In typical loony liberal fashion, our favorite vice president, "Slow Joe" Biden, has been out saying that there is just no way that charging corporate jets a $100 fee to take off or land at U.S. airports “is class warfare.” "Slow Joe" prefers to describe it as a “reasonable” way for executives and corporations to help pay for policing American communities. “If corporate jets just paid a $100 fee every time it took off or landed in America, that would raise $11.5 billion,” "Slow Joe" said, adding that the money could be used to “make sure the streets are safe.” Could be used, says old "Slow Joe." He also said, “So folks, this is not class warfare, this is all about just being rational and reasonable.” Ok, since when did Democrats and action that is considered "rational and reasonable" start going together?
When he made these most recent idiotic comments, "Slow Joe" was speaking at the Alexandria Police Department in Alexandria, Va.. He was there on Thursday to promote, of all things, Barry Almighty's" bogus $450-billion American Jobs Act, which supposedly, includes $5 billion to retain or hire law enforcement personnel around the country. "Slow Joe" said the federal government could also raise money for law enforcement and other causes by increasing the taxes paid by those sleazy hedge fund managers, who he called “good guys.” “Except they pay at a 15 percent tax, and you pay a 28 percent,” "Slow Joe" said, spewing the same drivel as Barry himself. “And I don’t get that,” he said. “How is that fair? How’s that fair?” Again with it being all about "fairness."
"Slow Joe" said that if only those hedge fund managers would pay the same taxes as “middle class folks pay,” the cost of law enforcement in the United States could be covered “for the next several years.” “If they just paid the same 28 percent rate middle class folks pay – not even the upper rate – that’s $12-and-a-half billion dollars,” said Biden. “That’s enough to cover half of the costs, or all of the costs, for the next several years of law enforcement that we’re talking about.” The event where "Slow Joe" spoke also was held for the purpose of announcing more than $243 million in federal grants to add officers to departments, including in Alexandria, which received almost $900,000 allowing it to add four staff positions.
Just a brief word here on fairness, if I might. Look, I'm all for being fair, but what I see as being blatantly unfair is to ask those who already pay more than their "fair" share to pay more before you bother to ask those who pay nothing at all, in the way of income taxes, to pay something. If we are all in this mess together and it's as bad as everyone says that it is, then everyone should be asked to pony up something, at least until we're able to extricate ourselves from our current economic and financial situation. No one, and I do mean no one, should be entitled to be on the receiving end of what is essentially a free ride. These parasites, who are so willing to just sit back, not being bothered in the slightest when watching everyone constantly being made to pay an ever-increasing amount in taxes, need to be made to pay something. For them not to be, well I'll just use "Slow Joe's" words, how's that fair?
