Unless you have spent the last four years lost in a Peruvian rainstorm,
holed up in an ice house above the Arctic Circle, or eking out a meager
existence in a hut somewhere in Kenya, you are keenly aware that the
American economy is currently swirling in the bottom of the loo.
Everywhere you look people are losing their businesses, their jobs, their
cars, their homes, and even their retirement savings. Things are bad all
over, getting worse, and there is no *real* economic recovery anywhere on
the horizon. Of course, it stands to reason that poverty levels are going to
rise in bad economic times such as these, and we are now seeing that
happen<http://news.yahoo.com/nearly-1-6-americans-poverty-census-says-184424635.html>
.
But fret not America, as our Dear Ruler (who has been focusing on our
economy like a laser since January 20, 2001) has come up with a sure-fire
tax solution that, if implemented, is going to really turn things around and
make just about everything better.
It will also help pay for his latest goonion payo..., oops, I meant
"stimulus" proposal.
Just what is it he is looking to tax, you ask?
No, it is not the eeeeeeevil rich, nor those big, nasty, greedy corporations
he wants to go after now. He is not looking to stick it to fat-cat trial
lawyers, doctors, SUV drivers, nor aircraft and yacht owners. It is not your
adult beverage, cigars, cigarettes, or the gasoline you put in your car.
This time around he is not even looking to further hose the hapless small
business owner struggling to hammer out a decent living for themselves and
their families.
He wants to, get this, tax...soup
kitchens<http://majorityleader.gov/blog/2011/09/president-obamas-tax-on-soup-kitchens.html>
.
Not directly, of course, but he wants to end a certain amount of current tax
deductions for charitable contributions - not just those going to soup
kitchens, but to a lot of other private charities, as well.
Good going, Barry.
For the moment, it appears this latest lame idea of his isn't going to get
very far, even among members of Obama's own party, but when it comes to this
bunch of congressional critters, you just never know. We could very well
wind up with a 100% federal tax on Ramen noodles and dried beans - both of
which my local Publix has been running low on in recent months. Not a good
sign there.
I have long sensed a certain hostility toward private charities by some in
government, particularly from those of the leftward persuasion. In a way it
makes perfect sense, as it is much more difficult to buy the votes of those
who are not receiving some form of a government handout.
