In Some Way

.
The BHO administration has been beating it's chest to increase taxes. He tells us that the rich people of America are evil and should be forced to give more in taxes. He blames the oil companies for the high cost of gas and demands that they pay even more of their profits in taxes. He says the banks are cheats and need to be punished though higher taxes for their misdeeds. He has mandated all employers to provide their employees with health care and other perks like government emplyees get.

Now, at first thought BHO's socialistic ideas might sound inviting, especially to the liberal. You see the liberals of America are the ones that most likely don't work, or if they do, the tend to work in the public sector.

Homeless people, unemployed people, teachers, preachers, rocket scientists, researchers, and many school bus drivers are the supporters of the BHO socialist agenda. And anyone who has more than them are seen as their enemies.

The problem with this socialist concept is that, in some way, it will come back and we will pay for it anyway. Two years ago, San Francisco mandated the even small businesses must provide health care to their emplyees. Immediately, a small coffee shop posted a 15% surcharge on every item in the menu, listing the cost of the medical care mandate. Customers screamed because it came back to them. What would they expect? Could these BHO supported even think that the shop owner would just absorb these costs? Dumb question, I guess.

Whether we think that oil companies and banks are making too much profit or not, we can bet our butts that if BHO taxes them more, in some way, we will pay for it. Raise taxes on the wealthiest and the will only hire fewer maids and gardeners.

Instead of trying to punish the wealthy, BHO should be taking lessons from them. Perhaps we wouldn't have so many failing public ventures, such as the USPS. Mandating employer provided health care will only bankrupt many business, just as it has caused the bankruptsies of many governments!
