Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
TOM DASCHLES' UNKINDEST CUT
What they leave out speaks volumes
By Ron Marr
3/7/2001
Politicians should receive awards for idiotic stunts, sleazy
machinations and purposeful deceptions in the same way actors receive Oscars
for box office blockbusters, PC epics, and cinematic celebrations of
perversity. It's only fitting that America recognize "public servants" whose
goal is to stimulate class warfare, fire the flames of racial hatred and
foster animosity towards the financially successful.
For instance, the award for "Most Racist Comment Uttered By A Senator On
National TV But Pretty Much Ignored By The Press AND The NAACP 'Cause He's A
Democrat," would go to Senator Robert Byrd for his use of the odious phrase
"White Nigger" during a recent Fox News interview. Can you imagine the
firestorm if Jesse Helms had said that? The press would have set a Guinness
record for knot-tying in their rush to lynch the guy.
I'm curious. Where's the outrage of Teddy Kennedy over Byrd's comment?
He assaulted John Ashcroft without a shred of evidence that he harbored
racist viewpoints? Why the silence now? Could Teddy be a hypocrite? Surely
not.
The award for "Best Imitation Of The Robot From The Original 'Lost In
Space' Series" would be presented to Al Gore. The award for "Best
Performance By A Poorly Made Ventriloquist's Dummy Lacking Eyebrows" would be
given to Dick Gephart. Last but not least, the nod for "Most Pathetic Use Of
Visual Aids In An Attempt To Con The Public" would be the undisputed property
of South Dakota's radical lib in non-residence, Senator Tom Daschle.
Did anybody else raise eyebrows over Daschle's ludicrous claim that rich
Americans would get a tax refund big enough to buy a new Lexus, while poor
Americans would receive only enough cash for a muffler? Give me a break;
NOBODY is getting a refund, despite how the Democrats paint it. George W
Bush's plan is about reducing tax rates, allowing people to recoup some of
the tax overcharge perpetrated by that Arkie who was partial to fat chicks,
rich fugitives and restricted country clubs. Daschle's dog and pony show was
a typically liberal attempt to kill long overdue tax reduction via the
politics of class hatred.
The man has been going around claiming Bush's tax cut is unfair, that
the rich benefit more than the poor. Let's carefully review his words and
discover the truth.
A press release Daschle put out on February 27th claims 63% of South
Dakotans earn under $30,000 a year. He asserts that many of those individuals
would receive little or no relief under the Bush tax plan. If viewed from one
perspective this is a true statement. However, as we have learned over the
past eight years, any statement from a Democrat politician must be dissected
inch by inch.
Yes, 63% of South Dakotans earn less than $30,000 a year. In fact,
quite a few of those folks earn so much less that THEY CURRENTLY PAY NO
TAXES! People who don't pay taxes do not get tax relief because THEY CAN'T
PAY LESS THAN NOTHING! That a person does not make enough money to pay taxes
is not the fault or responsibility of government. That's life, and upgrading
one's economic circumstance is a matter of ambition and personal
responsibility. Recent Columns
Democrats would disagree. They would rather the hard-earned money of tax
paying, working people go towards supporting the sloth of non-tax paying,
non-working people. Why? Because the majority of non-tax paying, non-working
people overwhelmingly vote a straight Democratic ticket.
Daschle also regurgitates the Gore campaign phrase that the top 1% of
taxpayers would receive 43% of all tax relief. The Senator said "why should a
New York investment banker making $915,000 a year receive a $46,000 tax cut,
while an Aberdeen firefighter making $25,000 gets no relief at all?"
Again, this is an effective statement...as long as you properly neglect
relevant facts. Daschle forgot to mention that the New York banker probably
paid $350,000 or more in taxes last year. Next year, under the Bush tax plan,
he would still pay roughly $300,000. Daschle also doesn't tell you how much
tax the firefighter paid. Did he pay anything? Maybe he depreciated both his
firetruck and his Dalmation. How many kids does he have? Did he have enough
deductions that he paid nothing?
Tom forgot to provide those details. How convenient.
What we have here is a perfect example of the Democratic agenda. Their
motivating goal is to punish success, to discourage people from striving, to
prohibit those who have done well from passing their legacy on to their
children. The Democratic agenda - as espoused by Daschle - is the failed,
Socialistic concept of wealth redistribution. He and his party
believe the government should control the personal income of the middle and
upper classes, and dole it out to the least productive and least ambitious
members of society as THEY see fit . This is not surprising, as the least
productive and least ambitious members of society are the backbone of the
Democratic constituency.
Daschle and the Democrats don't want fairness for all people, for that
would require fairness to those of all political stripes and economic
stations. All they want is YOUR money.
Why do they want your money? That's easy.
So they can buy themselves votes.
