Taxed 2 Debt!

“These are the highest tax increases ever,”

The article above talks about how strapped states are for cash, and how every tax is about to go up.  Depressing.

It also goes on to talk about something we’ve been harping on here at Taxed2debt: taxing through class warfare.

Rich people owe us something, right?  They must owe somebody something, because they’re about to get a big chunk taken out of their collective hind-parts.  Listen, I’m not rich, last time I checked.  But I want to keep the rich people in our country.  It’s good to have them buy things and literally spread the wealth around. And just because someone has earned more with their own hands, this should not put open the floodgates of burdensome tax increases for them–which will stifle spending, innovation, new businesses.

New York state and California are great examples of high taxation causing  people to leave.  Now, more than ever, people have the freedom of mobility, so if you’re about to lay burdens down on some, you better be ready for true change.

It would seem like this is a new problem, but in truth it was not.  It’s a problem as old as early colonial America.  In the early Plymouth colony, circa 1625, there was an epiphany by the local people.

The colony went from a collective farming system to an individual farming system.  The results were two-fold: first, production among the farms sky-rocketed.  Secondly, those men who were not working previously, content to let the women raise the kids and till the fields, were now having to get back in the game.

Socialism/Communism does not work–because people aren’t going to bust their tail for Ed.  Who is Ed?  That’s the problem–we don’t know.  People work hard to feed themselves and their own.  Conservatism, it is common sense.
