David Axelrod Strains To Explain Obama’s Multiple Explanations On Buffett Tax [2:54]
On April 15, 2012 “Fox News Sunday”, Obama’s campaign adviser struggled to explain the the inexplicable. I.e., how the Buffett Rule could have any effect whatsoever on the national debt.
The only coherent point Axelrod seemed to make was the usual Leftie whine about how it’s NOT FAAAAIRRRRR! for millionaires to pay a lower tax rate. As per usual, the Left is setting up straw men just so they can knock them down again, score some political points, further inflame their cherished class warfare and maybe, just maybe, keep people from talking too much about what an utter disaster the current Democratic leadership has been.
As a careful listening to this video shows, the Buffett Rule has nothing to do with the national debt. Axelrod’s whole premise is that rich people get some kind of slippery slimy benefit just because they’re rich.
This is TOTALLY FALSE. All Americans are subject to the exact same tax law.
The very idea that the law should be used to punish a selected group of citizens is ludicrous and un-American. We’re supposed to be equal under the law. Let’s turn the tables on the Leftists and imagine using taxes to punish a different group of Americans.
If you go look at the national debt clock @ http://www.usdebtclock.org/, you’ll see a number labeled “Debt Per Citizen.”
Since every abortion deprives us of a citizen to help pay down the debt, I think it would only be fair to add a 50% surcharge to each procedure to help defray this loss.
Then, since post-abortive women have deprived society of children to support them in their old age, I think we should charge them progressively higher income tax rates for each abortion for the rest of their lives to help defray the cost to the rest of us of caring for them in their old age.
