Let’s begin today’s story with a
quiz.
Q: What do Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil
Young, and Dave Matthews, have in common?
A: They all tried to rally America
Yes, they all fought hard and
said some nasty things about our Commander-in-Chief. Why?
Because Mr. Trump said he wanted to
repeal the ever punitive “Estate Tax.”
In case you don’t know what the
Estate Tax is, it is otherwise known as the “death tax,” which is imposed by
the greedy among us on people who die.
Indeed, we all will die, and this
is just another easy way to make money.
Not unlike taking a large insurance policy out on someone, then killing
them for it, the estate tax is something that benefits some of us while punishing
the rest.
How can we, as Americans, lose if
the dead must pay-up for the right to die?
Let’s examine this simple
question.
Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp,
Neil Young, and Dave Matthews, are also performing at this year’s annual Farm
Aid concert. Yep, Farm Aid.
Farm Aid is one of those inane
feel-good efforts used by The Left to make sensible Americans feel stupid. Allow me to explain.
In 1985, this benefit for the
egos of Willie and John began to counteract the perpetually greedy banks from
“stealing” farms and their equipment from multi-generational farmers.
You see, some farms are pretty
large and require updated, reliable machinery to till, plant, spray, harvest,
shuck, dig, sort, and perform a multitude of other necessary tasks, to keep
their homesteads operational and efficient.
Unfortunately, many of these
farming families often find themselves in financial straights, with buying some
of these tractors and harvesters on credit, with the farm itself as collateral.
The problems arise when the
farmer dies before the loan is paid off in-full.
The banks then foreclose on the
farm because the family must sell it to pay for the loan. Or, they must allow their new equipment to be
repossessed, for lack of payment. Where
did the money go?
Remember that estate tax? Democrats have been killing hard-working
Americans for years with the ‘death-by-a-thousand-cuts’ method.
Tax the land, tax the machinery,
tax the fuel, tax tires twice, and now, tax the inevitable – death.
It aides Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp,
Neil Young, and Dave Matthews, to sanctimoniously appear to help these
down-trodden farmers who suffer from one major loss of life, then their homes,
then their livelihoods, and eventually their dignity.
This is all for money to take
from the hard working farmers, to redistribute it to the lazy among us. And now the Farm Aid egoists want you to feel
bad about this situation.
“Keep the family farms in the
family,” could be the motto of these simple-minded musicians. It must be the fault of the banks. Wrong.
It is the fault of the greedy
Democrats who need more of your money to keep the sloths languid. If Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, Neil
Young, and Dave Matthews, really want to help, they would personally petition
their Democratic representatives to repeal that over-burdensome tax.
Incidentally, Donald Trump
expressed an interest in repealing the Estate Tax, much to the chagrin of his
Democratic opponents. I’m just saying.
