rin-ring in your ears

I didn’t cause this fucking deficit, old people who got sick didn’t cause this deficit, hungry children whose homes were foreclosed on illegally didn’t cause this fucking crisis, your damned war profiteering did, tax cuts for the super rich did, corporate welfare did.

I didn’t wreck the economy, the fucking bankers did.

You know who fucked this up? The very, very rich people! The politicians who are OWNED by very, very rich people. You fucked this up, not me, so you need to go first on the “Let’s sacrifice” diving board, because I am not in any position to sacrifice and you, dear rich people, have ALL THE FUCKING MONEY.

In 2009, 1,470 households reported income of more than $1 million but paid no federal income tax on it, through their use of various tax loopholes and shelters. Tax rates for millionaires have fallen by 25 percent since the mid-’90s, while one quarter of millionaires currently pay lower tax rates than the average middle-class household.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) says “If you have the inconsistency then you’re not defending liberty.”[1] Paul has always been inconsistent. This inconsistency was noted by conservative commentator Mark Levin who says “Paul is poison. Hate America first crowd.”[2]

I fail to understand why so few people know about Occupy Wall Street. And I am outraged by the dismal amount of concern from those that do know. Peaceful protesters being denied the ability to march and being arrested and confined and wrestled to the ground. PEACEFUL protesters. But, people seem to be okay with this. »

Paul Ryan, Herman Cain Push For Tax Increases On Middle Class »

WASHINGTON — Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said on Sunday that House Republicans would oppose President Barack Obama’s payroll tax cuts for both employers and employees, arguing that the policy had already failed to provide a sufficient boost to the economy. “It hasn’t worked,” Ryan said, suggesting the current temporary tax cut should be allowed to expire, which will amount to a 50 percent tax hike on workers making less than $106,000 per year.

He also said he opposes the president’s proposal to require millionaires to pay the same tax rate as the middle class, known as the Buffett plan. “Class warfare might make for good politics, but it makes for rotten economics,” Ryan said. (Read More.)

Because tax hikes are only okay when they are on the middle class. Right. NOW I understand.

A 50% tax hike on ME!? Are you fucking kidding me? I actually put money into this goddamn economy, you take 50% more of my money and that’s games, electronics, and food I can’t buy! I’m not hiding my money in offshore accounts, I’m putting it into my local retailer! That’s a reduction in everything I waste my money on that keeps this economic system limping along.

They call the rich these illustrious job creators, but you know how most of them got rich? From shmucks like me buying their products and services. You raise my taxes by 50% and they will get 50% less of my business, and not from lack of enthusiasm for their products and services. When their businesses receive 50% less of my money then they cut back production, which in turn cuts jobs. You want to get this economy back on track? Give people like me more money to piss away, that’s how stimulus works! Shit, that’s how economics works!

And he has the fucking gall to say it’s class warfare?

FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!

Perhaps that is the biggest disconnect between liberals and conservatives…

A liberal believes that a good government can, will, and should take better care of them than a good corporation.

and it’s one of those disagreements where one side is not necessarily more correct. However I just feel there are more government entities, however flawed, that have my best interests at heart than private ones.
