Fundamental party differences in Tax Policy

I’d like to point out the differences in the way Democrats and Republicans view taxation.  Of course everyone knows that Republicans stand for low taxes.  This is true.  You see, we believe that the only reason our government should take any money from its citizens is to pay for necessary services.

The Democrats, however, see it differently.  The Democrats want our federal government to redistribute wealth.  They want the government to take money from the rich and give it to those who aren’t rich.   They believe that wealthy people don’t deserve to keep what they have earned.   You hear it in their speeches all of the time.  They spin their wealth redistribution policies by saying things like “We need to lift all boats” or “Not all of America has participated in this economic boom”. 

Wake up people.  In a free market capitalist society, people’s incomes will range drastically.  They will range from dirt poor to ridiculously rich.  That is how it is supposed to work.  That is one of the things that makes this country great.  Everyone has an opportunity to become incredibly wealthy.  Let’s keep it that way.  Just because everyone has an opportunity doesn’t mean that they will become rich.  It is not the government’s job to give you more money.  Their job is to create an economic environment for people of all walks of life to be able to create their own wealth. 

The reason why you’ll hear Republicans say we should cut taxes on the people in the highest tax bracket is because those people are the ones who create jobs.  It’s not because they are all greedy and want to keep it all for themselves.  That’s just what the Democrats tell you to keep you stupid.  It is not the truth.

The truth is wealthy people invest their money.  Their investments start new highly efficient companies that drive innovation.  These companies invent new products that make our lives better.  These companies hire the most talented employees which drives up everyone’s wages.  Those jobs attract the smartest people in the world to come work here.  These companies create better jobs to replace the ones that are going overseas to Asia.  America is the world’s capitol for entrepreneurs.   Entrepreneurs need investors to fund their new businesses. 

We all benefit from these people.  Can’t you see that?  It is common sense.  If these guys don’t create the jobs who will?
