The answer is two-fold: We, Americans, are ignorant and
lazy. We have a system in this country
that allows moochers, leaches and parasites to vote. These moochers do not pay any income taxes;
in fact they are the beneficiaries of a redistributive, progressive tax
system. We require absolutely nothing of
these people, not even a freaking ID, to vote … it’s no wonder that our
government has grown to its current size.
Two political scientists, Jody W. Lipford and Bruce Yandle,
did a study on taxation in America. The
results of their study led them to the conclusion that our progressive tax
system where high-income earners sustain a high tax burden is simply
unsustainable. The reason is simple: the
number of moochers are growing, while the number of producers are
shrinking. That’s a fact. “The share of total federal taxes paid by the
bottom 40 percent of households has fallen from 9.3 percent in 1979 to 5.2
percent in 2007, while the shares of the tax burden borne by the top 10 percent
and one percent, respectively, have risen steadily,” according to their
research. This acts as nothing but an
incentive for people to vote for government services that they don’t have to
pay for.
Voting is the lazy-man’s work. Going to the voting booth once a year or so and
voting for Democrats is much easier than waking up at 4am, working three
jobs, earning paychecks, and driving
home in the dark. Our progressive income
tax system has enabled the moochers. In
fact, “during the period 1979-2007, the increasing progressivity of the federal
tax code is associated with greater government debt and entitlement
spending.” Coincidence? I think not.
Our forefathers predicted this. In 1810, political theorist John C. Calhounforesaw this problem:
"The necessary result, then, of the unequal fiscal action of the government is, to divide the community into two great classes; one consisting of those who, in reality, pay the taxes, and, of course, bear exclusively the burthen of supporting the government; and the other, of those who are the recipients of their proceeds, through disbursements, and who are, in fact, supported by the government; or, in fewer words, to divide it into tax-payers and tax-consumers."
We were warned, but then along came the Sixteenth Amendment
establishing the income tax. These
political scientists Lipford and Yandle believe that the Sixteenth Amendment
“nullified the prior constitutional restraint on the size of government and
enabled one group of citizens to vote themselves benefits at the expense of
another.”
There’s a woman in Michigan named Amanda Clayton. You can read about this lovely little moocherright here. Last fall Amanda won
$1,000,000 in the state lottery. Today
she’s still on welfare and using food stamps?
Why? She needs the help to pay her
bills. This is mooching raised to an art
form. Care to guess how she would
probably vote in November? (If she votes
at all)
Now, modern day Democrats have made enabling the moochers an
art form. Is it any wonder why the
FairTax and its conditional repeal of the Sixteenth Amendment scares the
bejesus out of liberals? According to
these political scientists, the Sixteenth Amendment is the foundation for big
government and redistribution!
But it gets even worse.
