The copy I received of this credited a Professor of Business Law as the author. When I complemented him for his wisdom via e-mail, he said: "I am unaware of the true author's identity, which is unfortunate, since the piece has generated considerable interest. Unfortunately, one of my students sent it along and erroneously contributed the authorship to me."

Sean Hannity has read this several times and said that he was posting it on his site.

Thanks! As it happens... I was looking for that. It came up in a conversation yesterday.

I marked this up and posted it on my site yesterday. Wish I could find out who the author is. It's excellent.

This is what is going on in California (especially) right now. The wealthy that live there are really paying the freight big time. No wonder a lot of them are establishing permanent residence in Colorado instead.

"...most taxing authorities anywhere cannot seem to grasp this rather straightforward logic."
Oh, they understand it alright. But they also know that being fair does not get you re-elected...

IF YOU WANT THIS MAN AND MEN LIKE HIM TO REMAIN IN CONTROL OF YOUR ECONOMIC AND PERSONAL DESTINY, CONTINUE TO TOLERATE THE CURRENT MARXIST INCOME TAX SYSTEM.

Glad to hear that Hannity read this over the air.
Sure would be terrific if Rush would read this on-air as well!
To: zeugma
It is excellent and I can't imagine how any Democrat could possibly refute the logic of it.
Can you imagine someone reading it on one of the Sunday shows in response to the claim that the "Tax Cuts" just favor the rich?
To: Balata
How might we get greater exposure of this article?
It sure decimates the claim that "tax cuts only favor the rich".
To: Willing To Listen
More exposure bump!

Actually, I heard this on Cavuto several months ago. It was posted on the Fox news website for some time.
Most excellent read, IMO.

Thank you!

The piece doesn't answer an important question: how did the ten agree to this arrangement in the first place? I'll tell you how - they voted, and the first six cheerfully agreed that the tenth man will pay 59% (later reduced to 52%.) Democracy at work, the best system considering the alternatives, to borrow a cliched phrase. Ebryboddy heppy!
To: jcparks
You have to admit that it is most timely today especially after the President's message and the standard "it only favors the rich" response. I thank you for the bump.
We need to equip everyone with this response.

then the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being PAID to eat their meal.In "tax language," we call that the Child Tax Credit. Many wage earners currently make money with the Child Tax Credit. Their total income tax is less than zero; at tax time, their refunds are more than what was withheld from their paychecks.
If the Child Tax Credit is increased to $1000/child, even more wage earners will, instead of being taxpayers, become tax recipients.
Will my family benefit from the Child Tax Credit increase? You bet. Is it proper? A flat tax would be more proper.
Today, 96% of income taxes are shouldered by the top 50% of wage earners. Tomorrow? Figure the top 45%, or 40%. Does this sound like the conservative thing to do?
