As we work harder, more and more people feel entitled to the fruits of our hard work. These people have organized and elected a federal government that sees fit to transfer 100% of the tax burden to the upper 49% of wage earners in this country. If successful, please tell me how 51% of the population who is receiving some form of entitlement from the 49% of tax-paying Americans ever give that power up. Thomas Jefferson said it better:
A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
or maybe even more telling, Thomas Jefferson:
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
When you only tax a certain portion of the populace, you have already set up class warfare because the people not paying taxes have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
What we are presented with today is not just doom and gloom for free-market capitalists because the government is applying more regulations and taxes for the “common good” to promote the “general welfare.” But rather, we are experiencing the largest transfer of power from the American people to the government in the history of this great nation. We, the worried liberty loving, free market capitalists who generate jobs and fortunes never before seen on this earth will soon be silenced. Soon, we won’t have a vote because we will be in the eternal minority of achievers who make this country run. We, are the motive power behind economic superiority. The take-over of our liberty and property is being cheered as popular change. Change that promotes giving people an equivalent fish to eat today, while relying on hard working individuals to fish harder tomorrow in order to provide more fish to the same undeserving people. You have the right to pursue happiness, i.e. go fishing, you do not have the right to be given a fish at the expense of someone else. To read complete post…[Click Here]

Good stuff. I doubt that any of the Dems have any respect for Thomas Jefferson. They are certainly becoming the very thing he warned against!
