Taxing the Rich

I am writing you concerning the letter by David Sowards, if we did as you propose, dated 02-21-12.

I don’t know where to start concerning your insane letter about how the government of the United States of America should tax the hell out of the rich. What? So your plan is to make the people that had the guts and faith to start a business and employ millions of people pay for too much government spending and debt. People that don’t have what it takes to do that, are not exploited, they are employed and paid. You see slavery is not legal in this country.

Industry and manufacturing is the only way to a brighter future for any country. Not everyone wants to be the boss and have all that debt and worry hanging over their heads day and night. So these people go to work and pay their bill with the money your party has so graciously allowed them to keep.

Did you know that you could take all the money from the rich, every dime and it would not even hardly dent our national debt? The flow of money is what keeps any company or country or household afloat.

If they did what you propose take away the incentive for people to make it big or rich as you say, nobody would take a chance and nobody would have a job. You see it is your kind of thinking that sinks every country and economy. We know! We’ll just take from the rich and give to the poor and we’ll have new roads and schools and everyone will wear pink or blue depending on their gender.

You are the very reason I could never side with people of your mindset. You have no idea how the world works, you have a simple fix for all our problems and no real ideas for growth. It’s getting pretty old you guys blaming the people that worked their butt off night and day 7-365. Obviously, you were never an employer and if you were how could you ever be successful when you think that success is evil?

I pray right now to God and Jesus that people wake up and understand companies are not the bad guy. You people want to take away freedom and that makes you the bad guys.

Let’s talk about uncle W.B. He’s so interested in giving his money to save our country. Bull. He has made a fortune bailing out companies and banks. He will triple his investment from one bank bailout. He loves this economy, he is raking in the spoils. He speaks out of both side of his mouth. Rich people should pay more and he would gladly match certain people’s donation and yet he is fighting our government right now over a billion in back taxes.

Republicans are not the problem, idiots and too much government spending and control are. So if the shoe fits.
