Let's get the rich

After listening to Obama Wednesday I finally believe I get it. He's right!!!! I have been a fool. His plan is so simplistic. To get 50 or so Hedge Fund Managers who make $50,000,000.00 per year you double the Capital Gains Taxes on 100,000,000 people even if it will mean less revenue to the Government which will mean higher individual taxes to recoup the lost revenve so we can be FAIR.
What a visionary!!! How hard can it be to work yourself into the position to be oferred that salary? It's not even close to the effort that goes into getting $15,000,000.00 a year to sit in front of a teleprompter reading the news or $20,000,000.00 to throw a ball hard or catch one or hit one or run fast with one. I got me a G.E.D. Must be someone looking for a C.E.O.
It doesn't bother me a bit that the American People want to go after the rich and blame them for everything. I'm perfectly happy where I am, at the bottom. I have no aspirations to achieve, to better myself. I have no goals in life and the last thing I want is for my children to be successful.
Those rich people who close their plants and move overseas so they can compete in the marketplace took MY job. Not that I had anything to do with creating it or investing money in start-up capital or chipping in when the company got fines because I broke an OSHA Rule, or when the company filed bankruptcy after doing everything to cut costs to keep as many jobs as possible. I BUILT THAT COMPANY!!!
I may have been unemployed before they hired me for one of THEIR JOBS but it's MINE now.
Yes, I am one happy American. Where else can I live next door to those who worked harder than me, scrimped and saved to put a down payment on a house. Bunch of Suckers. They didn't know you can get Section 8 and live there too and won't cost me a dime because I'm on welfare and Section 8 is based on income and I don't have any income. Food Stamps are the only coupons we cut out. Johnny asked what's for breakfast? I don't know. I'll check the school menu to see what they're serving you today.
The only thing that would make me happier is if the Rich would just pay their fair share like the rest of us.
