Stupid Right-Wing Tweets: Marco Rubio Edition
Now, who do you think we should we listen to: Marco Rubio or Theodore Roosevelt?
A heavy progressive tax upon a very large fortune is in no way such a tax upon thrift or industry as a like would be on a small fortune. No advantage comes either to the country as a whole or to the individuals inheriting the money by permitting the transmission in their entirety of the enormous fortunes which would be affected by such a tax; and as an incident to its function of revenue raising, such a tax would help to preserve a measurable equality of opportunity for the people of the generations growing to manhood.
Or how about Thomas Jefferson?
Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise.
Obviously, Teddy Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson were Saul Alinsky types who wanted to transform America into a socialist dystopia.
For some reason, the media refuses to point out that the GOP has become radicalized to the point that the very notion of a progressive tax -- which has been in place since World War One -- is offensive to them.
A party which wants to repeal the 20th century isn't "conservative" -- it's radical. That needs to be repeated again and again and again.
...and Marko Rubio is just the latest mobster in the reptilican crime family.

A form of drama that emphasizes the absurdity of human existence by employing disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless dialogue, purposeless and confusing situations, and plots that lack realistic or logical development.
instead of 'Waiting For Godot' we get 'Atlas Shrugged'.
Wall Street is just a parasite on the actual labor and investments of average Americans.
Banks play with futures, debt paper, complex financial instruments, and other peoples incomes.

Theodore Roosevelt had a lot of good quotes.
"Saul Alinsky" is Newt Gingrich's dog whistle code for "Jew socialist." No one actually cares who Saul Alinsky is.
I'm not even sure it is "Jew socialist" as much as it is "foreign sounding." But maybe it is "Jew socialist" like Trotsky. And now that I think about it, "Gingrich" sounds a little foreign don't you think.
that everyone should sell their belongings and give to the poor. He was a dark-skinned socialist....and way ahead of his time. Too bad none of the so-called Xians in the Repuke party really know and follow his teachings.

...none of his 5 sons have to join the military and 'defend the country' in Mitt's War to Stop Iran from 'Getting The Bomb', and if each son can each keep his tax free $20 million dollar trust fund.

Thank you. I believe we all need to stop calling these people "conservatives". They have earned the term "radical extremists".
I usually just call them wingnuts because it seems like an insult to conservatives or republicans to associate them with the extremism that has infected the right.
the media is part of the problem. in a very big way.

It occurs to me that the Founders as a group were closer to Saul Alinsky in their thinking than to Marco Rubio. Oh, and their ancestors really were illegal immigrants.
Tweetering twat twatting twaddle.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.
" the only way for some of us to climb up the economic ladder is for others to be pulled down".
Marco, you mean like when ceos take hundreds of times what others make out and fire people to make sure their salary is left intact...that pisses me off too. Or when the company fails and they take a giant golden parachute and everybody else is left with nothing a the bottom of the ladder. ..that pisses me off too.
to help pay for the civil war. And he raised it three times, and he made it more progressive over time.
So once again when the Republicans claim to be the party of Lincoln, they are full of it.
When an analysis, by CIA, rand , think Tanks ? Etc., of stability of governments or society the biggest factor by far is the distribution of wealth. When the top controls to much of the wealth of the society revolution occurs. The 1% will active wealth But I cvvvvvv am sorry to say revolution will occur. Only a very small percent, much less then 1% will be effected. They have decided that it will. Not happen to them, but it will. I am sorry that so many people will pay such a price but it appears that the "top%" just do not think it will happen to them, but it will. The only sorry thing is that everybody else has to pay such a large price.
