PASS IT ALONG....AND VOTE CAREFULLY !!


Hey apple, what the fuck you think TAXES do and already have since we ratified that Income Tax Amendement at the turn of the 20th Century?

Hell, Adam Smith...you know, the author of WEALTH OF NATIONS, argued that taxes("spreading the wealth") isn't an evil.

If anything, why aren't you using Obama's "Coal" quotes instead?


1) Adam Smith, in “The Wealth of Nations” (1776), his seminal treatise on capitalism, Smith wrote:
The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. . . . The luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess. . . . It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.

2) I don't see McCain denouncing the progressive tax system that has been used in this country for the past 90+ years. McCain's tax plan does nothing to reverse this trend. Obama's tax plan simply shifts the numbers around slightly.

3) I can't trust anyone that keeps a terrible lie/misquote in their signature.
