If you’ve followed this site for any amount of time, you’ll come to realize I hate politicians – every last one of them. I’ve been disappointed by them, had high hopes for a few, only to be crushed by the level of corruption they ultimately displayed etc. 

keith ellison complete moronI honestly don’t care what someone else’s views are on an issue, I just don’t want it affecting my life and the life of others because of it. The government doesn’t seem to get this, they think that we owe them for our prosperity, like some how we are indebted to government, and that they must be the moral authority on all things. 

This week’s major scum-bag comes in the form of Keith Ellison, the moron congressman from some moron district. 

Here, in this video, the gomer is advocating for a transaction tax, and some of the talking heads that I’ve seen defend him justify it because we “Wall Streeters” get to buy all these shares and not pay a single tax on them. 

$@# $)(*@#$)(*#@$09 @#$)*U(!!!!!! Are you kidding me!?! Have you not heard of Capital Gains? Yeah, you take like 40% of it. And yes, you also tax me already on my transaction with that line that they call “SEC Fees” on every flippin’ transaction I make.

And get one more thing straight, just because you are poor does not mean you have the right to have your whole life subsidized by taxpayers. As the moron pontificates in his video.

And your comment about “there’s plenty of money, its just that the government doesn’t have it” – that’s right, and the more that you try and tax us, the more that we’ll take our money into safer havens. You are NOT entitled to as much of the fruits resulting of my hard work as you want. 

I benefit from being here because of my hard work not because of the government. The government benefits from the people, not the people from the government. 

There was a revolution over a 2% tea-tax 237  years ago…….so don’t think it can’t happen again.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
