"And when I get rich, I won't have to pay any taxes!"

[n2doc]

That's the way things are headed, folks. Not paying taxes will be seen (by poor people) as a perk of being rich, like having a mansion and jet plane. The nice folks on the TV and radio will tell them that this is a great thing, the way things should be.

1. Until 100s of them drown when a bridge collapses

over water or 100s die in a warehouse or school fire because the fire services no longer exist in their neighborhood.

2. And them they'll blame it on illegal immigrants and Pension spending

That's they way it is playing out in California.

4. Clearly the brainwashing has worked very well

5. don't worry the rich will have those insured

and then their company will get the no bid contract to replace them. So they'll make money off your death. If the rich are making a buck then 100s of peoples death will be seen as a good thing. Thank you 100s of people for dying so Fred can have a second air conditions mini-mansion for his poodle.

7. Remember the Market Place fixes everything

Charge tolls for all roads and bridges

Have the FD charge to put out your fire

I am only being slightly sarcastic when I say the rich (Republicans) want to create a total market economy. You pay for everything out of pocket, pay as you go.

If you are rich, great you have it made.

If you are not rich, you work for whatever the "Job Creator" graciously pays you, if that isn't enough (and it won't be) who cares.

3. There is one glaring flaw in their logic, which they stubbornly refuse to see:

They are not going to get rich. Period.

8. But that is the heart of Republican thinking

All those people who puzzle us by voting regularly against their own best economic interests?

They all have deeply ingrained the Horatio Alger myth. If I just do this or this ... I WILL BE WEALTHY, TOO!!! What is blocking my way? Why it's MINORITIES, IMMIGRANTS, GREEDY UNION PEOPLE! If they can be destroyed then I WILL SUCCEED.

It's Joe the Plumber. What are going to do my small business with your taxes? Okay, so I don't OWN a small business, and I'm not really a licensed plumber, BUT I will be successful, and then I don't want to pay taxes to support lazy poor people.
