My Question Boards

I have to cease my participation in the discussion boards on The Motley Fool site because they are now charging for that privilege. As I have described before, I had already been phasing myself out of that site because of the nasty criticism I had received from other users who didn’t like my philosophy of trying to help people pay less taxes. The fact that the main moderators are former IRS employees, who obviously still share Big Brother’s viewpoint that all money belongs to the imperial Federal government and that anyone who tries to reduce their payments is an evil greedy person, explains this.

While I gladly pay to subscribe to dozens of websites that I feel are worth their costs, I can’t justify paying the Fool for their pay more taxes attitude.

I am still answering questions on one other main site:

AskMe.com is my favorite and the one I use most often, including getting answers to other topics I need help with.

Evil Rich

Some people are missing my sarcasm when I use the term Evil Rich.

I am a 100% pure capitalist and do not consider anyone to be evil just because of their wealth. However, I have long blasted our rulers in Washington for picking on what Dick Gephardt describes as “the winners of life’s lottery.” There are literally dozens of tax rules that penalize those people that our rulers consider to be the Evil Rich. The taxation of Social Security benefits is one of the worst. Congress considers anyone who has AGI of more than $25,000 to be an evil rich target.

People accept this persecution of the better off because there is a pervasive tone in this country to hate anyone who has more than you have, regardless of how that money was obtained. I think this attitude is disgusting and one way I am trying to remedy it is to expose and ridicule it. If one says nothing, it will continue to grow.

I hope that clears this up.
