"....& NOT AS I DO".
by N.R. Filidei (December 1, 2005)

Ever wonder why exceptionally wealthy leaders, corporate heads, notables and such in America often propagate so hypocritically as they do?

I most certainly do, and in fact think it even more wondrous that so many Americans ACTUALLY BELIEVE such continuously never ending and quite obviously purposeful political bull, quite adnauseamly and non-stop (like: "Energizer Bunnies") emanating from such on a daily basis.

Plus, and that so many followers pretty-much adore and venerate such pompously-lordly hypocrits as if some-sort-of-gods,...is also truly quite amazing. Guess that even some people like being perpetually led around by the nose?

Though, and whether just naive, easily duped or whatever else causes so many Americans to be herdlike manipulated aside, recently it has been exposed that two of the biggest names in America epitomise such public gods, as alluded to. Such being the quite rich Leftist Democrat Gurus Soros and Kennedy.

Soros a multi-BILLIONAIRE and The Kennedy Clan multi-MILLIONAIRES worth about $500 MILLION or so in ever increasing incomes, interests, dividends, capital gains, trusts or whatever,...both continually and incessantly propagate, instigate or advocate that The American People be taxed MUCH MORE severely, and/or as normally done in Socialist Nations.
WOW!!! Talk about that: "Do as I say & NOT AS I DO" hypocritical quip.

Regardless, let's forget about Citizen Soros. After all, and given his vast fortune in holdings and enterprises being so international, and his vast wealth being spread-out or dispersed offshore and worldwide,...God only knows (maybe?) what Soros's American Tax Burden would rightfully be?

However, and even though similarly funneling assets offshore and in foreign countries, the head of The Clan Senator Kennedy's tax burden is reasonably accessible since still a Public Official and still on The Public's Payroll. Such having recently been disclosed at about $108,000 or so yearly.
Absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-UL.

If interested People (?),...an even $100,000 yearly tax burden on an exact $500 MILLION in assets comes out to .0002 percent and/or TWO TEN THOUSANDTHS of a percent.

Would that: "We The (Schnooks)" and/or the rest of American Taxpayers or relative peasants in the equation here, suffered such a small percentage in taxes every year. WOW!!! again,...and so much for EQUALITY in a nation founded on the premise of having no Preferential Class or being: "A Classless Society", and/or that All Citizens in America are: "Created Equal" in this theoretical democracy (all some jokes) and as touted ONLY CORRECT way of governing,...both here and worldwide.

Whatever, and doubt my mathematics and reasonings for being outraged over wealthy Democrat or Republican connivers and/or Tax Avoiders/Evaders in general FAIRING BETTER than most? Well then, let's just put things in a more understandable perspective below Mount Olympus or amongst us Plain Folks down here,...and ponder the following.

If The Poorest of Americans with no income, no savings and no assets whatsoever are fortunate enough winning only ONE MILLION DOLLARS from their State Lottery, and opt being paid: "Cash" and not; "Annuity",...the tax burden automatically taken out would be $500,000. No ifs, ands or buts.

For the not very mathematical,...that's A ONE HALF tax rate.
Plus, one can bet ones bippy that most likely any Welfare Monies previously paid such a Lucky Winner would also have to be paid back,...if stupid enough to hang-around and not wisely run-off and getting: "Lost in America",...and as if from New Orleans.

So then, I guess it's fair saying that it actually doesn't matter which Party Rules America? "The Rich get Richer and The (Middle Class always end-up getting the short end of the stick)" in America. In fairness though, such is actually a worldwide commonality. The Rich Class always stay Rich, and the used and abused Working Class always just stay so,...unless hitting a lottery.

Whatever, The Poor, plain Wealthy or Fithy Rich Ruling Elite in America never suffer financially. ONLY America's Middle Class Subjects, Citizens and/or Peasant WORKERS unfortunately and quite normally do.
Amen, So be it, or So it is written.

What is really scary is the shrinking middle class. The middle class is a democratizing influence as well as the driving force of economic growth (even tho the rich do get richer). What will happen when the middle class is gone? Dictatorship & serfdom, anarchy, revolution???

[Army_Brat84]

Neil,

Are you referring to George Soros?

Don't take the rich getting richer as a bad thing, because that is what leads to these people like Kennedy and Soros to call for more taxes on the rich. Why should persons be punished for being successful? I think if you look at the rich now, most have made their wealth through hard work and good luck, not inheriting it like Kennedy. They should not be punished just because they work hard. Economically, higher taxes on the rich actually hurt the economy because they can't invest back into their company to increase production or improve it, which will lead to hiring more workers. When the rich get richer, everybody wins because more money can be circulated back into the economy for things like new machinery, paying workers higher wages, or hiring more workers. If you look at socialist nations, their economies are in the toilet because of high taxes. As for a shrinking middle class, I would argue that more persons are moving out of the middle class into higher tax brackets. I would disagree with the argument that the middle class is the driving force of the economy, as while they are vital, most persons who run the companies that move our economy are not middle class anymore because they have made enough money to move up the ladder.

Thank you very much.
The: "K" will be deleted.
In fairness to me, I got the: "K"
right in Kennedy.

Still, was a pretty-big mistake, and
especially for anyone named Skoros.
So, thanks again.

Neil

P.S. "Middle Class" are just words
or semantics, since most and whether
making $50 Grand a year or $350 Thou
yearly,...have their big percentages
in taxes taken-out weekly.
Plus, getting any taxes refunded from IRS
has to be on the up and up and not
all that easy.
Never so for both Soros, Kennedy and such,
and quite the opposite with vast offshore wealth.
IRS has to try and find their ACTUAL yearly incomes.

Your brought up some truly valid points or questions regarding: "Dictatorship & serfdom, anarchy, revolution???" here, since America has steadily evolved into an ACTUAL political kakistocracy more so than into an ACTUAL democracy,...even though greatly touted as a democracy both here and worldwide.

Regardless, and in what first started out as A Representative Republic, don't see much concern needed over America becoming a: "Serfdom", or suffering; "Anarchy" or "Revolution".

Serdom and anarchy just aren't politically-correct and a revolution is no longer possible, since The People here have been so purposefully confused and politically divided (divided all other ways also) over the years by Ruling Elite. Therefore, a revolution and/or uniting ONE CAMP against ANOTHER, just isn't very feasible. 15-20 CAMPS against 15-20 OTHER CAMPS,...of course.

Hell,...currently Americans can't even be united against mass-murdering muslim scum HAVING ATTACKED US. That surely sez something.

Typically deceptive Big Brother ploys for better control and obedience from the masses aside, you might have something with that eventual: "Dictatorship" bit? After all, it should be realized that We are pretty-much a politically socialistic dictatorship, already.

FREE? Yeah, sure. Unless: "Connected", affiliated somehow, or just extremely wealthy, We American Subjects or Peasants are basically FREE to quite politically-correctly do as told. Nothing more, nothing less.

REMEMBER Folks,...prior to America's forced-upon: "Sensitivity Classes", RE-Indoctrinations and/or required classes for politically-incorrect type thinking people (actually those differently thinking for themselves),...ONLY STRINGENT DICTATORSHIPS used to have such or where ALL must be taught to robotically think as ONE (actually like masters insist).

Still Advisor, and while on this dictatorship vein, such got me thinking about one you left out and/or A Military Coup. It amazes me to this very day that during The Clinton Lordly Regime or The "Slick Willy" Fun & Frolic Rule or Era,...that America didn't actually have a military coup, just like so many South and Central American Nations normally have and have had. Don't know about "Them"? But, was surely needed here.

Granted, We Americans would miss out on our daily and never ending and/or perpetually despicable campaign carnival,...if ever a coup. But, so what?

In fairness, here such a coup would've at least made some national sovereignty and national survival sense. Whereas coups in South and Central America were/are pulled-off strictly for achieving political power and control over the masses ONLY.

Whatever, and also in fairness to South and Central American Rulers,...at least they don't waste most every minute of every day in office campaigning or campaign fund raising.
Would that America's: "Democrats/Socialists/Leftists posing as Liberals" officials, ex-officials and perpetual wartime underminers were just as governing oriented, INSTEAD. This might be a better place, and America might once again regain its sovereignty from both Mexico and UN type thinking Fools??

What do you all think about Steve Forbes' flat tax?

[Advisor]

I don't!!!!!!!!!

[SuperScout]

I do!!!! As long as we get rid of the current taxation system and the IRS simultaneously. Gonna buy Neil Boortz' book this week and study up more.

[reconeil]

Gotsta go along with SuperScout,...PLUS.

If I understand The Flat Rate Tax correctly, such
is the best thing to ever come down the pike
for The Middle Class and/or only ones getting
rocked on their heels by Taxes.

The Poor don't care either way since don't pay
taxes either way. Poor only recipients of tax monies.

The exceptionally wealthy like Soros and Kennedy
of the initial posting here are mainly whom would
find The Flat Tax Rate QUITE TROUBLING,...
since no more loopholes would mean that much
more taxes would have to be paid by such,
than normally accustomed to.

The only thing about "It" confusing to me,...is why
some rich yokel like Forbes is pushing for such?
Such would no doubt cost him...BUNDLES?

Regardless,...bet The Kennedy Klan would end up paying
MUCH MORE than only $108,000. yearly?
Many other of The Big Boys also, without standard loopholes.
Wouldn't you think so?
