American class crap

I’ve always thought that at its inception and by design the United States of America, our beloved country, is distinguished from other lesser aspiring nations by its lack of a caste or class system among its people. We are all equal under the law as the founding documents provide.

No royals; no aristocracy no wealthy, first or upper class, for example. No bourgeois; no proletarian; no second, modest income or middle class. No peasants; no serfs; no third, poor or lower income class. Oh sure, there are differences in the amounts of material possessions among us but that fact is not supposed to determine class – not in the USA.

Of course we all know that the opposite is true – equality among the people is a myth -- we’re full up to our eyeballs with three categories of American class crap.

If you doubt that just look at all the current news today from our parasite politicians about federal income tax reform. It’s all about class. The president wants to cut taxes and reform the tax code to benefit primarily the “middle class.” Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress are prepared to fight about whether or not the tax reform might benefit (gasp!) not just the “middle class” but the “wealthy upper class” too. Neither is talking about the “lower class” because they don’t pay federal income taxes anyway.

Their bickering might end up killing tax reform altogether.  No Democrats will vote for tax reform no matter what is proposed unless the “wealthy upper class” gets no benefit. Some Republicans won’t vote for it or will try to water it down because they simply don’t like the President and don’t want him to succeed.  They stupidly forget that tax cuts usually benefit all Americans at all income levels.

The fact is that a tiny minority of American taxpayers -- the hated “wealthy upper class”-- pays the overwhelming majority of the income and business taxes in America so that the other two “classes” may benefit. They are the ones who should have their taxes cut because they are the ones who create the new jobs and investments that make our American economy boom.

John F. Kennedy succeeded with tax cuts across the board in the 1960’s. The American economy boomed. Everyone at every income level benefited. Ronald Reagan succeeded with tax cuts in the 1980’s. Again, the American economy boomed. The markets enjoyed the longest bull market in history. Everyone at every income level benefited. Just in anticipation of our current president succeeding, the economy is starting to boom. Millions of jobs are being created. Wages are moving higher. Government revenue is higher when taxes are lower. Everyone at every income level is benefiting.

So if the foolish political parasites in Congress kill tax reform this time because of their idiotic bickering, all because they hate wealthy successful people – the golden goose of our nation --  there will be Hell to pay. The stock market will crash.  The economy will stagnate.  Government revenue will dry up.  Everyone at every income level will suffer.

That is the result of American class crap.
