.....that's when you vote Democrat.
1.Everybody knows they are called the
"tax and spend Democrats."
The NYTimes wrote this about the guy you called God, Jesus and the messiah...
"But he did identify what he called “tactical lessons.” He let himself look too much like “the same old tax-and-spend liberal Democrat.”

2. On he one hand, the Democrats and their allies in the media tell you that it's patriotic to pay taxes, and keep blaring about
the rich paying 'their fair share.'
Here, in America, there is no perennial class of 'the rich.'
"...economic mobility. About 60 percent of the households that were in the lowest income quintile in 1999 were in a higher quintile ten years later. During the same decade, almost 40 percent of the richest households fell to a lower quintile. This is a nation where you can rise or fall. It is a nation where you can climb the economic ladder based not on who you are born to, or what class you are born into, but based on your talents, your passion, your perseverance, and the content of your character."

3. ....and they never tell you
what the government's "fair share" of your earnings are.
I have posted several time about who works for whom.
In both NY and California, top earners pay over 60% of their earnings in taxes, and lots of others the same but don't realize it:
Taxes, taxation: What if you find that based on Federal taxes, state taxes, local taxes, gas tax, sales tax, parking fees, license fees, speed cameras, tolls, hidden taxes of all sorts......
....and the insidious tax, inflation.........amounted to
more than half your income at least?Taxation to the point of slavery......or, at least serfdom.
"The way to
crush the bourgeoisie is to
grind them between the millstones of
taxation and inflation.".Lenin
Democrats learned quite a bit from their forebears.
Weren't we taught that the government works for us?????
4. Taxes are not for infrastructure, or any of the other vague promises. They are for buying votes for the politicians.
5. And taxes hurt the working public far, far more than they help.
"... a budget deal that included a 10 percent tax on luxury items costing $100,000 or more. This tax became known as the “yacht tax.” There’s a wise old saying that Democrats repeatedly ignore: “You get less of what you tax and more of what you don’t.”
In the years before the tax was enacted, American boat builders were annually producing up to 16,000 yachts costing $100,000 or more. One year after the yacht tax was passed, that number sank to 4,250.
My home state of Rhode Island lost 12,000 jobs that were directly or indirectly tied to yacht sales. My father’s yacht brokerage business was devastated—and so was I, because I worked in a boatyard during the summer, cleaning and maintaining boats. The tax took a heavy toll on my income.
The yacht tax was supposed to soak the rich. But the rich didn’t get soaked— they just stopped buying yachts. Who got hurt? Working people—people like me. From that experience, I learned the direct impact of federal tax policy on ordinary working people. That lesson cemented my conservative values at an early age. It’s one of the reasons why, when I hear Democratic proposals to tax and spend, alarms go off in my mind."
