The $50 Lesson
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.
During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister some day.
Both of her parents Socialist Labor were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride!
"Wow! what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied.
So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Liberal National Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me.
Why don't the liberals who say they should pay higher taxes ever do?

I paid mine... and at least Obama and Buffet admit to the fact they aren't paying their fair share.
No.. seems all some want is red meat to "bitch" and nothing more.
We're arguing tax brackets and not who cheats the government. You want to punish the honest because the politicians are using it to buy votes from gullible people like you.
Since the Bush tax cuts the tax liability has gone towards the top, not the middle and not the bottom like they all claim. The rich are paying more than ever percentage wise.
Let's see... someone BRAVE enough to say, I'm not paying enough and provides a personal example with his own tax returns isn't respectable in your conservative world... LMAO.. Right Grace..
So if he didn't take the deductions Grace, idiots like yourself, because you have in the past, would be making the claim that he doesn't GIVE and he's a liberal.. so liberals done't give..
Grace are you that stupid for us not to see right through you?
You'd get more respect from me by coming out of the Hate closet you've locked yourself into... Just admitted Grace, you HATE Obama..
I don't hate Obama, I hate his Marxist agenda.
All you want to do is go back and forth on Obama and nothing more.
I'm not impressed... and call me whatever you want dear... It only supports my claims that you're not working with a full deck..
Lying Libs........has a ring to it, doesn't it?
Changing all of our income taxes to sales taxes would ensure even the biggest hypocrites would pay. But they'll never support it. Wonder why.
1. A 50% tax on movie tickets, concert tickets, music, DVD's, plays, etc..After all, anyone who can afford the luxury of these entertainment expenses can pay a few dollars more. And the Hollywood crowd won't mind, they are the first ones to say how they are under taxed.
2. A 10% surtax on advertising revenue. Again the Hollywood crowd won't mind. They swear they are under taxed.
3. A 10% surtax on entertainment royalties. <- Yeah the same people, they won't mind, they swear they are under taxed.
4. I propose a box on the 1040 form. Are you under taxed? You check yes or no. If you check yes, you pay an extra 10% tax.
