For instance. Let’s say that I pull down 100K a year, while poor sap Joe down the street barely makes 25K.

My needs and Joe’s are about the same, which puts our actual expenses equal. The difference is, Joe has to spend every penny just to survive, while I can afford a few luxuries and to sock away a fair bit for retirement. The National Sales Tax hurts Joe quite a bit more than it hurts me, yet he works just as hard and earns less.

It only gets worse. The millionaires in this country have and get even more than I, and they don’t spend an even greater portion of that income. Their contribution under this plan would be proportionately less than the night-shift manager of Taco Bell – he spends 100% of his income, so he is 100% taxed. Meanwhile Millionaire Bill only spends 2% of his income – he is only 2% taxed.

Where did we get the idea that the fortunate citizens of the US are somehow less obligated to shoulder their portion of the burden?

Does Scribe smell the possible south end of a flying monkey troll-ing north?

Doesn’t matter. SCRIBE wouldn’t be so obviously anti-free speech to suggest tossing YOUR cookies overboard.

Most Liberal, or left, comments usually swim around the category of Fascism, not in any way a necessary synonym with Nazi. Of course, just like “Femi-Nazi,” or likening Al Gore to Nazis’, such comparisons abound on all sides.

To be honest? For the most part they do a great disservice to the historical account of the actual regime, further diluting the horrors visited upon humanity by that rather odd form of fascism.
