Ways Liberals Transfer Wealth from Earners to Non-earnersPosted on 05/23/2010
The struggling poor and middle class hate and envy
rich people. Envy helps us rationalize that the government has a moral right to
take money from the rich and give it to the poor.
Higher taxes on the rich equalize wealth, maintaining
an egalitarian society. Egalitarianism is seen as a positive outcome that
apparently justifies the government’s criminal theft, making government the
champion, the romantic, social ideal Robin Hood, of the poor.
If they’re typically outraged by reports of injustice
committed by the rich, believing that the rich deserve government-sanctioned
theft helps the poor sleep at night.
It’s all justified by the poor until the poor get
rich. Then, the newly wealthy become the biggest hypocrites they'd ever imagined.
Then, they feel the pain and injustice of having their earnings stolen and given
to others. But until then, they’re happy to accept that the government doesn’t
hit them as hard with income taxes. Until they’re flush with cash, Liberals are happy
believing all sorts of horrible things about the wealthy.
Soaking the Rich
Posted on 05/23/2010
Don’t rich people all get rich
through fraud, deception, bribery, greed and hurting people and
the environment? Don’t the rich all get rich by stealing from
the poor by grossly underpaying them for their labor? Aren’t
people with more obligated to give more? Aren’t the rich all
selfish and immoral? Isn’t there morality suspect since they
don’t voluntarily help those in financial need? Shouldn’t they
be made to pay for their moral sins through higher taxation?
Don’t the rich already have more than they’ll ever need, and
isn’t need the criteria for distribution of things needed?
Don’t all rich people kick dogs and
eat endangered species for the thrill of being the last people
on earth to pick the meat out of their teeth? Don’t the blasé
disaffected rich all gamble on the lives of poor sick people who
have to sell their life insurance policies to subsist until they
die. Don’t the rich place bets on which celebrity will be the
next to die? Don’t they all buy other men’s souls, corrupt the
morality of innocent girls at wild, opulent parties, sacrifice
every virtue in their pursuit of more money, debauch all human
decency in their quest for ultimate power?
Don’t all rich put profits over
people’s welfare when there’s a clear choice? Don’t all rich and
powerful corporations underfund their pension plans and then
default through bankruptcy, leaving the responsibility to the
Federal Government to use taxpayer dollars to pay for the
retirement of the laid off employees? Don’t all CEOs take their
unethically huge compensation in failing companies before
dollars are applied to pension plans?
And don’t the rich have politicians
in their pocket, making us all hate politicians, who must bend
their principles to both tax some of the rich one day while
giving them breaks the next? But the beneficiaries of social
government-funded programs can’t hate the government that
supports them only because they can be influenced by money.
Indirectly, then, the rich force us to distrust the very same
government that supports the poor and for making the poor
collusive in the whole sick game of pandering to obtain the
poor’s vote.
Isn’t it a documented fact that all
rich people are and do these horrible things? Can’t the few
scandals involving fraud by the rich be generalized to all rich
people?
So, then, isn’t it okay and justified
for every poor person to treat the rich as their saviors through
higher taxation? Haven’t the rich always been taxed, and since
it’s always been that way, doesn’t that make it right? Isn’t the
single criteria of wealth, whether measured through income,
property, or investment, all the justification needed by the
majority to treat the wealthy badly?
"Attacking the Conscience"
There will always remain people in the world whose mere pathetic existence will pull at our heart strings.
