BloggeRhythms 8/4/2012

I often wonder about politicians remarks, and whether they actually think about, understand, or mean what they say. And it was that thought that registered once more when I read comments by the incumbent on Fox News on-line this morning.  
 
Apparently he suggested on Friday, that it’s “patriotic” for well-off Americans to pay more in taxes, which parrot’s an argument Joe Biden first made before the 2008 election.

His comments came after House Republicans knocked down the Democrat tax plan, wherein he called the GOP approach of preserving current tax rates for all “bad for our families” and “upside-down economics.” Then he went on to state: “Instead of the middle class paying more, we should ask the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more, a modest amount, so that we can reduce our deficit and still make investments in things like education that help our economy grow. You know, here's the thing -- there are a lot of well-to-do Americans, patriotic Americans, who understand this and are willing to do the right thing.” 

And that’s the part that got me. Because to date, the only thing that Democrats have proven is that when it comes to earning a dime or how to spend wisely, these dolts are clueless. And what’s worse is, they’re either completely uncaring about their financial inabilities or absolute outright thieves.   

As of this morning, for example, the Solyndra fiasco will cost taxpayers almost the full investment of half a billion dollars, but that doesn’t bother the White House an iota, and is actually less than a drop in the bucket compared to the massive funds they waste. Like how about those $44 million in GSA bashes.

And as far as education goes, and the rip-offs perpetrated by the unions, those inept slugs in education should be forced to give taxpayers their money back. Then, in the meantime, there are trillions of corporate dollars flowing and staying overseas because of what’s truly “upside-down economics” in the U.S. But the incumbent and his cohorts won’t change a thing to incent them to bring those bucks back and invest them at home. Yet meanwhile, we’re all also still paying ridiculously inflated prices to foreigners for oil when we have far more than we’ll ever need right here.

So my question for today is: Why and for how long are any successful folks, such as productive businesspeople, supposed to keep paying for the mistakes, ineptitude, corruption and untruths of politicians? And I think part of the answer is that those who mismanage in government should be made to give their salaries back. And if that was the case, I doubt very much our nation would be $16 trillion in debt, because if their own bucks were at risk, even politicians would attempt to think now and then.

That’s it for today folks.  

Adios
