One Man, Many Taxes, 365 Days: Day 148 Chose Words Poorly

She chose her words poorly. That's Obama's excuse for Sonia Sotomayor's comments that Latino women make better judgements that white men. Something tells me Obama wouldn't be so forgiving a Republican made a racial comment directed towards him or the gun-grabbing Sotomayor.

It's been another eventful week for our Marxist president. After admitting the US is broke, he justified his big government programs and then his people hinted at a national sales tax on top of the federal income tax. I have one question to ask you. I represent the average Joe six-pack. Look at how many dollars I have paid in taxes this year. I know many of you have paid more since I live in an area in Missouri which are still low. Still over 40% of my income has gone to the government. If Obama pushes and passes a VAT tax, that number will move closer to 60%. How many of you are going to want to go to work if 60% of your check goes to some idiot in Washington, or in your state capital, or your city government. Let me put it another way for you.

So far this year I have worked over 856 hours. 342.4 of those hours have been taken from me without reward for my efforts to pay taxes. If Obama and the Democrats get their way with the VAT tax, that changes to 470.8 hours of my work would have gone to pay taxes. What's the point of working once they get over 50%? There's no incentive. That doesn't mean I want to suck of Obama and his Marxist regime by any means, but let's be realistic. Who wants to work 40 hours a week if you are going to be paid for less than 20 of those hours? Not me! Obama can go stick it you know where!
