The Democrats found a way to make taxes noble. So much so that some poor sap making a classic joke about lowering taxes was called a smartass by Vice President Biden. That’s because in the Democrat party, and in the 47% that we all get so angry about, taxes are good.
I think priority one needs to be convincing the general public, the poor, the old, those on welfare, those taking advantage of the system, everyone…that taxes are bad. We do this by, instead of constantly putting forth graphs that show the income tax disparity, instead show graphs about how much money is being spent by the lower income earners just to buy groceries. Create visual examples and stirring speeches about how many days a year a person spends working on behalf of their federal, state and local governments. Stop trying to convince people that aren’t paying one tax out of a bajillion that we are a “taxed versus untaxed” society. We’re just one society, and it’s all overtaxed and you could afford to do more if you kept more of the money that’s being taken from you.
Make the people that aren’t paying income taxes aware of the amount of money they could have every month but never see.
Half of our culture no longer puts death and taxes next to each other, no longer understands that Uncle Sam taking your money is a bad thing, no longer understands what angered Robin Hood and what prompted the Boston Tea Party. This half of our culture has actually reached a point that they view taxes as a noble form of patriotism and charity.
