The Rich actually use the majority of government services and entitlements
"Say what? Yeah i know it sounds counter intuitive.
But the massive military is there to protect Americans wealth. The top 10% has 80% of that.. so 80% of military expenditures is to protect the wealthy. And we can see it directly when we sent the military to save the US captain caught by somali pirates. (think that costs a dime or two?)
The nations highway system is enjoyed by all, but mostly by commercial traffic to get the wealthy products to places where they can sell to you.
Sure the poor fly now and then, but for the most part the airports support those that have meetings and business adventures or vacations.
the rich fly more.
when californian fights forest fires to protect houses they are mainly protecting the houses of the wealthy, even when they go into poor neighborhoods, most of those people rent from the wealthy.
Yes the rich send their kids to private school, but they get workers that are smarter than rocks, due to the public school system. This allows them to sell more product.
the police protect people and wealth.. and as we mentioned the rich have 80% of the wealth. Keeping the criminals in prisons funded by the government, keeps them off the street and from robbing the rich.
the rich and corps use most of the energy in this country, so a majority of the money spent on the energy structure is to benefit the wealthy.
The rich use the court system to fight competition and to protect their investments. The poor use the court system to go to jail.
No poor man has ever gotten an earmark.
they even benefit from welfare. When you provide the destitute enough to eat, you ease desperation. Starving people will murder you for bread, especially if they have starving children.
WE live in a society, you really cant escape that fact. The rich like to complain we are stealing money they earn and wasting it on the poor.
Well i hope i have atleast shown they actually benefit from a lot of government spending.
How about that stealing part?
If you had a trillion dollars on a desert island.. would it be worth anything but for starting fires?
Government create money and create and protect the market.
The market set up decides how much to compensate you for work you do.
But you didnt earn anything in a vaccuum.
Dont believe me, go invent an ipod in the desert with no one elses help, make millions selling it to cacti and come back and tell me how wrong i was.
No one lives in a vaccumm we live in a society.
When the government increases taxes, it isnt stealing, it is simply keeping more of americans wealth that was CREATED BY GOVERNMENT for itself.
They arent stealing from you by raising taxes, they are simply allowing you to take less home from the american market created by and protected by the american government.
it is why tax cuts are tickle up, because the government is setting up the market rules to benefit the rich over the poor.. it has nothing to do with stealing.. the government created the game.
However when you create massive deficits from tax cuts that IS stealing from the future.
and Like i said if you dont believe me, create your own money, create your own market, set your own rules/.. start a society. And if you want you can not educate the people and see how happy you are with employees that cant read or write or count."
Newsvine - The Rich actually use the majority of government services and entitlements.
