If you are reading this, you most likely are into politics and watched the third presidential debate. In this debate McCain was trying to connect to the American public in an extremely pandering way. He kept bringing up Joe the plumber, over and over as if the only issue in
Anyway i hate Joe the plumber. Here's why, Joe the plumber should be Joe the moron, or Joe the entitled douchebag. Here are some quotes from Joe the plumber, "Redistributing the wealth, as far as my hard work, that upsets me," he said. "That's not right. That's not American." And one more than to add on top of that is that Joe the douchebag would be making more than $250,000 a year.
Anyone who makes over $250,000 a year is rich, if you could buy my house with less than a years wage you are rich. Rich people should be paying more in taxes, it's a responsibility of theirs, if they want this country to be a better place and for them to make more money they need to invest in this country not in sending jobs overseas to exploit poor people in poor countries, and destroy their environment and kill their people, just because it's "cheaper". Life isn't cheap and it shouldn't be thought of as commodity.
Oh and Joe the moron, redistribution of wealth is American and always has been. In 1917 the highest tax bracket paid 67% in income tax, by World War Two it was 79%, nowadays those same CEO's pay a piddly 33%. If you make 25 million a year you are taxed at 33%, that leaves you with 16.75 million, who needs that much money? If you were taxed at the rate from 1917 you'd have 8.25 million dollars, and if you were taxed at the rate at the beginning of World War Two you'd still have 5.25 million dollars. I'm sorry if that's not enough money for you, you should be placed in
Here are some quotes for Joe the ignoramus about taxes from our greatest president and one of the Founding Fathers:
"Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by
the individual." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1784.
"Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is
to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the
higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they
rise." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1785.
There is your American, someone willing to stand up and do what is right for others and pay their fair share.
Fuck You Joe.
