Ocassional Thoughts of an Independent Progressive Atheistic Humanist
On FOX “news” Sunday, the panel decided that the Occupy movement was un-American and maybe even Marxist but during the Tea Party protests FOX “news” fell over itself to promote them. There is no difference between the Occupy movement and the Tea Party protests – in that they both were an exercise of their right to protest for what they believe in. To say one is “un-American” and the other isn’t betrays FOX’s bias toward the 1%.
Brit Hume was upset Sunday because President Obama plans to raise taxes on those who make more than $250,000 a year. Well, I would be upset too if my whole world view was trashed in the course of a couple years as my house of cards came crashing down. The problem for people like Hume is they have no idea they did anything wrong. I have only a few words to say about that….
And the idea that you’re going to be able to squeeze out of the rich, who will move their money around and invest in such a way to avoid it as much as they can, this much money in tax receipts is crazy. There’s only one way to get a big gusher of tax receipts out of the wealthy and everybody else and that is with an extraordinarily booming economy. And normally what happens is you get that when tax rates, which he proposes to allow to increase here go down. Not up.
Williams: Let me give you an alternative point of view. An alternative point of view is that 40% that you’re talking about, those people earn about half of all the money that’s earned in America. They’re blessed to be in this country and to have the opportunity and why shouldn’t they be responsible and pay their fair share of taxes?
Brit Hume Has a Snit Over Obama’s Tax Plan “Squeezing the Rich”
See it’s like this Brit:
YOUR FRIENDS STOLE ALL THE FUCKING MONEY AND IF NO ONE IS GOING TO JAIL THEN THEY OWE RESTITUTION.
GET OVER IT!
