Let's punish the wealthy

In the last few months we've heard many things due to the presidential elections. Taxes and energy seem to be topping the cake right now. So we thought we'd show you what happens if some of these ideas are put into place.

Let us start at the bottom. The people with little or no money. They have become accustom to thinking the deserve financial help from our government. When historically (a long time ago) family was who they'd turn to.

In order for our government to help all these millions of people they need to have some sort of revenue. They use taxes for this revenue (like an income to the government).

This income then pays the people who work for the government program. These people then try to give what ever money is left over (after their pay and research ect) to the people "in need".

Now these "need" people may have low paying jobs and have taxes taken out of their check each month. At the end of the year the government returns this money to them plus a little extra if they have kids.

There are still the middle people who do not qualify as "need" but still have their taxes returned to them each year.

These two make up most of the United States.

But where does the government get this money?

There are people who make a "good" living and some who are very wealthy. These people have to pay taxes. The government keeps this tax money.

Now this is a very very basic example.

So this is what happens when good intentions aren't thought through:

When we start taking money from our "big" businesses and handing it out to those who didn't work for it - the business is not only going to do what it can to hold onto all it can but it won't hire as many people and quite possibly fire people, and it won't be inclined to make donations on it own.

When we over tax something or someone the instant response is to hold onto what you have hard.

If we lighten the tax load on these "big and wealthy" they are much much more inclined to share/donate, help, and hire. They are much more inclined to start businesses and hire employees.

By doing this it brings money into our economy. Strengthens the base because people are working.

But when we tax and "bail out" all those people who made poor choices by pumping in imaginary money and taxing we are not only weakening our base, we are creating inflation.

The government needs to step back and let things happen. We know this is a tough thing to do. But in the long run we will be a stronger nation. Our flag will hold value in more of our hearts because we did our own personal best whether or not be became millionaires.

There is something to be said about personally creating success and learning from our mistakes.

We know there are many more issues that surround what is happening, shipping jobs over seas... but we also know you can succeed. You can be proud of who you are and be proud to be part of our great nation - the United States of America.

Remember NO ONE can do it for you
YOU are who make you what you are.

Just heard you on Rush Limbaugh. I have been so down on our future as a nation...we're headed in a wrong direction with many Un-American principles being accepted as mainstream. However...your discussion with Rush and the brief things I have read here are inspirational and offer me hope! Best of luck spreading your message of self-sufficency, strength and American ideals.

Please clarify. Your now suspended site on WordPress.com due to violation of terms of service stated $50,000 was to be donated to the Marines Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation.

To Rush you stated $25,000. Why the discrepancy???
