<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It is time to get serious, and it is time to get tough about tax policy in this country. The middle class, coupled with the rich, make this country work. Those two groups working together in unison are what make this country work. Now, what's slowing this country down?
Tell you who it is.
The poor.
The poor and the lower classes of this country have gotten a free ride ever since the Great Depression, when it became noble to be poor. Look at how we treat the homeless, why we celebrate them, why we make romantic figures out of them, why we make movies about them.
We teach them to dine in Dumpsters now because America is so impolite, America doesn't care, America is so rude.
My friends, we have the wealthiest poor in the world. They're the ones who get all the benefits in this country. They're the ones that are always pandered to.
We have been encouraging poverty because they need government. And Democrats love giving money away to the poor, because it creates a need. And, boy, have we created a dependency class, and do they give anything back, do they pay any taxes? No. They don't have to file any income taxes. They don't pay a thing. They contribute nothing to this country. They do nothing but take from it. It is serious. It is time to get serious about raising taxes on the poor.
Now, I know what you're saying. You're saying, "But, Rush, what do we do if we can't collect the money they owe? What if they just can't pay?"
The poor in this country have an average of three television sets in their house. Let's go get two of them. I am sick and tired of playing the one phony game I have had to play, and that is this so-called compassion for the poor. I don't have compassion for the poor, because I think they can do something about it.
What if we all decided to be poor? What if we all said, "I don't want to pay taxes. I'll just be poor, and I'll rely on the Democrats, and I'll derive my happiness by watching the news on my television set that the rich are going to be punished."
