Absolutely, and yet you have countless zombies in the middle class and often below who bleat like sheep "Cut taxes, taxes are socialism/communism". The same group of imbeciles who nearly burst a blood vessel when some suggested returning the top marginal rate to 39% from 35% for top earners. The complete nonsense coming out from the 'Joe the Plumber' fiasco was a perfect example of this unthinking repitition of propaganda. Perhaps more importantly to me is uncapping the limit for social security contribution, setting Capital Gains at pre-1980 levels, and outlawing tax haven practices offshore. Eliminate corporate welfare as well. Implement a sliding corporate tax rate for the % of workers in the USA. 100% workers = minimal corporate tax rate, 0% workers = 75% taxation. The funny thing is that a more intelligent tax code could actually lower taxes on 85% or more of the population, even those who rabid right-wing types like to claim 'pay no taxes'. Blatant BS. People pay taxes on everything, even their income via SS. I'm not giving the 'left' a free pass either, as the so-called 'Affordable Care Act' is really just more enforced corporate welfare that funnels more money by force of law into the vampiric business interests that create the most expensive health care system on earth, but far from the best health results. It's a damned mess. I don't like any of the candidates. I'm so tired of trying to choose the best of bad options. 300 million fucking people and we constantly have buttholes making the final cut. It's so senseless. |
John Oliver did a great segment of the wealth gap which explains in part why the average joe supports these tax cuts for the super rich. It all has to do with the thought that someday they could become millionaires too and when that day comes they want to be able to benefit from those tax cuts.
