Recently addressing young Republicans in New Hampshire. Michele Bachmann went into the dark and mysterious halls of history (for her) to pluck an anualogy best left on the tree. Bachmann shared that when she first learned of the horrible Holocaust she was filled with questions for her elders, demanding to know what her mother and others did to stop the unspeakable acts.
"I tell you this story because I think in our day and time, there is no anualogy to that horrific action." "But only to say, we are seeing eclipsed in front of our eyes a similar death and a similar taking away. It is this disenfranchisement that I think we have to answer to."
Wait, I thought she said that there was no anualogy to ‘that horrific action.’ How can we be seeing something similar in any way?
"The generation of Americans just entering the work force now could eventually see 75 percent of their earnings sucked up by income taxes, Social Security and Medicare." Bachmann said. "Those young workers are going to wonder what people were doing while "watching quite literally our economic liberty pulled out from under us."
Nicely played, oh wacky one. Place the guilt of the runaway Tax Holocaust on the present generation of tax payers, because we are so greedy that we cling to our Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security – all of the things which will bring a financial crisis down upon the heads of the wee ones. In fact, we are so guilty, that the thought of taxing the wealthy – and solving the problem, doesn’t enter our minds, in Bachmann World.
