On the eve of Class Warfare: The Obama-ing I will stand in solidarity with rightwing bloggers and will refuse to become a millionaire because I find it morally objectionable to pull down the big bucks and live a lavish lifestyle only to have the government ask me to pay a bit more in taxes to fund their Godless socialism and unfunded wars that warbloggers were for until the bill came due and then, hey, whoa, I didn’t order that.
As God is my witness I will not take a penny over a very high six figure income which I am sure will come to me someday very soon via working hard and earning it the old fashioned way like Paris Hilton and Steve Forbes did or maybe from repeatedly winning the Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes.
Be forewarned America, I will begin to withhold my productivity at the slightest hint that I might make more than $999,999.99 in a year.
Wolverines! or Go Galt!
One of those…

I will stand in solidarity with rightwing bloggers
Well, I’m not judgmental or nothin’, but you should probably take a shower afterwards.
Perhaps you can pay that tax in bassets.
So, you’re going Gump?
A grieving nation pleads, “Please go Galt, teabaggers and rentier parasites!”
With industrial strength bleach.
Representation With Aspirational Taxation!
I have often thought of starting up a business whereby all those in-duh-viduals who want to “Go Galt” could send me all their excess cash to keep them below the Obamatax line. I would be more than happy to take their tax burden on for them; after all, it would be better for only one person to pay the Obamatax than for many. The sacrifices I would make for the Galtian teatards. Oh, the pain, the pain…
Not me, I’m on the Buffett plan: I will advocate higher taxes for millionaires and billionaires while simultaneously fighting in court not to pay the $1 billion in back taxes that I already owe.
You know, out of fairness.
Thanx for NOT $upporting the Assassin-n-Thief and the Poppy Bush Obamanible Evil doo doos!
Solidarity won’t be the only thing you’ll be standing in. Wear some waders.
The ALEC-owned Minnesota Republican Legislature’s response to Democratic Governor Mark Dayton’s budget proposals was quite telling.
They willingly dumped everything they’d campaigned on — no economic stimulus spending, no new debt, lotsa anti-abortion, anti-gay, anti-science, anti-union crapola — just to make sure the 7,700 persons making more than $1 million a year didn’t pay a penny more in taxes.
In other words, he forced them to admit what their real priority was: Making sure rich people don’t pay taxes if at all possible.
After the financial fall in September 2008, we were told that increased regulation and higher taxes would cause the Wall Street “talent” to migrate to financial firms in China.
Well, good riddance. So sorry to see you go, goodbye.
American investment bankers are the most failed professionals in the history of humanity. They have betrayed and robbed their fellow countrymen and the result of their behavior would be considered treasonous in any sane country while it is involved in world war.
Chinese bankers, producing the same outcome as American bankers, would certainly not receive a government bailout and a bonus paycheck, but would have to answer to the firing squad.
The “talent’ on Wall Street is smart enough to avoid Chinese “regulation”. We are stuck with them.
Here’s an idea. Instead of the Fed giving money to the banks, give it to SS or the senior directly. The money will go to the banks anyway, but the people will own it.
We are all millionaires now!
Also! Too!
But then you won’t earn the coveted title of “Job Creator.” That’s a pretty sweet perk.
Have you ever read the part about how the people who go Galt have to live? They have to work with their hands and sweat and stuff. Log cabin in the mountains of Colorado, yeah. That sounds like your average teabagger.
Go Galt…or go wolverines…or go nameyourfavoriteteam…..we don’t care where, just go. Not you, Tbogg, nor yet the bassetts either, but rather those screaming “class warfare!” Class warfare has indeed been going on in this country in an intense fashion for pushing forty years now, but it’s that magical 1% at the top who have won. Now they’re going for the scraps left over after the most intense looting.
GOP Election Slogan for 2012:
Keep the rich from paying
too muchtaxes!Don’t tax Daddy WarBuck$$! As Orphan Annie knew: the sun’ll come up tomorrow. What more do you low-life slackers want?
Just how many Jobs Get Created when you post Shakira’s ass, anyway?
I think posting the Shakira videos produces jobs, at the K-Y factory. How many jobs depends on the capacity and desire of the Tbogganites.
Kazillions?
* To borrow a phrase from our good General…
I would happily exchange my current pay check for that of a fairly taxed millionaire.
I have no objection to paying taxes because I understand their value, which means I’m not a stupid clueless OAF.
(I would cut off medicare to libertarians though.)
Ask me if I’d rather pay 40% taxes on $200K or 20% taxes on 100K.
