Taxes for Deployed Personnel?
Jim asked: "Why, oh why do we have to pay Maryland State and Local taxes?! And why do we have to pay capital gains on dividends when our stocks are so devalued?"
My, my. The scales begin to fall from his eyes...
State and local taxes? Because Maryland, being long run by Democrats, naturally has one or more well-funded programs for every conceivable voting group. That's how they buy votes to stay in power (Al Gore: "A'hm gonna fight for YOU!"). Your group, unfortunately, is not included because you are The Rich -- the ones Al was going to fight against. The Democrats know that they don't need to buy your vote, because you will vote for them out of liberal guilt, which they cultivate at every opportunity. The richest members of Congress are Democrats, not Republicans, and they have you convinced it's all about The Homeless. Heh.
Taxes on dividends (after those dividends have already been taxed at the corporate level, so they are already smaller than they should be)? Gee, that's a hard one. Because Democrats have successfully demagogued the issue to say that only The Rich get dividends?
The more general answer is that Democrats always against any kind of tax cut or any cut in any government program. Why is that? Could it be because they use tax money to buy votes by offering new or expanded entitlements to anybody who might cast a ballot? This is why they always oppose any form of privatization or any plan that does not involve a government program to deliver services. The very last thing in the world the Democrats want is for people to be self-sufficient, independent, and not in need of government services. The day that happens, the Dems are out of business.
If they did not get 90% of the black vote, and a huge margin among unmarried women due to the GOP's poor stand on abortion, the Democrats would be finished.
OK, here's one for you: The Democrats voted almost unanimously against the Gulf War, and they are heavily against going to war against Saddam now. Why is that?
