From the Desk of Nancy Pelosi
"We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest."
When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied: "We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long ways to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'."
Money I have earned over a lifetime of work to be taxed to help those who are here illegally or those who are unwilling (or too lazy) to get an education or training that would give them a job that would have the standard of living they would like to have. I worked since the age of 14 so I could have the standard of living I wanted. Why should I pay taxes on my retirement fund so that an illegal alien or someone on welfare can have my standard of living? Apparently I was stupid to do so. I should have had a bunch of kids and lived off the government.

Raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities? How about getting an education or training so that they don't have to live off the government? Welfare is, and always was, a bad idea. People get used to having money handed to them without earning it. Oh, wait. They earn it by not working by dropping out of school, and then voting for the politician who is willing to buy their vote.
Can we say "Socialism"?
