The Bloodbath Continued

In a response to this statement made by Jim Messina, Presidents Barack Obama’s Campaign manager: “Ryan, like Romney, proposed an additional '$250,000 tax cut for millionaires,” I have written a blog post explaining why I believe that tax cuts for millionaires isn’t so bad.

Fair Share is a term that we have been hearing a lot about in the media these days. One of the many lines you have probably heard is  “ The top 1 percent of this nation need to pay their fair share of taxes,” or maybe this instead “Republicans want tax cuts for the rich, who already aren’t paying their fair share.” Turn on Fox, CNN, MSNBC or any other news program, and you will hear about it.

Well, for those of you who read my blogs it is no surprise that I am conservative. And to many of my liberal friends and readers, you may believe that all I want is to help the rich get richer and the poor to waste and die. But let me tell you, that can’t be further from the truth.

As a conservative, I want every man and women to be able to have a job that can support themselves and their families.

If you want to talk about fair share, lets focus of the on the 49 percent of Americans who don’t pay any income tax at all. Leaving the rest of us to pick up the burden. The top 20 percent of Americans earn 53.4 percent of total income US income but pay 67.2 percent of total income tax (Source: Tax Policy Center). The people in the first and second percentile in the United States paying almost no individual income tax at all. But the media wants to focus on the rich because they already aren’t doing enough?

The other 49 percent of Americans need to start paying their fair share of taxes and until that happens our country is going to continue a dark road. Also, loopholes need to be closed to corporations that take advantage of the system. We need serious tax reform in the country before we can start making some forward progress.

The media also needs to rid itself of this stigmatism that all rich people are evil and didn’t work hard to achieve success.

With 1/3 of this country on welfare something needs to change and it needs to start at the top with an end of the Obama’s presidency. We gave him a chance to fix the mess that he inherited, but he fumbled the pass and now its time to move on.  

Our country needs to cease in being an entitlement nation. I have no problem with welfare and giving people a helping hand. But welfare should only be a temporary program that gets people back on their feet and not a permanent solution to their problem.

Remember a government that can give you everything, can just as easily take it all away. Just take a look across the Atlantic; Greece should be able to tell you how that worked out for them with 54 percent youth unemployment. And if you don’t take their word for it just ask Spain, who couldn’t even afford to make or buy outfits for their own Olympians and sent them to the Olympics looking like NASCAR drivers. 

One last thing:

Paul Ryan sleeps in cot in his Congressional office while in Washington. Harry Ried sleeps in a suite in the Ritz-Carlton hotel while he is in Washington. 

Now isn't that interesting.
