Julián “Commie” Castro’s anti-“working families” tax plan

Pratt on TexasThe Statesman headline read: “Julián Castro proposes major tax revisions in plan to ‘put working families first’” and right off the bat reported that the Commie Castro of San Antonio says if elected president he would immediately raise taxes on what he call wealthy people.

As an aside, most all the billionaire deal-making entrepreneurs I’ve studied live with work weeks and schedules Democrats would call criminal exploitation if applied to others. If you did some serious investigation you’d find that folk like Boone Pickens, Jerry Jones, the late Ross Perot or Lee Iacocca, you name ‘em, worked sixty and more hours per week most every week of their lives including into their 70’s. Wealthy people are usually working people too.

Julian “Commie” Castro

In usual Leftist class-conscience fashion Commie Castro’s rhetoric is set to make people believe that anyone who makes significantly more than do they is somehow getting away without paying their fair share. And, it’s an idea that is generally poppycock.

And right out of Commie Castro’s Marxist handbook, he has proposed yet another “inherited wealth” tax which, in raising the $250 billion for the taxman he claims, would most certainly destroy family-owned small businesses, farms, and ranches where asset values are often quite high but income modest at best.

But instead of arguing the arcane points of his already proven-to-fail Leftist economic ideas, I ask you this question, and it’s one we should seriously ask voters one-on-one: How exactly are “working families” benefited by punishing those who create and provide them with jobs?

And another: How do you get a raise at work by the government taking a big chunk more of the boss’s money?
