President Obama, today, gave a speech (See full text of speech here: http://projects.washingtonpost.com/obama-speeches/speech/336/) in which he claims “…we… have another responsibility: to offer emergency assistance to people who desperately need it, to Americans who've been laid off in this recession. We've got a responsibility to help them make ends meet and support their families…".
The question is do “WE” have such responsibilities? The answer is absolutely NOT!
“We the people” is a euphemism for "your taxes". We the people (your taxes) were never meant for helping someone else support their family; that’s THEIR job. My job is to support MY family, your job is to support your family! The governments “job” (in other words We the people’s taxes) is to provide for a secure atmosphere for commerce, trade and economic stability through sound fiscal policies, fair trade practices, between states and with other countries, and to provide a military capable of defending our interests, here and abroad so that we can support our families!
You may ask “but what of our “moral obligation to our fellow man?” my answer to that is “WE” (collectively) have no moral obligation to “OUR” fellow man; there is only “MY” (individual) obligation to “MY” neighbor!
You see, Mr. Obama’s premise is based on something called “collective salvation”
(http://www.capitalism.org/faq/collectivism.htm). He believes that there can be no “individual salvation” and therefore it is perfectly correct to force all of us (we the people) into his theology of collective salvation!
The Bible, I read, say’s to ME, feed the hungry. It does NOT demand that I give my money to Cesar and let him feed the hungry! You see, it’s not just about the hungry being fed, that can be done financially, which takes no real time commitment on my part, no, it’s ME caring enough to do the feeding, that is the work of actually getting out there and handing my brother a piece of bread! It’s about relationship one with another and relationships take time commitments. As Margaret Thatcher put it “the problem with socialism is that eventually, you run out of other people’s money!” True benevolence is most certainly not about forcing everyone to take care of everyone else through tax an spend social programs.
Ask yourself these questions:
1. How long should a person be able to collect a un-employment check?
Answer: until his benefits run out.
2. How long should his benefits last?
Answer: that depends on how long he has worked, and how much he has contributed to the pool of money (that the currently employed continue to contribute too) that makes up the unemployment benefits pool.
3. How much money is currently in that pool?
Answer: apparently ZERO or congress would not be voting to try and “extend” coverage.
4. Where do they draw the line? What about recent college graduates who’ve been unable to find their first job; do “WE” have an obligation to support them too? Of course NOT!
5. How long does Mr. Obama expect that WE should support the unemployed?
Answer: until his destructive policies have crippled our economy so that more of us are on un-employment than are not; at which point, obviously, the entire system comes crashing down under its own weight and the socialists who are supporting his agenda can step in to the ensuing power vacuum and rule as an oligarchy. It’s been done before; it’s what Hitler did to take power in Germany prior to WWII.

An Open Letter to Mr. Glenn Beck
Mr. Beck,
My wife and I watch your show, nearly, every night. Your Founders Fridays are a particular favorite for both of us.
Recently, we attended a series of evenings, with a group from our church, where videos were shown covering the topic of the Jewish Feasts and the Jewish Calendar. We thought the information, in those videos, to be important enough that we purchased them ourselves and have begun hosting our own get-togethers.
Last night, as you spoke about Black Liberation Theology/Philosophy, it occurred to me that, while your show is popular, you still have a limited audience that must, somehow, choose to tune in. An article I saw stated that your show averages 2.2 million viewers, and while that may put your show near the top of the Neilson ratings it still only represents less than 1% of the 300 million Americans who need this information!
I cannot tell you how disappointed I am when I go to work and try to explain what you’ve said the previous evening to a co-worker only to find that because of the “venue” ( being at work ) they do not wish to engage in any kind of “political or religious” talk at all. Often, if they do engage me in conversation, their response is something like “this doesn’t affect me” or “what difference could I make?” In my living room, over a cup of coffee or a beer, I could tell them exactly how they could make a difference. They could learn how their country is being slowly but surely stolen from them ( and as you know the pace has recently quickened ).
The socialist have, for decades now, used small groups to disseminate their message to the masses. As you’ve pointed out, they’ve gone so far as to infiltrate our schools and are now teaching their propaganda to our children using our own tax dollars!
You must have seen the myriad of publications available for Christian study groups, so what if you made each of your broadcasts available on DVD ( or streaming from the web ) categorized by topic; much like those publications. Small groups could form in every city in the country and meet once a week. Your show plays like a college lecture course ( a format I love by the way keep it up ). We literally could take your concept of Beck University and use it in a home study group format where we would invite our friends, family, co-workers and acquaintances to join us. I envision hundreds ( or who knows maybe thousands ) of groups in every city getting together once a week to spend one hour watching Beck University “content” and the next hour in discussion over that content. You could have “instructor guides” for a “leader” of such a small group to go over prior to the meeting to help keep the discussion on track etc..
Imagine Glen Beck University publications that take you through Marxist thought, Black Liberation Theology, Communist propaganda techniques, and systematic observations of how these things have been implemented by the left and most importantly, suggestions on how to fight back.
We need city councilmen, county government, school board members, teachers, State representatives and Federal representatives who have been taught what has happened to our towns, cities, states and our country. They need to know that WE THE PEOPLE stand behind them so they can make the tough choices which must ultimately be made.
You must admit, the left’s plan ( however slow to implement ) has been quite successful. It’s time for our side to adapt. We must educate our children so they will become the conservative leaders of tomorrow. This process must start in our homes.

Obama's Biggest Miscalcutation
What President Obama and the rest of his hate mongering clan of socialist dependents have done is to make the single largest miscalculation in the history of politics.
They believed that they could take a left wing, fringe, minority group of government cheese eating racists and somehow convince an ever increasing number of true “American Minorities” (those with the independant spirit of freedom) that somehow all of the progress the GREATEST nation on earth has made over the past 200 years, with regard to race relations, has all been for naught. They believe that by using the, now irrelevant, broadcast media they could convince the Mexican man who works for himself or the American Indian who was the third generation in his family to graduate college, or the Hmong women who now feeds her family from the profits of her own small business, or the African-American who now lives in a country that elected a black man simply because of the color of his skin opposed to the content of his character, that our country is ready to be dependent socialist zombies. The American people have spoken with a resounding NO! WE WILL NOT LIE DOWN AND DIE!
Independence is so ingrained in the American spirit that no enemy formed against it shall ever prevail. In November the counter revolution begins and in 2012 the victory will be complete! Unfortunately, the war will never be over. The forces of evil that propagate their dependency mindset under the mantra of “Social Justice” will not give up and neither can we liberty loving American Patriots.

Zero Tolerance! Remove the demand and the supply will diminish!
There is a very simple answer to this, quite, simple problem of illegal immigration.
First, let us define the problem.
11 million people ( likely many more ) are living and more importantly working in the US illegally. What does that mean “illegally”? It means they are NOT citizens of this country and have no rights that US citizens hold. Some come here completely legally using some sort of workers, student, or traveling visa; but they let their documentation laps and are now here illegally.
See: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5485917
This group is well known to the US authorities and yet they stay. According to the article linked above, this group could very well represent one half of the total problem! So the next time you here a liberal, communist, democrat lapdog broadcast nightly news anchor say “what do they expect us to do, round them all up and ship them back to where they came from?” SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE “YES, YES, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ECXPECT “THEM” TO DO!”
OK so we solved one halph of the illegal immigration problem in one paragraph, that’s American efficiency in action! What about the rest of the illegals, where do they come from? Well some, I’m sure, come in from our northern border but as you may well know, a much larger percentage come from our southern border. Of the 11 million illegal aliens living and working in the US, it’s estimated that 2 million of them live in California. Why do you suppose that is? Because that’s where the jobs “Americans won’t do” are.
See: http://rapidvisa.com/rapidvisa_blog/post/2010/02/09/How-Many-Illegal-Aliens-are-their-in-the-United-States.aspx
Now it just so happens that I live in the, once, great state of California. I’ve driven along the highway and seen entire fields flooded with workers, some of whom may very well be here legally, but I doubt they are a majority. I’ve driven down the back streets, you know the ones that run parallel to the railroad tracks and allow you to avoid all the stop lights on Main Street. There I’ve seen 20 or 30 men standing in groups waiting for the next, non-descript, white four wheel drive super cab to show up and take half of them away for the day. They don’t normally have to wait very long!
The problem is one of supply and demand! If we eliminate the demand, the supply will dry up!
It’s time to round up the illegals working in fields or standing along the railroad tracks! But it’s also time to start punishing those who hire them.
Now it’s not like this “illegal” work is being done in back alleys in dank warehouses with poor light and plenty of places to hide. The work is going on in an open field in broad daylight! A few, well trained, agents ( could be Sherriff, could be local police ) could stop along the side of any highway in my state with a couple of well-equipped greyhound buses, round up all those who have no legal documentation and send them back to where they came from. This alone would put a financial burden on their “employer”, but in addition to some jail time we should fine the employer an amount equal to 2 years of what their land can produce in terms of income; that’s on a first offense. On a second offense we should take their land and sell it on the open market. The “employers” would know full well, that IF they chose to hire “un-documented” workers, they would be in extreme jeopardy of being arrested and heavily fined.
It’s like this, be honest, today when you drove into work did you exceed the speed limit just a bit? Maybe you set your cruise control for 75mph in a 65mph zone? Sure you did! Why, because you could! You’ve likely heard it said that the police won’t stop you as long as you’re not going 10mph over the posted speed limit. Is that what our law says? NO! It says that if you are traveling even 1mph over the posted speed limit an officer can give you a ticket. But you regularly exceed the posted speed limit anyway because you know the “myth” is true! But what about those few weeks per year when you notice, on your way to work, three highway patrol cars, all working in concert to take down the speeders? Do you slow down during that week (and a few subsequent weeks just in case) of course you do! The affect would be the same if just a hand full of worksites were raided; the word would get out!
Zero tolerance! That is the answer to illegal immigration!
What about all those jobs “Americans won’t do”! I have news for you America, you are about to find out what you will and will not do to survive! If we continue on the path of destruction laid out for us by the liberals who’ve taken control of all aspects of the public sector, including the government, schools and even labor unions, you will be glad to have work of any kind, yes, even the kind that finds you bent over a row of vegetables, in the Central Valley sun in July, being paid by the bushel!

Taxes & the Gay Marriage Debate
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/tech/Google-to-Pay-More-for-Gay-Employees-97581254.html
A bay area website, today, posted an article stating that Google will, soon, begin paying its Gay and Lesbian employees at a higher rate than their straight counterparts. The raise is, apparently, to compensate for taxes that gay and lesbian couples pay on health insurance benefits for their partners. These same benefits are not being offered to straight employees who have been in long term relationships but are not married. Apparently, for Google’s management, it is morally incorrect for a heterosexual couple to live together outside of wedlock but the gay and lesbian lifestyle is perfectly acceptable as The Overton window slides just a bit further to the left.
Believe it or not, I don’t think gay and lesbian couples should have to pay a tax on healthcare benefits they opt for simply because they are gay! I also do not believe straight couples should pay a tax on healthcare benefits just because they are not married; which is exactly the issue at hand here. The tax the gay and lesbian couples are paying is because they are NOT married they are not paying a tax because they are gay.
So what Google, in what is clearly a left wing concept of equality, has done is to alienate those heterosexual couples who choose not to get married. The article states that these couples could get married, if they so choose, to avoid the tax penalty.
If the federal government were to replace the federal income tax ( a law who’s pages exceed 20,000 ) with either a flat income tax or a national sales tax this would eliminate all forms of bias with regard to who pays and does not pay their taxes.
Why won’t they do this? They won’t do it because it takes their power away. If the tax laws became 100% fair for everyone who paid them, how would politicians give favors to big corporations or other large campaign donors? That’s right, they couldn’t. So the tax code becomes more bloated and less comprehensible each year as special loopholes are put in place in payment for large campaign contributions to, lifelong, career, politicians who have only their personal best interests (re-election) in mind.
Solution:
Term limits!
If a politician knows that he’s going to be back in the public sector within a few years, that politician is not going to implement policies that hurt the private sector while growing the government!
A national sales tax ( only if it replaces the income tax; not as an add-on ).
If EVERYONE paid a tax on everything they buy, then EVERYONE would be paying taxes as they consume.
Let’s do a math problem:
A drug dealer goes into the local BMW dealer and wants to buy a car with cash. What is the total amount of Federal Income Tax paid on the amount of money spent on the BMW? The formula looks like this: n X 0 = y solve for Y?
If there were a sales tax, that same drug dealer would be paying taxes just like the rest of us.
Problem #2: Big wig corporate executive has all his “bonuses” paid to an offshore account. How much in US Federal Income Tax does he pay on any “Capital Gains” he receives from his “offshore investment?” That’s right the formula is the same as before n X 0 = y solve for Y.
Now this same big wig corporate exec goes down to the same BMW dealer and wants to buy a car with cash. How much does he pay in US Federal Tax if there is a sales tax in place? Obviously it would depend on the percentage rate of the tax, but the fact is he’d pay the same as the drug dealer or anyone else who bought a car of the same price! It’s FAIR to everyone!
Hey, and under a “sales tax” system, poor people pay less in taxes. Why? Because they buy less so over the course of a year, they will pay less in taxes than everyone else. No loopholes for big corporations or the rich, just a fair simple tax you pay every time you buy something!
Oh, and you say you want your retirement savings to grow, no problem; EVERY PENNY you save is never taxed until you spend it!
There ARE solutions America, elect leaders who will implement them!

The Red Pill!
I came across a book (a series of articles really) written by members of “The Progressive Ideas Network”. The following paragraph is from the Forward of that book:
“For the past three decades, America has become a more precarious place for most of its citizens. Government has done less, when it should have done more. As corporations have ceased to provide reliable jobs, wages, health care, or retirement security, government has failed to step into the vacuum. As women as well as men have joined the workforce in large numbers, government policy has failed to address the needs of children and families. As carbon-based energy has become less reliable and more of a menace to the planet, government has failed to help develop alternatives. And as government has defaulted on these and other pressing challenges, people have tended to give up on the promise of democracy.”
So what is their answer to these “pressing challenges”? That’s right! MORE GOVERNMENT!
Again a quote from “Thinking Big”:
“The best thing about Thinking Big is the way it connects the dots. Larry Mishel and Nancy Cleeland discuss how government is indispensable to redeeming an economy of shared prosperity. If government can pull America back from the brink of depression, the same public investment so urgently needed for macroeconomic purposes can also make the economy fairer and more secure.”
Their answer to the problem of governments, repeated, failure to improve even a single aspect of American life, is to increase the size and scope of that same, failed, government; they believe that “government is indispensable”!
My fellow Americans, I’m here to tell you, your founding fathers created a governmental structure, in the very heart and soul of the constitution they produced, that, in fact, mandates that same government must be dispensable!
“There is not in the whole science of politicks a more solid or a more important maxim than this--that of all governments, those are the best, which, by the natural effect of their constitutions, are frequently renewed or drawn back to their first principles” – James Wilson one of many of the “forgotten” founding fathers!
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2009/06/Justice-Law-and-the-Creation-of-the-American-Republic-The-Forgotten-Legacy-of-James-Wilson
We have reached such a point in history. It is time to draw back and renew our country’s direction. We’ve been lulled to sleep by a concerted effort by the left to move public opinion and even morality in the direction of communism and godlessness. A process described by Joseph Overton in 1960 and referred to as "The Overton Window" and it's being used to change the way you think!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
The left has been in an all-out, full frontal attack on the American way of life ever sense the very conception of communism! They have set as their goal to infiltrate the highest levels of our government and military. They’ve moved to change the very history books our children read so as to paint history in a “progressive light”. They, regularly, seek to undermine our morality through the slow but assured progress of the entertainment industry.

You, your family and your way of life have been under attack since before you were likely even born. It is time, America, to wake up. It’s time to stand up. It’s time to fight!

Many of you likely saw the very popular movie “The Matrix”. In it, the primary character Neo is given a choice, take the red pill and learn the secrets of the matrix, take the blue pill and go back to his existence as he knows it. Thankfully, for the betterment of all mankind the hero, Neo, takes the red pill and finds that he’s been living in what is in essence a dream world made up of a computer generated “Matrix”. He finds that he, and the rest of the human race, is no more than a power supply for a group of futuristic machines that had long ago taken over and now needed a source of energy. Humans were placed, side by side row upon row stacked one on top of the other and all connected directly to the power grid and of course the matrix. Men had become the power source for machines that ruled the world.
Tonight, when you get home from your 9-5 job and you hit that little remote tucked up under the sun visor of your car, before you pull into your garage pause for a moment and consider this article. Take a look at your street? Is it not row upon row of cubicles stacked one upon the other? The majority of Americans live on their 100’x130’ little slice of the American pie! In their 3 Bedroom 2 Bath home with 2.5 kids a dog and a cat. Many, if not most, don’t even know the last name of the person who lives 2 doors down (many not even the guy next door). We’ve become batteries for the political machine. We go to work, pay our taxes and all the while we’re sleeping! Our taxes are the energy they need to keep us under their control! It is a system designed to keep you ( the power source ) in line ( or on line ).
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. -- Morpheus

It’s time to wake up America! It's time to take your medicine, it's time for THE RED PILL!
“For the past three decades, America has become a more precarious place for most of its citizens. Government has done less, when it should have done more. As corporations have ceased to provide reliable jobs, wages, health care, or retirement security, government has failed to step into the vacuum. As women as well as men have joined the workforce in large numbers, government policy has failed to address the needs of children and families. As carbon-based energy has become less reliable and more of a menace to the planet, government has failed to help develop alternatives. And as government has defaulted on these and other pressing challenges, people have tended to give up on the promise of democracy.”
So what is their answer to these “pressing challenges”? That’s right! MORE GOVERNMENT!
Again a quote from “Thinking Big”:
“The best thing about Thinking Big is the way it connects the dots. Larry Mishel and Nancy Cleeland discuss how government is indispensable to redeeming an economy of shared prosperity. If government can pull America back from the brink of depression, the same public investment so urgently needed for macroeconomic purposes can also make the economy fairer and more secure.”
Their answer to the problem of governments, repeated, failure to improve even a single aspect of American life, is to increase the size and scope of that same, failed, government; they believe that “government is indispensable”!
My fellow Americans, I’m here to tell you, your founding fathers created a governmental structure, in the very heart and soul of the constitution they produced, that, in fact, mandates that same government must be dispensable!
“There is not in the whole science of politicks a more solid or a more important maxim than this--that of all governments, those are the best, which, by the natural effect of their constitutions, are frequently renewed or drawn back to their first principles” – James Wilson one of many of the “forgotten” founding fathers!

We have reached such a point in history. It is time to draw back and renew our country’s direction. We’ve been lulled to sleep by a concerted effort by the left to move public opinion and even morality in the direction of communism and godlessness. A process described by Joseph Overton in 1960 and referred to as "The Overton Window" and it's being used to change the way you think!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overton_window
The left has been in an all-out, full frontal attack on the American way of life ever sense the very conception of communism! They have set as their goal to infiltrate the highest levels of our government and military. They’ve moved to change the very history books our children read so as to paint history in a “progressive light”. They, regularly, seek to undermine our morality through the slow but assured progress of the entertainment industry. What is considered “PG-13” today, could very well have been considered pornographic just a generation ago. They seek to eliminate God from our government, our schools and eventually from our churches ( many have already kicked him out ).
You, your family and your way of life have been under attack since before you were likely even born. It is time, America, to wake up. It’s time to stand up. It’s time to fight!

Tax & Spend Economics NEVER work!
You have wants and desires, things you’d love to do, places you’d love to see and things you’d love to own. But, you have a small, nagging problem. Your income does not quite live up to your desires and so, like so many Americans, you’ve run up a huge personal debt. Suddenly, you find that you’ve lost your income and cannot pay the minimum monthly payments on your credit cards; what do you do? The answer is simple right! You get a new credit card! As long as you have plastic there’s not a care in the world you can’t “swipe” away! Really? How long do you think that will last? I can tell you, it lasted about 30 or 40 years and the jig is up, the party is over and the piper want’s his dough!
Now the Tax & Spend Liberal/Socialist/Progressive/Communist in Washington DC want you to believe this same lie they have been feeding the American public for generations! Let’s see if this really makes any sense!
They want you to believe that if you allow them to take a larger portion of YOUR pay check ( you know, the one you no longer have because there are no jobs! ) and allow them to “re-distribute” it as they see fit, then the economy will magically be revived! Does this make any sense at all? Do you think 100% of the money they take from YOUR income goes to help the needy and the poor? Please? It goes to pay for the people working in government jobs!
You have 10% of the US population, who want jobs, who can’t find them. What does this tell you about the other 90%? That’s right! They have jobs! 90% of the people in America, who want or need a job, have one. Granted, it may not be the best job ever but it’s and income and a source of self-worth, accomplishment and self-reliance that no form of hand out, government program or welfare state could ever hope to give its people!
Now, the Tax & Spenders claim the problem is no-one is buying anything, this is what is meant by “the economy is bad”. If you don’t buy another 57” TV for the bathroom, or that new video game console for the RV (I hate camping without my Xbox!) or the new washer and dryer for mom, “manufactures” have nothing to manufacture because no one is buying their wears! So what you need, are people who have an income; more importantly, disposable income. That’ right, you either need people who have a little extra each month ( and are willing to spend it ) or, you sell them on the idea that “it’s not how much it cost, it’s how much are the monthly payments!” But if they have a little left over each month to spend, why would you think that reducing that amount ( by taking it in the form of an income tax ) would help bolster the economy? That's ludicrous!
So the problem is reduced to this, 10% of the people have no income and can therefore not afford to be regular consumers of goods. 90% of the people have jobs, but most of them are in such deep debt that they’ve begun to cut back on their own personal “Deficit Spending”! At least this is what we are being told!
Now the fact of the matter is, if you go down to any mall in America, you’ll still get a decent workout on your walk from the far end of the parking lot! The restaurants still have 20 and 30 minute waits on a Tuesday night! Why? Because 90% of Americans have jobs and some small amount of disposable income!
So the Lib’s answer to the problem is this, let’s take more of the disposable income from the 90% of the Americans who have jobs and give it to the 10% who do not! So now, the 90% have less disposable income and the 10% have more disposable income but still no jobs! Why? Because you haven’t changed the overall supply of real money! It does not matter one bit WHO spends the money only that there is money to spend! Remember we said that not 100% of your tax dollars are going to make it to the 10% who could use it; they are going to go to pay for the bureaucracy that will distribute it! Let’s do some quick math as an example; we will use ridiculously small numbers to make the problem easier to understand.
Let’s reduce the American population to 100 people; 90 of whom have jobs and 10 that do not.
Further, let’s use $50,000 as the median income. Also, let’s use a small 4 level tax structure as the current tax rate ( God only knows the country could use a flat tax!) and say that there are those who pay 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% respectively based on their income. So we have something like this:
Income 0 – 24,999 Tax = 0%
Income 25,000 – 49,999 Tax = 10%
Income 50,000 – 99,999 Tax = 20%
Income 100,000 & Up Tax = 30%
Now the 10 people who are currently un-employed will obviously fall into the 0% tax rate.
Let’s say that 50% of the people are in the 25K – 50K 10% bracket and 35% are in the 50K – 99K 20% bracket leaving the top bracket to the remaining 5% of our 100 people. That breaks down like this:
10 people who pay Zero in Federal Income Tax. Let’s call this group “The Poor”
50 people who pay 10% Lets’ call this group “Low Income”
35 people who pay 20% Let’s call this group “Middle Class”
5 people who pay 30% Let’s call this group “The Rich”
Let’s use some “median” incomes to do some additional math and figure out how the Federal Government will make its income.
10 People pay $0.00 per year
50 People make on average $37,500 per year times 10% = $3,750 per person or $187,500
35 People make on average $75,000 per year times 20% = $15,000 per person or $525,000
5 People make on average $300,000 per year times 30% = $90,000 per person or $450,000
Now, what sorts of things do we notice from this example?
The first thing that jumps out at me is that the Federal Governments highest source of income is coming from the 35% of people in “The Middle Class”! Notice, too, that the Federal Government has an income of $1,162,500!!! WHAT THE $#&!? You are telling me that “The Rich” make $300,000 and the Federal Government makes $1,162,500! Who’s making the REAL MONEY? Come on people WAKE UP!
Further, we can see that 60% of the people fall into either “The Poor” or “Low Income” categories, thus 35% of the people are paying the most for the “social programs” that address the needs of “The Poor” and the “Low Income” groups.
Next, I notice that each person’s “total tax burden” exponentially increases with their increase in income! The Middle Class pay, nearly, five times as much, actual money per person, as the “Low Income” group. The top 5% of the people are paying nearly as much as the 35% of the people in the middle class combined and are paying six times as much, per person, as “The Middle Class”! So the entire, American, population of 100 people has exactly $303,750 in “spendable” income while The Federal Government has $1,162,500! Um, excuse me? Are you telling me that $1,162,500 is given to “The Poor” as spendable income? Of course NOT! Where does that money go? One of the dirty little secrets is, a growing number of Bureaucrats are in that “Middle Class” and an alarming number of them are in “The Rich” group! That’s where the VAST MAJORITY of your tax dollars go, to pay for Federal Jobs ( and the ridiculously lavish pension plans they come with).
But I digress! The point was to show that it does not matter “who” spends the disposable money but rather that the total amount of disposable money gets increased! So let’s have a look at that, shall we?
Our groups were:
The Poor: who have Zero disposable income
Low Income: who have $37,500 - $3,750 = $33,750 in “spendable” income
Middle Class: who have $75,000 - $15,000 = $60,000 in “spendable” income
The Rich: who have $300,000 - $90,000 = $210,000 in “spendable” income
So in our math example we have the Federal Government taking in a total of $1,162,500 per year in income taxes.
Now the Libs want to increase income taxes on “The Rich”, so let’s say they do just that! They increase the tax burden on the top 5% from 30% to 40%. It’s only 10% right? They can afford it! After all they are rich!
So now our numbers work out like this:
10 People pay $0.00 per year
50 People make on average $37,500 per year times 10% = $3,750 per person or $187,500
35 People make on average $75,000 per year times 20% = $15,000 per person or $525,000
5 People make on average $300,000 per year times 40% = $120,000 per person or $600,000
And our list of “spendable” money looks like this:
The Poor: now have divided among them the additional $30,000, taken from “The Rich”.
Low Income: who have $37,500 - $3,750 = $33,750 in “spendable” income
Middle Class: who have $75,000 - $15,000 = $60,000 in “spendable” income
The Rich: who have $300,000 - $120,000 = $180,000 in “spendable” income
So now we have a total “spendable” income of:
The Poor: $30,000
Low Income: $33,750
Middle Class: $60,000
The Rich: $180,000
Total = $303,750
HEY, WAIT ONE DOG GONE MINUTE! That is the EXACT same amount of money that was available to be spent BEFORE we stole from the rich to give to the poor!
What if, instead of increasing taxes, we focused on creating jobs! Even jobs in the Low Income bracket of $37,500. What would happen if we took just ½ of the unemployed and got them all jobs making $37,500 a year?
You do the math, but the short answer is this, 5 people would now have an additional $30,000 a year in spendable income; increasing the “economy” by $150,000 of “spendable” income! The Federal Government would gain and additional $18,750 in revenue ( in the form of income taxes on the newly created jobs) that could then be distributed to the few people who are left without a job, primarily because they are un-employable for one reason or another (mental or physical illness for example).
I hope this, rather long example has proven to you that the answer to our current financial woes is NOT to TAX and SPEND but rather to reduce taxes on those who create jobs, so they have more disposable income to hire new employees! This would have the additional benefit of creating greater demand for goods and services, further fueling the need for workers and so on and so on. If you have more people working, you have more people buying and if more people are buying, you need more people working to produce the stuff to buy! It’s all quite simple when you take a moment to think about it!
Thank you for taking a moment to think about it! Now, go out in November and vote for congressional candidates who understand these simple truths!
Now the Tax & Spend Liberal/Socialist/Progressive/Communist in Washington DC want you to believe this same lie they have been feeding the American public for generations! Let’s see if this really makes any sense!
They want you to believe that if you allow them to take a larger portion of YOUR pay check ( you know, the one you no longer have because there are no jobs! ) and allow them to “re-distribute” it as they see fit, then the economy will magically be revived!
