"Progressives want to raise taxes on individuals who make more than $200,000 a year because they say it's wrong for the rich to be 'given' more money. Sunday's New York Times carries a cartoon showing Uncle Sam handing money to a fat cat. They just don't get it. As I've said before, a tax cut is not a handout. It simply means government steals less. What progressives want to do is take money from some -- by force -- and spend it on others. It sounds less noble when plainly stated." --columnist John Stossel
People have to be vigilant to look through the curtain of fancy rhetoric, and see things for what they really are.
I am not the most religious person, and I am definitely not a biblical scholar, but I have a hard time believing that stealing money someone earned to give it to someone else who has not earned it is a moral act and a Christian concept... That's like saying getting robbed is an act of charity on the part of the victim.
Penalizing someone because they are TOO successful really doesn't make any sense to me. (And who decides when a person is too successful? Based on what criteria?
Just something to think about...
