Here’s the real reason behind the Bush tax cuts!!!

Need I say more, 2% of the people vs. 98% of the people, makes sense to me!!

It’s rather obvious who they are thinking about.

It’s not you or me or any working class person or any unemployed person, after they have shipped our jobs overseas,

after they encouraged the companies to move overseas while giving them tax cuts.

after trying to reduce Social Security when it’s not adding to the deficit like these tax cuts do!





The Limbaugh Tax Cut:
$2,689,135 per year.






Dear

We hear a lot of talk about the “Bush Tax Cuts.” And why not? According to Newsweek, George W. Bush “earns” $4.2 million from paid speeches, public appearances and miscellaneous punditry each year. Hence the Bush Tax Cuts cut Bush’s own taxes by an amazing $187,552 each year. And that’s not even counting how much the Bush tax cuts engorge Bush’s investment income.

So Bush cut his own taxes. No wonder Bush is in favor of extending those tax cuts.

He’s not the only one. Here is how much the Bush tax cuts benefit – each year – some other folks you may have heard of:

Rush Limbaugh - $2,689,135.
Glenn Beck - $1,512,352
Sean Hannity - $1,006,352
Bill O’Reilly - $914,352
Sarah Palin - $638,352
Newt Gingrich - $247,352

See it all laid out, at my speech right here.

Maybe we should call them the “Rush Limbaugh Tax Cuts.” Or the “Glenn Beck Tax Cuts.” Because the reason why these right-wing blowhards support tax cuts for the rich is that they support tax cuts for themselves.

Which will cost our country almost $100 billion a year. Enough to give $30,000-a-year jobs to 3 million Americans. To cut unemployment by two percent, immediately. And to get our economy moving again.

I’m not going to vote for tax cuts for the rich. I’m going to vote for jobs.

Courage,

Rep. Alan Grayson

That's right...all democrats are poor.

When you get a paycheck from a poor person, let me know.......

[ScottR@KTP]

Typical bs...they are making the assumption all rich dems are not in favor of lower taxes...lmao.

[axleman]

Ditto.. Not many aspire to be poor. I don't blame people for wanting to keep as much of THEIR money as possible.

[ktpelec]

It is an overwhelming majority of Repubs vs. Dems on this issue, basically the rich vs. the rest of America.

Under the BUSH TAX cut I get to keep more of my money.The Rich also get to keep more of there money so what is the problem?

[JoePieper]

Historically when the rich have lower tax rates they actually pay more taxes. Lower tax rates = more tax revenue. Look it up if you don't believe me. This was the subject of my first post on my new blog. Check it out myamerica2011.blogspot.com/
