WHY would the Heritage Foundation call the -
"Small Business Lending Fund" a "Slush Fund"?
====

I looked it up -

Definitions of slush fund on the Web:

* a fund for buying votes or bribing public officials
wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
* Slush fund is a colloquial term which has come to mean an auxiliary monetary account or a reserve fund. However, the term has special meaning within a context of corrupt (including but not limited to) political dealings by governments, large corporations or other bodies and individuals. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slush_fund
* Money stored for illegal or dishonest purposes
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/slush_fund
* A fund (or something similar) that does not have a designated purpose. These types of funds are often illegal.

Do you not understand that ALL taxes paid by the rich and corporations are
simply passed down to consumers?


*** Right away,
we have a problem.
The HF Said - "Families making $250,000 and over."
It DID NOT MENTION - Corps.

Question - How is Taxing Rush Limbaugh
passed on to me?

Ans ---- it isn't.


When a business is figuring out how much to charge for it's products, it
factors in cost of goods sold, normal operating expenses and TAXES that will
have to be paid and then they come up with their price per widget.

So... if you increase taxes on a business (whether a bank, wall street firm,
corner mom and pop biz, etc.), the consumers WILL pay all of those taxes.

Since most rich people own their own businesses (whether an actual business,
professional service, or just very valuable employee), taxing the rich will
result in the same thing. If these rich people are currently paying
themselves $1M a year and paying 40% in federal taxes, they are living off
of $600K. If you raise their tax rate to 50%, then they'll have to pay
themselves $1.2 million to end up with the same net $600K so their higher
incomes will now be factored into the cost of their goods/services so the
customer ends up paying the higher taxes due to the higher prices for these
goods/services.

This is plain and simple economics and ALL politicians know this but are
able to create class envy and push their tax the rich schemes with the
support of the lower class and the worse thing...

the ignorant lower class
doesn't even realize that they will be paying all of these added taxes.

That was SO KInd of you to tell me,
and you can rest assured I will pass it on to
All of MY "ignorant Lower Class" Friends.

Keep 'em coming.
