Left-Wing Billionaire Michael Bloomberg: Raising Taxes on Poor People Is a “good thing.” [More]I remember Bush II introducing some grinning stooge at a State of the Union speech and bragging how he would have to pay no taxes thanks to the administration's economic policies, and thinking representation without taxation (receiving benefits from those who pay them and a "right" to vote for more) produces results every bit as evil as the opposite.
If you want to go after Bloomberg for overt discrimination against "those people," there's a more obvious endorsement no one besides me seems interested in.
Taxes on "soft sugary drinks" in NYC, where the populace is determined to go to hell and attacks anyone trying to stop them, is hardly the most pressing priority. Unsurprisingly, Grover's ATR does nothing to oppose Bloomberg where it could really count.
I agree — raising taxes on poor people is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteRaising taxes, while exempting poor people (actually, more often throwing them an actual positive bribe) so they continue to vote for the tax raisers and keep them in power, is a bad thing.
