Isn't amazing that politicians think that the middle class is helped by giving politicians more money and power?

Of course they think that the climate is helped by giving politicians more money and power?

In fact their solution to anything is to give politicians more money and power.

It would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

The liberals spend their days talking about the greedy rich not paying their fair share. The truth is that if we were to take every cent from the top one percent of wealth in this country it wouldn't fund government spending for FOUR DAYS.

I was at a Christmans party six or eight years ago where I met a chap who was retired from the UAW. Now some of it was the egg nog talking I'm sure, but he was ranting on about how great Nancy Pelosi was because she was going after those rich bastards who were making all that money on Wall Street. I was talking with the he guy for a little while, and it turns out that he had rolled over $700,000 out of his 401(k) into his IRA when he retired, and of course how smart he was and all. I asked him if he knew who Queen Nancy was going after with all her "get Wall Street" rhetoric. He paused and I said, "It's YOU, ya dope! Your 401(k) didn't get that big on bank CDs." He then informed me that it grew because of his mutual funds, not stocks and bonds. I realized suddenly that it was pearls before swine...he didn't get it, and what's more, he never will.

all of the politicians are destroying the country and they are oblivious to that fact. I heard sander's say he will spend 10 trillion if elected mostly for socialized medicine, the man is a loony tune. yesterday i read that the government received over 2 trillion in tax revenue for the last quarter.if you believe that i'll sell you the brooklyn bridge, but IF that were the case why does 0 need more money. well let us say he needs it to take care of his muslim friends that he is bringing into the country. once here they will become bumps on a log with their hands out for ever. and he is getting away with it because the legislative branch of government is useless as the tits on a bull hog!!!!!!!!!!!!!

scoop water from the deep end and pour ... oh, say, about half ...
into the shallow end, keeping about half for themselves .......
this helps the depth of the pool increase. . sure! -- j

Clearly you have forgotten Directive 10-289!

The cartoon illustrates what so few people seem to understand, and I have been trying to spread the message for years. When business is taxed, over-regulated, etc. the person who pays for it all is the consumer in higher prices and less employment. I think that is an easy Econ101 lesson which anyone should be able to understand. Maybe not.

Taxation money comes primarily from the Middle Class. And it is used in order to help.....the Middle Class? However once a dollar is filtered through the government system, it comes out looking more like twenty-five cents after expenses. SO -- in order to help the Middle Class, politicians take money from the Middle Class and turn it into one quarter of the amount taxed. Very helpful...huh?

Where is the money coming from?
It's used in research, children dear,
For ways to increase the tax next year."

I find it amazing liberals (socialists) can't see the 'Trickle-Down' affect of raising or lowering taxes or regulations. Are they really that stupid, or is it like Obama and ISIS; a shadow game to hide their true desires?

It amazes me that liberals and progressives don't see this connection yet they themselves are the greedy...don't see them giving up profit, unearned income or stolen proceeds to pay 'Their' Fair Share!

Another one for the classroom wall, and AP government class discussion.
Much appreciated,

I like the "so-called rich". Pretty stupid.

Great point. Just posted this cartoon on my FB page.

This fact has never changed. The world is a zero sum game. Until we make replicators...
