The parasites on top are as bad as the parasites on the bottom — maybe worse. It amazes me how people like Nancy Pelosi and others in government are completely oblivious to the effort it takes for individuals to generate income. I called my representative’s office in Washington awhile back about HB3200, and the young aide who answered the phone was a bit impertinent (I’m certain he had been beat-up verbally for several days or weeks already from an outraged constituency). During our conversation I mentioned how they, including him, were parasites on working Americans, and he became indignant. He proclaimed, “I work!” to which I replied, “But I’m the one who supplies the money for your check!” He got real calm after that.

Nancy Pelosi needs to get a revelation. Perhaps if she worked in corporate America and was forced to live on her income alone, without her husband’s or government support, she would not continue forward with the audacious idea of a VAT (Value Added Tax). Once again, Americans who enjoy liberty and the prosperity it provides must rise up and fight this incredulous constraint on capitalism.
