Look @ all those poor people! They need a government program! It must be done FOR THE CHILLLLLLDRRRENNNNN!" Entrepreneur: "Well, it sure is sad that those people are in need but with the economy sluggish, tax revenue down and deficits as far as the eye can see, where will we get the money for this wondrous Government Program?" Welfare Statist: "Well, we'll just tax the rich!" Entrepreneur: "But 'the rich' are the main providers of capital for my business, which just happen to employee wage-earning, tax paying citizens....I know my payroll, and neither I nor they can afford any more taxes!" Welfare Statist: "You GREEDY BASTARD! You're hoarding all that money and won't share it with those in need!" Entrepreneur: "You don't know what you are talking about. If tax rates go any higher, I might have to lay off staff; they won't be paying any taxes, and they will be applying for unemployment benefits. That won't help the economy at all." Welfare Statist: "Well, you will just have to dig deeper into your pocket to pay for my self-esteem. I simply can't bear the thought of those poor people going without...." Entrepreneur: "Have you thought about digging into your own pocket to help them out?" Welfare Statist: -silence- All I can say is:

Translated:

Welfare Statist: “Oh, my! Look @ all those poor people! They need a government program! It must be done FOR THE CHILLLLLLDRRRENNNNN!”

Entrepreneur: “Well, it sure is sad that those people are in need but with the economy sluggish, tax revenue down and deficits as far as the eye can see, where will we get the money for this wondrous
Government Program?”

Welfare Statist: “Well, we’ll just tax the rich!”

Entrepreneur: “But ‘the rich’ are the main providers of capital for my business, which just happen to employee wage-earning, tax paying citizens….I know my payroll, and neither I nor they can afford any more taxes!”

Welfare Statist: “You GREEDY BASTARD! You’re hoarding all that money and won’t share it with those in need!”

Entrepreneur: “You don’t know what you are talking about. If tax rates go any higher, I might have to lay off staff; they won’t be paying any taxes, and they will be applying for unemployment benefits. That won’t help the economy at all.”

Welfare Statist: “Well, you will just have to dig deeper into your pocket to pay for my self-esteem. I simply can’t bear the thought of those poor people going without….”

Entrepreneur: “Have you thought about digging into your own pocket to help them out?”

Welfare Statist: -silence-

It seems to me this is their goal..to collapse our system. We now have universal health care and Cap and Trade is in the making. They pass C&T, it's a sure bet they do know what they are doing, they just aren't telling the American people the truth.
