Windfall Tax on Retirement Income

"Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you're so stupid that we're going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. That's what the Speaker of the House is saying. Read below................

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren't going to believe this.

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds which are currently proteted until you start drawing on them! This is true - all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and others."

She quotes...' We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn't Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest.' ( I am not rich, are you)

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:

'We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities.. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as 'Americans'.' (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in."

This is what you can look forward to in the coming years.

Snopes says that's a phoney unless you have a reliable source you can provide. Here is an interesting editorial from the NY Post on the effects of her idea to tax big oil that is interesting: http://www.nypost.com/seven/01202007...ditorials_.htm

This evidently is not true, however, don't think for a minute the greedy little politicians with their beady eyes don't want to get their hands on this money to a greater extent. How else are they going to cover the $52-trillion long-term imbalance with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security? Do you think they're going to cut benefits? As sure I'm sitting here typing, this type of tax will be discussed in the future.

This quote is so ridiculous you should have checked and even if it was true how do you associate it with Obama?

Just because they are both Democrats does not you can take the most far-left ideas and automatically tack them onto Obama.

Stupid beyond belief. It tends to show that some people will believe (or say) anything so long as it appeals to their (or someone else's) prejudices.

From Scout Law:

A scout is:

TRUSTWORTHY
A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him.

FRIENDLY
A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own.

From Marine Corps Leadership Traits:

INTEGRITY
Definition: Integrity means that you are honest and truthful in what you say or do. You put honesty, sense of duty, and sound moral principles above all else.

From Ten Commandments of the Bible:

Thou shall not bear false witness.

From Playbook of Right-wing America:

There is no lie too low, no fabrication too false, and no utterance too ugly, so long as it demeans someone different than you or stirs fear and anger in someone else.

Funny, I couldn't find the Playbook of Right-wing America anywhere. I hope that no one who is pretending to quote from this non-existent work is bearing false witness or being prejudicial.

If PhD candidates have trouble distinguishing between satire and false statements, we're in trouble. Must be all those left-wingers in academia screwing up our ability to think.
