LIBERALISM SUCKS

Conservatives and especially Christian conservatives find it hard to comprehend how and why liberals lie so easily.  Many liberals seem to lie without the slightest guilt or compunction.

For left-wing politics, lying goes back to the Russian Bolsheviks or earlier.  The masses were lied to because the ruling elite (or the ruling elite to be) felt that the ends (Marxism) justified any means, and the masses were too stupid and ignorant to know what was good for them.  But the ruling elite knew exactly what was good for them.  Leftists have a rather low opinion of the masses, the average citizen.

Liberalism is like a religion, and it has zealots as fanatical as any other religion.  But unlike most religions, liberalism has no moral code.  The closest thing to a moral code in liberalism is “don’t get caught”.  Ethics are situational, and totally up for interpretation.  The truth is subjective, and the truth is merely what you want it to be.  To the fanatic the leftist cause is so noble, so sacred that any lying or cheating for the leftist cause is justified.

When a liberal lies to the American public, he is in effect saying,

“You are too stupid to know what is good for you. I know what is good for you.  I will say anything I need to say to convince you my way is the right way.”

If liberals were honest about their vision for this country few people would ever vote for them.  Liberals must lie to us in order to impose the tyranny of liberalism upon us.

Most of those making higher incomes and paying the top marginal income tax rate are not wealthy.  Most people consider someone wealthy if they have a net worth of several million dollars or more.  So most of those paying these upper marginal rates are not wealthy, but they may be trying to become wealthy.

Again, like their old Bolshevik brethren, liberals try to make the public envy and even hate the wealthy.  But capitalism depends upon the wealthy.  Much of the investment that drives the growth of our economy comes from the wealthy.  We do ourselves a great disfavor by demonizing the wealthy.  We damage our economy when we penalize the successful.  We suppress our economy when we overtax those who invest.  And many who would invest in growth will not do so if they are taxed too heavily, or if government makes the risks unacceptable.   Many small business are impacted by high upper marginal income tax rates.  To say that cuts in the upper income tax rates don’t spur the economy and spur employment is silly left-wingnut “voodoo economics”.

The next time you hear a liberal use the phrase “tax cuts for the rich” remember they are either knowingly being dishonest, and they have been misled by the prevailing liberal dogma.  Income taxes are not based upon wealth, they are based upon income.
