Obama to snatch up to 75% of your income - Federal government could confiscate more than half of everything earned


Only 42% of the US population is earning income from private sources. The rest rely on government. Is it a stretch to think, with all of Obama's redistribution talk, that the overall tax rates will reach those of European countries noted above?

Excerpt:
"In a five-day work week, will Americans be willing to work four days for the government?" Corsi asked.

Corsi noted that even high levels of taxation are not sufficient in Europe to prevent debt levels from rising to crisis proportions, as has been seen in Greece and is looming on the horizon in Portugal, Spain and Italy.

"These are the real costs of income redistribution, as taxpayers are made to bear the taxation costs of generous pension plans for government employees at all levels of government – federal, state and local – as well as funding Social Security, paying for Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare and funding welfare, including educating the children of illegal immigrants in Spanish in public schools," he wrote.
