T Paws Tax Plan

Posted By Dave Snope
What a poorly presented, one-sided, biased article. Class warfare disguised as journalism. Par for the course for CNN. Leftists.

Some people are only interested in punishing the rich, not matter what the tax rates are. And they consider the top 20% rich. That's where all the government cubicle workers sit, by the way.

OF COURSE the lowest 20% can "only" have their taxes cut by $23. That's all it takes to get them down to zero. The lowest 48% pays about 0% of the federal tax bill as it stands. If you're going to cut taxes, you can only cut from the guys who are paying them. That top 20% pays 85% of the federal taxes according to the CBO. And since the top 1% are paying almost 40% of the federal taxes, you have to cut there.

How Today's Conservatism Lost Touch with Reality

Posted By Dave Snope
...going to get sold for a penny like Newsweek was?

I clearly remember the day when I was in my late-teens reading Time magazine in the living room. I was carefully reading a news article to fully understand it. And then it dawned on me: "This isn't journalism, this is persuasive writing. They taught us about this in high school english class". Then I read it every week for a while and saw the same thing ... then I didn't read it at all. Many years later I learned that this was the blatant leftist writing found in most of the MSM publications, and that their "reality" is centered in Manhattan cocktail parties, elitist Georgetown wine bars, and far-left Ivy League hallways where Marxism is an accepted 'discipline'. So sure, Republicans have lost touch with "reality".

To those still reading Time, I suggest trying a little structured analytical reading and see how their writing process works. It's a fun exercise, I did it in high school.

How Today's Conservatism Lost Touch with Reality

... What else do you expect from reading an article by extreme-leftist, anti-capitalist, pan-arabic, pro-palestinian, anti-american Fareed Zacharia, author of the "The Post American World"? I mean, I know he's one of Obama's favorite foreign policy advisors, but why would you look for constructive advice on how to make America better from a guy who says that radical islam is a fact of life that we have to learn to live with?

Do you draw a conclusion about atheists from this?

Cryosat Mission

That looks like a helpful instrument.

I've developed electronics that are currently being used for laser-altimeter based ice measurements. It's provided good data for various ice surveys. But it's always left me wondering: Does ice height == thickness? The microwave radar should provide more answers.

The Failure of agore

I always thought he'd be more credible if he wasn't getting "enormously rich" in the process. If he is charging $2000/plate for 150 people to listen to him talk for an hour, is he doing it to spread the message or is he doing it for the $300K? For a flat fee of $175K, he makes a 30-minute speach, or $5800/minute.

Well, the other reason that he's not credible is that he's never debated anyone on global warming. Doesn't he believe in his message?

Well, another reason that he's not credible is that his message consists of really old debunked science, presented in a purely emotional form with fake photoshopped graphics.

Well, another reason... I'll stop here, it's a beautiful day outside.

Hot Coffee?

I'd like to see some tort reform. When does all this 'right wing' influence go into effect?

Oh wait, which party gets the lion's share of the lawyer's campaign contributions?

Independence Day

The intellectual elites at Harvard have that all figured out. Be careful about taking your children to fireworks shows. Better to keep them at home watching PBS, the boys with their dolls and girls with their firetrucks.

9.2%?

In his weekly address, the Liar In Chief is STILL blaming it on Bush. The Audacity!

“The good news is, we agree on some of the big things,” he said. “We agree that after a decade of racking up deficits and debt, we finally need to get our fiscal house in order.”

Obama - The Last Thing To Do Is Raise Taxes

Posted By Dave Snope
But wait, there's more dissonance from today's press conference:

Obama at 11:22 a.m. ET – "Nobody has talked about increasing taxes now or next yr. We have talked about closing loopholes in 2013."

11:31 a.m. ET - “It is hard to persuade people to do hard stuff that includes trimming benefits and increasing revenues” Obama said. “Reason we have a problem now is people keep avoiding hard things.”

Let me get this straight: He plans to increase revenues by 1.5 trillion dollars, but is not raising taxes? This manchild has got to go.

He's increased spending by a trillion dollars per year, and has the gall to say we have a revenue problem. The emperor has no clothes.
