One of the greatest achievements in the life of an astronomer is to discover a new planet or solar system. In the political world, the equivalent is uncovering a new voting bloc.
When writing my latest book, "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values," I discovered a relatively unknown constituency: the 30% of American voters who do not pay federal income taxes.
These Americans are exempt from paying income taxes either because their income level is below the threshold that would require them to pay, or their total deductions leave them with no income-tax liability.
So I set out to determine exactly who these people are and what makes them tick. In conjunction with Zogby America, I conducted a series of carefully orchestrated polls. For more results than I can write about here, you'll have to buy my book or go to www.BarackObamaTest.com.
First, I found that 60% of likely voters among nontaxpaying Americans favor Obama for president, whereas only 31% favor John McCain. In addition, a majority of the 30% of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes agree with Obama's $65 billion plan to institute taxpayer-funded, universal health coverage.

The “takers” want to suck more lifeblood out of the “producers” and will elect the guy who will do that. No surprise there. And Obama wants to increase the “taker” class to somewhere near 50%. This does not bode well.
Outstanding article.
Raise the highest tax rate from 35 percent (probably too high ...) to 54 percent ...? Whoa. I feel dizzy.
Really, in a parasitic way?
Every now and then the Democrat Lite Party (GOP) loosens the bit in our mouths, and says if we don't swag over, they'll let the Dems whip us.
The GOP LOVES the Dems. Without them, they'd be seen as what they are. Big Government, big tax.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what they say. I know they “TRY”.
IF the GOP believed in the people, they would stand up and say that if we get a GOP President, a GOP Congress, they'd abolish the Federal income tax. They’s make it unconstitutional. It ‘taint gonna happen. They are liars and have no balls.
All that, like a prisoner in my own country, I'll drift my vote to them in November and then go wash my hands and sit in a bar.

Flat tax that 30%; nobody should come out unscathed!
Rush was just talking about the War on Taxpayers.
