CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 20, 2021
IF SOMEONE CAME TO YOUR DOOR AND ASKED YOU FOR A DONATION TO A WORTHY CAUSE,
DEPENDING ON WHAT IT WAS, YOU ARE PROBABLY A GENEROUS PERSON AND MIGHT GIVE THEM
SOMETHING.
WHAT ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? WOULD YOU WILLINGLY DONATE MONEY TO WASHINGTON
GIVEN THEIR INABILITY TO PROPERLY HANDLE WHAT THEY FORCE FROM US? PROBABLY NOT.
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO RAISE TAXES TO LEVELS THAT WOULD ECLIPSE THE WELFARE
STATE OF SCANDANAVIAN COUNTRIES, AS WELL AS CHINA, TO PAY FOR THEIR ONEROUS NEW PROGRAMS.
IT’S LONG PAST TIME, THEY SAY, TO RAISE TAXES ON CAPITAL GAINS — WHICH FOR MANY ARE
RETIREMENT FUNDS — LARGE CORPORATIONS, WHICH WILL LAYOFF PEOPLE TO COMPENSATE AND
VIRTUALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT MOVES OR STANDS STILL AND SUBSIDIZES THE NON-PRODUCTIVE.
WASHINGTON NEEDS MORE MONEY LIKE DRACULA NEEDS MORE BLOOD. THEY NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF
OUR MONEY BUT NEVER ASK IF WE HAVE ENOUGH. POLITICIANS ARE GREEDY AND IRRESPONSIBLE. ONLY
VOTERS CAN STOP THEM, BUT WILL YOU, OR HAVE YOU, TOO, BECOME DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT,
WHICH IS THEIR GOAL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
