Obama’s Policies Have Made 50% of Americans Non-Taxpayers

  Towards the end of this article about how President Obama’s radical agenda is hurting the economy comes what many would probably consider the tipping point in the whole American economic system. The Wall Street Journal article that I linked to above starts off ominous enough:

It’s hard not to see the continued sell-off on Wall Street and the growing fear on Main Street as a product, at least in part, of the realization that our new president’s policies are designed to radically re-engineer the market-based U.S. economy, not just mitigate the recession and financial crisis.

  As if that wasn’t ban enough the article towards the end has this little tidbit:

New and expanded refundable tax credits would raise the fraction of taxpayers paying no income taxes to almost 50% from 38%

 I am one who believes the government should keep their hands out of the pockets of the people so naturally I should be glad that less people are paying taxes, right? Wrong. The fact that 50% of the people will no longer pay taxes is what will be the tipping point in the American economic system that I alluded to at the beginning of this post.

This is potentially the most pernicious feature of the president’s budget, because it would cement a permanent voting majority with no stake in controlling the cost of general government.

  Lost in the massive amounts of spending that this president has proposed is the fact that half of America will no longer be paying taxes. Half of the people who vote will have no stake in the government. Half of the voters will be drains on the economy looking to vote to ensure that the cash continues to flow from the producers to the non-producers.

  President Obama has managed to do in six weeks what Democrats have been salivating over and planning for years, and that is to increase the government handouts until they reach a majority of non-producers who will vote to keep Democrats in power so that they can continue to live off of the backs of working Americans.

  “A permanent voting majority with no stake in controlling the cost of general government,” means a permanent voting block of Democrats. A permanent welfare class leeching off of the government with no hope or desire to better themselves.

   This will fundamentally rock the foundation that the American economy is based on. President Obama’s policies have not helped the economy and in truth they are not designed to. He is accomplishing his desired goal as the stock market collapses because his goal is to increase government dependence.

  We can sit here and say that this president’s policies haven’t accomplished anything if we assume that his policies were supposed to help the economy. But his policies have accomplished something, they have accomplished their ultimate objection. To subjugate the American people to permanent Democrat rule.

  The way that he has accomplished this goal through stealth maneuvering is brilliantly devious. While Americans were worried about the economy and their jobs President Obama swooped in and through stimulus packages, spending, and government programs he managed to quietly make half of the people in the country non-producers.

  This is something that the American worker may never recover from, we will have to work harder, longer hours as our taxes increase to pay for those who will now be voting to ensure themselves that they won’t have to.

  There was a reason that the founding fathers believed that only land owners should be able to vote. They only wanted people who had a stake in the government, only people who had something to lose, to be able to vote, because they knew that once people who had nothing to lose and every thing to gain in the outcome of elections became the majority that this is exactly what would happen.

  And now it is happening.
