It’s very interesting how, judging from events in recent years, the Rich have convinced the less rich and even certain of the middle class to be their human shields against criticism. I blame it on all Obama, that rotten Democratic-Socialist-Progressive-Fascist-CryptoNazi-Kenyan-Nogoodnik. Now is the time for all good Shmoos to come to the aid of their grand old party!
There are two main branches of the Republican party, the 1% and the voters. The 1% know exactly how much they spend on the party and how much the party pays them back — usually a lot, in both cases. Then there’s the voters who know little of what the party costs them, but as long as the candidates keeps chanting “God! Gays! Guns! Obamacare bad!” the poor fools will keep voting for them.
In this country,The wealthiest1% have 35% of the nations wealthThe wealthiest10% have 80% " " "The wealthiest20% have 85% " " "the bottom 80% have 15% " " "
I favor bringing back the 90% tax on the wealthiest!!
The question should be asked: How many Democrats earn over $100K and use Deductions/Exemptions to legally Pay Zero Federal Income Taxes? Yep. Zero Taxes for 1/2 of that group. Millions and Millions of Democrats do Not contribute to Federal Programs they support. They love spending ‘Other People’s Money’ as fast as they can.
Check your history…FDR died in 1945…we were in transition from wartime economy to peacetime economy…tax rate was set at 94%. The rate fluctuated around 91% (for those making >$400,00) until 1963. The rate then stayed at or above 70% through the 70’s. The 1950’s, ‘60s and ’70’s were a great era of American growth and middle—class prosperity. Then the New Economy (aka conservative Republicans) began unraveling the American dream for millions of average people. This was the beginning of the economics "of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.

Republicans who aren’t in the 1% are stupid.

Remember to wear your “I Support The 1%” t-shirt during the revolution so you don’t get mixed up with the rebels.
