To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Barack Obama launched several attacks on achievement yesterday, slamming John McCain's tax proposals. Obama absolutely cannot stand the idea of successful people being allowed to keep more of the money they earn. After all, as Obama would tell you, those people don't actually need that money, so it is perfectly OK for the government to seize that excess cash and use it for various vote-buying schemes.
Obama likes to say that nobody earning less than $250,000 a year would have their taxes increased under his plan. Well, isn't that special. I know that many of you really don't give a damn about those wicked people earning more than $250,000 a year. They're rich, to hell with them. Take their money and spend it on you, right? After all, they were just lucky, or they got that money by relying on their crooked lawyers and cheating ordinary working American. Oh, I can hear the moans in the Democrat coffee klatches now.
There are 23 million small business owners in America who file their business income taxes as an individual taxpayer. These small business owners employ people ... tens of millions of people. In fact, the small business owners of this country provide way more than 70% of the private sector jobs out there. When Obama talks about raising taxes on people who make more than $250,000 a year he's talking about raising taxes on the man or woman who writes your paycheck. Now ... would you care to spend a few of your precious minutes thinking about the logical consequences of raising taxes on your employer? Do you think they're just going to cut back on the money they take from their business operation? Oh yeah, sure they will. Now I know that you're government educated, but surely you can see that these people are going to adjust to their increased tax load by cutting back on business expenses. You don't expect them to cut their own pay, do you? Hey! It's their business! They started this thing, and they don't intend to see the lives they've built for themselves be diminished by some Democrats tax dreams so expenses get cut. Now --- guess what you are? There, that wasn't so hard, was it? You, my friend, are a business expense. Are you going to be the business expense that gets cut? Perhaps so ... and then what happens? The evil rich have now they have taken away YOUR job, and you hate them even more. Hint: It wasn't your job, it was theirs.. when it became a financial burden, they dumped it.
Any way you look at it, a winning formula for the Democrats --- a winning formula until, that is, American voters start to smarten up.
Thanks Mr. Boortz.
