Surprise ....

.
.... your state isn't much different from Oregon socialism. So, quit beating your chests as though you are better than us!

A few posts ago, I reported about the typical Oregonian's view about self entitlement, taxation, and the redistribution of wealth reaped from the harvests of capitalism back to those that to want to live for free.

Well, as I've learned through further research, your state is likely no different from Oregon. It seems to be a national epidemic.

Statistics published by the Internal Revenue Service show that one percent of Americans control thirty eight percent of the wealth. But, this same 1% of the people pays 40.4% of the income taxes, while the bottom 50% of Americans pay slightly less than 3%.

But, you know this will someday end. And, it will end with the collapse of American capitalism.

Someone right here on the Central Oregon Coast said that if we as Americans continue to allow our government to punish success, and reward mediocrity, we will get exactly what we deserve; a country that has forfeited its position as a world economic leader, a currency that continues to lose value, and citizens who have no motivation to pursue excellence.

  1. Just thought I'd add a little levity to your depressing blog. ;)

    We were at the doctor's office today and Grace was looking through magazines. She picked one up, shuddered, and held it out from her at arm's length. She said, "Ooooh, this guy is creeeeeepy!" I asked her to bring it to me. It was our own Mr. President, Obama himself, Mr. Creepy.
