Are You Really Patiotic

What Biden is advocating is called Socialism, but you can call it Income Redistribution, Patriotism, or even Caring if that will make you feel better. Who should profit from your hard work – you, or the guy down the street whose joy in life is waiting for the Government check to show up? I will help those in need by giving to the ones I feel are worthy, I do not want Washington to take my money, skim off 35%, then allocate it as the see fit in order to pander more votes. My wife and I are much better off now than we were eight years ago, and even though our 401K’s have taken a beating, we understand that a good portion of the economy is cyclical, and should have enough time to recoup our loses. If, on the other hand, we had been shaken down for more taxes – we would not see a dime of it. We are middle class but are very comfortable, and fortunate to live in the US and Alabama. We own a nice home, cars, and a decent boat because of our work, not because of Robin Hood – that is patriotism.
