On Fox & Friends, the crying over higher taxes for people making over $400,000 a year and couples making over $450,000 was on. Brian Kilmeade opened by asking "Is it possible we could see riots in the streets?" He never said what riots or where. Beverly Hills?
Stuart Varney came on to say:
I came here 40 years ago to escape what’s going on over there. I now found that my adopted country is becoming more and more like over there. Senator Graham is right. America, this fiscal cliff deal puts America more firmly on the road to becoming like Europe. In every aspect, we are becoming Europeanized. Our economy, our morality, even our culture is becoming more and more like Europe. Just look at this fiscal cliff deal for a second. There’s no control of spending, just like Europe. Tax the rich, just like Europe. Bigger role for government, just like Europe. Cradle to grave social services preserved, maintained and enhanced, just like Europe.
Varney and Kilmeade each added, “But not paid for.”
If Varney wants to leave us, there will be people, I’m sure, who are willing to pay part of the bill to see him go. But the thing is, he’d be hard-pressed to find a country more favorable to the rich than the USA. According to Reuters, wealthy people enjoy the lowest tax rates here and in the U.K.
