Is nothing more than a psychological ploy used by these politicians to pander to the lower class who ENVY what the rich has. The not so cleverly hidden principle here is the Robin Hood Principle Steal from the rich (via the IRS) and promise to give it to the poor in return for their VOTES. The truth is that the upper income earners in this country pay about 75 percent of all the revenue taken in by the federal government. The TRICK these dems used during the last round of TAX REFUNDS (the money actually belongs to those who earn it NOT the government was to sweep the concept of PERCENTAGES under the rug and steered the focus on the end dollar amounts. For instance the upper income earners received about a 3% refund of their monies while the lower income earners received a ten percent. What they did was compare the dollar amounts and JUST LIKE A SPOILED little child got every one ranting because Johnny "appeared" to get more marbles than Sammy per sae. Lets use a standard measure of 100,000 in income tax (not income) that was perhaps paid by a "rich person" three percent of that is $3000 THEIR REFUND...while 10 PERCENT of say $3000 the average amount most lower income earners pay is $300. They compared the $3000 to $300 and got exactly the response they wanted. Then we will simply forget the many in the lower brackets pay ABSOLUTELY zero taxes and they still received their REBATES (OTHER PEOPLES MONIES)...Can someone please tell me what is UN FAIR about this? Other than the envious want what someone else has...yet those who live in envy of the rich will not, and do not make the proper life choices or sacrifices to themselves become wealthy...so they want mommy and daddy to reach into other peoples pockets and pass the results of their hard work to others who won't and don't. Welcome to socialism 101. And finally if these dolts are ever successful in breaking the back of corporate America and limiting the amount of wealth one can acquire...guess what happens? Yep JOBS JOBS JOBS go out the door and those low income earners who envied the rich will themselves BE OUT OF WORK....Then who ya gonna blame?
