Supporting him as president is being patriotic
And according to the new president, paying taxes is also “patriotic”. I will never be supportive of anyone who runs his campaign on the promise of jacking up every “rich persons” taxes and giving it to people who already don’t pay taxes to begin with. I don’t want my wealth “spread around”, I want the fruits of my labor to be mine regardless of whether I make $20,000 or $200,000.
Oh btw, the Obama definition of “rich” is now $150,000. It managed to drop 40% in a month. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have already held votes on bills that would raise taxes on *households* making $42,000 and up. Obama voted in “yes” to that tax increase. So if you compare his campaign rhetoric with how he’s actually voted, we’re all “rich” after we graduate and all our taxes will go up. Somehow the 5% no one thought they were apart of magically turns in to the 95% no one can find their way out of.
For you socialists out there, answer me this. If I earn minimum wage because I dropped out of high school and never made anything of myself, how does that entitle me to a portion of someone else’s income for the rest of my life?
