On a tip from Ed Kilbane
Marxism
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Sounds all warm and fuzzy like; doesn't it?
It's one of the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union. It doesn't work.
Lets clarify shared sacrifice. 53% of all Americans pay income tax. The other 47% pay nothing. As an American citizen living in this country and benefiting from all it has to offer, shouldn't every American contribute something no matter how small? Suppose you make $10,000 a year. Shouldn't you pay at least 100 bucks... 50 bucks...something? Is that to much to ask? Obama keeps reiterating the phrase invest in America, which actually means collecting more money from the 53% so he can spend it on the 47% who contribute nothing.
We are over 14 trillion in debt and 47% of Americans do nothing to help out. At some point the 53% are going to get sick of carrying the other 47 on their backs. The... he ain't heavy he's my brother concept...is starting to wear pretty thin.
