It seems this reply to a discussion that was taking place on a friends Facebook page was considered abuse of some kind and was rejected (Abuse I guess).. Jeez, Im heartbroken. It just seems harder and harder to discuss current events with defensive people.
It seems the person was willing to.pay 50 per cent in taxes to be as happy as the population in Denmark where the government, I’m supposing, makes everybody happy. So I wrote........
V......The population of Denmark is 5,529,888 (July 2011 est.) It would seem that in a population of 5 million and a 50 per cent tax rate, the progressive idea of one size fits all might work. However, if I project that idea into a population of 308 million, that thrives on a 70 per cent consumer economy , and a large segment of the population that is dependent on government because that government has taken away the ambition and work ethic by way of the very thing you are wishing for, I would think that disaster, if not here now, would not be far behind. Taking money out of the private sector and injecting it into the government sector is tantamount to paying for your own slavery. And government injecting money to stimulate the economy seems not to work. Keynes was wrong then and his economics is wrong now. Simply look to the European models of Greece, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, and the U.K. The soft side of socialism in Western Europe is taking them down for the simple reason that which is given for free has no value. There’s a sort of folk song that was recorded by Kenny Rogers that sums it up. The song is called “Sweet Music Man” and there’s a line that in part goes,
“Your still a hell of a singer but a broken man
And you surround yourself with people who demand
So little of you"............That would be our fate in a progressive society.
