Fox 24-hour Propaganda Channel will convince a large percentage of hard-working Americans to vote against their economic interests, but Obama will still prevail.
Simple facts that elephants can’t grasp- is it the design of their feet? Trunks ARE quite tactile but maybe the smell of their own proposals repels them?
Wow…let’s see now…the “super rich” pay almost 30% of taxes (the top 1%), and the middle class pay less than 15% (in total amount). The top 5% pay about 44% of all taxes. Where do you dolts get your information? From nit-wit propagandists like Steve Benson?
Obama is in no position to be lecturing anyone about ANYTHING. The man is a MORON when it comes to the real world, and what to do with government finances. He’s a 100% Marxist ideologue, with absolutely no perspective of history (a deadly combination). Obviously, that doesn’t mean anything to Obama-bots.
The GOP calls it class warfare because even some of the richest people in the US want to pay their fair share like everyone else, and they’ve got no other argument to make.
Don’t bother me with the facts, my mind is made up.
John Steele Gordon: The other pernicious consequence of the separate corporate and personal income taxes has been a field day for demagogues and the misguided to claim that the rich are not paying their “fair share.” Warren Buffett recently claimed that he had paid only $6.9 million in taxes last year. But Berkshire Hathaway, of which Mr. Buffett owns 30%, paid $5.6 billion in corporate income taxes. Were Berkshire Hathaway a Subchapter S corporation and exempt from corporate income taxes, Mr. Buffett’s personal tax bill would have been 231 times higher, at $1.6 billion.
17.4% only if you have a special law on your income [chelsea law] or zero if you have a treaty [soros] but if self employed 50% — still 17.4 % higher than 0% [1/2 people]
The “subject” is the fact that the central oligarchy owns ALL of the wealth in America, since they can arbitrarily claim as much of it as they please. THAT is the subject of the matter. It ALL belongs to Washington, DC, but none of that matters to you idiots.
Hey Trollette… when were hedge fund mangers strictly Republican? NEVER! You Leftys never admit how many of your own are dramatically guilty of the crimes you lay at our door step.

Benson is a hater. He was kicked out of the Mormon church.
He promulgates all lies about conservatives including the proven lie that Buffet pays less in taxes than anyone else.
The truth is, Buffet’s income is mostly based on investments which have already been taxed at nearly 50%.
It is time for the 49% here that pay NO tax to pay at least 5-10% so they have standing to bitch.

That’s true. Rall is the only intellectually honest lefty cartoonist in existence. The rest are mouth-breathing morons.
