End Tax Subsidies For The Very Rich





...in the beginning,only rich white male homeowners paid taxes because they were considered the only true source of revenue.When they lived in a country great enough to call itself the land of opportunity the rich accepted these taxes because there were very few places on earth where they could have made these riches and still lived free.


During The Civil War the wealthy were again called to the help their country.Ditto,The next few big wars including WWI & WWII.


Today's very rich are not so patriotic.In our longest most expensive war they don't mind not only being war profiteers,but also having the lowest tax rate in their bracket in over 100(!) years.


...this is due to the Bush Tax Cuts,or to be more precise:Tax Subsidies:government support to the rich so they can survive.


This comes from the mouths of the very people whom are receiving these subsidies.They claim getting rid of this subsidy would hurt them and our country.


Calling them Tax Cuts  instead of a subsidies does not make this rose smell any better.CEO's and their ilk are robbing their compamies of their wealth with hugh bonues and are paying themselves up to 500 times more their average employee's wages;corporate welfare(we've all heard about the five hundred dollar hammers)..corporate  tax havens in Wyoming and the Bahamas...etc,etc,and so forth.


Just how much wealth are the wealthy TAKING away from the tit of The United States Of America,anyway?!?


If these self-same corporate heros are going to tell the rest of us that we are all going to have to bite the bullet and wean ourselves off of governmental based services-basic stuff like schools,protection,food and medicine-they should-at least-put their money where their mouth is and lead by example.They should be taking the silver spoon out of their own mouths and stop feeding off the government and make this a true free market country.


Of course,this will happen when Hell freezes over.


But,perhaps,the sense of entitlement via the governmental tit is not the most apropos analogy.
What is that big business saying...."it's not what you know,,,,it's who you blow."


Nuff Said.
