One-Out-of-Seven Favor 90% Tax Rate for Millionaires

One-Out-of-Seven Favor 90% Tax Rate for Millionaires

Just one-out-of-seven Americans (14%) would like to see a 90% tax rate on earnings
above a million dollars a year. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone
survey finds that 74% are opposed to such a high tax rate for the nation's highest
earners. Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans oppose the 90% tax rate, along
with 66% of Democrats and 72% of those not affiliated with either major party.

I'm all for someone paying their fair share in taxes, but you have to agree that 90% is way more than their fair share. It's the socialism that the Republicans accused Obama of advocating when he only supported a measly 3-4% increase in taxes -- the same rate of the Clinton years. They shouldn't bitch, that tax rate is lower than it was when their savior -- Ronald Reagan was president. The tax rate right now, is what, 36%? Obama is gonna raise it to 39%? The highest tax rate I'd support would be 50%. I don't care how much you earn, if the government came along and took half of your earnings away I'm sure you'd be pissed, right? But I don't know what word to describe what I'd be if the government came along and took 90% of my earnings...that's just plain robbery.

And speaking of tax hikes....I found this interesting: More Voters Than Ever Say Tax Cuts Help the Economy

Now I don't adhere to any ideology. I believe in doing what's right. In a faltering economy, I don't think raising taxes is the right thing to do - to anyone. When and (a minor if) the economy gets going again, and is strong, then I'd support raising taxes, but only then.

Now before I get called a right-winger like I have been called already today...I just told you, I don't adhere to an ideology. I don't believe in the right wing ways of doing things or the left ways of doing things. Sure, there's some policies on both sides of the aisle that I find appealing, but I do not "belong" to either side. I am a registered independent. Always have been and always will be. I don't care which side of the aisle you cling to, if you do something that I don't like I am going to bash you for it. I won't kiss either side's ass. You both suck in my humble opinion and have done nothing but bring this country down further into the hellhole it is in. The fun part is sitting and watching you two blame each other for it. You're both to fucking blame. I would say that you should work together to fix things -- but history shows that really isn't a good idea, either. When you guys work together, the American people get a double fucking up the ass. So yeah, every 4-8 years you guys take turns in fucking the American people up the ass and that's fine...just as long as it isn't a bipartisan fuckeroo.

Now, I hope I cleared things up. If not, let me know in the comments.

Cheers!

This is what I'm fucking talking about

Today's post comes from Phuck Politics. I encourage you to check out that site for more great posts like this...

Enjoy!

Stick beating

Why can't we do this shit?
Pakistan's opposition leader defied house arrest on Sunday to join anti-government protests that quickly descended into violence and chaos, with running battles between stone-throwing protesters and police.

Smashed windows. Torched tires. Throwing stones. Beating people with sticks. These motherfuckers know how to stage a goddamn protest.

And what drove them to this? Was it because their country was being overran by a bunch of business assholes? Were they forced to use their hard earn money to bailout their financial industry? Was their government allowing corporations to give bonuses using their money?

Fuck no. All this awesome shit went down because they wanted a judge reinstated.

So why don't we do that here? Why aren't we taking to the streets? Why aren't we burning tires and chase down police officers with sticks? Why aren't we screaming at the top of our lungs over how bad our government is butt fucking us?

Because we're pussies.

We would rather sit in our overpriced houses, watch over expensive Blu-Ray DVDs, eat large quantities of unhealthy fast food, and cry ourselves to sleep. We make excuses like, "I can't make a difference." and "The government's too big for a person like me to change." and "What can I do? I'm just a big fat cum stain."

What a bunch of horseshit.

We've become a nation of pussies. We worry more about men fucking other men and our stupid fucking gun laws, than we do about the Wall Street cunts stealing our money.

That's why I'm glad our economy is failing. That's why I'm excited to turn on the news and see some crazy asshole kill a bunch of random people. That's why I'm happy to hear about bridges collapsing during rush hour traffic. That's why my dick gets hard when I read about governors cutting education funding because they want to prove some kind of point.

I'm glad our country is falling into chaos because you lazy, cock sucking assholes deserve it.

You're the ones who elected Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. You're the ones who are responsible for the deregulation that has gone on on Wall Street since the 1980's. You're the reason why future generations will be forced to suck some white guy's dick for five dollars.

So I can't wait until you walk in on your little Suzie getting jizzed on by a pack of middle-aged Wall Street executives so she can put food on your goddamn table since you lost your job due to outsourcing - you fucking piece of shit...you deserve it.
