So NeoBama plans to revamp the miracle of the loaves and fishes as he defies a century of negative correlation between higher taxes on business and actual revenues to the government. His sense of timing is akin to a modern-day shrink offering to drill a hole in your head to release the vapors causing your depression. Over twenty countries, whose previously high taxes and socialistic policies had left their populous unemployed and poverty-stricken have, since witnessing the unprecedented fiscal success of the Reagan tax cuts, opted to cast off the patently absurd practice of ‘progressive’ taxation resulting in millions of their citizens rising from destitution into prosperity. Flat taxes between 10 and 30 percent have made these countries irresistible to businesses and as the Big Board at Wall Street shows, business capital is fleeing the impending punitive tax rates of the United States to friendlier climes.
Politicians on the Left care little for facts or realities, since they sound so uninspiring. Far better for their voting base to promise fantastic results that will never materialize, and then blame someone else for the failure. NeoBama and his silver tongue were custom made for such an endeavor. This is why it goes completely unnoticed by the general public when he tells Charlie Gibson that he does not care if raising tax rates will mean the government gets less money from taxes. He will do it anyway for the “purposes of fairness.”
Make no mistake: As his response to Gibson demonstrates, this ideologue is perfectly aware that he cannot cut the deficit in half by raising business taxes. He simply does not care. He wishes to redistribute the wealth of our nation even if that means we will all be poorer. The promise to cut the deficit in half is simply the excuse du jour for confiscating an ever higher percentage of the earnings of others.
As Ann Coulter has pointed out, to the Left it is as if history never happened. They never learn from the experiences of the past. Boris Yeltsin walked into a Houston grocery store and was rendered speechless by the abundance of items available for any person to come and purchase, yet the Left is endlessly crusading to destroy the free market and make life more ‘fair’. Will it be fair enough when we are all living on whatever the government dole can pay us because there are no jobs left in our tax-strangled economy? Will it be fair enough when we all need to wait in line for three days to get a loaf of bread? This experiment has been tried and tried and tried and it has failed miserably everywhere. Regardless, just at the time when the rest of the world is lowering taxes and freeing their markets, leading like night into day to incredible growth and prosperity, we are regressing thanks to fact-phobic liberals.
The incredible arrogance of the people Thomas Sowell has so aptly labeled “The Anointed” is inexplicable outside of narcissistic personality disorder. They are so consumed with their own certainty in themselves and their vision that they will impose it on others no matter the consequences. If the unwashed masses cannot see that the liberal vision is what is best for them, then like little children we shall be forced to eat our veggies anyway.
NeoBama lies and says we can have our cake and eat it too. Pretends he believes he can raise taxes and make more money for the Treasury. Make business less profitable in the United States and create jobs. Destroy the incentives to employ and lower unemployment. The truth is, he will confiscate the wealth of this great nation, then destroy that wealth in whatever pet projects the Anointed believe are best for the ‘herd’. He will have our cake and eat it too.
