Wurzelbacher: The Issues of a Plumber

plain old Socialism you say?

Well, we now have lot's of plain old Socialism - Republican Socialism that is - not for United States citizens, but for corporations, especially for financial institutions that hid their bad assets from the public while Republican managed regulators looking the other way in favor of letting the market adjust itself. Well it has adjusted itself and now we have the Republican brand of Socialism. I think we are definately ready for a change, and that would not be another Republican.

How Someone Registers & Votes

How you vote IS private, unless you tell the world.

How you REGISTER is public information.

Take a deep breath!

It doesn't matter who asked the question. This is NOT about Joe. It's about you and me, about what kind of America we want, a peoples paradise where the hard workers who make this the most productive nation on earth are hobbled by government forcing them to "spread it around"?

Right now, the top 5% pay more than 60% of the income taxes and 50% don't pay any at all. So, the system is already tilted in favor of redistribution.

Increasing taxes on our most productive people will only result in one thing--less tax revenue. Smart people will find ways, including not working as hard, to minimize the bite.

Will doubling the capital gains tax increase tax revenues. No, the data shows that it will have the exact opposite effect. Just what we need in a time of financial uncertainty. Stop feeding Senator Government. He's already obese from feeding on our taxes!
