According to this Rasmussen poll, 19% think tax increases help the economy. How exactly do they think that works? People go, “Yay! The rich are being taxed!” and work harder?
Here’s my economic recovery plan: Tell those people there are free lottery tickets in Canada, and when they head to Canada to get them, lock the door behind them.
Not to fear, Frank, our leaders have a firm handle on the economics of tax increases. Almost 50% of our ruling elite know that tax increases help the economy.
I’m afraid Canada would just retaliate by telling their people that the US was offering free beer.
That 19% also have their heads firmly wedged inside a bucket.
I guess those that would head to Canada, would be among the 50% of Americans that pay ZERO in federal income taxes.
Tell them they’ve won the Mexican lottery, and must immediately renounce their US Citizenship and leave to claim their prize in Juarez. Kill two birds with one stone.
You know every now and then on American TV you’ll hear a passing comment about Canada, usually a light hearted joke about how they are all dudley-do-right? I was surprised when I was in Canada a lot one summer how hostile to America they are. You can not watch a sitcom, news,nature, comedy show, etc.. without regular usually shoehorned in hostile references to America in them. Its like their TV producers are like daily kos commentators and have a case of terrets (sp?)
In spite of that, many of the Canadians I know through my church are less leftist then the American members. They must be good people to pull that off.
If Americans do finally band together to get something done they will have to do something about the hate-filled propaganda of our universities, Hollywood, and foreign entertainment. My idea was to have someone official be offended by a very awful comment on their TV and then start cutting off the billions we send them. You would crap your pants if you knew how much of Canada and Mexico was subsidized by your tax dollars.
BTW the period I was referring to was during the Clinton years. I can not imagine what they were like during the Bush years.
Not so fast, Frank. If at some point we eventually need to escape from the USSA, we may need to head to Canada, and there are already enough idiots in Canada. Send the idiots to Mexico. No one’s using Mexico right now anyway, because they’re all here.
This Idea is Win
I hope Obama has to raise the bottom Tax rate to 48% and the top to 98% to cover expenses. I’m serious. I want HIGHER taxes. I pray that the FED goes bankrupt.
But I can afford to not work while an Illegal Alien occupies the WhiteHouse. I can just sit here eating ‘Free Government Cheeze’ for another 6 years.
So here is my idea. Lets KILL the damned Economy off for the duration of his Emperor-ship. If we all chip in, and go on welfare, and get food stamps, and get free medical, and free dental, and free mental health (just make something up), we might be able to break the bank before the next national election. So get off yer butts and get some Public Assistance. You have to your part!!
My might have to destroy America to save it.
Something tells me that the 19% think it helps THEIR ‘economy’.
PS: If you’re white and male and were born here, you cannot get any form of free anything from the government.
If you renounce your citizenship and move to Mexico, then maybe you can come back as an illegal immigrant and get free stuff but as soon as they realize you can speak English, you’re screwed.
I think our his exalted Ombamaness has other plans for American Siberia (or as you refer to it – Canada).
White people need their own Acorn to teach them how to leech off the system.
Dear 19%,
Congratulations! You have won the Nigerian Lottery! Please send your Social Security #, and Bank Account # so we can process your claim.
Those 19% are apes. And not the talking kind of apes.
Racist!
Aren’t the 19% those that work for or leech off of the government, so that the higher taxes are needed to support their leechstyle ?
Were the 19% polled on furlough from the state asylum?
Would that 19% include a person who writes the tax laws and then cheats on his taxes and then claims he wasn’t familiar with the tax laws? Would that 19% include an extremely wealthy senator who keeps his $7,000,000,000.00 dollar yacht in RI to save on the same taxes he so eagerly loves to stick others with? Hummmmmmmmmm?
Good idea, since there is no door to lock on the Mexico border.
Shiggz: ” You can not watch a sitcom, news,nature, comedy show, etc.. without regular usually shoehorned in hostile references to America in them.” – Hmmm – this is complete and total BS.
Even worse – “You would crap your pants if you knew how much of Canada and Mexico was subsidized by your tax dollars.” Are you on drugs? How does the US subsidize Canada? Please put the keyboard away.
