I’ve been seeing a LOT of this sentiment making the rounds lately. The moronic point being that since you don’t have $100 million yourself, who cares if the rapacious socialist state is going to steal 25% of unrealized gains on those who do:
Ho ho ho! So funny! It is to laugh!
I’ve got some good jokes too in the same vein:
“I’m not a jew so what do I care if the Nazis gas the jews! Fuck em!”
“I’m not black, so who cares if the cops are shooting black guys!” (not a true statistic, but I’m making a point)
“I never buy Boar’s Head deli meat, so fuck those idiots who are! Who cares if they die from listeria! Ho ho ho!”
Right Comrade?? (We’ll get to Boar’s Head in the next post).
If you actually think the government is going to stop at $100 million, you are an imbecile of biblical proportions. Soon enough it will be $50 million. Then $10 million. Then $5 million – which (thanks to inflation) will be the “value” of your own house before you know it and you’ll be paying a national property tax on it every year.
Why? Because at that point the shitlibs have ALREADY granted the government the notion that it’s OK to steal like this – and from then on, it’s just a matter of haggling over the levels.
How do I know it’ll go down like this? Because that is EXACTLY how it went down with the income tax. Here is some history for the shitlibs:
Gold was valued at a fixed exchange rate of $20.67/oz in 1916. The average annual income was roughly $600. A single household earner was able to produce that income.
In other words, a typical husband earned 30 ounces of gold per year.
The income taxwas sold to voters as a very modest tax on wealthy households, applied only to incomes over $3,000.00 at a rate of 1%. People who earned more than the equivalent of 150 ounces of gold per year paid 1% of income in excess of that amount.
(Had incomes kept up with gold, those 30 ozs per year would translate to roughly $75,000 in today’s dollars with gold at $2,500/oz. Unfortunately, they have not kept up. The average salary today is roughly $60,000 or 24 ounces, i.e. 20% below what it was all those decades ago.)
If the IRS had indexed the original threshold income tax to gold, only those earners above $360,000/year would be paying income tax today. The sad reality is that NOW, anyone with adjusted gross income must pay, and the income tax rates begin at 10% – not 1%.
Those considered wealthy as defined in 1913 pay at least a 35% rate now...or THIRTY-FIVE TIMES HIGHER than when they sold this idea to Americans.
Read that again: the way they sold it back then was a ONE PERCENT TAX on people earning over $360,000 in today’s terms. Now look at the abomination it has become today. You can bet that back in 1915 there were envious, socialist scumbags saying the SAME THING they are saying today: “I don’t make over $360,000 so who cares? Fuck em! Soak em!!” – and now we’re ALL getting bent over.
[And don’t forget that 43 U.S. states have their own income taxes also, compounding the burden.]
Today’s system is far from what was sold to Americans. Kamala’s idiotic “wealth tax” is EXACTLY the same trick. Once the nose of the camel is under the tent, the rest of him comes in eventually.
But envious morons like Clayton Tucker don’t care about that. They will gladly destroy the future of America just to get “payback” NOW against those they (wrongfully) think have slighted them by succeeding.
Here is Clayton Tucker, Tina Seefeldt, Grady Lucas and Bruce Haywood summed up in a nutshell…it’s why they are chomping at the bit to steal from others:
