Quote from achilles28:
Sure, but some northern European countries are nearer to Communism then they are to Socialism. Effective tax rates in Denmark, Norway, Sweden are well over 60%. Some cases 70%. That's retarded. I would never live there.
Comparatively, US top bracket is well above 50%, in some states. That's local, state, federal plus sales, property and gas tax.
At what point do we axe the bureaucrats and tit-suckers and return to a fair economy where every person earns their keep?
Achilles.
The problem is:
The teet leeches vote. And the bureaucrats control the levers of power.
The Haves (productive) let the non-Haves(anyone on govt cheese) get away with murder.
What we have is personal and corporate welfare. Fuck Bank of America. And fuck 5th generation welfare recipients. And fuck illegal alien demanding not only in state tuition rates but govt loans too.
But I(us) allowed it by not cutting these roaches off at the pass and challenging them when they began their push.
Now?
Now it's too late. Romney is going to solve this? Perry? A "republican congress" hahahaha
General Electric and Mr Immelt? hahahaha
La Raza? ay carumba!
CAIR? Not unless you pray to the East.
The Genie isnt going back into the lamp. We are past the point of no return and this all has to play out. Probably in civil/world War.
Only a citizen(s) of the true Republic can solve this. But now the State has been empowered by those taking the cheese to ALREADY try and take 50% of my keep through: sales, property, gas, utilities, city, county, state, federal, and death taxes.
I have to employ "criminal" means to keep my property. Of course it is the same methodology the bureaucrats use to keep theirs but that is incidental since they have the moral high ground because they're helping the "poor" "children" "environment" "the global village"
And Im a immoral capitalist. A "greedy" bastard.
So the next time Mr Ill-liberal opines rather loudly at the coffee shop in the middle of the day (ie he's unemployed) as he works on his anti-accountable blog and thinks he's being creative artist ask that cockroach IF he had a job what percentage of his money he should be "entitled" to keep? He wont answer.
The time for not making waves is over.
And lest anyone think Im a Fox news supporter, the next time Hannity says "Regan this or Regan that" remind him that Regan is DEAD and all the smelling salts in the world aint bringing him back. So stop defending indefensible wars and sometimes the ultimate bottom line is doing what is best for this nation(some tax) and not your bottom line. (offshore your profits, write off your losses)
Corruption may be why we win but too much of it will also be why we rot and collapse under the weight of our greed and apathy.
