Santorum: Worse than Socialism

Dec 21 2011 Published by under salt

Rick Santorum in The Des Moines Register nails it:

“’I’m for income inequality.

I think some people should make more than other people, because some people work harder and have better ideas and take more risk, and they should be rewarded for it. I have no problem with income inequality. 

President Obama is for income equality. That’s socialism. It’s worse yet, it’s Marxism,’ Santorum said. ‘I’m not for income equality.

I’m not for equality of result — I’m for equality of opportunity.’”

In thinking about the anti-capitalism ethos afoot:

We borrow 42 cents of every dollar we spend, right? Even the Left would stipulate this as FACT.

The top 1% pay in 38% of ALL the revenue the federal government takes in, right?  Even the Left would stipulate this as FACT.

What if the 1% stopped paying? Hmm?

I would argue that capitalism is the only thing keeping us afloat.

If the 1% went on strike, withdrew their capital, took their balls and went to some foreign home you would not only have to borrow 42 cents of every dollar, you would have to borrow ANOTHER 38 cents.

Let’s see… 42 + 38 = 80.

EIGHTY PERCENT of this economy runs on the WEALTH CAPITALISM CREATES AND THE CREDIT THEIR WEALTH ENSURES.

Bonus question: How much do you have to earn to be in the lucky 1%?

Bonus answer: A little over $300,000.  Yes – Three hundred thousand dollars a year.  Forget individual families for a second and consider this:  70% of the businesses in America are small business and the overwhelming majority of them file as individual earners.  The frickin’ corner store grosses twice that, fercryingoutloud.  Bam-Bam thinks they’re fat cats.

Bonus BONUS factoid: (Now, back to the ‘fat-cat’ family we put aside a moment ago)  Obama strokes a check every year for $80k in tuition to Sidwell Friends for his two kids. (His money.  He earned it.  Got no problems with that, okay?)  But how come it’s okay for him to not have to go begging to the federal frickin’ government for a school loan to put his kids through school, but if someone ‘who worked hard and played by the rules’ wants to do it for his kids, he’s a selfish pr*ck?

Conclusion?

STUFF YOUR SOCIALISM.

Why is this so hard to understand?

Rich people have money. They are rich. They got rich by knowing how to keep/save/invest/protect their money. Because they have money they can afford lawyers & accountants to shelter their money no matter how onerous the regulation or tax law. If this is done in a business environment, the cost to shelter it (paying the lawyers & accountants) is passed on to the consumer.

DUH.

Every time Washington comes a’gunnin’ for the ‘fat cats’ the fat cats just call their tax attorney.

DUH.

Bam-Bam is poised to push them over the edge, however. Frickin’ ESTONIA is booming for crying out loud. Know why? They CUT taxes on the wealth/job creators and, shockingly, wealth went to Estonia and lifted all boats.

Jesus. This is NOT HARD AMERICA. Hello???? It’s simple friggin’ human goddamned nature. You can’t legislate utopia. You CAN’T.

There’s will ALWAYS be poor people among us. ALWAYS. Life will ALWAYS be unfair. ALWAYS. Didn’t democrats have mothers who told them this?

47% of America pays no federal income taxes. Of the $3+ Trillion this country spent last year over $2 Trillion were DIRECT PAYMENTS TO INDIVIDUALS.

Hello????

It’s NOT capitalism that’s failed. It’s being a ‘little bit pregnant’ with SOCIALISM GODDAMMIT. WAKE THE FRIG UP. It’s not CAPITALISM that caused our CRUSHING DEBT.

Capitalism is the ONLY GODDAMNED THING KEEPING US AFLOAT YOU STUPID FRIGGING MORONS.

You know what else rich people have? THE MEANS TO FLEE. If you’re not getting a government check, that means you are working for an ‘evil rich’ guy. If the ‘evil rich’ guy LEAVES, who you gonna work for? A POOR GUY? REALLY?

THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND, okay? HE’S POOR. P-O-O-R. Hello???

So, ALL the ‘evil rich’ guys LEAVE AMERICA. All you got left is government check, but GOVERNMENT is FUNDED BY THE RICH GUYS.

YOU’RE SCREWED.

Progressives… HAVE YOU EVER, ONCE, IN YOUR WHOLE STUPID, PROPAGANDIZED LIVES, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER EXTRAPOLATED THIS OUT YOURSELVES? EVER?

…I feel better now.

NewsBusters has this gem:

Lawrence O’Donnell Takes Conservative Boston Herald’s Side Over Obama’s

O’DONNELL: The Herald says it made a request to send a pool reporter to today’s events. Pool reporters provide information to the rest of the media when there’s limited access at a press event. The Herald said in turning down their request, White House spokesman Matt Lehrich mentioned the Romney op-ed from the last time President Obama was in town. Lehrich’s email to the Herald said in broken English, “I tend to consider the degree to which papers have demonstrated to covering the White House regularly and fairly in determining local pool reporters.” Good luck trying to diagram that sentence. “My point about the op-ed was not that you ran it but that it was the full front page which excluded any coverage of the visit of a sitting President of the United States to Boston. I think that raises a fair question about whether the paper is unbiased in its coverage of the President’s visits.”

Okay, White House, let’s get something straight here: The Boston Herald is not unbiased. Let’s get something else straight: The Boston Globe is not unbiased. The New York Times is not unbiased. The Washington Post is not unbiased. There are now maybe no more than ten cities left in America that have more than one newspaper. Boston is one of those lucky cities. The Boston Globe, the dominant paper in the region, likes you guys in the Obama White House. The Boston Herald doesn’t like you. Get used to it.
