The Blatant Bigotry of Class Warfare.

"Can you judge a man, By the way he wears his hair? Can you read his mind, By the clothes that he wears? Can you see a bad man, By the pattern on his tie?" Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I" At the heart of class warfare is the lie that the more you make, the more you can afford to pay in taxes. Like all other forms of bigotry, this lie is based on the assumption that the bigot can judge others based on mindless preconceived notions. Why do class warfare warriors automatically assume that "the rich" can afford to pay more in taxes just because they make more money? Why do class warfare warriors presume that they should get to decide what others can and can't afford at all? If I make $25,000 a year, but I live on $15,000 a year, I have $10,000 in disposable income. If a "rich" person makes $250 Million a year, but his yearly expenses come to $250 Million then he has no disposable income whatsoever. So who can afford to pay more in taxes, the one who has $10k, or the one who has none? You see, income has nothing to do with what someone can and can't afford. Disposable income has everything to do with it. The class warfare bigot will defend the person who makes $25,000 a year because, why should the frugal person be penalized for being frugal. The rich person who seems to burn through their money so fast should be the one held to the fire for their extravagant lifestyle. So what they are saying is, there should be a law against living within one's means, if those means are too high.. or in other words, punish the rich, not for any crimes they commit, but simply because they are rich... This attitude makes them absolutely no different than the person who would punish Black people simply because they are Black. Jews simply because of their heritage or any other bigotry. "Can you judge a man, By the way he wears his hair? Can you read his mind, By the clothes that he wears? Can you see a bad man, By the pattern on his tie? Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I" It's ironic isn't it. The song protests the bigotry of judging people based on the clothes they wear or the pattern on his tie, yet the class warfare warrior will insist that we should not only judge people based on such things, but tax them accordingly. Blatant Bigotry.
