If you don't, it won't have as many signatures as the impeach Obama petition, which would be sad :(<br /><br />And yes, let's penalize 1% to help the other 99%. That would be revolutionary. Do you think, Anon, that the "rich" would join you in your revolution?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-43475823169754637842009-07-11T13:12:22.822-05:002009-07-11T13:12:22.822-05:00Great article that I wish was being read by all am...Great article that I wish was being read by all americans instead of a handful.<br /><br />There are more points to be made.<br /><br />1) The US economy is 70% consumer based.<br /><br />2) The top 10% income earners consume 50% of all US goods and services<br /><br />Looking at 1 and 2 lets you see that as you take away MORE from the top 10% income earners, they will consume less. Since our economy is consumer based, that directly impacts the economy adversely. Furthermore, those evil "rich" also are the main employers. Continue to soak them, they will work less, hire fewer employees, take away benefits and keep salaries as low as possible. Great liberal policies eh?<br /><br />Now the REAL problem is that the producers now have no where to go. It's one thing to leave Michigan and California to more tax friendly states, but where do we go now that the US is the most heavily taxed nation on the planet? I mean it is a complete change in culture, values, ethnicity etc. to relocate to Hinduras, Ireland, etc. This is why I believe options number 2 and 3 are more likely, and are closer than people think. Seccession or revolution. Gun and ammo sales are at record levels for a reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
