New data says the top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 40.42 percent of total federal income taxes in 2007 according to a story printed in the NYT on Thursday. This group now pays more federal income tax than the bottom 95 percent of earners. It also reports that fewer and fewer taxpayers are paying an increasing share of taxes than ever before.

Things are going to get ugly when the entitlement class outnumbers taxpayers! It is already happening. People are sensing they can just vote themselves more benefits and “rights” at the expense of the rich — we see populist politicians becoming demagogs and filing right into line, appeasing the masses.

The big problem with this approach… it is going to be difficult to get the rich to pay a bigger percentage of the taxes when the top 10% of earners already pay over 70%. I think the administration is realizing this now — as evidenced by comments earlier today by both Treasury Secretary Geithner and National Economic Council President Larry Summers – both declining to rule out the necessity for middle-class tax increases on Sunday morning interviews.

Saw this television Ad yesterday during the golf tournament. Incredible and unbelievable. I thought it was a parody at first. Full of lies — kind of reminds me of the Kerry/Edwards claim that Chris Reeve would be walking today if Kerry was elected.

Right out of the gate, Brocko Bama gives political correctness the kibosh!

He makes fun of Nancy Reagan and then phones her to apologize. The he compares himself to my dog!

‘Our preference is to get a shelter dog, but most shelter dogs are mutts like me.’

My dog is still waiting by the phone for a call from Chicago. I’ll let you know what hapens.

If Sarah Palin reads the Wall Street Journal, she probably saw this article.

Someone needs to answer (and disprove) Brocko Bama’s claim that 95% of Omericans will receive a tac cut if he is elected president. Using the data published in the Journal’s article, the numbers don’t add-up. Nearly 50% of people pay no income taxes, so how can they recieve a cut?

Barack Obama says he’s going to cut taxes for those at the bottom, but that’s also going to be a challenge because Americans with an income below the median paid a record low 2.9% of all income taxes, while the top 50% paid 97.1%. Perhaps he thinks half the country should pay all the taxes to support the other half.

On Sunday, Sept. 28, ACORN National President Maude Hurd (aka Chief Nut) released the following statement after Congressional leaders announced a $700 bailout plan for Wall Street:

“Members of Congress worked tirelessly over the weekend to rid Wall Street of its toxic assets, which are responsible for the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. Unfortunately, families who fell victim to Wall’s Street’s toxic lending practices and now risk losing their homes were largely left out.

ACORN members are extremely disappointed that the bailout package does little to assist these homeowners, such as providing them relief through the bankruptcy courts. Although weak, there is language in the bailout package authorizing Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson to facilitate more loan modifications. ACORN members plan to hold Secretary Paulson accountable and ensure he uses this authority to make streamlined loan modifications a priority for struggling American families.”

Talk about an entitlement mentality — this organization beats all.

If ACORN disagrees with the final version, it can’t be all bad!

It’s funny how their standards are applied differently to rebublicans and democrats.

According Bill O’Reily…

Obama believes that the federal government should be in control of income distribution and, to some extent, should regulate the free marketplace.

That is a classic liberal position and the candidate promotes it well. And…

…the senator also believes that poor Americans have a basic right to free health care and monetary supplements from the government with no strings attached. The American substance abuser, for example, would derive the same benefits as would a hard-working, laid-off worker. Again, classic liberalism. No judgments made regarding entitlements.

Superimposing these beliefs, this reader is wondering whether, one day, Obama and Biden will come to collect one of my good kidneys, arguing it’s for the common good, and giving it to some junky in need of a kidney transplant.
