Do Not Expect A Tax Cut If You Do Not Pay Any Tax


I saw a bumber sticker on the way into work this morning on a lower cost compact car, "I do not earn enough for a tax cut". Since everyone who actually paid federal tax got a tax cut, the bumper sticker should have said "I do not earn enough to pay taxes". The reality is, most people are not tax payers of federal tax. When I hear people complaining about "tax cuts for the rich" I correct them by saying tax cuts for the taxpayers. It is kind of hard to cut your taxes when you do not pay taxes. I saw this from Dan's Show Prep Blog that says:

Overall, we find that America's lowest-earning one-fifth of households received roughly $8.21 in government spending for each dollar of taxes paid in 2004. Households with middle-incomes received $1.30 per tax dollar, and America's highest-earning households received $0.41. Government spending targeted at the lowest-earning 60 percent of U.S. households is larger than what they paid in federal, state and local taxes. In 2004, between $1.03 trillion and $1.53 trillion was redistributed downward from the two highest income quintiles to the three lowest income quintiles through government taxes and spending policy.

Lets say we go out to dinner and the bill is $40 and I decide to pay for both meals and hand the waitress a $100 bill. Who should get the change? Why I should of course, I am the one who paid. How are tax cuts any different?

It Is Official, We Can Now Question Their Patriotism

I am not even going to attempt to hint what this is other than a picture from the recent anti war protest in Portland. If I tried to simply hint at what it shows, I would have to put in a Not Safe For Work warning for that alone. Let me just say DO NOT CLICK HERE unless you are NOT offended EVER!

Stop The Funding If You Want Peace... For The Terrorists

In yesterday's Seattle Times article about the pork filled bill to set a time table to cut and run from Iraq, there is the following line:

"If you want peace, stop funding this war," said Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.

Since the "reporters" are not asking, maybe I should. If we stop funding the war, who exactly will be at peace?

Let's think about what will happen if we stop the funding. Sunnis will get slaughtered just as millions of Vietnames died after we left Siagon. Millions of people in Iraq will now live under Shia law where homosexuality is a death penalty offense, women can not drive, vote or go to school. The terrorists and all of their anti American allies will view this as a victory and embolden them to bring the fight to our land.

So exactly where would the peace be Rep. Kucinich? ... well, besides amongst the terrorists that want to kill us?

Do Not Question Their Patriotism

From LGF... Well.... maybe we can now. Just make sure you listen to the sound, without kids present.
