Man who shot himself dead on steps of Capitol was carrying 'Tax the 1%' sign

Daily Mail ^ | 4/12/15

Liberals should not be allowed to own firearms.

[concerned about politics]

and a sign that said something about 'social justice.'

Another policy failure by the oboma administration. This lost soul probably thought he was going to get a million dollar oboma check for the last 6 years. "Oboma promised!" He just couldn't wait for his boat load of free oboma cash any longer, or he realized it was all just another oboma lie and he'd been played for a sucker.

Sad. Oboma lied. This man died.

[left that other site]

You are correct about that.

But don’t call me “Shirley.”

[flaglady47]

Another Occupy Wall Street type, and commie pinko, who the MSM will try to desperately turn into a Repubican or will ignore the whole story entirely.

[ronnie raygun]

One less dependent on the tax payers back!

[SoFloFreeper]

One less Hillary voter? I don’t think so. He’ll probably vote twice in 18 months: one time in Chicago, another in Philadelphia.

News comes from the UK Daily Mail. That’s because the American Mainstream Press censors news that might make lefties look bad. But don’t worry, they’ll make up for it by getting out the trumpets when a conservative does something stupid.

[bigbob]

Dude, we do that. But you’re still dead.

[windcliff]

But did he file taxes for 2014.

[fatnotlazy]

For a while, every time someone shot up a school or whatever, the lamestream media would immediately have some pundit who would say, surely the shooter is a right wing nut. Then 5 minutes later we would find out he was either a registered Democrat or had no party affiliation.

After having been wrong a few times, I notice the media doesn't speculate on the shooter's politics that often.

Top 1% pay 24% of taxes - http://dailysignal.com/2014/11/13/richest-1-percent-americans-pay-24-percent-federal-taxes/

[realcleanguy]

That’s funny.

He couldn't have shot himself. That is a gun free zone.

[Thibodeaux]

The 1%
Those are the queers

[depressed in 06]

If he was going to kill himself, and, since he is dead, the evidence is he was, he could have let ISIS do it and everybody wins. Especially, if the Jihadi is killed and gets 72 virgins. I think he was being exceptionally selfish.

[DoughtyOne]

So lets see.

You want to make a big statement that Congress will hear.

So what do you do? You kill yourself on the capital steps while Congress is on recess?

Not only do the top 1% pay about 1/3rd of all taxes, a growing number of people on the bottom end not only don’t pay taxes, but they get earned income tax credits, that allow them to pocket other people’s money.

He hates the idea of the top earners getting a free ride because that would be ripping the system off, but he has no problem at all with the bottom end ripping the system off.

Duh.

[knarf]

I think I've read every reply here and ... no one has commented that they never heard of this until this thread ...

Am I living in a bubble ?

[PA Engineer]

A complete coward. If he had any courage of his convictions, he would have poured gasoline on himself and lit a match.

All Progs are a danger to themselves, society or both.

[DoughtyOne]

No, the other report referenced suicide. (the 11th)

Speaking of taxes. I support a war tax on every American and corporation that is wholly dedicated to pay for our wars with debt and instead of sending the bill to subsequent generations. I’ve been saying this since 2003.

If Americans are serious about balanced budgets and a need for every citizen to sacrifice instead of only the military families, we need this. Without the draft it is too easy for our politicians to declare war and borrow from China.
