How about we take a bunch of the nasty rich people in this country and make them work in Burger King and live in an apartment without a dishwasher and where they have to carry their laundry down to the basement to use the public washer and drier by paying for it with change for 6 months to a year to give them a taste of what its like to be a regular person?
What brought this idea about? Well, the number of times that I keep hearing that the rich don't think anyone else works in this world and that we all just want a free ride.
Children, we aren't interested in a free ride, we're interested in an equal ride. Lawyers and accountants don't get the regular person cutbacks. Regular people don't own yaughts or jaguars. Regular people struggle from paycheck to paycheck just to put food on the table and pay for their ten year old "I had to buy it used because it was cheaper" car. Regular middle class people don't take yearly paid vacations to the Riviera or even to Hawaii.
But no, the poor rich people think that because they may be actually forced to pay their fair share of taxes, instead of getting it discounts by legal rats, their lives are over and that they are just paying for lazy people who don't want to work.
Its time the rich people started giving back to the people that made them rich in the first place in ways other than giving them jobs with wages that can barely allow them to live from paycheck to paycheck.
I hope Obama takes taxes from the rich. They can finally pay for their due.
Warren Buffet revealed that he paid 17.7 % in taxes while his receptionist was taxed at 30% in 2007. How is that fair to anyone else? Oh woe is them, the rich aren't going to be allowed to pay nearly half the amount of tax that the rest of us do. How terrible. NOT.
"With great power comes great responsibility". Its time for the greedy rich to finally realize that because the American Dream has become ONLY a dream, and they are currently making it worse.
