The congress just voted not to raise taxes on anyone. They are the people we voted into office to represent us. If they are not responsible, then WHO should determine and measure who deserves what they have?
Though the poor have very little, they often lay their lives on the line for it, and the rich who own all that is worth having will not pay taxes to see their right to it supported or defended... My thought is, that if you will not pay for what is yours, and will sell it cheap to foreigners because you got it for free, then you do not deserve it... Only those willing to pay for it should have it, and the price of supporting ones society comes with every piece of the commonwealth... Freedom is free, but the stuff of life: Property has a price greater that what it takes to purchace it... And if people complain about that cost then take the advice given to the emperor who complained of the task of being emperor: If you do not like it, then give it up...
There is not one form of relationship any person holds that they do not have to make a sacrifice for... It goes for marriage, and it goes for a job, and it goes for society as well... IF you want it, be willing to sacrifice for it... The problem with that is: If what the rich want is to own all, giving part of what they own back as the price of having the rest unmolested on it is too much to bear... They want something for nothing... Revolutions are made from such behavior... They would be better off taking wht they have at a very fair price since they can never afford to pay back the survivors of all who have died for the blood spilled in defense of this land... They may for a while have something for nothing but with such behavior they are buying nothing for everything... They will lose their properties and their heads as well for all their something for nothing..
