Lies, damnable lies and statistics....


To paraphrase Clinton, it all depends on what your definition of 'income
earner' is.

Many of the wealthiest people have very, very modest annual
honourariums. Their real income is directed or manipulated through non
taxed channels.

Paying forty percent tax on one twentieth of your total income is a
sweet deal.

Yes, speaking of LIES.

Some logic, there, Bubba.

Glad you think so---it's worked very well for a couple of centuries



Not the way you do it, no.

Your premises are gratuitously based in the fundament that 'there
are no enemies on the Left, and that there is no honor on the Right.'

Gratuitously denied.

That's also worked for a couple of centuries.

The notion that you can simply plunder private wealth under the
brand of 'fair share of expenses for running the society' flatly
denies that the private wealth is already taxed at a dramatically,
confiscatorily, higher rate than the base of the population. Which
those who consume the bulk of services provided by the society pay
little share of the expenses of running the society. Many, nearly
25%, pay zero share at all.

If you're going to tax income, and claim 'fair share' then tax
all income. Otherwise call it for what it is: Plunder of private
wealth. In which case the word 'fair' doesn't belong in your mouth.

They already do. 50% of all Federal Income Taxes are paid by the
top 1% of income
earners.

But they own 90% of the wealth

They contribute no bodies for war


False on its face.


Look at the number of Veterans who sit at the top of that wealth.



They contribute to no policy or acts which make society better

Also false on its face. Look at the number of Congresspersons who
served. Compare that number to the number of wealthy in the
Congress, and when you compare THAT number to the number of
Democrats in Congress, you see that the preponderance of private
wealth in the hands of Congress persons is primarily in the hands of
Democrats, as substantial number of which who served.

You may want to actually look at the facts before you assert
'fairness' in your plunder of private wealth.

Nonsense

they pay a pittance on the wealth in percentage of what they "earn"
where the bottom earners pay nearly all of their income after living
expenses.



Go back a few posts. The IRS numbers are there.

That has no bearing on the case. You know full well that Government
NEVER lies or mis-represents ANY situation.

I noticed that the US Military have turned away five airplanes carrying
food and medicine to the Haitians. It seems they need the space for the
munitions they will be using in the invasion of Venezualan next year.

Using a disaster of such magnitude to aid in further military conquest
is OBSCENE.

That is one sick administration you have, I'm sorry to say. I, like
others, had thought Obama would be different. Things are obviously
beyond his control.

Obiteme is an empty suit. Was when he was in Chicago. Was in the
Senate. He's not in control of anything.

He's, at best, a figure head, run by the Party.

Oooohhh....Fans of History: Sound familiar?
