You do understand that the left only talks about the rich for show. They know they have to tax the middle class, because there isn't enough money by just going after the rich. The good news for them though is that the majority of the populist only looks at things on the surface. That's why the press release for the program was weeknight news, and the details on how to pay for it were released Saturday night on a holiday weekend.
Now I agree with you here. Given that 1 % of the world population will still control 50 % of all wealth, the idea that "there isn't enough money" isn't accurate. It is that the tax percentage would be so eye-popping that most who only look at the surface would have no stomach for it.
Still one man one vote. However it will take a serious event to change people's mindset. We're too materialistic, and as a society vote that way too.
DC is filled with university types and the piles of money horded at universities can buy political clout.
I really try to stay away from the political stuff.... but the idea of a liberal taking offense to being treated with condescension and arrogance is just too rich for me to pass up!! The left has made an art form of condescending, patronizing behavior and the arrogance the entire nation has been subjected to the last 6 years has been insufferable... it's nice to see a liberal get a dose of it themselves every once in a while...
Does that mean you're excited when Obama says we are going to commit 200 million dollars to whatever problem comes up, or does it make your skin crawl because, where the **** is that money coming from?
Ha! Guilty as charged.... political run ins led to me self banning from VN... one too many rows with a certain mod...
