You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.Making the poor poorer doesn't help
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.increasing the disparity between wages hurt.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.Hard to save when you don't have anything
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.No, but the highest wge earners should pay the most taxes.The most robust economy was when the rich were taxed at 95%.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.nobody is inciting class hatred,nobody.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.nobody is taking away initiative or independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.- although the poor could use a hand now and then
You really make this way too easy.
I'm going to categorically refute if not destroy your arguments on each and every one of these issues.
1.
Making the poor poorer doesn't help- Whom is responsible for the poor remaining poor or causing the middle-class to be poor. Answer: People that dream up programs designed to keep the poor in their current state and programs that cause the middle-class to lose their jobs by the millions.
2.
increasing the disparity between wages hurt- Complete equality in pay does only one thing....even out the suffering all of us feel. You need wage earners and wage payers.
3.
Hard to save when you don't have anything- By giving everyone the scraps that the government chooses to give out you discourage savings. People learn to accept their plight and just exist not flurrish. There are private relief organizations out there. When more people are wealthy they tend to donate more to these groups. That is why the US gives more then any country in the world.
4.
No, but the highest wge earners should pay the most taxes.The most robust economy was when the rich were taxed at 95%.- Care to show me proof of this claim? Turns out when the rich were taxed at 95% we had the worst economy in 30 years...the Carter years. High taxes discourages investment and growth. And by the way, the rich already pay 70% of the taxes already. The poor pay little or none.
5.
nobody is inciting class hatred,nobody- This one is too easy. Obama and the Democrats have stepped up the pressure and have been using class-warfare since the first of the year. Remember the AIG bonus debacle? All of those fat-cats collecting huge bonuses. This was broadcast all over the place with the intent on causing hatred for anyone who dares to earn what they are capable of in this country. Busloads of La Rasa and ACORN employees going house to house of Senior AIG board members.
6.
nobody is taking away initiative or independence- Another easy one. Obama and the First Lady have been discouraging excellence. Diversity and equality, economic equality across the board is preached constantly, discouraging the rich from earning, punishing businesses that took TARP money by imposing salary caps on earnings. Pushing their "Single-payer" system in the health care debate. Removing options by imposing mandates on anyone who chooses not to get insurance or buy a "Public Option". They want us to have only one option, their shitty option.
7.
although the poor could use a hand now and then- The poor already are getting a hand. What Obama and the Democrats want to do is put all of us, not just the poor, under their influence. They want to remove our incentive by raising taxes on everything to the point were it doesn't pay to work. They want to make all of us equally dependent on government assistance. Then they want to have the right to say who gets it and who doesn't.
