Senator Orrin Hatch Thinks The Tax System Is Unfair Because It Doesn’t Tax Poor People Enough
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, has been making the argument in a different way, pushing a recent report that 51 percent of Americans don’t pay any income taxes. To Hatch and his Republican colleagues, the report is perfect evidence that the rich already pay too much in taxes. The answer to that problem, as Hatch explained on MSNBC’s Daily Rundown today, is to revamp the tax code in order to make middle- and lower-class Americans pay their fair share.
HATCH: Well, Bastiat, the great economist of the past said, the place where you’ve got to get revenues has to come from the middle class. That’s the huge number of people that are there.

Hatch says things that makes me think he is the one on DRUGS. That man should retire, not today, but yesterday. He is a nut.

Leave it Hatch to mention a French economist that was born in 1801 as a reason to tax the poor. Old coot.
“Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim - when he defends himself - as a criminal.” Bastiat.
Right out of the Republican playbook, I'll need a way back machine to keep up with these oldsters in the GOP.
