...”President Obama is a man of boundless eloquence”...

When will writers stop propagating this flagrant distortion? Barack Obama without a TelePrompter is worse than GWB on his worst day.

If an analysis were done about who was “giving” and who was “receiving” in all of BO’s policies,

we’d all get a pretty good idea of the real word for it:
“reparations”

During his private meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans on Friday, President Obama ended a philosophical debate over tax policy with the simple declaration that his opinion prevailed because “I won.”

The top one percent of earners claimed 22.1 percent of all the adjusted gross income that year, but they paid 39.9 percent of all income taxes.

I'm so tired of this argument, not only because it is NOT fair or representative, but because it is politically stupid.

You won't convince anybody NOT paying taxes that it would be more fair if they carried more of the burden. That's all they see with this kind of data byte.

Here is the reality: By the time the poor pay Social Security and MediCare taxes, sales taxes, taxes in the products they buy, and property taxes in their rent, they probably pay MORE taxes as a percentage of their income than the rich do, particularly those wealthy who shelter their incomes.

Those tax programs are ALL welfare traps, supposedly freebies proffered by their "friends" in the Slave Party. Talking about that's is where you'll get the attention of people whose political support we need to win on conservative principles.
