If everyone in the world would pay their fair share (you know, we’ll soon be a one-world something soon), America’s debt would be paid, with only $2300 from everybody.<\/p>\n
If every billionaire in the world would pay their fair share (you know, we’ll soon be a one-world something soon), America’s debt would be paid, with only $14 billion from every billionaire.<\/p>\n
If every billionaire in the U.S. would pay their fair share (keeping it fair—only Americans), America’s debt would be paid, with only $40 billion from every American billionaire.<\/p>\n
If every millionaire in the U.S. would pay their fair share (spread the debt around a bit—more fair), America’s debt would be paid, with only $2 million from every American millionaire.<\/p>\n
Sounds simple enough, as long as you’re talking about someone else’s millions and billions.\u00a0 Why don’t you take a poll of all those millionaires and billionaires, to see how many would participate?\u00a0 Or would someone hold a gun to their head to make them pay?\u00a0 But then half of them don’t have enough to pay the above amounts.\u00a0 So then you’re back to the top richest paying more.\u00a0 Where have we heard that before?<\/p>\n
The reality check is this:<\/p>\n
01)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one even plans on paying the U.S. debt by taxing the rich more.<\/p>\n
02)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Tax the rich more” worked just fine to get re-elected.<\/p>\n
03)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 “Tax the rich more” can’t work to\u00a0 pay the U.S. debt.<\/p>\n
04)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No one in charge has the remotest plans or intent to ever pay the U.S. debt.<\/p>\n
05)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Americans have been duped for destruction.<\/p>\n
And, economics is only one of the categories where we’ve been ripened and hand-picked for destruction.\u00a0 We’ve rotted in the hands of the picker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
