The stupid is strong with some people

Especially our new Glorious Leader and his buddies who wimper and whine about taxing the rich.
Jesus H. Christ how stupid do you have to be to be a Democrat? Do they give IQ tests and only those on the lower levels are allowed to vote Democrat or be a Democrat?
I’m not fucking rich I’ll say that first. In no way does my family even resemble that word. But I do have the sense god gave a goat.
I don’t know anyone who has ever been given a job by a poor person and not every well to do person is a scumbag. Here’s a shocker… it’s the rich who own the companies and businesses that everyone else works for. Ain’t that a kick in the head?
I used to work for a man who owned a donut shop. He wasn’t wealthy rich. He’d saved and worked hard and he bought a business. He didn’t buy anything that he couldn’t pay cash for. If he couldn’t pay for it he didn’t buy it. (That’s a shocking concept for some I know.) He was raising his kids on his own. He bought the business for his kids. He no longer actually owns the business. I believe he passed it on to his kids.. but work with me here….
Now along comes the Glorious Leader. He lies and says he’s not going to raise taxes on people like this man. Oh they try to bullshit and we’re supposed to believe it but that’s what always happens. Because in their eyes this man is rich. He doesn’t have a huge staff and they’re not paid exorbitant wages but hey it pays the bills, right? Now his taxes are raised. What’s gonna happen? Think about it. He’ll try for awhile to cut costs where he can. He might even risk angering his customers by raising prices. But eventually someone is going to lose their job. Someone who is not rich.
Rich people own businesses. They employ the rest of us slobs. Now if their taxes are raised who is going to pay for it. It’s going to be their employees.
So tell me again how raising taxes on the rich is going to help the poor?

I’d be all for it if George Soros and all the very rich government jerks, including the pres., were taxed heavily first.

Spot on dear lady. I never went to the bar and had the town drunk hire me in any capacity, neither did I get a cent of employment from all those drawing their welfare checks while I moonlighted to put myself through school, nobody carried me and my family food when I was in that school either, you see, as a fully employed student I didn’t qualify for any aid. It is the Democratic version of compassion. I survived because of entrepeneurs hiring me part time or because I took on jobs nobody would do.
From 1978 to 2003 I paid through the nose on 27 acres of arable land and 3 acres of land carrying water, yes 30 acres to be taxed and assessed by the irrigation district, the department of environment, the county, the state and the local school district. That 3 acres was taxed as viable land even though the irrigation district was granted the right of way. Due to all the excess burdens and the scope of the sanctuary mexican population I put that piece of dirt on the market in 1999 to get out from under the burden. Any desires to retire there and farm vanished. NAFTA killed all prospects of competing with Mexican crops, the other two major crops were Hops and Grapes and like the rest of the nation the hop and grapegrowers had a cartel and you had to have a contract to grow those crops. Apples, dead, peaches, dead, pears, dead, cheaper to get them from New Zealand, Chile or Argentina. No crops and no prospect of a viable crop, nobody would or could lease it for farming, banks are not loaning on crops they know will never show a profit . Taxes and assessments went up every year until it was costing me more than my income from working outside. I took my life savings and paid it off to reduce the interest burden and clear the title for it’s sale, after 5 years it sold to a Mexican Farmer with a Department of Agriculture loan for hispanics, at $20,000 less than I had into the place. Yet because I was a landowner I paid not only into the farm but into my own county for my home 200 miles away, this state is controlled in it’s entirety by Democrats. They don’t ever cut taxes, they shift them. Taxed off my land and my retirement. Could I get a Department of Agriculture loan? Hell no, I’m not a wetback. Could I get a reduction in taxes due to losses from NAFTA? Hell no I’m an American. Would the government back off on regulations so the small farmer can survive? No Way, Farming pollutes the ground, the water and the air plus we use hydrocarbons to fuel the tractors and trucks used unlike those farmers in Canada, Columbia, Mexico, China, Honduras, Chile and Brazil. Today there are dead vinyards, orchards and prime farmland, abandoned due to taxes and an unfriendly environment.
Like any one who has to pay more than they earn for something that their neighbor values more than it is worth, then by God let them have it. That is the price of homeownership!!! We don’t get Federal loans for paying our bills Elizabeth.
“Rich people own businesses. They employ the rest of us slobs. Now if their taxes are raised who is going to pay for it. It’s going to be their employees.” Well stated!!!
Not just rich people, it’s hard working investors too with the dream of success.
