Greed is Good

Damn right it is. Gordon Gekko had it right. Greed, better defined as the pursuit of profit, is the foundation of Capitalism. It’s why people get up and go to work every day. People want stuff. Stuff costs money. People work to obtain money to buy stuff. This concept isn’t rocket science.
But liberals feel greed is bad. It’s evil. The people who have succeeded financially in this country are the evil rich – and they should be punished through higher taxes and fees. Income taxes for the top bracket up to 50% -- half of what you make goes directly to the government. Imagine if 50 cents of every dollar in your paycheck went directly to the government. It would probably piss you off.
But it’s an easy sell for liberals to preach they won’t raise taxes on you, just on those evil rich people. Liberals tap into that little voice that tells you to key the paint on that new Mercedes you just parked beside in a parking lot because you can afford one. Liberals want you to believe anyone that is rich certainly didn’t work for their money – they had to become rich by screwing the “working men and women” of America. Do you follow that? Working men and women aren’t rich – they are the common people that need the protection of liberals – from the evil rich (who don’t work).
Truth is greed built this country. The basis of America’s economic growth is Capitalism. But, this flies in the face of our current administration’s socialist agenda – which explains why they demonize Wall Street – the biggest symbol of capitalism in the world. They need to create a devil to deflect the anger Americans feel over the administration’s failed policies.
As one of America’s greatest Presidents said, Government is not the answer, government is the problem. And this government is a problem. November couldn’t get here soon enough.
