Taxes and who payes 'em

[fatprop]

Billie Bragg is a socialist (top left of chart).

overthehill is an anarchist (bottom left of chart).

Both positions are as unrealistic as each other, in my opinion, but at least Billy has a sense of humour about it.

Libertarians tend to have a "shoot first and let god sort them out policy" (bottom right).

The top right of the chart is ... well, it's where we are now. Call it "republicanism."

Really? Libertarians generally want to be left alone ie get the government out of the bedroom and want individuals live with their choices; and questions the added extras that too many current "modern" governments have grown to encompass as they work out new ways to spend our money

Who knew this place was such a bastion of Chardonnay-sipping latte-sucking elites?

And what's wrong with that?











As long as I sell it.

An excellent article, could have plonked it in a number of spots

"So what’s puzzling you about why we hate Obama? He’s in our way. And that’s a much bigger threat to us than higher tax rates. Our incredible sway over politics, the economy and culture is being challenged.​

Repeat after me. You sir, are a job creator and the richer you get, the better off my family will be. Regulation is bad, and the less of it we have, the better off my family will be. Never forget these things. And never forget that the rising inequality you see all around isn’t a sign of decay. It’s a sign of prosperity. Get with the program. Now. Or we will fire you."​
