I just got off the phone with my republican Rep. Actually the person that answers the phone. They would not connect me with the person I have dealing with in the office nor connect me with the rep.
The phone answerer seemed to be someone higher up the food chain than normal. I told them that I thought the taxes on the more wealthy should be raised. He then asked me if he could ask a few questions. I said sure. Asked what rate I would like to see and I said I thought 70% when making $50 million might not be out of line. He then asked me if I was making $50 million and taxed at 70%
Would I consider leaving the country if I was taxed that much
Is this the type of bullshit they are telling the people that call??
I told him if the only reason a person stayed in this country was because of money would we want them anyway.
I also told him that raising taxes was not really raising them because the rates in the past have been 70% under raygun and even higher at other times. So in fact we were just letting them float up to a level they were at before.
I asked him a final question. I asked him if the congressman thought he was paying enough taxes and would he be pissed if his taxes went up?? I told him that the congressman had two days to reply otherwise I would assume that the congressman thought he was taxed enough and I would spread that out on the Internet. He was not pleased with that. I told him I did not care.
The Angry Dragon is pissed and angry. I take no prisoners when I get this way..........
