Got this link e-mailed to me this morning and I thought the CONservative defenders of the 1% would enjoy this.
Five minutes of Maher brilliance.
Perfect illustration of liberal thought patterns. Conflating food stamps with absence of tax.
This guy is a fool. People pay taxes when the live. Why can't they pass along what their estates to their family without a tax? This is a double taxation!
Hollywood Dem's kills me! They say they are for equal rights on the record. Yet the male directors out number the females 15 to 1, blacks can't get many roles, and Asians are relegated to martial arts or nerd roles.
Most people who accumulate those levels of wealth avoided their fair share of taxes all their lives through the loop holes and breaks created just for them. There is also the argument that much of that wealth is created from the resources which really belong to the people and are unfairly"liberated" by these people.
Then there is the idea that you don't want an oligarchy class to develop and wrap its tentacles around every aspect of our government and other institutions.
It's not as simple as; "They earned it they should keep it".
Oh and yes it's the Jews behind it all in Hollywood, is that what you're implying?
The government not confiscating your money is not the same as giving you money confiscated from someone else. I remember when Jackie O died and the left-wingers at CNN thought it was so terrible that JFK Jr and Caroline Kennedy had to auction off her personal effects to pay the estate taxes. I was struck by how they couldn't grasp that this was the same thing us common folk went through when trying to deal with issues like passing along family farms, businesses and heirlooms.
I will say that before the government gives back 35% on anything over $5 million in inheritance, don't the middle class deserve a tax break first?
Doesn't this reveal the GOPs priorities?
This reveals the liberal thought process. The government isn't "giving" anything back. They are just not stealing it. BTW many farmers own over $5 million in land. Should their children be forced to sell it to pay uncle Sam when the parents die?
