Well, apparently the Democrats want to soak the rich and raise taxes. They say that everyone should pay their fair share. They say that anyone who doesn't think they should pay their fair share has no empathy and is a greedy no good person. Well, isn't it convenient to call people names? I thought we were over that, I thought we agreed as a nation to be politically correct, and not pick on any minority group. Now the 99% wishes to pick on the 1%, and by definition 1% would be a minority wouldn't it?
Not long ago, I was talking to a rather wealthy person, and he said he wasn't too concerned with paying his fair share. But he didn't think it was fair that he had to pay a higher percentage rate than everyone else, especially because he takes very little if any services from the government, he just doesn't need them. He also said that since the government is spending over $1 trillion per year more than it takes-in in taxes, that he really didn't trust the government with more money.
He felt as if they should get their spending in line first, become more efficient, stop wasting all the money, and then if they still couldn't run the government, then it would be fair to raise taxes, but again, not just on him, but everyone. He thinks that everyone should pay their fair share, and the same percentage rate. His logic is infallible, and it even goes with the left-leaning thinking and is politically correct. Let me explain that point in case you missed it.
If we truly want to be fair this country and have true equality, we need equal treatment regardless of who you are, what religion you are, what race you are, what age you are, or how much you make from your hard work and earnings. After talking to him, I felt as if he'd gotten a bum rap along with all the other wealthy 1% people because he didn't seem greedy at all. What he was saying was totally correct, he didn't make any misstatements, try to misguide me in any way, or fill me full of socialist left-leaning populist BS. He just told me how it was, and I respected that.
Indeed, I'm not so sure I respect the other side of the argument now considering all their political rhetoric, demands for more money, and the inability to stop spending like drunken sailors (no offense to drunken sailors). Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it. My name is Lance and I thank you for listening.
