If you think before just taking everything these clowns tell you at face value, you will realize how absurd this is.
The richest most influential men in the US are financially supporting Obama, including the Wall St robber Barons. So what you are saying is that these robber Barons are funding Obama’s campaign because he is going to redistribute their wealth? That makes a lot of sense doesn't it? Obama was the most vociferous advocate for using tax payer's money to bail out corporate crooks. In other words, he advocated the redistribution of wealth from the workers, the poorest layer in society, to the Wall St Bankers and financiers, the richest layer in society. Bankers of the world unite! 3 to 4 decades ago the nominal tax rate for business was around 70%, mighty high you might say. But it was realized by the capitalist class that if they wanted social harmony between the classes then certain concessions had be provided for the working classes such as free universal health care, education and a good welfare system to ensure them a reasonable standard of living. The capitalist class were still very wealthy as they extracted surplus value (profits) from each and every waged labourer. The advent Globalization and the subsequent deregulation of business created an environment that pitched one country against the other to provide the best possible conditions to attract the vast sums of capital controlled by the world's multinationals. This meant providing huge tax incentives while attacking the wages and conditions of the working-class. A recent study by the US government found that even though the tax rate is now 35% for business that because of further tax concessions made by the Bush administration, 66% of business pays little or no tax! This has now resulted in the US being the wealthiest but the most polarized nation in the world. The richest 1% of the population owns as much as the bottom 90%. It's not a simple matter of the rich taking care of everyone else. The working-class, the vast majority of humanity and the producers of ALL value, are entitled to a decent standard of living. If the rich want to hoard their obscene wealth the consequences will be civil unrest unseen since Vietnam. You can't impoverish the workers, send them to die in imperialist wars of conquest and then reward Wall St Bankers for swindling the American workers by then rewarding them with hundreds of billions of tax payer’s money and then put the burden of their malfeasance on the back of the workers and expect them to eat it. They won't. And I am counting on just that. On Oct 23, 5:15 am, Philobealo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Obamatrons argue that Obama is just taxing corporations more "like > they should be taxed." ???
