Tea Partiers refuse to end tax breaks for the wealthy? Let 'em all eat dog food
NY Daily News ^ | August 4th 2011 | Michael Daly

Nobody could be more servile to the interests of the wealthy than the Tea Party Republicans who insist they are championing everyday Americans.

Vice President Biden was wrong to call them terrorists. They are servants, toadies of the most reckless and grasping of the rich.

Even the socially responsible rich think the Tea Party stance is nuts. Mayor Bloomberg has noted that there was simply "no way" to bring the deficit into line without raising revenue.

In their blind resistance to simple reality, the nuttier Republicans caused such a mess in Washington that investors the world over felt added cause to doubt the soundness of the American economy. The eventual result could hurt even the rich.

Meanwhile, the Tea Partiers continue pushing for cuts in programs benefiting the less fortunate while refusing to end tax breaks for the wealthy. If the likes of the Tea Party had held sway during Marie Antoinette's time, there would have been no French Revolution or guillotine.

85% of the Bush tax cuts went to the middle class.

He’s using Mayor Mike Bloomberg as an example of someone who is “socially responsible?” WTH?

These hate mongers never consider the fact that the federal governmment already sucks up far too much of our income and sends too much of it on their friends and supporters.

Just because one person has more money than another doesn’t justify granting the government authority to confiscate it or extort it under threat of penalty or punishment.

The federal government is already an out of control monster destroying everything it touches.

Stop feeding it!

I might favor ending tax breaks for the wealthy when the Congress makes every person pay the same rate of tax on every dollar. Fifty-percent are getting a free ride. So a little break for those who actually carry the load is quite in order.

Okay, stupid, take a piece of paper and make two columns: Rich and Poor. Under each, list all of their benefits to society. For example, under Rich, you might put: creates jobs, invests, supports the Arts, philanthropy in general, innovation, invention, capital formation, etc. Under the Poor column, you might put...ahhh...uhhhmm...I got nothin’ for this column. Then, on top of that, I'd put in the Rich column the fact that the top 10% foot 66% of the federal income tax receipts. For the poor, about the only thing I can come up with is they use oxygen. The Libs needs to ask themselves: What have the poor done for me lately? Contrast that with the gobs of money you blood suckers took in campaign contributions from the rich to get elected in the first place. Parasites...everyone one of you libs.

Dear Liberal Moron,

It just doesn’t bother us that someone else has $1 more than we have. Or $100,000,000,000 more for that matter.

But, then again, “Thou shall not covet, thou shall not steal” actually mean something to us.

Isn’t Mort Zuckerman in charge of the News?

If he is, how can the fishwrapper publish rot like that?

He goes on talk shows yacking about the “anti-business climate caused by the Obama administration.”

These libs act like 90% of the people in this country are “members” of the tea party. They can’t grasp that it’s not a party. It’s a movement!

And the truth is if their HADN’T been a tea party there would not have been a French revolution.

refusing to end tax breaks for the wealthy.

Right from the liberal/progressive handbook.
"How to demagogue your opponent and push the communist agenda"

Secondly - I wish these a-holes would cite SPECIFIC examples of these "tax breaks" , I want to see if I qualify.

Taxing the rich is working pretty well in NY state isn’t it? They were glad to see Rush leave (and take his income with him to no tax Florida). Now they are just flush with money and looking to tax the rich even more.

NY has lost the most people in each of the past two censuses. They just want to share their wisdom with the rest of the US (and watch jobs not just leave the NY but also the US).

20% of the country earning $120,000.00 or more pay 70% 0f the taxes while 47% pay no taxes. I can see how we can broaden the base and increase the revenue on a “share the pain” basis.

Goodness knows, we would not have wanted to miss that guillotine!

CW2 Ping, for obvious reasons.
