This is a revised version of a piece I wrote in November of 2010.
Let’s begin with that the fact that no group is for equality for
everyone. If we look deep within ourselves we will find prejudices, or
just unknowingly create inequalities. The progressives are always
talking about taxing the rich to help pay for those less fortunate. If
everyone is truly equal, how can you make one person pay more in taxes
than another? The answer is simple, you can’t.
The left will ask, “How do you help the poor if you don’t tax the
rich?” You help them by getting out of their life. I was talking with a
gentleman in South Africa and he mentioned Shanty Town. This is an area
that is government owned land where the poor began to build small shanty
homes in which to live.
This made me think about how in America the Federal government is
making gigantic land grabs, while at the same time taxing the so called
rich, supposedly in an effort to help the poor. I watched as local
governments began to ban or greatly restrict mobile homes because they
provided fewer taxes. These are homes that the less fortunate can easily
afford.
