I've been telling you that Barack Obama's plans to tax the evil, filthy ugly rich is going to lead to an economic shutdown. At some point, the achievers are going to give up. They are going to get sick and tired of working hard to achieve and succeed and see their earned wealth be taken away by the point of a gun and given to someone to buy tire shine for the wheels on their house.

Right now, Obama's tax plan makes it pretty clear what is defined as "rich." An individual making $200,000 or a family making $250,000.

Even in the mainstream media, we are starting to hear about the achievers who are looking for ways to decrease their salaries in order to fall under Barack Obama's tax marks. What does this mean? People actually want to make less money, thanks to Barack Obama's tax plans. That means that they employ less people or see less clients. In other words, it leads to a less productive society. A society that is more dependent on the government. There is some point at which people will say "Look, I have enough. I'll continue to work hard, but not for reduced rewards. Time to cut back and take it easy while this country enjoys their new president."

Take a look at this article from ABC News: Upper-Income Taxpayers Look for Ways to Sidestep Obama Tax-Hike Plan. This is real, folks. This isn't me typing out a summary of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged." Read the article and tell me how Obama's tax plans are going to be a benefit to our society.

Here's a little study that came out of Berkeley ... the brains of higher income children function differently than the brains of low-income children. What they did is they tested the brain activity of 9 and 10-year-old kids. They were split into two groups - those who come from evil rich parents and those that come from so-called "less fortunate" households. Then they sat the children down and made them watch sequences of triangles on a screen. Every now and then, a slighted skewed triangle would flash on the screen and the children were instructed to click a button when they saw one. Meanwhile the researchers measured their brain activity in their prefrontal cortex. This is apparently the part of the brain that affects "executive functions" like personality, decision making and social behavior.

You can imagine the results. The children from lower incomes did poorly on the test. Not only did they perform poorly, but in some cases the lower income children responded comparably to "people who have had a portion of their frontal lobe destroyed by a stroke."

What conclusion does this lead us to? The evil rich have highly privileged children not just because of money but because the children are able to develop their brains.

I have at least two guesses here. First, children growing up in wealthy households have their minds challenged more often than children raised in poor households. It simply comes with the territory. If, as an adult, you earn your living (such as it is) with muscle power rather than with mind power .. then it should be no surprise that your children might lag just a bit when it comes to intellectual abilities. By the way .. those who make their livings with their minds are referred to as "privileged," while those who use muscle are referred to as the "working class."

The way to solve this, of course, is to take some of the money away from the "privileged" children who were raised by parents who made their living with their brains, and redistribute it to the children of parents from the so-called "working class."
