This story has been around for a few days. “Exclusive: IRS hires “hundreds” for new wealth unit“
You heard it here first, exclusive! Expect a future update to this story, perhaps, Exclusive: IRS hires “thousands” for new squeeze the Washingtons unit. It will be a necessity with out of control Congressional spending. All of the talk about wealth and taxes is nothing but a diversion to take attention away from their run on bankrupting the country.
When health care is a reality, our national debt exceeds 14 trillion dollars, and the reality sets in that private wealth will not help, everyone will suffer. I wouldn’t gloat about some citizens in this country paying 60%, and more. I am sure we will all be there. Here’s more bad news. Wealthy citizens paying 60%, and more, are still far better off than you will be when you start paying six of every ten dollars to satisfy Congress’s voracious appetite for creating debt and tax slaves.
Here’s more bad news. Tax the wealthy at 90% and a significant number will still be wealthy. The ones that finally throw in the towel will either be competing with you for your miserable tax slave job, or, will go on the public dole. You all know what proverbally rolls down hill. You better duck because you are about to be hit by a big stinky, brown ball picking up momentum at this very moment.
We are a freedom loving people. We start plotting, at an early age, life without parents. Our freedom. Our own space. Do what we want to do when we want to do it. This is a common thread at every level of our society. Why would anyone want to submit to “father” Harry Reid, “mother” Nancy Pelosi, and a “funny” godfather like “Barney Franks.”
…and understanding the “liberal” penchant for punishing the opposition, I’ll bet that the only “wealthy” Democrats investigated by the IRS will be ones that that also donated to Republicans.
btw – You may not be able to alway reward your friends, but you can ALWAYS punish your enemies.
