The rich --in fact an utterly unproductive elite --produces NOTHING! It lives upon "investments" which of themselves produce absolutely nothing! <BR/><BR/>Bushies will claim that the current system creates investment capital. Bullshit! It does nothing of the kind. Where was that "capital" before it trickled up? <BR/><BR/>It was working! <BR/><BR/>Before it "trickled up" via unfair tax cuts for the already wealthy, the money was actually working, supporting small business, hiring people and putting food on tables. <BR/><BR/>In reality, the "super rich" -- Bush's base --are economic vampires. It is no coincidence that when the US was most egalitarian it was most productive. The US led the world in numerous areas. Now, the US lags Europe, China, Japan, indeed, most of the world in most key areas. Capital "trickling up" to Bush's base is money lost to productive investment, lost to small business, lost to consumers who might have spent it in ways that might have created jobs here in the US. <BR/><BR/>Since the regime of Ronald Reagan, almost EVERY ONE of those trends has gone down as the concentration of wealth measured by the GINI index has gone up and up and up. The citizens of the US have been robbed blind by would-be, phony aristocrats of no true class. Revolution now! <BR/> <BR/><EM> but it seems to me that the current tax plan does the same thing in favor of the rich. </EM><BR/><BR/>It does! See my comments above. <BR/><BR/><EM>Taxes are the way a society pays for its own upkeep, and those as benefit from that society most should be expected to pay the most to keep the society going. I think it's about time that this undeclared class war be declared. Ever seen the movie "A Bug's Life"?</EM><BR/><BR/>Having raped America, it's elite now proposes to live off of it like ticks on a bloated corpse. I have NO USE for the stupid, uncultured elite of pigs that has been created and nurtured by the likes of Bush, Reagan and the rest of the GOP. <BR/><BR/>Diane B said...<BR/><BR/>And, sadly, the poor folk in nearby towns will celebrate the location of the bases near their communities. See my comments above. <BR/><BR/>We are living in the last days of the evil empire that the GOP has made of America. A pox on that goddamn party and may the bastards rot in hell.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps my next article should be "How the GOP LOOTED America".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598093941551759917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19580203.post-82470405642434810292007-08-28T20:07:00.000-07:002007-08-28T20:07:00.000-07:00Today on Buzz Flash, there is an interesting artic...Today on Buzz Flash, there is an interesting article about how Blackhawk is building airbases in the Coastal cities of the US!
