Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama both claim that they are going to increase the taxes on the rich.
Do you Democrats REALLY fall for that?
I mean, seriously, you DO understand that the Clintons, Kennedy's, Pelosi's, etc all hide their huge fortunes in municipal bonds and overseas accounts that they are NEVER going to put a tax on, don't you? Very wealthy people have accountants and lawyers whose job it is to know where money can be put and not taxed, and the #1 group that these accountants and lawyers advise are the members of Congress.
Have you never wondered how these 'regular guys' who start a career in politics are suddenly multi-millionaires? In 2000, the Clintons couldn't afford their house in Chappaqua, and now they're worth about $50,000,000. Do you think they pay a 38% tax on that?
In 1976 when Carter decided to go after 'big oil' and car manufacturers with big tax demands, all he did was to drive production overseas. If you think that Hillary Clinton is going to 'take away' record incomes from Exxon/Mobil, do you not understand that Halliburton has already moved to Dubai and Exxon/Mobil can do the same much more cheaply than they can pay another 30% tax on $39 billion?
Tax the rich REALLY means go after people who make more than $100,000 but less than $1,000,000/yr, and NEVER going after anyone who has a family fortune (like the Kennedy's, Getty's, etc) who vote Democrat and use that money to fill Democrat campaign coffers. Tax the rich means "don't let a bunch of people get far enough ahead, where they can have enough disposable income to affect an election."
Honestly - do you people who want to 'tax the rich' not get this?
