i am convinced, only conservatives pay their taxes, and we are being hosed.

It does appear that way. But, speaking for myself, I am not one of the “special people”. I am just a regular guy with a regular job that I get up and go to each day. So, I guess it’s only fair that I pull the weight for those that don’t work and the “special people” who don’t pay their taxes.

Too bad Peter Sellers isn’t around any longer...

He’d be perfect to play Obama in the movie...

Barone drank the KoolAid...read the last paragraph.

But nontheless, he did include a tidbit I'd been looking for documentation for:

And, with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, he has been making decision after decision in the financial crisis.

Question is, did Geitner have a hand in the misspent TARP funds that they're laying at the feet of the Bush Administration?

i am convinced, only conservatives pay their taxes, and we are being hosed.

Broad brush painting a pretty truthful picture. I’m betting that non-payers, whether tax cheats or by law, outnumber the payers, and that is the crux of the bidding war for votes, and the foundation for the class warfare that now exists in the country.

The tax cheats, and the non-payers, will legislate the payers into oblivion as a lobby group or political party. This ought not to be, and by law it must be illegal for anyone who earns income to not pay taxes on that income. I would say 10 percent, and no more, but payment is important to stop the class warfare.

No one should be allowed to escape the heavy hand of government where the collection of taxes is concerned. Not the poor, not the rich, not the in between. By golly if the very sustenance on the table is taxed, then tell me why anyone should escape their responsibility to the great protector in Washington DC.

As our latest Bush Basher is so eager to tell the American people, there are not two sets of rules, one for the rich and powerful, and the other for the pawns and sheep. Want to bet on that?

1) Would you please be so kind as to add me to your ping list, John?

2) Excellent article, and thanks for mapping it out: Obama’s net is confusing, all the different players and their dodgy backgrounds. It was helpful to see them all in one place, described for what they are.

Cheers
*DieHard*

I love the smell of validation in the morning.

Validation is a two way street, and your FR home page tells me where you stand. We stand together.

You don’t have to pay taxes on your maid if she’s an illegal immigrant.

With this administration I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I laugh because of the absurdity of it all, I cry because of the damage they are doing to my beloved country.

I guess at least as we go down the tubes, we will be entertained. Thanks JH2

Barone has been suspect for a while.Maybe he’s thinking about giving Kathleen Parker a run for her money.
