* Well, it might need to take your money if you make more than it thinks you should–today Obama thinks $250,000 is too much. Maybe next year it will be $200,000.

Maybe?

When, in the annals of history, has a government that has been given free reign to take the people’s purse at their whim…not continued to find reason to take more? Once the government loses respect for the invasive nature of taxation at its core, it engages in Little Shop of Horrors economics. Audrey II has got a taste for blood and it wants more.

“Feed Me!”, cries the beast. “FEED ME!”, it demands.

There is no way to feed the beast on the backs of the quarter million dollar club, while simultaneously building a “social justice shopping list” in which the search for more and more blood to feed Audrey II’s growing appetite reaches frenzied proportions.

FEED ME! Capital gains gives a pint then a gallon. FEED ME! 401k’s tap a vein, then an artery. FEED ME! Inheritance taxes take blood from the dead and give it to the dying.

FEED ME! Audrey II Economics at work as the “rich” get redefined as those who pay taxes vs. those who “need”. FEED ME! Audrey II Economics just made Joe the Plumber rich. It was easy. They didn’t provide him with any more income, they just changed the definition of “rich”. You make $42,000?…. Poof…now you are “rich” at least by the new definition. So, …..FEED ME!
