April 15th Tax ay
Tell me, how are you enjoying the 'tax cuts' in your paycheck?
Robin Hood “steals from the rich to give to the poor,” but it is “stealing” only because the evil usurper Prince John has set up the legal rules so that he and his elites can own everything. The whole point of the story is that “their money” is not rightly theirs, even though they have made it legally theirs."
"Critics have been quick to paint the new law as a giveaway to the rich. There’s some truth to that, with more than 40% of cuts going to the top 5% of earners, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. But middle earners stand to benefit too, at least in the near term. In 2018 middle-income households—those earning $49,000 to $86,000—will see a tax cut of $930 on average, the Tax Policy Center found." - http://time.com/money/5222840/tax-day-tax-law-changes/
"Democracy is fundamentally about protecting the middle and lower classes from [upward] redistribution by establishing the equality of basic rights that makes it possible for everyone to be a capitalist. Democracy doesn’t strangle the golden goose of free enterprise through redistributive taxation; it fattens the goose by releasing the talent, ingenuity and effort of otherwise abused and exploited people."
