Tag: American Middle class doesn’t need help by taring down the upper class

Class Warfare in full effect.

Class Warfare in full effect.

The more I listen to the democrats and their progressive allies the more I am disgusted. It’s not the political ideology of the Democrats that bugs me, it’s the envy and jealously.

There was time when Americans were driven to greatness by their own sweat. There was a time when Americans were expected to dream big and work to achieve that dream. What happened to that America?

I am not rich, I make less than 80k a year NOW. I didn’t come straight out of school making that salary. I had to work hard to get where I am.  I would sure as hell like to make a lot more. I worked for as little as 15K a year when my first kid was born, I struggled, I caught fish out of ponds to feed us, I did odd jobs, I hung steel in February at 10 below zero temps, I dug ditches, I WORKED to climb the ladder although I didn’t get much passed the third step, I don’t want to pull the top rung down to make more.

I couldn’t give a rats ass if someone makes a trillion dollars a year as long as they are doing it legally,  and I don’t give a damn if they don’t give to charity, or church or even spend it on their family. It’s their business.

I hold the rich American in high regard, I figure the vast majority of today’s wealthy Americans earned it by working hard and making the right decisions. I also know there are several Black, Latino and Asian wealthy, which means it’s possible for everyone.

I am in my late 40’s now and unless something miraculous happens I don’t plan on having an estate worth taxing after my death. I don’t expect to pay 70% of my income in federal taxes to pay for touchy feely programs our elected officials dream up. So the dog in this fight is not mine.

I would love to ask the Democrats who exactly are they fighting for?

They say the middle class, well I’m about as middle class (lower middle) as you get and I’m not a liberal. Most middle class folks are not Liberal Democrats despite what the media tells you. The poor are overwhelmingly Democrat. That alone should be a red flag to most.

I would also ask the Democrats to look at who is supporting them. IF that’s the America you want then you need to come out of your closet and announce your Communist party. I don’t think most Democrats think like Maxine Waters, Allan Grayson or Bernie Sanders.

Democrats, I ask you to look at the damage you are doing to this nation. You are setting battle lines based on income. You have demonized the wealthy to make your case for socialism, you have exploited the poor to continue to put federal dollars in your pockets. You are not helping the poor become middle class Americans, you are making the middle class poor and the upper class middle.

IF everyone moves down one notch, where do the poor go?

Middle class America considers themselves AMERICANS. They raise families, they fight our wars, they work for companies who pay a decent wage for a decent days work. They believe in working hard to achieve the American dream, not taking it from someone who has achieved it.

If you are part of the middle class that has been brainwashed by the media and the elitist left, I ask you too look hard at your life. Look at what you’ve accomplished to get to where you are and then look at the decisions you made that could have made your life better. IF you did all you could and the best you could do is middle class then I submit you did well in this life. Do you really want someone who did better because of their actions to pay more so you can have an additional buck or two in your pocket? Is that the American way?

I don’t want anything from anyone except a chance. When I’m unemployed I’d like for someone to see the value of my skills and experience and pay me for what I can offer. All I want from the Government is to enforce the laws of the land, protect my country and to make it possible to achieve riches within legal means. The Government doesn’t need to take from someone else on my behalf,  I’ll be okay.

So when you Democrats say you are fighting for the middle class, know that you are lying. You are not fighting for the middle class, it just sounds better than the truth. The truth is you are fighting to keep the poor, poor and use the rich to subsidize your voting pool. But fighting for the middle class sounds better.

You want to fight for the middle class? Try this:

Make this nation a business friendly country, tax imports more than you subsidize exports. Make it cheaper to make products here than to ship them in. Bring manufacturing jobs back by taxing overseas companies for their imports. Secure our borders so labor will not be cheap and tax hikes will not be necessary every year to subsidize anchor babies education and health care. Give tax breaks to companies that hire people at a living wage and small businesses that do the same.

That would be a start.
