What do you think “govern” means?
It doesn’t mean “suggest” or “implore”.
It doesn’t mean two people sitting down,
talking it over, and compromising.
“Govern” means “force” and “force” means
“violence.” When you advocate any government
action, you must first believe that violence is
the best answer to the question at hand.
~ Allen Thornton
I’ve tried poor and I tried rich and I like rich better. It doesn’t mean that I am a bad guy.
I’ve tried poor and I tried rich and I like rich better. It doesn’t mean that I am a bad guy. I didn’t go in to business to create a public policy success for either party, Republican or Democrat. I went in business to create jobs and opportunity, create opportunity, create value for myself and my investors. And that’s what the president should be praising, not demagoguing us simply because Warren Buffet says he pays more than his secretary. He should pay the secretary more and she will pay more.

If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew, uh, as a janitor…Obama
If asking a billionaire to pay the same tax rate as a Jew, uh, as a janitor makes me a warrior for the working class, I wear that with a badge of honor. I have no problem with that. President Obama, September 24, 2011.
You can see it here, now why would he “slip” and say “jew” instead of “janitor”. They are nothing alike.

“Racial Loyalty” means racism
The Washington Post states in an article today that:
“There is a certain amount of racial loyalty and party loyalty, but eventually that was going to have to weaken,” said Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory University, who studies African Americans.
“Racial Loyalty”??? Is that the new PC term for racism? When the KKK and the NAZIs talk about “racial loyalty” it is negative and it should be for anyone who cares more for skin color than character.

in America the producer was protected by government in the enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. That protection of his property explains the glorious material progress already recounted. Howard Buffett
“Today’s situation is the result of an alarming and devious governmental intervention in the economic affairs of the nation for objectives not contemplated by the men who wrote the Constitution. Historically, in America the producer was protected by government in the enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. That protection of his property explains the glorious material progress already recounted. The last 40 years have seen a gigantic expansion of political power over economic affairs by the federal government. This change is linked by many scholars to the passage of the income tax law in 1913.” Howard Buffett, December 1956, Freeman
Warren Buffett, hypocrite – again
The NY Post writes:
This one’s truly, uh … rich: Billionaire Warren Buffett says folks like him should have to pay more taxes — but it turns out his firm, Berkshire Hathaway, hasn’t paid what it’s already owed for years. That’s right: As Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson notes, the company openly admits that it owes back taxes since as long ago as 2002. “We anticipate that we will resolve all adjustments proposed by the US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2002 through 2004 tax years … within the next 12 months,” the firm’s annual report says. It also cites outstanding tax issues for 2005 through 2009.
Obvious question: If Buffett really thinks he and his “mega-rich friends” should pay higher taxes, why doesn’t his firm fork over what it already owes undercurrent rates?

A question: what is the “fair share” percentage? What kind of definition of “fair” means that some people pay a higher percentage than others? It is the same definition included in Animal Farm where all animals are equal, just some animals are more equal than others.

The Hypocrite Warren Buffett Says Rich should pay more
” It’s time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice.” – Warren Buffett
As has been Buffett’s refrain for years, he wants higher taxes. But during the years of calling for higher taxes, Buffett has continually refused to put his money where is mouth is and pay more himself. In fact, Buffett uses shelters and taxes to avoid paying more taxes himself. He and Bill Gates have set up charitable foundations to avoid paying taxes on their fortunes.
Hypocrite? Of course. If you truly think you should be paying more, do not shelter tens of billions of dollars from taxes by using “loopholes” (a term used represent something legal, voted on by Congress to manipulate the uninformed). Lead by example.
How about this proposal: a wealth tax on all billionaires who voted for President Obama at 30% of their net worth. Also applied to any tax loopholes used to shelter their billions.
Fairness is equality, not equality in the animal farm sense where some are more equal than others.

Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence Ayn Rand
Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another—their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun…. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. And then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter…. Watch money. Money is the barometer of a society’s virtue. …Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it becomes, marked: ‘Account overdrawn.’ – Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
