Who indeed is smart enough to lead the country out of debt and recession. Certainly not the poor, they were too dumb, thats how they wound up poor. Yep, its the rich that need the elbow room to lead us up from the disaster O-t-h-e-r-s caused.
Raising taxes on the wealthy will only make them say: "If thats the way it is we quit, you morons will have to hire each other, we will take our productive tallents elsewhere, no more Twinkies for you. See how you like living without a Whopper Chopper in your kitchen. Oh BTW those big stretches of farm land, water rights, and other resources are Private Property".
Thats right, only those smart enough to screw us in the first place are smart enough to save us and you know they want to, if you'd only let them. We'd be so much better off if the richies didn't have to pay any taxes at all. If some are fabulously wealthy and the vast majority are poor, it all averages out for the country as a whole. Isn't that what really counts? Aren't we all Americans?
