I am sooooooo sick of hearing them called "the Bush tax cuts" when talking about the current unfathomable divide over the 'tax cuts' that are about to expire, raising taxes on everyone, and not just the darn 'rich' people. I sure have no idea where people who are talking about small business owners, who file their business taxes along with their personal taxes and claim more than $250,000 per year income, are 'rich' because after those pesky business expenses, I have known folks with less than $30,000 to support a family of five. So, they aren't 'rich' by any means, and have to budget just like all the rest of us 'not rich' people. But I will wager than even the Sean Hannity's of the world budget...it's too much a part of their DNA, or they wouldn't BE rich.
Have you ever worked for a poor person? I haven't, and I have had a number of well paying jobs, many with a lot of cache', too, but none of them were for poor folks. There seems to be this disconnect about what rich people do for this country. Well, lets look at a few things:
they employ gardeners who then might have a year-round job, either taking care of their yard, snow removal, pool maintenance, etc. They buy new cars on a regular basis, employing auto workers. If they really have the "big bucks", they might buy a jet and/or a yacht, allowing hundreds of artisans and other workers to keep working. Not to mention bodyguards, teachers in private schools, who, by the way, are paid considerably less than teachers in the public schools, who have to keep the Union big shots living in luxury. Think I'm wrong? Look it up, the information is readily available.
And, by the way, what is it with the language that the Left alters for their use? Lately, when talking about the Obama Tax Increases, they always say that the taxes will only go up for " Millionaires", but since when is $250,000 considered a million bucks? I mean, I know that those on the Left have iffy math and economic skills, but if they live in NYC, or Jersey, or San Diego, or any of a hundred other big cities, they know from personal experience that if someone makes $250,000 dollars a year, and is at least a couple, or worse, a family, it will take them a very long time, (like a hundred years), to ever collect a million dollars in their accounts. But yet the Left, the Progressives, just constantly say "Millionaires", and they say it like it's a bad word! Come on, folks! Don't you want to be a millionaire someday? I'd like it, but the only way it could ever happen is if one of us won the Powerball or something. And since we rarely even play, that would be something! LOL And I'm just as frustrated when these people, like Nancy Pelosi,make plum ignorant statements! Right before she called for a vote to extend the Tax Cuts permanently, but only for the Middle Class, knowing full well that it had zero chance of passing the Senate. She did it only so that they would have the chance, one last time, to try to demonize the Republicans by saying"See, the Republicans only care about their rich friends and Corporations! See! See?" Boy will I be glad when I don't have to look at that wax figurine! At least, not as often, and at least knowing that she got slapped pretty well at the last election. And will someone please get the woman a decent make-up artist?
Come on, people! Look this stuff up, on the Internet, or in the Library. I am telling you the truth! It's time to reward excellence in this Country again. It's a good thing to produce or package, or sell something wanted by a segment of the population, or hopefully, a lot of segments of the worldwide population. These are the people who generate jobs! Make all of the tax cuts permanent. Maybe then, our economy can begin to recover.
