>What is your position with federal income taxes? Should the rich pay more of a rate then those who are not as rich? Why?
Real Christian Americans that anyone can grow up to be the president. Didn't Obama prove it? Can't anyone grow up to be rich? Didn't Obama prove it? If only the government and the unions would get out of our way we could all be rich, right? After all every red blooded white American is better than average.
Further, Jesus promised us that there would all ways be poor people to do the grunt work. Jesus must have believed in Social Darwinism. Those who do not work should be left to starve. That's what Jesus taught, Right? That's how God cleans the gene pool. When all the non-workers have starved then Jesus can return and the True Believers will all be rich.
If you going to quote someone get the correct person. Paul said if a man will not work neither should he eat. Then realize what was being said the poor of Jesus day were normally those who were halt, lame, diseased blind etc. Paul was speaking of those able to work but were too lazy to work, most of us would agree to that.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could get the corporate tax rate lower, since we are what the second highest in corporate tax rates of all the nations in the world. You know if it hadn't of been for the Unions we might still have a vast supply of Steel Mills in this nation, but the price of American steel went way too high. Let see $40.000 for a Chevy Cruze, the electric/gasoline auto mobile, wonder what the cost for union workers is on that and then the corporate tax rate, wonder how much it would go down if the workers earned a fair living wage and the tax rate was lower? Think maybe folks could afford the price?
The Unions had their place in our society, they brought wages up and work weeks down. But what happens when the workers over price themselves to the point that like the Steel Workers union they put their own businesses out of business. There must be middle ground found and unless the rich union Bosses are willing to give up a little of their money which they get from the backs of those union workers the demand for higher wages will continue. Higher wages for the union worker menas the union bosses can sit back in their rich neighborhoods and laugh at the workers that make the money that they get paid with.
