I guess one could say that lower income workers tend to be freeloaders at the federal level dominated by progressive taxation and higher income people tend to be freeloaders at the local level dominated by regressive taxation.

Not true.

State income taxes like in California are also progressive.

But it still would be incorrect even if tax rates were flat.

Higher income people pay more in property taxes, income taxes and sales taxes than lower income workers.

High income earners subsidize lower income earners at all levels of government not just the federal level.

Bob Turner is better than half the Republicans running for president on immigration. And according to the last poll, he tied the Hispanic vote.

I’m so excited about this election but just to let you know, Ed Koch has crossed party lines many, many times. Guiliani, himself, is a Republican and usually endorses Republicans (with the horrible exception of endorsing Mario Cuomo for Governor!!) So I’m not surprised at either of these people supporting Turner. The real surprise, of course, are the voters. Amazing.

How many times have we watched Dems litigate and recount their way to fraudulent victory?
Lessee.. Washington State, Al Franken for senate BS multi-recount, they tried it in Florida in 2000, they do it in Ohio, they tried it with Klop in Wisconsin.
Odds are pretty good they will try it again.

I don’t think so. Certainly the media is not giving them the benefit of the doubt.

I need to correct myself on one thing: yes, the Dems will try and steal the election but they will not be successful. And the mass media does not seem too interested in pursuing their lies, which helps a lot.

I voted in New York for about 25 years. I really don’t remember too much voter fraud. It might have existed but remember, everyone voted for the Democrats so there was no need, lol! I always voted for the most conservative Democrat in the primary (Ed Koch, Ed Koch, Ed Koch) and then went for the Republican in the general.

I recall the disabled levers on the voting machines in 2000, and the provisional paper ballots being tossed out.

Side note, are you reading some of the tweets and hashtag responses that Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat is getting on his new “inform the gestapo” twitter feed?

Oh, well, the levers never worked in NYC and I can remember stepping on absentee ballots scattered over the floor of the polling place. Disgraceful, yes, but corruption? The overwhelmed yentas who guarded the place had given up trying to control things around 9:30am, lol! What can I say? New York is a mess.

I’m afraid I don’t tweet - can you tell me what’s going on?

Ah yes, Der Fuhrer has decided that he’s going to have his own twitter hashtag.
“#attackwatch” where you can inform on your neighbors.
SOooooo, people, being fed up with the whole thing because flag@whitehouse.gov worked so well, have made a mockery of it over the past 24 or so hours after it was unveiled.

There’s several threads about it, so far I’m watching the one I linked.
Pretty amusing stuff.

High income earners subsidize lower income earners at all levels of government not just the federal level.

And lower income earners by their disproportionate levels of military service defend the more well to do with their blood and sweat so I guess it all evens out. Maybe we can raise income tax rates on lower income workers so they'll pay their fair share while we institute a military draft so the more affluent serve their fair share to defend our land.

I'm not talking about welfare freeloaders, I'm talking about lower income honest hard workers. Putting a negative light on their income tax payments is a losing strategy and if that's the best line the right can produce, we'll surely lose and we'll deserve to lose.

Thanks for the link. I did see several posts yesterday where people were saying they were reporting themselves, lol.

He’s such a fool. As if he’s going to scare conservative Americans with such tactics.

My only concern is that he is going to sic the IRS on people. If he’s not doing it already.

Love your post, Colonel. Let’s not put down good Americans who work hard for a living but don’t earn a great deal of money.

Sheesh, how Leona Helmsley can some people get?

Well, the Clintons sicced the IRS on people, Skippy just might do that and more.

Welcome.
It’s pretty fairly amusing to see, and people are going “Hey, what’s with this new goose stepping theme?”
Maybe they’ll close it up like they did flag@whitehouse when people made a mockery of that.

The tweets are hilariously mean-spirited! I’m sure it’s all freepers - it reads like them, it sounds like them.

Can you explain the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers? I feel so dumb - I’m so out of it!

The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers is a take off on the old Will Smith show “The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire.”
[I probably spelled it wron, but who cares anymore?]

It’s everybody dog piling on.
Twitter users, newscasters, pundits, bloggers, mom and pop, and everyone in between with a smattering of FReepers in the mix.

Thanks, nice to hear from others who are wary of the dangers of going down the Leona Helmsley/Thurston Howell path.
