Stimulus package? That is what they are calling it.

Wow, I am going to get a three hundred dollar check from the government. What a great thing. The government is going to give me back 300 dollars that I paid them with the taxes on my wages as opposed to my income, of which I have none. I make no income. I trade my labor for dollars. There is no income but a trade of one to one. Still the government has decided that wages are to be taxed at a much higher rate than actual income. Even though it is called the “income tax” very few of us, the readers, earn any income at all. Yet we are still taxed. If it was truly an income tax then I would pay absolutely nothing because I earn no interest, capital gains or dividends.
So the idea of the stimulus package is to get money into the hands of income-tax payers, their term. They took thousands of dollars of my wages illegally and now want me to be excited that they are giving me some of my own money back. Of course, the whole idea is to “stimulate” the economy by having us wage slaves spend the 300 dollars on crap. The idea is that I will buy consumer goods, in turn giving more money to the wealthy elite, of which they will pay an income tax half of the tax I pay on my wages. Basically it is a sly way to transfer even more wealth to the already unethically rich. It is a bribe to ensure that none of us ask any questions about why the immorally rich don’t pay their fair share of taxes, since the people who own 95% should pay 95% instead of 65%, when they are the income earners and we are all just trading our labor, for no gain or income.
As if these last two administrations haven’t done enough to enrich the ruling elite. With Clinton cutting taxes on some of the richest people on the globe, who get their money off the labor of us, from 30 cents on the dollar to 22 cents on the dollar. Then Bush comes in and cuts it even more to 17 cents on the dollar. As we are all spending our 300 dollars, which works out to 6 dollars a week, make sure not to look behind the curtain.
Americans are so fucking stupid. Notice too that Clinton cut the taxes of the obscenely rich far more than Bush, but don't expect any Democrat to mention that, since Bush is the devil incarnate.
