		<description><![CDATA[ &quot;That&#039;s ridiculous on its face (they never do articulate exactly how they believe the alleged theft takes place), because since the poor don&#039;t have &quot;anything&quot;, how can ANYONE get rich from &quot;stealing&quot; from them?&quot; 
 
The nebulous theory would be articulated be describing some kind of theoretical money source, like endless gold mines or public oil fields that the rich somehow just tapped in to effortlessly without sharing. It&#039;s like localized versions of what they believe colonialism was all about. Sugar plantations all over the world you know, but they&#039;re more sneaky when they steal from locals.  
 
Or they just imagine Hern&#225;n Cort&#233;s stealing gold or some rich slave owners that got so filthy rich that they&#039;ve been dominating the others ever since through descendants. It doesn&#039;t exactly pan out when you try to rationalize it, but that&#039;s one more reason why liberals reject rational thought that goes against their play book. It&#039;s why they hate free speech. Soon their religious feelings will be hurt if you try to defend a rational tax policy. ]]></description>

Precisely. However, I wonder if they were smart enough to understand, perhaps they&#039;d be willing to listen to reason...if class warfare had not been so frequently deployed as a tactic for these past decades. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rich paid more. Despite endless claims by critics that Bush&#8217;s tax cuts favored the rich, the fact is the rich ended up paying more in taxes after they went into effect. 
 
In fact, IRS data show that the richest 1% paid $84 billion more in taxes in 2007 than they had in 2000 &#8212; that&#8217;s a 23% increase &#8212; even though their average tax rate went down. 
 
What&#8217;s more, their share of the overall income tax burden grew, climbing from 37% in 2000 to 40% in 2007. 
 
 
--This is too complicated for the average Joe to understand, and yet they get angry and march all over town because people like Obama present taxes in such simple terms it seems self-evident that we need to increase tax rates on the rich to get more money from them. It&#039;s not THAT simple. Do you want to punish them at the expense of revenue, or maximize the revenue generated? 
 
Liberals fixate on class warfare and &quot;fairness&quot; which in reality has no standard when it comes to nebulous concepts like &quot;social justice.&quot; ]]></description>

The real goal of this strategy is to raise everybody&#039;s taxes.  
The real function of the &quot;tax the rich&quot; mantra, then, is not to tax the rich and create jobs, but to break the resistance working voters have against tax increases.  By enabling the federal government to appear to &quot;tax the rich.&quot;
