I read an article today about "The Buffet Rule".
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/09/class-warfare-republicans-blast-obamas-buffett-rule/
The Buffet Rule, as it's being called, is an economic proposal coming from President Obama which comes from statements made by Warren Buffet, one of the wealthiest men in the world ($44 billion net worth according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett).
Buffet has said that his secretary makes $60,000 a year and pays 29% in taxes. Buffet makes $46 million a year and pays 17% in taxes. Buffet has suggested that the wealthiest Americans should be taxed more. Obama's "Buffet Rule" states that those people making over one million dollars annually should be taxed at the same level as middle-class Americans. In other words, Warren Buffet's secretary gets taxed 29%, and Warren Buffet gets taxed 29%.
What's interesting (read: fucking stupid as fucking hell) about the article I was reading is the following post. A user by the name of "irishrose" posted this response to the article about Obama's economic plan to help get America out of it's financial hole:
He [Obama] just wants to take everyone’s money. First it will be the millionaires, then the working class, then the poverty class. He is trying to turn this country into a communistic nation. What he needs to do is give credits to all the companies that have their money offshore so that they will bring it back to the US

So the thought is that we should reward those businesses that have left our country?
Maybe I'm just too stupid to understand the reasoning put forward by irishrose. Lemme think about it for a second.
I have a business.
I move the business.
The country where I had the business gives me money.
At which point, my thought is probably, "You're the dumbest fucking country in the history of ever!"
Maybe I'm not giving irishrose enough credit. Maybe irishrose is suggesting that we give incentives to companies that have moved away in the hopes that they will come back and save us all with their money and jobs. So rather than simply just handing away the credit, as irishrose is actually suggesting, the credit would be given to companies once they return to the US, which might be what irishrose intended. If this is what irishrose intended, I will go ahead and say "your welcome" for being able to interpret your intentions and turn them in to actual communication. If this is what irishrose intended-- giving credits to companies who return to us after leaving us-- I would say, fuck that noise! Let's put it like this: there's a woman named USA, and she is married to a man named Corporation. Corporation leaves USA, causing USA financial difficulties. USA then writes a letter to Corporation to the tune of, "If you come back to me, I'll suck your dick." Corporation reads this letter calmly, as he's already getting head from some chick he met in his new country, as well as having several small boys licking his asshole, and he thinks, "USA sure is stupid to think that they have something I want or need. I was there before, and I left for a reason. That reason is that chicks and small boys in this new country are sucking me off and cleaning my ass with their tongues. If USA really wanted me back, she would do let me fuck her in the ass. So maybe I'll try to fuck USA in the ass. Boy, I love all the power that I have!" Then Corporation lovingly pushes a small boy inside his asshole, because he enjoys the sensation of child-struggles on his prostate. And then he eats a cigar and laughs.
Or another way of thinking about it:
Your child does something you don't approve of.
So you reward that child???
What the fuck is wrong with you, irishrose?! You retarded fucking piece of shit! People like you should be crucified and slaughtered publicly! Your parents and children should be murdered with dull, metal objects to help insure your Monumental Dumbness doesn't pollute anyone else!
I don't understand why people are so stupid.
I don't understand why people would be outraged about everybody having the same tax rate.
I don't understand, and I feel like this nation is headed for a meltdown. We're going to collapse on ourselves, like the top of a fountain of water, and those who are struggling will have nothing to lose, so why not revolt? People are going to fight to survive, and there's a big difference between surviving and going without your Pilate's class. There are people who are starving, while others are throwing away huge portions of food because their kids asked for white chocolate, not milk chocolate for the chocolate fondue machine we got for Easter, so we had to go out and buy another 85 tons of chocolate. Big difference between starving and chocolate fondue. And while I'm not a fan of the term or concept "redistribution of wealth", I am a fan of everyone pays to play. You wanna play, you have to pay. And right now, millionaires aren't paying. And they're taking the government to court in the hopes that they will continue to not pay.
That just made me think-- hey, don't raise taxes on the rich. They don't have to pay any more taxes than anybody else. But if they don't pay taxes, they have to be deported. I mean, why should they get what this country is offering when they're not paying for it? And, obviously, the theory of these large corporations being "Job Creators" is a fucking load of fuck. If it was true, then they would have actually created jobs, which they haven't. So fuck them. And fuck everybody. And fucking fuck!! FUCK!!! FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!
