Poor people don't consume as much and still pay orders less than the rich in sales tax - which is only a State tax btw, and not revenue to the Federal treasury. And this is not an argument about how bad it is to be poor. The point is that the poor don't pay the tax, or the future tax that's being used to 'bail-out' Chrisler, by any stretch of imagination or fantasy.
The rich and middle classes are the people who actually pay income tax, corporate tax, gasoline tax, and all other federal taxes that are passed down to the consumers. The poor get subsidies for their transportation, food, shelter, and living from foodstamps and other programs, welfare-hud-section 8, and earned income tax credits. They do not pay taxes. Their burdens are spread out among the people who actually pay the taxes. And in this case the future taxpayers who do not live on social assistance and charity from the producers are gong to foot this bill as well.
I'm assuming the perceived injustice in this case is not that the poor have been forced to pay the tax pissed down the auto industry hole, but that all this money should have been given to increase the welfare benefits of the poor instead of into Chrisler's black hole of bankruptcy. Their (the poor) money was never taken in the first place, yet they supposedly have a right to receive it above the greedy capitalists, right? The problem is that the poor didn't pay that money, won't pay that money, and the rich have paid that money and got nothing. You should be thankful because it's the stated common goal of every wealth hating, closet communist on this board.
The real problem for all of you morally bankrupt do-gooders is that the greedy capitalist/owners are now UAW unions and workers and that leftist argument is now forced to examine its own idiopathic philosophy. A task I'm sure will be done flippantly and subsequently erased from the common meme, immediately replaced with inane capitalist culpability.
