Re “Why the Poor Pay Far More Than Romney”
This rebuttal of my learned colleague Dr. Hutchinson needs to take a minor detour at the outset:
As the Democrat media choir sings an anvil chorus every time Mitt Romney draws a breath, the boys clinging to the end of the leftward most vine should stop their bellyaching and note this:
Mr. Romney, whose character is the most honorable of any contender for the White House since Mr. Lincoln, gave more than $4 million to charity last year, 29 percent of his income.
That is an astonishing proportion.
The cheers should drown out the puerile criticism that has been aimed at Mr. Romney since he released his most impressive income tax data last Friday.
Now to Dr. Hutchinson’s defense of freeloaders, who leech off of America’s honest working people, known by their political nom de plume, Republicans:
If Dr. Hutchinson and his fellow protestors will look a tad more closely, they will see Mr. Romney only criticized the freeloaders for freeloading, for not paying federal income taxes, not to mention filling America’s couches.
He did not mention Social Security, Medicare or food stamp taxes, and whatever else they are obliged to pay along with every other American.
It is preposterous of Dr. Hutchinson to say that the freeloaders pay a “far higher percentage of the state taxes” and “sales taxes.”
Numbers, please.
Why not argue that Billy Party and Wilt Chamberlain were the same height?
Both assertions are equally provable, right?
Dr. Hutchinson fails to realize that most poor people have chosen to live that way. Don’t kill your parents and plead orphan status, dear liberal friends.
“The poor have always been viewed as a ready, easy and accessible piggy bank,” Dr. Hutchinson writes.
Sounds beautiful. If only it were true. California, in spite of the thugs thronging Sacramento, is not running on the money that freeloaders mail in.
Brother, it is time for such liberals to repent.
