Yah know, I could write pages and pages about the following subject and how America has been thrown to the wolves. Instead, let me take a simple example and explain my view. You are welcome to your view, but lets look at Obamas assertion.

A recent news item said the followingf:

President Obama opened up a new line of attack Saturday against Mitt Romney, accusing his Republican presidential rival of retreating to policies from the “last century” and “sticking it” to the middle class.

OK, lets look at the retoric. What does he mean “IT”? Why the cost of gevernment and all the giveaways the government makes. The government takes money from people that have it, wastes losts and gives money to people who need it. It would be silly to give it to people who don’t need it, especially when they took it at gunpoint. Oh, refuse to pay taxes and they come take your house and it you refuse, the Federal Marshalls take you.

So the phrase “stick it” I assume means that the Dems don’t want the “MIDDLE CLASS” to pay as much as they do. It seems that this is the COUNTRYs debt, not that of a particular CLASS of people.

So, if the poor have no money to pay and we need to cut back on what the middle class pays, then the upper class must bear the brunt. I guess it can be described as “those who can afford to pay, must”.

It is not like there is a giant group of “upper class”, so they must be taxed at an ever greater rate. It used to be 95% of excess profits. How fair is that? I submit that “fair tax” would be equal tax.

So if you are a Democrat and you want to try to “stick it” to someone, you push for the one group who is probably not going to vote for you anyway, the upper class. If you have the poor and a good portion of the middle class, why not make the middle class happy with you and try to have them pay less than equal?

The Democrats are also big on Unions, but union members do not automatically vote Democratic. Could it be that they make lots of money and thus are NOT middle class?

I think this class warfare is just wrong.

I was glad when government funding for Public TV and Radio was reduced. I enjoy those entertainmant forms but should not be forced to pay for them. If enough people don’t want to support them, then they don’t need to exist by force.

I also am not thrilled with government sponsored art.

I am glad that Ham Radio licenses are now almost free, because that is what it cost to administer them. I was mad that I had to pay a fee higher than cost, just because I was subsidizing someone else.

I am tired of people telling me that I have to pay more in taxes because they have not found a way to reduce their spending and give-aways.

I still propose that a national sales/use tax would help do away with the majority of the IRS, IRS attorneys, billions of hours spent each year doing taxes, mailing and printing costs and so on. If someone is at a poverty level then they have a photo ID showing they are exempt from taxes. Everyone else pays the same percentage. Everyone else shares the load.

If everyone shared an equal amount in taxes (rather than shifting the load to a small number of people), what would happen? There would be a lot more people complaining when our government wants to raise more money. There would be lots more oversight if you, as a member of the middle class, had the governments hand deep inside your pocket (moreso than now).

I know that some of you would like to reply with why I am all wrong. I don’t care, thank you. You will not change my mind and perhaps you have your own blog where you can expound your own view of the world. This is mine
