Comments on: Hey Mike Rowe – How Do You Talk About Taxes Without Mentioning “Rich” or “Poor”? https://mikerowe.zestsms.com/2011/10/mike-rowe-is-challenged-to-give-a-virtual-speech-on-the-very-real-subject-of-taxes-debt-spending/ Mon, 06 Apr 2015 03:06:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.9 By: Alan https://mikerowe.zestsms.com/2011/10/mike-rowe-is-challenged-to-give-a-virtual-speech-on-the-very-real-subject-of-taxes-debt-spending/#comment-2267 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:47:35 +0000 http://www.mikeroweworks.com/?p=38714#comment-2267 Interesting. You seemed to be on both sides of the argument. On the one hand, your show promotes the little guy, the guy working for his bread, hard work every day. The guy that in the past would normally be able to work his way up the ladder, perhaps provide a nice, middle class living for his family. But your posting defends the rich bastards that are the cause of this economic disaster – the ones that have done nothing for their money other than profit from the generosity of the American people by scheming and lying and stealing from them.

Let me guess – you’ve completely forgotten your roots when I imagine you were a struggling opera singer or even a shill for QVC selling crap. Now I assume you’re a rich dude with more money that you’ve ever seen before. And you’ve made it so you realize that you are now a 1% person and gee how nice it is to be up there. And I bet you think you did it all by yourself.

BTW: A little skepticism would go a long way towards keeping people from wanting to boycott you. Can you see no possibility that a study paid for my a paper towel company would come to the conclusion that paper towels are better than laundered cloth towels? Naw.

Someone asked Benjamin Franklin something to the effect of , “So what sort of government have you given us?” To which he supposedly replied, “A Republic-if you can keep it.” That seems to be the dilemma we find ourselves in. If people can treat our republic as a democracy and vote themselves benefits from the treasury, there’ll soon be nothing left. And further taxing (which is also defined as to make excessive demands upon) those who cover the majority of the bills will ensure that they take their business and their dollars elsewhere in this global economy. Greed is what’s led to much of the corporate outsourcing, but it’s predominately the greed of our government and bureaucracy. Sorry to nitpick. Just found your site because of an article about your address to congress. Was very impressed. You probably understand these issues better than the overwhelming majority of “public servants”. (A garbageman is a true public servant-he takes something unpleasant and removes it. Congress produces copious amounts of garbage and then leaves it for us to deal with.)

Please tell her to add her”Leave a comment” at the bottom of her page, so other can leave a message for her. Your mom is “way” cool and I thank you for keeping both of your parents busy, but please don’t over do it. I didn’t realize it took 10 hours to do a 30 second commercial. That wears me out just thinking about it and I’m four days younger than you.Well, got to go take my nap now. Keeps me young. Thanks for all you do. Your devoted fan. Pat from Auburn,AL

You, sir, are one of my heroes! I only wish that others, in the positions that seem to control the reins, would wise up and remember what our country is about; an amazing country full of opportunities and one which more often than not, rewards hard work. It is NOT, as many would have it, a country that should “equalize” all and reward those who demand to have what their neighbors have so it can be perceived as “fair”. I was taught early on, that life may not be “fair”, but what a fabulous life it is – especially in such a country as ours!
