Dear Friends,
It seems to me that a person who has never done a days work in his life, did nothing but complain about how good some have it, while never producing for himself, his family or society, only complaining and griping about those that produce for him and his family, when the reality is, that he was and is, too lazy to produce, becomes rich at the public trough, that person is a hypocrite. Useless to himself, his family and especially society the hypocrite continues to whine that a producer might be able to leave his heirs his amassed wealth while the hypocrite has no intention of paying any tax on his amassed wealth no matter the immoral nature of the hypocrite’s amassed wealth.
We are of course talking about the inheritance tax. The tax that will effect the entrepreneur, the farmer, the collector, and the businessman but not the rich. Make no mistake, those that argue that the “rich” should be punished have a different idea of who the “rich” are. No matter their personal fortune they are never “rich” and will never come under the provisions of the inheritance tax.
Do you honestly think Nancy Pelosi ‘s heirs will pay any inheritance tax? Of course not. That’s foolishness. She will, has or knows, of a loophole for her and her friends. Don’t worry about the billionaire Nancy Pelosi, she will have an exception just like in the Healthcare Law, that a part of has been recently declared unconstitutional.
Really, do you really think that someone like Bernie Sanders heirs will ever pay a penny of inheritance tax? No matter his accumulated wealth. To set the record straight, he did work half a day, one time, painting Bailey Spring and Glass in Barre, but he threw down his paintbrush and exclaimed, “This is intolerable!” And went back on welfare. Since he was elected to office he has been a mayor and a house representative now is a Senator and is worth millions. Remember what President Truman said, “Anyone who gets rich at politics is a God Damned crook.“ Yet Bernie Sanders begrudges those that produced a good for humanity their wealth.
Like Bill Gates. No matter your personal opinion of the man you have to admit, that had he not sold Dos to the IBM clone producers, the computer age may never have taken off, at least not as quickly. Bill Gates is the Henry Ford of our time. No matter your personal opinion of Henry Ford…
Those men improved the lot of Mankind and by doing so they became rich. How they use the money is their choice not Bernie Sanders who has produced nothing but a string of complaints, yet he will never pay the taxes someone who produces and makes the money, Bernie does, will.
Morality aside, money is better in the purse of the public than in the public purse. The individual will spend his or her money much more efficiently than any government no matter how benign and enlightened. Even if a person or two simply burned the money to light cigars the money will have been put to a more productive use than government would. Money burned to light a cigar is taken out of circulation slightly raising the value of every other dollar and putting money in your pocket… not taking it out.
The hard truth is, that the inheritance tax and any other ruse, to make one group hate another, is a form of Fascism. That is the nature of Fascism, to group people, make them hate each other, then use the out of control hate to wield people like swords. Chopping your way to total power. Pitting society against a group, no matter the definition of that group, by race, economic status, religion, handicap, sexual orientation, or any other way, to do so is evil and wrong.
So we have pointed out the utter hypocrisy of those that call for the inheritance tax, the pernicious effect on the economy of more government spending on the economy and the self serving nature of the argument, but it feels so good to hate the rich, even though the people who are urging us to hate the rich are themselves rich, and mostly do not deserve their wealth, and moreover that the very tactic they are using is evil and wrong…
