I have my representation and associates in Washington. It is more important for me to reach and educate individuals.

As far as making a difference, Schulz and Co. will not even be a ripple on the public scene a month from now. It isn't even making a ripple now. Their issues are dead as a doornail and wide of the mark.

Until you reach the 70% of the voting public that think they pay little or no federal taxes and looking for more freebees, you are going nowhere.

 

Walter Williams, World Net Daily, 10-25-2000

According to the most recent U.S. Treasury Department figures, in 1997 the top 1 percent of income-earners (those with income of $250,000 and higher) paid 33 percent of all federal income taxes. The top 5 percent of income-earners ($108,000 and over) paid 52 percent, and the top 50 percent ($36,000 and over) paid 96 percent of income taxes. Guess what the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid?

If you're among those who pay little or no federal income taxes, what do you care about tax cuts? Moreover, if you think tax cuts pose a threat to government handout programs, you might be openly hostile and support Al Gore's silly "risky scheme" talk. So many Americans paying little or no federal taxes makes for a natural spending constituency. It's like me in the restaurant: What do I care about extravagance if you're footing the bill?


Remember: 70% of the public continues to clamor for more from government looking for the top 40% of taxpayers to cover the tab.

Congress ain't listening because you have no political clout and you're credibility is zilch as a consequence of the massive amounts of outright misinformation your convicted felon leaders (schiff, Kotmair et. al.) have been scamming the public with for years.

You are literally living in a fantasy world.

You don't think anyone who once claimed/thought they were being paid by Clinton could ever admit the money they receive was confiscated from someone elses labor un-constitutional do you?
