Subject: RE: BS: Tax the rich? (Sorry if already posted)
Nice try Gnu but not quite right.

It has always been that the 1st four who were said to have drunk all night for nothing actually cashed their checkes at the bar before hand & were really drinking on credit, their bar bill was big enough to cover the last 5 who in reality had pockets full of cash but said nothing & they were the ones drinking for free, the 5th guy was the one to leave the barman a tip & he was decent about it but the amount of the tip was only 20% of the 1st four's total. So the 1st 5 paid for themselves & it's the wealthier last 5, who again drank all night for nothing & the only thing they left behind was a good story for the bartender who owned the watering hole. So when the bar decieded that they'd no longer cash the checks of the poorest nor give them credit, the richest last 4 made a deal & told the 1st four that if they'd sign over their checks to them that they could continue drink at the bar for free. So it was agreed to & the 1st four signed over their hard earned checks & drank the night away the last 4 also drank the night away, for free as they had been before but now the bartender was a bit upset because he was cut out of the deal, so he told the middle guy he had to cover the amount the the bartender used to get which was as much as the total of the checks of the 1st four. Then the bartender deceided that he'd up the price of the drinks & started charging the poorer 2 of the last 4 richest. Now we have a fair view of how our tax system is really run. The top 2 drink for free as always & the other 8 pay the bill & have all eventually come into poorer class with no one in the middle any more.
Unknown to the all but the two richest, the bartender & those 2 richest were in league with each other all along.

Their are so many corporations that pay no taxes & manuy more hat pay very little while reaping the harvest that's from the labor's of the lower classes. It's the lower class that's been shouldering the burden for the wealthy so why should "we" keep supporting "them", it's high time that someone has called the tax system on it's unleveled levie.

If anyone thinks that the rich & mighty have been paying their fair share of the tax burden I've got a bridge to sell you. It has always been they make the money & then they tax US, the one's who labored so that they could profit. Obama is the 1st of any high ranking official that I can think of who has ever made any move to reverse this tax phenomenon.
"Little bee sucks the blossom, big bee gets the honey
Little man raises cotton, big man gets the money".

We get back $600 from Bush & the wealthy get back the lion's share. So we pay into the system far more & make far less & when a tax break rolls around we see a drop in the bucket while they get to keep the rest along with the buckets & the trucks that the buckest rolled in on, whoops, & did I mention that we had to pay the gas & other transportation costs of getting the buckets in the trucks to their final destination points.
