Feeling patriotic? Put out an American flag.

As if anyone needed further proof that Slow Joe is a dope, yesterday, Slow Joe said that paying higher taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. In his words, “it’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”

First and most important, when Dems aim higher taxes at the wealthy, they always hit the middle class. Remember when Dems imposed the so called luxury tax on east coast boat builders? Anyone who can afford a multi-million dollar boat can afford a 15% surcharge, claimed Wiley E. Dem with his ACME Tax Code pamphlet in hand. Well, if they could afford it, they weren’t willing to pay it.

As a result, all of the middle class people who earned their living off of the boats - the guys who build them, those who outfit them, supply parts and materials to them, sell them, transport them, clean them, advertise them etc. etc. all got pinched. Only after the plan blew up Wiley E. Dem’s face, causing much middle class suffering, did Wiley E. Dem decide to revoke the tax. But that was not before nearly ruining the industry and the people who work in it.

Next, as I’ve always said, if you think you’re under taxed send the balance of what you think your fair share is in to the treasury. Rich Libs will spend $28,000 to get into a Babs & B-HO event so they can listen to B-HO bitch about how taxes are too low. Hey! Hypocrites, just send it in!

Next, whatever you think the money could be best spent on save defense and roads, your money would be better spent if you gave it to a private entity. If you want to help the poor, donate to a food bank or the Catholic Church. If you want to help starving artists, donate to your local art museum. If you want to help the schools, use the money to put your kid in a private school. If you give the money to government, you can count on 50 to 75 cents of every dollar being wasted.

If you have a brain and want to be patriotic, put out an American flag. Join the armed services. Support the Wounded Warrior fund, Marine Corps Law Enforcement Fund, Special Op scholarship fund etc. etc. If you don’t have a brain – are you listening Joe? – send your money into the federal government.
