Medved crusading against the evil Paris Hilton tax!
Yes let's get rid of that aweful tax that effects what --the top 2% of the population? After all it's OK for the government to take a percentage my paycheck but not that of some trust fund hippie? His income should be tax free because he didn't work for it at all? If you don't think the evil government shouldn't take a percentage of Paris Hilton's inheritence, then why is it OK for the government to take something from a small business owner trying to make it?
Who, after all is going to pay for the giant porkstraviganza that these Republicans and their cronies have been enjoying for the last 5 years. Sweetheart deals and contracts --not to mention the 3 billion dollar a week occupation of Iraq-- things that mostly benefit the ultra wealthy? According to Medved it should only be paid for by working class people.
If Bush were serious about stimulating the economy with tax cuts, he would repeal the tax on waiter and waitress' tips. With that money, they would buy blue jeans, Dish Soap, food etc. Things right here in the USA stimulating the economy and creating jobs. They wouldn't get an underage hooker in the Dominican Republic or open a factory in India.
There are so many things wrong with the conservative stance I tend to get lost in one aspect of its wrongness. The idea that the government is evil and therefor shouldn't get any rich people's money seems to come up a lot. If Medved truly loves this country, and believes in democracy then he should acknowledge that the government IS the people and the people are America. So what Medved is saying really is that America is evil.
One of the things that makes America a great country is a deep down distain for inherited class distinction. The American dream is that anybody can make it with hard work and enginuity and that we are all born equal. Allowing huge inheritence to create a perpetual ruling class of "old money" like the lords and ladies of old Europe -- is completely an anathema to what America is all about.
If you want the government to not take as much money, how about voting in one that spends less. Vote for Democrats. Unless you like the fact that we are now borrowing billions from China, Saudi Arabia and yes I kid you not... Mexico to pay for tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. Just another problem we didn't have when that horrible Clinton was in office.
