"... but raise taxes on the richer". Stated another way... "Those who provide the money and capital to support the country... those who pay the country's bills... have NO POLITICAL VOICE... their only value to society is to provide the money for others to spend". How sick is that? Recall... "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" -- Karl Marx Half of us in America LOATH that. The other half... don't give a crap... all they care about is "gimme". And since they now are >50% of the populace, it spells the DOOM for America as we've know it. (Got news for the parasite class.... it will take a while, but you ain't gonna like the end result either.)
