Back To The Future Of Change
You asked for it, you got it!
Change Baby, Change!
The Democrats continue their assault on common sense by finding new and interesting ways to damn financially successful Americans as elite fat cats worthy of having their treasures plundered.
Program after program, from Congresses near trillion dollar non-stimulating spending spree to the untenable bureaucratic nightmare of ObamaCare universal health insurance, is all allegedly going to be funded by increased taxes and decreased tax deductions on the wicked well-heeled. Barack Obama and his faithful minions are amazingly able to speak with straight faces as they explain how the money earned by hard working, people employing, small business men and women is the rightful bounty of the unwashed masses.
Pay no mind that some of these supposed ne’er-do-wells have risked everything they own to succeed in business. Don’t give a second thought to the fact that most have spent years toiling and sacrificing to amass their fortunes. Don’t even concern yourself with the reality that for many of these small business owners much of their total income reported to the IRS as income is actually their Sub S business revenues used to employ other people who are happy to have a job.
The Democrats are going back to the same well worn well they always go to but this time there could be dire consequences associated with their socialistic wealth redistribution money grab.
Historically wealthier Americans have been considered Republican voters. In 1995 of the 25 most affluent districts in America Democrats represented only 5. Today in those same 25 districts Democrats represent 14. This is making at least some Democrats, particularly in those districts, more than a little worried about the fallout from their actions. And with good reason.
Back in 1993 then President Bill Clinton used a similar fraudulent strategy of increasing taxes on the upper tax brackets with the claim that the increase was necessary to reduce the federal deficit. The bill passed in 1993 and in 1994 the GOP swept through both houses of Congress like an Arkansas tornado through a trailer park. The Clinton tax hikes helped fuel the recession that began in 1999. Clinton was followed by President GW Bush who lowered tax rates, eased the recession, stimulated the economy and increased revenues to the IRS.
Democrats like then freshman House member Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky who cast the deciding vote in favor of the tax hike are still bitter after having been shown the door in the next election. “I never should have been asked to take that vote, ever” Margolies-Mezinsky said recently.
But the constant fallacious drubbing by Democrats on President Bush and the improvident promise of undefined change successfully numbed the memory of undecided voters and the Dem’s regained control. But the problem with being in power is that your hand is now on the rudder and steering this bloated ship of state is far more difficult than simply pointing an accusing finger.
21 Democrat freshmen and one sophomore Congress member submitted a letter last week opposing the Democrat led tax hikes and surtaxes. It said in part “Especially in a recession, we need to make sure not to kill the goose that will lay the golden eggs of our recovery.”
Even Obama has changed his tune on ObamaCare by claiming we need to have a bill passed by the end of the year, having moved the drop dead date back from yesterday. But be assured these 21 Democrat Congress members along with the rest of the Democrat House and Senate will be harangued on a daily basis to march in step to the tune of the Chosen One.
And with that, Obama may indeed bring about his promise of Change.
It just may happen to be in the majority party of Congress come the midterm elections.
