Reason.tv: Is Clinton Right That the Rich Don’t Pay Their ‘Fair Share’ of Taxes?

Reason.tv: It depends on what you consider fair. Using 2006 data, The New York Times found that the richest 20 percent of households were paying 26 percent of their income to the federal government in the form of income, payroll, corporate, and excise taxes. The average for all familes? 21 percent.

The Clinton’s certainly don’t. Like most rich pervert progressives, they set up fake charities and libraries to hide and shelter their money so it’s not taxable.

Rush mentioned this last week. It’s just more of their hypocritical double standards, except progressive perverts have no standards, so to them it’s OK.

What is meant here is that straight white Christian conservative males who have made it on their own should be paying more and more taxes because someone has to make up for the taxes the rich pervert progressives do not pay.

Remember that the taxes are mostly on income, and the pervert progressives make sure that none of them money is “income” but rather some other category of funding that is not taxable.

Liberalism works until they run out of other people’s money. Obviously they are running low. In truth the USA is broke – we are running huge negative deficits, all because liberals do not know the value of money. They steal it, they have never worked an honest day in their lives. The have no talent for anything but theft. And staining blue dresses.

How much does the Clinton Foundation (aka The Slick Willie Slush Fund) pay in Taxes each year ???

That would be an interesting story to see !!!

What a bunch of crap. The rich pay far more than their fair share. Democrats just can’t get enough of it.

This is the biggest piece of crap that only the urban poor and other victims of the democratic public education system would believe it.

The top 1% pay 40% of all taxes. The 5% earners pay 70% of all taxes. The top 50% pay 97.5% of all taxes. The bottom 47% pay NOTHING! When the bottom half don’t pay anything, how does it get more fair than that?

Top earners that need to pay more and shut their mouths: Oprah $400 million year / Soros $500 million per year / Obama $5.5 million per year / Clintons $3 million per year / Warren Buffet $1 Billion per year / Hollywood actors A list – $20 million per movie

Reason tv is skewing the question. Households? If they want to start again, with the real share, as Joker face above mentions, that will be nice.

But the only thing that comes out of a clintons’ mouth is crap, mr. & mrs. crap eating pigs feed their b.s. to the less than thinking kind.

txmike   May 31st, 2010 - 10:20 pm

democrap propaganda and lies. Across the board all Americans who are paying taxes are PAYING TOO MUCH and not only are they paying too much but representatives and government officials like billary waste the tax dollars that the taxpayer has entrusted to them. They have completely SCREWED the American taxpayer and these fools want to waste even more money. If obama was any kind of leaader he would reverse course and encourage reducing the debt, but instead he has only been increasing the debt.

I’m all for redistributing the Clinton’s ill gotten gains from the last 10 years. Most of it was pay offs for setting up this meltdown anyway. Rubinomics

Bubba   June 1st, 2010 - 12:11 am

Just as bad as FatGore chiding us about global warming, but then having mansions that are worse for the environment than some mid-size towns. Hypocrisy, they name is Liberal.

BHO-R-POS-POTUS   June 1st, 2010 - 12:28 am

Bill Clinton was a sorry butt man and a sorry butt President. Hillary Clinton has no self respect or dignity as evidenced when she traded them for the continued tag-along with her philandering husband. Neither is genuine, neither is honest, and neither is decent. Get them off my internet.

I’m sure President Bubba would love your name. BHO has me stumped except the
POTUS.
Bubba ends his oral vomit by calling liberals hypocrites. While I could cite
a litany of right-wing wacko/religious right/neocon acts of hypocrisy, I will use one recent example that even you mental midgets might recall. Remember last year’s Stimulus. I don’t recall even 1 affirmative vote from the other side of aisle. 93 of those negative votes returned to their district, attending ribbon cutting ceremonies, handing to police departments, etc. They are good at lyinh. Remember WMD’s
HAVE I MY POINT CRYSTAL??????????

Are you that intelligence deficient that all that you do is pass the drumbeat right talking points as your original thought? Oh in addition, try to be more original in your name-calling.

“The top 1% pay 40% of all taxes. The 5% earners pay 70% of all taxes. The top 50% pay 97.5% of all taxes. The bottom 47% pay NOTHING! When the bottom half don’t pay anything, how does it get more fair than that?”

There’s a reason for this: the distribution of wealth in the U.S. is increasingly lopsided. As of 2001, the bottom 40% of Americans owned less than 1% of the country’s wealth, whereas the top 1% owned roughly 38% of all wealth. Even if the rates are unfair, they are not as unfair as suggested.

Mick Russom   June 1st, 2010 - 2:24 am

I already pay MORE than a fair share. I’ve raised probably 4-5 ghetto rat families already.

Define rich – rich is all those hard working middle class folks with kids and major responsibilities that the democrats tax the living hell out of while claiming to love the middle class.

RICHER+ & POORER-   June 1st, 2010 - 2:24 am

THE RICH GET RICHER, THE POOR GET POORER

I agree that the rich should not pay more tax.

Only fair solution : ROLL BACK BUSH TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!!!

Coming news alert : The close ties between the oil companies and the comedy team of Bush/Cheney, Halliburton, etc.

MICK RUSSOM :

Ghetto rat families ??? Ghetto rat families ??? How sad but not suprising. I’m sure they would not retaliate with insults of their own. Who’s next – dogs and cats?
One who resorts to insults, doesn’t have a strong case to stand on it’s merits.
My advice to you is GROW UP AND GET A LIFE!! IF THERE’S STILL TIME!!

I don’t recall even 1 job. 93 of those negative votes returned to their district,realizin that the KENYAN is a commie.. Remember WMD’s because the Kenyan does, thats why he still has two wars going on and adding troops.The Kenyan took 77,000 from BP, Bailed out GOLDMAN SAKS, Backs illegal aliens, chastise’s Americans for following the LAW, ETC,etc,etc………
HAVE I MY POINT CRYSTAL??????????

Are you that intelligence deficient that all that you do is pass the drumbeat left wackos talking points as your original thought? Oh in addition, try to be more original in your name-calling,
Teabaggers is reserved for us cornholers, like olberman and anderson cooper, who like the kenyans history
shall remain in the closet.

RICHER+ & POORER-   June 1st, 2010 - 7:06 am

MICK RUSSOM :

Coming news alert : The close ties between the oil companies and the comedy team of OILBAMA, like the 77,000 he took from BP,or how BP showed up with workers to clean the beach the day the KENYAN arrived and left right after the KENYAN did.
One who resorts to insults, like OILBAMA, you remember him saying how us midwesterners cling to our guns and religion? Or maybe the time he made fun of teapartyer’s by calling them “teabagger’s” doesn’t have a strong case to stand on it’s merits.
My advice to Obama is GET OUT BEFORE YOUR IMPEACHED!! IF THERE’S STILL TIME!!

NecromancerYHVH   June 1st, 2010 - 7:40 am

There should never be a rich socialist or communist, as soon as they speak of sych things we should take all their money away for the better good. These rich elites think their money is somehow good, while everyone else is evil with money sickens me. You want socialism give your money up first!!!

claspur   June 1st, 2010 - 8:56 am

Better question: Was Clinton right to sell missle guidence technology to the Chinese for campaign cash?

Uh… My answer is No to that, and He should be tried in court for that act of treason, convicted, and marched-out the backdoor of the court room-being stood-up against the wall and shot.

claspur   June 1st, 2010 - 9:03 am

Search: China/Clinton “Loral” scads of reports on those treasonous acts.

X- man   June 1st, 2010 - 9:09 am

Liberals are so generous with other people’s money. They usually give very little out of their own pocket. The Problem with Socialism is you always run out of other peoples money to spend. We have reached that point. Note; Taxes are on income , not equity. You are just killing income earners and choking the economy from any type of recovery. In return , this socialistic Government creates no productivity, real Goods or wealth. Hence a downward spiral situation … that is the USA today…

claspur   June 1st, 2010 - 9:10 am

Still can’t choke-down the cost per plate last week at The Getty Mansion for that Babs Boxer fundraiser..$17,600 bucks?
(of course(no pun intended) it had president Soetoro as the main speaker)

How in the HeII do those hypocrites go to bed at night, while spouting their bildge about The Poverty Stricken on a daily basis? !!!

Yeah Right   June 1st, 2010 - 10:43 am

I don’t get it with the Tea Bagger,I hate Obama crowd.

When all the Bush tax cuts are finally phased in, a staggering 52.5 percent of the benefits will go to the richest 5 percent of taxpayers.
It’s just fine with the Baggers for the redistribution of wealth to go from the rest of the 95 percent to the 5 percent.A class that they don’t even belong to.

During his first month in office, George W. Bush appointed Dick Cheney to head a task force charged with developing the country’s energy policy. The group, which conducted its meetings in secret, relied on the recommendations of Big Oil behemoths including BP . It would be the first of many moves to come during the Bush administration that would position oil and gas companies well ahead of other energy interests with billions of dollars in subsidies and tax cuts—payback for an industry with strong ties to the administration and plenty of money to contribute to congressional and presidential campaigns.

From the start, Bush embraced a governing philosophy of deregulation. That trickled down to federal oversight agencies, which in turn eased off on banks and mortgage brokers.The rest is history,leading to a financial meltdown that almost caused another Great Depression.

Not one word during all of this from the Tea Bagger crowd.Then they wonder why some people might think their opposition to Obama has more to do with his pigmentation than his politics.

Our greedy Government wants more and more of your money whether you are rich or middle class or the poor. Hillary Clinton is only pointing out more taxes for the “rich” in this case because there is more of a propensity that people would agree with her message i.e. “those BAD filthy rich people” not paying their fair share. The truth of the matter is the rich are taxed in excess already and are essentially footing the bill for Washington’s lavish and exorbitant lifestyle and decadently excessive spending spree(s) that is driving our country toward bankruptcy and financial ruin.

While America wallows in 10% unemployment Congress just gave themselves a handsome raise of $4,700 in the House and $5,300 in the Senate. Yet, they were adamant about NOT giving our Seniors and Disabled citizens in America any C.O.L.A. (cost of living increase) for 2010 & 2011. How convenient of them right? The reality is, that both the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton DON’T CARE about average Americans, they only care ABOUT THEMSELVES and how they can suck the American people’s pocketbooks dry and what better way to do that than to RAISE TAXES!! Hillary is emphasizing raising taxes on the rich but you better believe she also wants more and more money from EVERYBODY AND HIS UNCLE as well!

The reason Hillary Clinton and the rest of the Obama administration want more and more of your money is because they are recklessly spending what we have left (which ain’t much by the way), and consequently, driving the United States of America toward bankruptcy and insolvency at breakneck speed. And the only rational way (in their minds) to keep that from happening is NOT cutting back on their lavish spending habits but rather it is to keep “taxing” American’s to DEATH to foot their decadent lifestyle and exorbitant bill(s)… such as Obamacare, earmarks (pork barrel spending), Congress’s new raise(s), Obama’s frequent trips overseas dissing America, Bank and Financial Institution and Car Company etc. bailouts, the non-Stimulus Package, et al.

November 2, 2010 is right around the corner folks. The American people can fight back and the best way for us to do that is at the voting booths across America on election day. In 2010 American citizens will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House! Let’s take America back from the Democratzi controlled Congress who are hell-bent on destroying this country shall we? If we STAND UNITED in our purpose and intent – WE CAN DO IT! For our children and our grandchildren and our great grandchildren and future generations! For our honor and our dignity and our safety and our security and our prosperity!! For the betterment of the whole wide World! For ourselves and our own futures!! YES WE CAN!! LET FREEDOM RING!! “OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE!” – [b]NOT[/b] of the Democratzi!!

H2K   June 1st, 2010 - 3:33 pm

Yeah Right, you said I don’t get it with the Tea Bagger,I hate Obama crowd.
I’ll lay it out.
If 5% pay 52.5% of the taxes, and you provide an across-the-board tax cut, then you would expect that the 52.5% benefit would go to 5% of the tax-paying public.
Why would you expect anything less from an across-the-board tax cut?
Oh yeah, remember those days of 4.5% unemployment? Ahhhh!
