Let's All Feel Sorry for the Rich...

                       "Don't tax you,

                         don't tax me,

             tax the man behind the tree."           

The author of the above quote has been lost to history.  But the sentiment behind it remains all too common, even today.  

I may be the only one, but I'm feeling kind of sorry for our really wealthy friends out there.  You know, the relatively few who start all the companies and hire all the workers and buy all the private jets and yachts and really big houses that somebody has to build and spread their money around so the rest of us can enjoy it.  

Those folks.

They're being demonized like never before by the Democrats who wish to take an ever-increasing chunk of their money (and their hide?).  To pay for their ever-more loopy little projects.  Little multi-$Trillion Dollar Projects.  Like "fixing" the weather.  

We already know from the Treasury Dept. that the Tippy Top One Percent of our society earns 29% of all our income while paying some 41% of all our income taxes.  That, BTW, is not a "fayah shayuh" according to multi-millionaire, 3 house-owning Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-NH) and multi-millionaire, 3 house-owning Joe O'Biden (POTUS...for awhile yet).  He thinks 110% would be "fayuh," I'm guessing.  So having to witness these Democrats arguing every day in Congress about which of your bones they're going to pick clean must seem like a hollow reward after all their striving and struggling, and finally winning.  Can't have that, now can we?  

"Democracy is two wolves and a sheep fighting over what to have for dinner."                               -  Benjamin Franklin

Regardless of how many companies you start and jobs you create and taxes you pay, or avoid paying, using Congress' own laws and rules, which they could change but they don't, it's never enough for these folks.  No matter how much you pay, the ideal arrangement according to these Democrats is to simply sign over your paycheck. And, oh yeah, the deed to your house. And your farm.  And your business.  'Cause they're gonna' get it with their confiscatory "Death Taxes" anyway.  

I bring your attention to the most recent tax-grab legislation the House just passed.  A day or two ago.  Good ol' Joe said no tax increase for those earning less than $400 Grand a year.  The Congressional Budget Office just scored the Bill at costing everyone earning over $50,000 a year a tax increase, while handing a tax decrease of $47 Billion Dollars to our Wealthiest Few!

I thought highway robbery was illegal!

I dunno' about you, but if I were uber-rich I'd be checking out the real estate in Costa Rica and Belize and Panama and anywhere else they speak English and value freedom.  Like we used to...

Here's my prescription to avoid all this nonsense.  Quit work.  Buy a six-pack of Colt-45 Malt Liquor, go home, sit on the couch and wait for the next check from the Gubmint.  And the food stamps.  And Aid to Families With Dependent Children.  Even if you don't have any children.  And Supplemental Rental Assistance.  And Who The Hell Knows What Else?  For it will come.  As long as the Democrats are in charge...it will come.

God help us...it will come...  

The Democrats get voted out?  Go back to work.  Start remembering that whole "Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness," thing.  Start generating wealth for yourself, for your family...and unfortunately, for every commie pinko dumbass Liberal weenie Tax Grab Expert in Congress.  Who will conjure up new and inventive ways to separate us from our money.  Have I about got it?  

Ahhhhh yes, Chuckmeister, I believe you've got it!
