The Moocher State and the Myth of Shared Sacrifice and Fair Share
President Obama, the Divider-in-Chief, is in full campaign mode, traveling around the country, giving speeches in front of crumbling bridges and practicing his class warfare mantra for campaign 2012. His only hope is to distract the public from his dismal economic record and divide and conquer the electorate along economic lines.
Obama needs to motivate the members of the MOOCHER STATE, the 46% of the people who do not pay taxes. He will continue to demonize the "rich" by claiming they do not pay their "fair share" of taxes and, therefore, need to "sacrifice" more. They are the lucky, fortunate ones who somehow won the lottery of life.
Dear Mr. President, give me a break. To use your words -- do the math:
The Top 1% of taxpayers pay 38% of all income taxes.
The Top 10% of taxpayers pay 70% of all income taxes.
The bottom 46% of taxpayers pay NO income taxes.
Where is the "fairness"?
For once, I agree with the President, but only part of the way. But he did not complete the mathematical, social equation. The people who need to sacrifice more and pay a "fair share" are the 46% of the taxpayers who get a free ride. What no one wants to talk about is that these members of the Moocher State also receive the vast majority of the government benefits they do no pay for....benefits like medicaid, food stamps, free lunch programs etc. They not only get a free ride on taxes but they also are the beneficiary of the largesse of the Moocher State politicians.
So let's do the math, Mr. President, and stop getting hung up on Warren Buffett's phoney argument about tax rates. The bottom line is that the rich do more than their fair share and get little in return for their "investment". The members of the Moocher State are getting a free pass and getting plenty for nothing (and their kicks for free).
The only math the President is doing is counting the votes He knows that the moochers outnumber the rich people by millions so he is practicing class warfare on the hard-working people who are now rich. What the president knows, but won't admit, is that when you tax a rich person more, a poor person will lose his job somewhere.
Pay up, you idle rich, fortunate taxpayers. The moochers need more money.
