"....& NOT AS I DO".
by N.R. Filidei (December 1, 2005)

Ever wonder why exceptionally wealthy leaders, corporate heads, notables and such in America often propagate so hypocritically as they do?

I most certainly do, and in fact think it even more wondrous that so many Americans ACTUALLY BELIEVE such continuously never ending and quite obviously purposeful political bull, quite adnauseamly and non-stop (like: "Energizer Bunnies") emanating from such on a daily basis.

Plus, and that so many followers pretty-much adore and venerate such pompously-lordly hypocrits as if some-sort-of-gods,...is also truly quite amazing. Guess that even some people like being perpetually led around by the nose?

Though, and whether just naive, easily duped or whatever else causes so many Americans to be herdlike manipulated aside, recently it has been exposed that two of the biggest names in America epitomise such public gods, as alluded to. Such being the quite rich Leftist Democrat Gurus Soros and Kennedy.

Soros a multi-BILLIONAIRE and The Kennedy Clan multi-MILLIONAIRES worth about $500 MILLION or so in ever increasing incomes, interests, dividends, capital gains, trusts or whatever,...both continually and incessantly propagate, instigate or advocate that The American People be taxed MUCH MORE severely, and/or as normally done in Socialist Nations.
WOW!!! Talk about that: "Do as I say & NOT AS I DO" hypocritical quip.

Regardless, let's forget about Citizen Soros. After all, and given his vast fortune in holdings and enterprises being so international, and his vast wealth being spread-out or dispersed offshore and worldwide,...God only knows (maybe?) what Soros's American Tax Burden would rightfully be?

However, and even though similarly funneling assets offshore and in foreign countries, the head of The Clan Senator Kennedy's tax burden is reasonably accessible since still a Public Official and still on The Public's Payroll. Such having recently been disclosed at about $108,000 or so yearly.
Absolutely B-E-A-U-T-I-F-UL.

If interested People (?),...an even $100,000 yearly tax burden on an exact $500 MILLION in assets comes out to .0002 percent and/or TWO TEN THOUSANDTHS of a percent.

Would that: "We The (Schnooks)" and/or the rest of American Taxpayers or relative peasants in the equation here, suffered such a small percentage in taxes every year. WOW!!! again,...and so much for EQUALITY in a nation founded on the premise of having no Preferential Class or being: "A Classless Society", and/or that All Citizens in America are: "Created Equal" in this theoretical democracy (all some jokes) and as touted ONLY CORRECT way of governing,...both here and worldwide.

Whatever, and doubt my mathematics and reasonings for being outraged over wealthy Democrat or Republican connivers and/or Tax Avoiders/Evaders in general FAIRING BETTER than most? Well then, let's just put things in a more understandable perspective below Mount Olympus or amongst us Plain Folks down here,...and ponder the following.

If The Poorest of Americans with no income, no savings and no assets whatsoever are fortunate enough winning only ONE MILLION DOLLARS from their State Lottery, and opt being paid: "Cash" and not; "Annuity",...the tax burden automatically taken out would be $500,000. No ifs, ands or buts.

For the not very mathematical,...that's A ONE HALF tax rate.
Plus, one can bet ones bippy that most likely any Welfare Monies previously paid such a Lucky Winner would also have to be paid back,...if stupid enough to hang-around and not wisely run-off and getting: "Lost in America",...and as if from New Orleans.

So then, I guess it's fair saying that it actually doesn't matter which Party Rules America? "The Rich get Richer and The (Middle Class always end-up getting the short end of the stick)" in America. In fairness though, such is actually a worldwide commonality. The Rich Class always stay Rich, and the used and abused Working Class always just stay so,...unless hitting a lottery.

Whatever, The Poor, plain Wealthy or Fithy Rich Ruling Elite in America never suffer financially. ONLY America's Middle Class Subjects, Citizens and/or Peasant WORKERS unfortunately and quite normally do.
Amen, So be it, or So it is written.

The End
