Bernie Sanders: Raise Taxes to 90%!

Bernie Sanders, Communist candidate for the Democrat Party, wants to tax "the rich" at 90%.

You go first, Bernie. Let's see you pay 90% of all your income into the government: your salary, your perks, your other income (like rental property), - ALL of it: 90% goes to the government.  Then convert all your assets like your multiple houses, yachts, etc. into cash and pay 90% of that to the government.  C'mon Bernie, show us the courage of your convictions.

Bernie's argument is: "It worked in the 1950's". OK, fine!  Let's go back to the 1950's.  Let's bring back ALL the things you love about the 50's.  Such things as:

• Racial segregation.  
• No women's lib: they cooked, cleaned, and raised the kids.
• Men ruled the household. What they said was law.
• Children were disciplined. They could get spanked by teachers, cops, anyone.
• Television didn't exist.
• No gun control: everyone could carry a weapon out in the open.
• A huge reduction in taxes.  At least 75% of the taxes that exist now didn't exist then.
• A huge reduction in regulations.  At least 75% of the regulations that exist now didn't exist then.
• No pollution regulations.
• No environmental regulations.
• No gays.
• No welfare.
• No government programs like food stamps.
• Everyone went into the military.
• Everyone went to church.
• Girls stayed home until they were married.
• Men had to prove their worth to the father before they could even date their daughters.  If they wanted to marry the daughter, they had to prove they had a good job, and they had to get permission from the father.
• No pre-marital sex.
• Many marriages were arranged.  The girls had no choice.
• Illegal aliens were rounded up and deported en masse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback

If the liberals want to bring back the 1950's taxation, then they can bring back ALL of the 50's.  I'm sure no liberals will complain.  Because it isn't just one thing that made the 50's work - it was a lot of things.  

If Bernie is unwilling to do that, then he can stuff it.

Why Politicians Aren't Stopping Taxmageddon

"Taxmageddon" will be upon us on January 1, 2013. That's when the Bush Tax Rates expire and tax levels will increase back to the Clinton era.

Here's a breakout of the tax implications for California alone: The average increase in taxes for a CA resident will be $3,525 per year, or an extra $294 per MONTH. 

More importantly, though, is the question: "Why aren't the politicians trying to stop this sudden and severe punishment on the American People who are already suffering from massive unemployment, bottom-scraping house values, rising food prices, skyrocketing gas prices, and ever-increasing sales taxes and other drains on their income?

Here's why:  The politicians are getting huge amounts of new revenue into their districts. Take a look at the chart at this link: http://www.heritage.org/multimedia/infographic/2012/taxmageddon/california

Each of the politicians is getting BILLIONS of dollars to their districts. And, for free!
Nancy Pelosi gets an additional $2.2 Billion.
Anna Eshoo gets an additional $2.7 Billion.
Henry Waxman gets an additional $3.8 Billion.

The politicians get all this free money for doing nothing!  They just sit back and wait. And the clock ticks forward to January 1, and they get an immediate $2.5 Billion increase in their coffers that they can spend as wastefully as they want!  Like on...oh I don't know....maybe a high-speed train that nobody wants?  So why should they try to stop it?  Would YOU stop a big raise in your paycheck?  Not likely. And neither will they.

(BTW: if you want to see the tax bite for your state, click on the links to the right on this page.)

When will this madness end?  When The People get mad enough to stop it. But I don't know when that's going to be, if at all. It's going to take a massive upheaval in America to stop this craziness. And I don't know when that's going to happen.

Obama's Admission of Guilt

Reading the transcript of Obama's "jobs" speech from last night, I came across a line that speak volumes about Obama:

Obama offered a payroll tax cut.  He said "...it will cut payroll taxes in half for every working American and every small business. It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence..."

In other words, OBAMA KNOWS THAT TAXES STIFLE BUSINESS GROWTH AND PREVENT THE HIRING OF EMPLOYEES.  What this means (for you libs who are unable to make the connection), is that when Obama proposes new taxes in the future (already for Obamacare, but also to "pay for" his $4 Trillion spending spree), HE DOES SO WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT IT WILL HURT BUSINESSES, SLOW THE ECONOMY, AND LEAD TO HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT.

That's an admission of guilt if I ever heard one.  He accidentally let slip that he's aware that new taxes will hurt businesses, but he doesn't care.

Based on that one line alone, the House should just throw out any bill that Obama sends to them and then demand that he find ways to cut taxes permanently by cutting government spending permanently.
