Why The Democrats Class Warfare Rhetoric Is Complete Bull$#!+

You'll often hear Democrat politicians like Barack Hussein Obama, Howard "Screamin" Dean or Nancy "Nazi" Pelosi going on and on about how the wealthiest Americans don't pay their "fair share".  Is this really the case?  Well, let's take a look at the numbers.

Here is the top 1% of American wage earners, represented by a tiny sliver on this pie chart.  We're not talking about a big group here.  Bill Gates is in there, my pal Warren Buffet is in there, most successful entrepeneurs are in there, most Doctors and lawyers are in there and pretty much all the professional athletes and Hollywood stars are in there too.  The top 1% is basically anyone earning over $375,000 a year.

Now let's look at income. 

Obviously there have always been people who work harder, are smarter, and/or are luckier than the rest of us.  This is true all around the world, and all throughout history.  I don't think any rational person would want to change society so everyone got the same income as every other person.  Things would quickly grind to a halt, because there'd be nothing for anyone to work or strive for.

So as it stands here in the real world, the top 1% earn 18% of all the income.

Now let's keep in mind that the top 1% are a mostly self sufficient bunch.  They don't use government services at anywhere near the rate of the poorest of Americans or even the middle class, yet take a look at their tax burden!

How the hell is this even fair?  And more importantly, how is it not paying their "fair share" as the Democrats so frequently claim?

Obviously the claim that these people aren't paying their "fair share" is an outright lie.  I believe the deception is deliberate, and is intended to keep the uneducated "working people" riled up and voting Democrat.

The truth is that the top 1% are getting hosed by the system far, far worse than any of us regular Joes, and all these lying liberals know it.  Worse yet, these same lying politicians want the top 1% to pay an even BIGGER share.  They would tax this country back into the stone age if they could, all in the pursuit of some warped idea of "fairness" power.

Woody, for any rational person, this is simply a *duh* moment. Anyone who does NOT realize this is either hiding their head under their armpit (actually, in a somewhat lower and darker anatomical position) or is deliberately dissimulating (they realize it but lie their faces off about it).

I'm in agreement that libtard/Dhimmicrappic/leftist leaders and their management drones are in the second class.

You are correct David, but that's why I posted it, and why I included the visual aids.

The masses haven't a clue, because the MSM/DNC Cabal feeds them a steady diet of propoganda from cradle to grave.

This serves as my tiny little counterpunch.

Keep throwing those punches, Woody. And given the nature of the enemy, don't bother with any Marquis of Queensbury rules. Kick 'em when they're down, gouge their eyes, but do NOT attempt to kick 'em in the balls. You don't have the time to waste using a microscope to find 'em.

I should point out that I don't necessarily agree with the article itself but the email in question "Beware of the Dinosaurs" is a gem.

As far as that chart I’d like to see the % of people who literally pay negative taxes, that is get tax credits. Our country has to barrow money (and call it stimulus) to fund shovel ready jobs, in other words jobs that should have been paid for out of the normal budget like road work and bridge repair, yet my money is going towards paying for tax-day charismas for people who don’t work or had way more kids then they should have had on their incomes.

"During 2006, Tax Foundation economists estimate that roughly 43.4 million tax returns, representing 91 million individuals, will face a zero or negative tax liability. That's out of a total of 136 million federal tax returns that will be filed. Adding to this figure the 15 million households and individuals who file no tax return at all, roughly 121 million Americans—or 41 percent of the U.S. population—will be completely outside the federal income tax system in 2006.1 This total includes those who pay no tax, and those who pay some tax upfront and are later refunded the full amount of the tax paid or more."

Yeah, that was a good e-mail. Unfortunately they did not make clear that neither Wall St. or Bush are responsible for this thing.
