Who's The Fat Cat Now?


For over a decade left wing politicians have ad used the phrase "tax cuts for the rich" ad nauseam. The so called Bush cuts were enacted in 2001 and 2003 lowering rates for all. The top rate of 39.6% was reduced to 35%. The 36% rate to 33% , the 31% to 28% and the 28% to 25%. A new 10% rate was created while no changes to the 15%.  Those with an agenda have only focused on the reduction in the top rate while ignoring the others. President Obama has weighed in from time to time with barbs towards the Wall Street "fat cats" corporations who don't need tax breaks. Well it turns out the "fat cat" might be you.

According to a USA TODAY analysis 90% of federal tax breaks go to individual taxpayers. Since the government started accounting for tax preferences in 1974, the value of tax breaks for individuals has increased seven times faster than that of corporations. Currently that amount is nearly $1.2 trillion a year according to the Feds. Since the Obama administration has come into office, there has undoubtedly been more than a strain of class warfare aimed at the rich. Most notably, the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011, where tens of thousands of disaffected youth converged on New York and dozens of other cities around the country protesting perceived economic injustice. The left's propaganda campaign and class warfare rhetoric has been very effective in creating false perceptions about who receives benefits. So those of you who don't enjoy your tax breaks, I doubt very sincerely that you'll send the money back. To quote the legendary flamboyant Pianist Liberace: "I almost feel guilty about taking the money, but I will."

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
