Why do Liberal Americans hate rich people?
Day in and day out in the media you will find some new comment, opinion or action trying to slam it to the "rich". Apparently people with any amount of money over what John Doe earns have no right or reason to benefit from the Nation they live in. Routinely the rich are thrown under the bus in some adolescent attempt to create complete and total class warfare.
The rich, that rag tag group of folks that pay the bulk share of American taxes that help fuel the glutton government. The rich, the same group that donates more money collectively than any nation in the world. The rich, that company or person you currently work for. The rich, the guy across the street with a nicer car than you. The rich, those selfish individuals who spend their days buying investments in the world. The rich, the ultimate scapegoat.
Here are just a few recent headlines slamming the "rich":
- USA Today - There shouldn't be tax holidays because they only benefit the wealthy
- Fox News - Healthy eating is a privilege of the Rich
- New York Times - Higher Taxes on the Rich
- Mansfield Journal - Wealthy need to pay their fair share
That is just what I could dig up in about 5 minutes. So why is it that a group that take so little of the Government cheese are requested, no, demanded, to pay their "fair share". Whatever Fair Share is?
Nobody ever seems to account for the business owner, or investment banker, that started out on their own at 23 to make their own way. Spending the vast majority of their time and intelligence trying to make a dime, and when they finally do, watching hundreds of thousands of their hard earned dollars go to a group of people known as the US Government, who in turn demands more.
The issue is not with "the rich", the issue is in the way the United States chooses to create revenue. The tax structure, or lack of, is the problem. The current model is a class based disaster. It essentially pins those who earn a great deal against those who don't. Essentially waving any and all income taxation from nearly 50% of the population. And while everyone is demanded to pay day to day taxes on every thing from fuel to drinks, only the "rich" are left to pay the bulk of the tax need.
What America needs is to remove the income tax and only charge tax on purchased items, or when the citizen decides to spend. By creating a National Sales Tax and eliminating all forms of income tax, America could see substantial profit and finally, we all would be paying our fair share as Liberals love to put it.
