Tax Cuts For The Poor!

A.K.A. "pennies from heaven!"

If you live in a dirt hut on a dirt road with a dirt floor and eat dirt, you are poor.

If you live in an air-conditioned apartment where more than one person sleeps in the same room, and you have electricity, running hot AND cold water, windows, a dry roof, a finished floor, a paved street, a car of your own, a cellular phone for all the adults and half the children, a bigscreen color television hooked up to cable, high speed internet on your own personal computer, a dishwasher, a clothes washer and dryer, and a refrigerator AND cupboard full of food, you are NOT poor.

If you live in a million dollar mansion, well, you're not poor either.

To the man living on $300/year, your $30,000 puts you in the lap of luxury, and he might argue that you don't NEED to have that cell phone or computer, and it's not FAAAAAIIR that you get to have these luxuries, when he doesn't.

To the man living on $30,000/yr, your $3,000,000 puts you in the lap of luxury, and he might argue that you don't NEED to have that Prada watch and new Lamborghini, next to the year-old Porsche. It's not FAAAAIIR that you get to have these luxuries and he doesn't.

So, in the interest of ECONOMIC FAIRNESS we are going to take $20,000 from your $30,000 annual salary and give it to the people making $300 per year.

That, after all, would be FAIR.

And if you agree with that statement, you are a frikken commie rat socialist bastard and you'd better get a law passed because I can't fight off the entire US Government by myself.

Of course, the street thug who thinks it's not FAAAAAIIR that he doesn't have my cash and credit card, I can shoot one at a time with the gun that it's also not FAAAAAIIR that I have on my person.

********

Note: this should not be construed as a threat against Barack Hussein Obama, who, after all, doesn't want to punish success, he just wants to spread the wealth around.
