Progressive Logic

David Harsanyi offers some entertaining examples of twisted progressive logic today on Real Clear Politics.

Though Walker -- who won office using obnoxious Third World oligarchic tactics, e.g., getting more votes than the other candidate -- is a cancer in the heart of democracy, union-funded Democrats evading their constitutional obligation to cast votes are only protecting the integrity of representative government by completely avoiding democracy.

You're getting it now, right?

In this world, when you tax a citizen a bit less to try to generate economic growth, you are not taking less from the taxpayer, but "stealing" from a third party who, at some point in his life, was told he had an indelible right to your wallet, no matter the cost. And if you don't hand it over? Well, even though Wisconsin is home to some of the nation's highest taxes and even though the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that tax cuts are "not even in effect yet, so they cannot be part of the current problem," you can't stop unionists from blaming "giveaways" to the rich.

And isn't it always the rich?

It's always about the money, for sure.  Progessives want it, believe they're entitled to it, and will stop at almost nothing to get it.  The pipeline for tax payer dollars, through union paychecks to union dues and on to the Democratic party, is a revenue stream that progressives hope to salvage at all costs.

You got it Tom: at the root of it all, its about redistribution of wealth. Every move, from ObamaCare to the Stimulus Bill and everything in between has been about redistribution of wealth from taxpayers to non-taxpayers, or Obamas minions, or Democrats.
