Amy Kremer, apparently a chair of the Tea Party Express, took it upon herself to rail against the proposed tax on millionaires and billionaires suggested by President Obama.
It’s incredibly ironic that she’s accusing the President of class warfare for wanting to tax people who make more than a million dollars a year in salary. In times when so many people can barely make ends meet, let alone afford proper healthcare, it’s hypocrisy to no end to suggest that millionaires are being discriminated against.
No, millionaires and billionaires need to carry their weight. Too long they’ve been allowed to use tax loopholes and lax tax laws to essentially pay minimal or no taxes. It’s embarassing for anyone to propose that increasing their contribution to American society isn’t at least part of the solution to the economic woes. After all, studies have shown that the rich tend to stockpile their riches rather than invest them in a way that spurs job creation.
Amy Kremer also further destroys her legitimacy by suggesting that Herman Cain is a candidate to watch – Herman Cain, who thinks that being gay is a choice, and has no experience in government whatsoever. Real good choice there.
As for lowering taxes – it always blows my mind that Republicans are so rabidly for lowering taxes, but then when they get into government they spend billions upon billions of dollars of money the government doesn’t have, leaving a huge mess to clean up. Republican Presidents have contributed by far the most to the US national debt. They just love making people feel good by lowering taxes and spending tons of money and not caring about the trail of economic destruction they leave.
