Glen Johnson is my next-door neighbor and a very good reporter, but this is sloppy. It looks like I am going to have to give him some lessons in calculating tax cuts and properly describing left-wing, union-funded organizations such as CTJ. Keep posting your correct information and I will pass it along to him.

Is Kerry just a misbegotten socialist, or a real, dyed-in-the-red commie?

[Wright is right!]

"Currently, everyone who works is taxed 6.2 percent of their first $84,900 in earnings to support the Social Security retirement trust fund. They are also taxed 1.45 percent of everything they earn to support the Medicare health-care fund. Both payments are matched by employers."

The part in BOLD is the longest-running lie in the history of America. Your employer does NOT pay "his share" of your SS. YOU pay it. Because your stated "salary" is not how much you really make.

You "make" what it costs the employer to have you on the payroll. You may THINK you make $40,000 a year, but you REALLY make about $50,000. Because that's how much it costs an employer to "pay you $40,000." Doubt me? Go to your boss and ask to see "your line in the personnel budget." That line will be a dollar figure, and that dollar figure is how much you are really making.

Now. Out of that dollar figure, YOU are paying 100% of every last deduction taken out of your paycheck. You pay 100% of your SS/Mediscare, 100% of your health care, 100% of your pension/IRA/401K, 100% of your income taxes.

If you don't believe me, open up a business and hire some help. You will quickly learn how much you are REALLY paying your employees. And, if you're an employee, that's how much you're REALLY making.

"By 2010 the wealthiest 1 percent of taxpayers will receive 52 percent of the administration tax cuts, according to Citizens for Tax Justice, a watchdog group based in Washington, D.C."

Two notes here:

1. In 2000, the top 1% of taxpayers paid 37.4% of all income taxes.

2. The CTJ's claim that 52% of the 2001-2010 tax cuts will go to the top 1% is false. Here's why: The top 1% of taxpayers will comprise a different group from one year to the next, so that the benefits will accrue to many individuals who in one year might only be in the top 10% or the top 25%, or anywhere else on the scale, depending on a given year's income.

This looks like just a disguised plan to slow down the economy by Ketchup Boy Kerry and his small friends.

I love it when Democrats run on tax-and-spend.
