Beating the Horse
I have beat this dead horse alot. In fact I keep him in the garage in my freezer so I can pull him out and beat him again. But it is so necessary that I do it. It has to be heard in hopes that some of you will listen and learn.
Small businesses are what run America. Not all small business owners are millionaires. In fact most are not. But they are treated as if they are. They have to pay their employees, they have to pay for the goods that are needed for operation, they have to pay for insurance for employees and the business. They have to pay taxes. All of this is included in the cost of the product or service they provide.
Just add that extra tax on the small business. They make over $250,000 so they’re rich. They can absorb it and not lay off anybody or raise the prices on their goods or service. BULLSHIT! That’s not how business works, unless your a Socialist. Small businesses close when they can’t compete, and that’s what all of these taxes do to a small business. They can’t compete with the over seas businesses and they close.
When a government is bloated in such a way as ours is today, it has to gobble up as much money as it can. When it depletes the rich, it moves on… We under $250,000 will not see any taxes. Again, BULLSHIT! Cigarette taxes. Softdrink taxes. Yeah, that’s a new one coming. I guess only the rich drink softdrinks. There are more coming, but your not going to get taxed.
You, the ignorant… Cap and Trade does affect you. Remember I said a business doesn’t just take it in the shorts. It passes it down to the consumer. Businesses don’t pay taxes. The consumer does. If businesses payed taxes, there would be no business.
And if you think government businesses are a good thing, have you ever been to a VA hospital? How about an Indian (Native American) hospital? The DMV? Social Security office? What do you think about Freddie Mac or Fanny May? I’ve been to some of the above mentioned places. They are inefficient, and in a hospital inefficiency will kill you.
Let’s pretend… All of the rich have been taxed into oblivion. And if there are jobs left in the U.S., everyone makes the same wages. We all live in peace and harmony and there is no class envy. I’m in a good union that makes the government businesses pay everyone the same. I can do a half-assed job and make the same as the guy next to me doing all of my work. I have no incentive to do my best, because I don’t get paid for it. I love fairness.
