Let me see if I have this
straight. Romney says that there are a certain percentage of people who don’t
pay federal taxes and so he feels his campaign of lowering federal taxes is not
going to appeal to them.
The percentage
of Americans who will never make an effort to get off government assistance
probably will also never see the appeal for lower taxes.
Therefore: Romney hates lower income people and the needy. In fact he wants them to die.
I enjoy the hypocrisy (and by
enjoy I do mean disdain) in our country, that hard truths can be said and
accepted about "the wealthy" in our country without a bat of the eye, but state
any hard truths about the needy or poor and suddenly you are a calloused hater
of people and would rather spit on them then look at them twice.
Let’s see if this logic can
be applied to my every day life.
What if I wasn’t invited to a
meeting at my child’s school that dealt with kids who needed transportation to
an after school day care program? My kids do not attend an after school program. A conversation with the principal ensues.
“Ma’am, the meeting is
addressing the needs and concerns of those children attending an after school
program. Your child does not attend such a program, so you were not
included in the email.”
“I know! And I find it
ridiculous that you seem to want to alienate stay at home moms. If there is a
meeting, I want to be involved.”
“But it doesn’t concern or
affect you right now so I just thought—“
“Don’t tell me what does or
does not concern me! You are purposely signaling me out as someone who doesn’t
need after school transport.”
“But you don’t…”
“Unbelievable. How do you sleep at night? You hate carpool
parents.”
Am I playing the game right?
If we are going to start
judging politicians on who they like and don’t like with this new set of
criteria, I wonder….
From the campaign trail to
now Obama has repeatedly out and out lied about his health care program, that
he would cut taxes and not raise them, single handedly increased the national
debt higher than all other presidents combined, weakened relations
internationally with our allies, nixed the Alaskan pipe line project that would
have created hundreds if not thousands of American jobs, and has done little to
nothing that he promised would be done by now.
I wonder. Who do you think
this means HE hates?
