Proggies in the House have a vision for your future.  They, unlike their Democrat Senate counterparts, have unveiled a budget for 2013.  If you want to see the big-government desires of the proggies and libs, this budget should spell it out …

• The proposed budget increases taxes by $4.7 trillion more than Obama proposed in his own budget last month.  Those tax increases come from …
  • $897 billion from imposing an energy tax on carbon fuels
  • $849 billion from taxing Wall Street trades
  • $319 billion comes from a millionaires surtax
  • Ending the Bush-era tax rates for the wealthy
• $2.9 trillion in new stimulus spending to “put Americans back to work,” creating a new jobs corps program
• Cancels the cuts in last August’s debt-ceiling deal
• Establishes an infrastructure bank

Does that sound like a free and thriving America to you?  Notice that libs and proggies are intent on two things: growing the size of government and demonizing private enterprise or success.  Notice that the only people “punished” by their tax increases are Wall Street, the evil rich and energy producers.  These libs and proggies are intent on growing the size of our government – not of our economic pie – but of our government, and they will do this by redistributing the wealth from those who are successful in the private marketplace.

On the other side of the Capitol, Senate Democrats have come up with their own version of a small business tax cut.  The proposal would give a 10% tax cut for hiring new workers or raising employee pay.  The bill would also allow for a full deduction of any significant investments made this year. 

This is all well and good, but take a look at how the Democrats are making a wealth-envy issue out of their proposal.  Harry Reid says, “The tax cut we provide is targeted to small businesses, not big corporations that are already raking in profits.”  Don’t you love that?  Evil corporations and their evil profits … which are the retirement plans for millions of Americans.  But that’s beside the point. 

Harry Reid wasn’t finished.  He says, “That is a key distinction between the way Democrats and Republicans approach this very important issue. Our tax cut is targeted to help small businesses while Republican efforts are just camouflaged handouts to the wealthiest in America.”  Handouts to wealthy Americans.  Wealth envy is foaming from his mouth.  Democrats just can’t stand it when the wealthy are successful.  Little do they realize that the success of corporations and wealthy Americans helps to grow the size of our economic pie.  Then again, Democrats aren’t interested in growing the pie.  They are interested in redistributing the pie to those who are “less fortunate.”
