........ one who says he favors keeping the Death Tax because, he says, the rich must pay their fair share.
So we who oppose the Death Tax based on logic, after all, money- wealth- accumulated over the years by smart investments and other good moves has ALREADY been taxed at many levels. Federal income tax, state income tax, local income tax, and numerous other taxes have been paid on this wealth.
So what does one of the richest men in the world do with his very large fortune? He favors the Death Tax so he exposes his fortune to the state and federal tax laws regulating large fortunes when a rich person dies. Right?
No, not exactly.
What?
He donates his fortune to poor people?
No
He establishes a trust for the less fortunate?
No.
So what does he do with his fortune worth billions?
He keeps a few billion for himself and his family members and gives the residue to one of the wealthest people in the world.
What?
Warren Buffett. Yes, the super savvy investor says one thing yet does something else. If Buffett really believed in the fairness of the Death Tax, he would pay HIS fair share of taxes.

Greed
Greed.
AKA avarice, cupidity.
We hear often of greedy corporations, CEOS, business owners who want to keep most of their hard earned money rather than sharing it with those who do not work.
However, we never hear of greedy governments; local, state and federal who demand an increasing diet of more taxpayer money to satisfy the never ending line of programs designed to buy votes and increase the dependent class.
Why is that?
How come we never hear or read about the greed of government?
The feds spend $3,800,000,000,000 a year and still want more. Is there no end to the avarice of government?
Some people in DC say they cannot cut anything from the federal budget without hurting old people, firemen, policemen. We have heard it before. Any small cut in spending immediately means old people eat dog food and firemen can't put out fires.
Lies from those who refuse to tackle the real problem.

Economics
Economics.
It is what they study at the fancy universities and colleges. Economics.
Like Joe Biden said, "Jobs is a three lettered word."
America needs jobs. Lot of jobs.
Unfortunately, the people elected a president in 2008 who knows nothing about creating jobs, The president is surrounded by people, his staff, his Cabinet, his advisors, etc., who know nothing about creating jobs. Most of Congress knows nothing about creating jobs.
The only thing Obama can do is campaign and raise money from the rich elites, the uninformed, and the gullible.
So what do we do?
2010 was a start. We need to continue to elect people who see the dangers of Big Government. Government cannot and will not solve this probelm. Only the private sector has the knowledge, skill and flexibility to create jobs.
But only if it is unfettered by needless regulations and mindless socialist planning and controlling.
2012.
Our Hope and Change
