Clingin' 'n' Hoardin'
bitter stuff
Is the U.S. graduated income tax — a tax that ties both the amount of taxes paid and the rate of taxation to wealth — “socialistic,” as certain politicians have been arguing lately?
...maybe it’s because it’s a tax on income, which some think wealthy Americans — being more skilled at earning — have a higher moral right to hoard?
Since when does the hoarding of wealth by individuals, rather than jobs creation, do more to “grow the economy?”
...When you’re very rich, you can’t spend all your money, so it’s socked away, out of circulation. The rest of us just getting by, spend proportionately more of our money on necessities, small extravagances and entertainment. Putting money into the economy is what creates jobs and makes the economy grow.
Let’s not confuse “sharing the burden” with “sharing the wealth."
Is this twit kidding?! Does she actually think the eeeevil rich actually sit around on great bags of cash, like in the cartoons? What kind of life has she had that has not disabused her of this puerile notion?
Investments in stocks = “hoarding”. Investing in new equipment = “hoarding”. R&D = “hoarding”. Purchasing “frivolities” = “hoarding”.
C’mon - let’s “break free” of that antiquated Constitution and get those courts to re-distribute that “hoarded” wealth.
