These people remind me of a group of children sitting around trying to figure out what to play and someone says, 'I know. Let's play government and spend money and raise taxes.'

Econ 101 should be required for all politicians.

Here is how I see the Liberal Mind in terms of taxes . . .

The toddler (Liberal) wants to be warm; however, the home is rather chilly. So the toddler moves a chair to the wall and then stands on the chair so as to turn the dial of the thermostat. The toddler has no clue as to the mechanics of what happens behind the scenes in terms of the thermostat and heating; moreover, the toddler will be unable to grasp the words from an adult who tries to explain that there is no heating oil, or that the power has been turned off due to a delinquency in payments, or that the budget for heating needs to be reduced to compensate for other expenses. And this is how the Liberal Mind perceives taxes -- the State needs more money, we just need to raise taxes. The Liberal is just that vapid -- there are no wheels in the Liberal Mind that are geared toward conceptualization; the faculties for thinking are nearly nonexistent.

I loved his gaffe that those who make less than $400K would not pay any tax. Imagine if Trump made that gaffe...wow

Well,after all, it's you're fault the cycles of Nature will be changin the climate...got's to charge you for that...

I do believe the thing that bothers me most is that I am 100% sure these people in the White House don't have a clue as to what they are doing.

And then the demon-rats will blame the consequences on the new administration

Another talking point from The Left: A Tax-Cut is an Expense . . . "we cannot afford this tax cut" ... we hear this all the time.

Insisting that a Tax-Cut is an expense shows an ignorance of basic accounting.
More importantly, insisting that a Tax-Cut is an expense is morally reprehensible. It presumes that The State (bureaucrats) already own all of the money that is yet to be taxed on future production.

When I hear someone, in person, say that a Tax-Cut is an Expense, I call them out on it. They typically move away from me while sputtering some nonsense about how I don't care about people and want the old and the sick to just die ... Toddleresque tripe.

He needs more money to advance leftists ideals. He doesnt care how he gets the money or what its collection does to people or how the spending of it hurts them.
The question of why we bother to acquire wealth in the first place is made more real now. Emotionally already, I dont want to make money or have any more money I absolutely need. Why work and then have the leftists take it ?

Jokes’ on you Biden. I’m Going Galt. You’re going to end up giving me money.

"Well, when you propose $6 trillion in new spending, there’s no way the revenue structure can remotely work by not raising taxes on the middle class."
I know. I can't believe how Biden is able to fly under the radar on the spending issue.

Being as how I am the "Anti Christ" of the Gulch, I will begin my statement with a terrible salute:

Assalamualaikum Gulchers !


I, in reference to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy; would like to stress that taxes have a justified cause. No human is an island onto it's own, unless of course they live in an uncharted region of the Great Pacific Ocean. Therefore, the vast majority of us are part of a greater, common ideal that is civilization and society.

For better or for worse, our kind has lived in societies over 60,000 years ago as homo sapiens and homo sapiens sapiens. Our first cities were graveyards, or necrópolis; and then we encountered the first greco roman villages and city states, "a posteriori" of the fertile lands of the crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Our first record of a human settlement is of Ur, though nowadays there seems to be predecessing cities to these.

In the New World, homo sapiens appeared as long as 25,000 years ago. Some natives are the direct descendants of the Mongolians that crossed the Bering Breach during the last ice age, though others such as the Ahonikenk in southern Patagonia are believed to predate these "injuns" to the time when the continents of our planet wered fixed together. Darwin studied these "Fueguino" Tribes aboard Captain Fitz Roy's Beagle before reaching the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific, scenario that deamed ideal for his study on evolution.

We depend on each other, therefore we are not completely independent. And that dependency has always been tributed to an Alfa, a Monarch, a leader. So, as you can deduct; we need to be protected and controlled. This is as old as civilization itself, and prior to it as well. And since the dawn of mankind we have always looked up to leaders, be they fathers, mothers, brothers, Chief Tribes Men, Feudal Lords, Senators, Royalty, Presidents, Ministers, etc. Socialism, therefore; is older than capitalism and individuality, which came later and as a result of the most privileged whom, in a blood pact of heirarchies and bloodlines; have unfairly instituted Dynasties to attend to their descendants first, second, and thirdly. Maybe "the people" came in fourth, though sometimes they may not even make the top hundreds list. This is Smith's Liberal Philosophy, "au contraire" to Monarchies, Empires, and Democracies.

We live in Presidentialist Democracies in the Americas, due to our heritage (both English, Spanish, and Portuguese). The Roman Catholic Church was the main Taxater in the XV and XVI centuries in Latin America, and the British Crown in the North. We all shed our shackles systematically after the Boston Tea Party and, of course; the Napoleon Wars in Europe which resulted in the French Revolution; "carta magna" of our American Constitutions.

That Democracies rust under the corrosion of corruption is as old as Greece itself, so...come now Gulchers, take a deep breath and let all these facts sink in before jumping to quick conclusions.

Have a Nice Week
