Rich America

For all of you in the middle and working classes, you may already realize that many in the wealthy class are involved in a plan to bankrupt this country. Most of this plan involves their refusal to pay their fair share of taxes, which has caused the national debt to skyrocket. So many people seem to be willing to sell out the future of others for generations just so they can have lower taxes for the present.
The primary tool of this plan to ruin this country is the Republican Party. While the Democrats have had plans to help improve the economy, reduce unemployment, reduce the deficit, manage government spending, enact national health care reform and introduce other reforms, the Republican agenda seems to be to destroy whatever the Democrats are trying to accomplish at the time. The Republicans have become better known for what they are against than what they support. Their legislative goals are anti-union, anti-working class, anti-immigrant, anti-foreigner, anti-minority, anti-women, anti-children and anti-anyone else who would disagree with them on any issue. They are almost like a hate group.
There are many groups who do support the Republicans, including the rich, the gun nuts, the right-wing religious fanatics, reactionaries and anyone else they can fool into supporting them. But Republicans really only care about serving the rich. They favor a government for the rich, by the rich and of the rich. (Lincoln’s words with a few changes.) The power of money to influence elections may prove that the Republicans don’t really need to have many constituents except for the wealthy and a few others.
Even though many of the wealthy of this country are getting some of the best tax breaks they’ve ever gotten, they aren’t necessarily investing in the future of this country. Much of their money goes overseas to the banks of China and Japan, investment in oil-producing countries, and investments in moving American jobs out of the country to be replaced by cheap, third-world labor.
Now, I wouldn’t say that all rich people are bad. Sure, there are many like Bill Gates, who do give to others. However, there are just too many ones like Bernard Madoff, who are obsessed with greed. It’s not enough for people like him to have one or two million. No, they must have 10 or 50 million or billions or however much they can take. Nobody ever becomes rich without exploiting others.
The rich don’t have to be bad people. In fact, only the rich can save this country if they are forced. There are only two of them for every 98 of us, so we can force them to pay more than their fair share of taxes. After all, no one really needs any more than 4 or 5 million dollars, so we can tax the hell out of those who have more than that. Then we can use the extra revenue to help reduce the national debt, pay for health care, build better schools, repair our infrastructure, invest in Social Security, and help to build a better future for all. Vote for those who will enact this change and make the rich save America.
