The 99% vs. the 53%

The corruption that we make legal via the money in politics/influence peddling, has to stop.

The problem, or one anyway, is that the 53%'ers don't understand the need for the wealthy to 'pay their fair share' in 'paying it forward.'

And the problem with the 99%'ers is in explaining THAT abstract concept to people that say 'See I did it - why don't you?.

Ummmm.

I'll haul out an old one -

'You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day or teach a man to fish and feed him for life'.

Cutting taxes is giving us a fish. We will feed ourselves today.

'Paying it forward' is teaching us and our children that we'll always be able to fish.
