Tax cheat Timothy Geithner believes that the evil rich need to be taxed for “the privilege of being an American.”  

“And that’s the kind of balance you need. And why is that the case? Because if you don’t try to generate more revenues through tax reform, if you don’t ask the, you know, the most fortunate Americans to bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American, then you have to — the only way to achieve fiscal sustainability — is through unacceptably deep cuts in benefits for middle class seniors, or unacceptably deep cuts in national security.”

There’s that  “most fortunate” crapola again. Democrats and proggies don’t’ like to recognize individual achievement and excellence … so if you do manage to make something of yourself; if you somehow rise above the parasite stage, it is not as if you worked to get there … you were just lucky. You were fortunate.   Geithner seems to imply that people who are rich acquired their wealth, not because of their hard work or talent, but because they were lucky.  And as for this “privilege of being an American.”  Stuff …. Yeah, oh how lucky we are to have these wonderful Democrats running and planning every moment of our lives. 

And by the way, it is mathematically impossible to “achieve fiscal sustainability” by increasing taxes on the rich.  Remember that you can confiscate all of the income and assets from all the evil rich people in America, along with the profits of every Fortune 500 company, and it would only be enough money to fund out federal government for about eight months. 

Then what?
