Redistribution
posted in General |Taxation is at the heart of the BamBam/McCain campaigns. It comes down to individual freedom versus share the wealth. More precisely it comes down to robbing Peter to pay Paul. The Dems are clever word-smiths in addressing their plan of action. They prefer, “fairness”, “equity”, “care for your fellow man”,etc, etc. There is only one term that makes them gag – redistribution of income. They detest even mentioning that phrase and you will rarely hear any of them even saying the word, re-distribution — even though that is exactly what they mean. They excoriate the “rich” and routinely condemn those who are successful. Is taking money from one group and giving to another group fairness or is a form of theft with government support. It isn’t enough that we have progressive taxation and that 40% of citizens pay ZERO income tax. The tax structure is progressive only to those who pay any taxes at all, and the heaviest burden falls on the upper income levels. And that is bad??
No, the Democrats find no fault with progressive taxation. That just gives them a target for further confiscation of income to distribute as they see fit. But you will never hear them call it what it is. In talking to the so called middle class, just ask them if they think it is fair to take money you earned and give it to someone who didn’t earn it and then call it “fair”. Why work when you can get it for free?
Redistribution of income. See how often BamBam uses that term to justify his eco policies. Be sure to get a comfortable chair.
