t pay an income tax as the huge majority of their money comes in the form of capital gains. Which is taxed at a much lower rate. Do you really think the rich politicians (Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi, Bush, Clinton etc. etc.) are going to vote to tax themselves? Not on your life. When they talk about taxing the rich, they are talking about the working rich. Those making $60,000 + a year. They don’t want to tax the multi-millionaires or the billionaires because that’s them. They want to tax the $100,000-aires.

Third, most of this “wealthy” taxation gets redistributed to deadbeats, drug addicts and generational welfare recipients. These people don’t work and they don’t contribute to our society. They drain our society. This is socialism merging into communism. It didn’t work too well in Russia or China and it won’t work well here. But how many Americans are going to have to suffer before people in this country wake up to what the liberals are trying to do?
