Biden: Wealthy Americans Must Pay More Taxes to Show Patriotism

Biden: Wealthy Americans Must Pay More Taxes to Show Patriotism - America’s Election HQ

WASHINGTON — Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans...

...“We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people,” Biden said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: “It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut.”

Here we go...

I have a question. If it so "patriotic" for wealthy Americans to pay higher taxes, why isn't Biden calling on everyone to be patriotic?

Biden says what he means without really meaning to. "We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people.” Take from the rich and give to the poor. Robin Hood all over again, except, let's be more accurate. It's STEAL from the rich...

Another 'progessive' once said "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". That was Karl Marx, author of The Communist Manifesto and father of Communism.
