Re: Butt Scratching and Bass Fishing
Ninety percent of America’s millionaires are first-generation rich. They are Henry. To tax them because you think it is a “moral imperative” is legalizing governmental theft from our brightest, most charitable, and most productive citizens.
I don't disagree that our government could be more friendly to small businessmen. Maybe a lot of the negative effects of capitalism that people are seeing is in fact due to corporate America and big business, as opposed to people like Henry.
I just wonder how many people making good money legally are really Henry's and how many are the Amaleki's (people using bastards) and Ivana Trump's (whores) of corporate America. Somebody is filling up the golf courses and $100 restaurants.
In a perfect world, we'd all be small businessmen. We'd all actually own our own company. Is that really possible in the world today?
I still like the idea of secession. If we want to create more of a heavan on earth, we need to implement the physical separation of the liberals and the conservatives. When Obama poses as Robin Hood and it wins him the presidency, we can only blame the voter. When conservatives quietly pay their taxes and make it easy on the government to tax them, don't be surprised if someone takes advantage of you. The ultimate rights in this world are earned in battle, not argued over in court. It's not enough to be willing to work for something. You must also be willing to do what it takes to protect it. Until enough conservatives willing to do what it takes to protect what is ours, all we can really do is cry over what has been stolen. And I blame the conservatives, because we were to weak and unwilling as lions, to drive the hyenas off from our sustenance.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
