Liberal Rant due to Congress Inaction


WARNING: If you are not a liberal you will be offended!  I am tired of conservatives that say taxing the richest 1% is a redistribution of wealth, is socialist, and is communist.  A redistribution of wealth has been occurring for more than 30 years, which has given the wealthiest 1% a 275% growth in their wealth.  I believe that this redistribution of wealth to the wealthiest is criminal and immoral!  I might as well write them a check for what is in my savings and investments.  I pay a higher percent of my income toward taxes than many in the wealthiest 1%.  Our President has asked Congress to enact legislation to tax the wealthiest 1% at a higher level.  68% of Americans agree with him and want it enacted.  So what is the problem with our Congress?  The problem is they are part of the 1% and only care about themselves.  So they continue to be the do nothing Congress.  They don’t represent the rest of us working stiffs or retired folks (me).

I am shocked about support for Cain and his 9 – 9 – 9 taxation plan.  47 million Americans pay no federal taxes because their income is too low.  But Mr. Cain wants them to start paying 9% of their income to the federal government and he wants to lower taxes on the wealthiest Americans.  When are the rest of us going to wake up to this craziness? 

Alan says I need a soapbox to do my rant.  But where do I drag the soapbox so that ordinary folks will hear me.  Does anyone want to go with me to Occupy Wall Street?  I’ll do it around your schedule and share costs.  This would provide a great soapbox.  Email me privately if you are interested.

End of rant – I am still working with Magnum to socialize him with strangers.  Shadow was so happy to see him after he went with Alan to work.  I guess she is getting attached to him.  Saw Ajax on Monday and he is so sweet.  He has diaper rash from disposable diapers before diaper service started.  He is now using cloth diapers and his diaper rash is clearing up.  His dad, Tim, is great at changing diapers.
