talkpoliticsOK so another rich person has broken ranks and is spitting in the symbolic eye of the GOP, who holds people like him up on a pedestal.
Only he goes further and shreds Good Old Gov. Christy aka Santa Claus and his "shut up and write a check" dismissal of The Buffet Plan.
And this ain't no fiction, but it is a horror story.
From Comrade King:
Cut a check and shut up, they said.
If you want to pay more, pay more, they said.
Tired of hearing about it, they said.
Tough shit for you guys, because I’m not tired of talking about it. I’ve known rich people, and why not, since I’m one of them? The majority would rather douse their dicks with lighter fluid, strike a match, and dance around singing “Disco Inferno” than pay one more cent in taxes to Uncle Sugar.
Lighter Fluid (Made in China)
The read is entertaining and reinforces some common sense realities (unless you are an apologist for the GOP, where you can take a cue from Christy, and dismiss those not in lock-step with your view).
So, does his position on the fantasy that is 'jobs creation' change anyone's mind? Still want to argue 'trickle down'? I say it, again, like so many other posts this week have shown, we need to either tax the fuck out of the rich, again, or take a big chunk of a billionaire's estate in tax, and put if back into the coffers from whence it beget. So the infrastructure can be maintained for the next generation of billionaires to EARN wealth as opposed to INHERITED wealth.
I'll settle for either.
