Why not have everyone pay 10% of their income regardless of how much they make? Wouldn't that be the fairest?
Instead we have the top 5% paying over half of all taxes and half of the population pays zero. Does that sound "fair" to anyone?
The truth means nothing to MSNBC. What an absolute waste of space, skin and air.
The American people want the truth not more spin you stupid windbag!!!
EXACTLY!!!
Don't answer their questions. Counter their logic!!!
Uh-buh-dee, Uh-buh-dee, that's all Al…
Sharpton is the biggest (well next to J.Jackson ) disgrace to the black people and the Democrapic party that there has ever been.
His lack of knowledge and discipline of voice is epic. Why he is paid at all is a mystery.
He is certainly at home at MSLSD
Off topic alert:
Today,for the first time,a comment of mine was deleted WHEN I clicked submit.Maybe it was a coding issue,I NEVER attack personally,stick to factual data and history.Invoke absurdity to illustrate absurdity.I see far more vitiolic postings from other members here.Maybe it was just a coding issue for the html5 transition. Maybe the "key" word list needs tweaking.
Back to topic:
Cap gains are ALREADY taxed!You know,like your inheriteance,tax refunds,etc.
I have been waiting for someone, anyone to ask Sharpton a question about taxes.
Taxes, are one can of worms Ol' Alphonse doesn't want to open up.
I'm sure MSNBC pays their secretaries the same as Rev. AL. What a greasy little creep.
What a buffoon!
The REAL question here is –
Why is Sharpton paying zero percent taxes? That's lower than a welfare dreg.
and owning the government 1. 7 million dollars.
Al Sharpton = "Dumber Than a Box of Rocks".
So interest income should be taxed at the same rate as earned income? Leftists are too stupid to know that if that were ever to be initiated it would bankrupt this country faster than Obama already is.
How much does this moron owe in back taxes?
Where is Tawana Brawley these days?
Remember who burned down Freddy's Fashion Mart.
Al is a disgrace to his race – - – the human race. He is living proof that Darwin got it backwards.
30%…… NOT A FACT! If she is paying 30% she needs to FIRE the H&R Block hack she has doing her taxes!
Has anyone seen this woman? Good God….Warren Buffett….. what a toad! Why is it that Democrats parade themselves around as victims when they are not even living in the same dimension as the rest of us? You would think that Warren Buffett's Secretary make $4.50 and hour and pays half of that in taxes. I want to know why he hasn't set her up with her own trust fund…… or has he? What other benefits does she not pay any taxes for?
A more fare tax system would be great! I am all for it. I think that those that don't feel they are paying enough should send a check to the US treasury right now or shut up. Bla-bla-bla go the democrats elite… Oh I'm am so uber rich it's just not fare…. wah…. Is anyone on the face of the planet this stupid…
The dude being interviewed almost burst into laughter several times. People watch this? On purpose? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NMzepSePD4
Same here, happened today.
One small wish I do have is that if these politicians are willing to come onto these shows that they would leave the talking points behind. The Democrats do it all the time and it bothers me to no end.
Rep. Huelskamp was actually quite awkward at taking Big Al's question and turning it into an attack on Obama. He doesn't have to walk into the trap. He can rephrase the question or debate the premise or simply talk about the BIG difference between the tax rate and the EFFECTIVE tax rates people actually pay.
If conservatives are going to actually win in the marketplace of ideas we have got to start bringing a gun to a knife fight. This was a perfect opportunity to impress upon the very small audience of liberals who watch MSNBC the idea that millionaires do pay a lot more in taxes than secretaries. Instead, those viewers just see a "crazy" politician from flyover country trying to attack Obama. They aren't listening.
We have got to start talking about true principles and fight the socialist agenda toe to toe. I think that is why Gingrich is so popular right now. He doesn't rely on talking points and he is willing to actually discuss the issues and doesn't return to standard attack lines.
Is it FAIR? Is it FAIR?
Why are you a "Reverand", Al? How many taxes did you avoid with that phony title? Is that fair?
What is more outrageous is that millionaires and billionaires eat the babies of poor people at their fancy-schmancy barbeques.
I'm sick of it!
It's time the rich stopped barbequing babies!
What if there was no tax? Would it be unfair for some to earn more than others? Why aren't Democrats calling for a flat tax on everything? That would be fair – we'd all pay the same rate.
Sharpton is a fat ignorant poor excuse for a black man! Everybody is laughing at you . Your making EVERY BLACK person look and feel stupid you FOOL!!!!!
You "REV" are a sale out to your race!!
That statement from the race baiting Sharpton, who should be in jail for instigating the riots after Tawana Bradley, is exactly how Liberals/Marxists/Communists/Democrats see the tax code. They see it as a way to stick it to people. What the tax code is, and you liberals hold on to your seats, is to pay for essential government services. Not take from one to give to another. Or to not pay like a lot of Democrats do. They use it as a cudgel to bludgeon people with that they don't like. Nothing more. Sharpton can stick that bullhorn up his lazy butt.
Golly. I had no idea Al is this STOOOPID.
SHARPTON IS SOOOOOOO STUPID WHO WOULD HIRE THIS IDIOT?????????????????????
It's not a mystery. He extorts money from companies. He is a member of the diversity board at Walmart. The reason he is a member and gets paid a handsome fee to visit the company semi-annually and act like a pompous ass is because he will sue Walmart for discrimination on behalf of some Walmart-employed black lady in Nebraska who didn't ask for his help.
But Sharpton knows the cameras will be there at the press conference and so does Walmart. So they pay up and Sharpton pats them on the head and says "Good boy."
Who says racism is dead? It is alive and doing quite well.
Bwoberry pie Al.
Nothing but Bwoberry pie……….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPklYj7gYLo
Somehow, I wonder where da nice ladies in da hood in Bwooklyn got da bwoberries from?
Doesn't matter what the rate is, it'll never be enough for them.
Wish the GOP could have supplied someone a little better on their feet. A 6 yr old could beat Rev. Al in a debate but this guy barely held his own.
We shouldn't be taxed at all…Your fair share is whatever the government says it is, and it is legalized theft…What's fair is for the government to get out of your life and leave you alone…If you need them, you will give them a call…
Fast forward to modern times. In a weird way, he has become a slave to taxes, as we all have. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24545747/ns/us_news-c...
Democrats are two things — elites who try to control minorities and keep them agitated so they won't notice they ARE the one per cent who is using gov't to get rich by bilking Americans (Pelosi, Sharpton, John Kerry) and tax dodging law breakers (Geithner).
This guy is right. Challenge them daily about their income …. and how much taxes THEY pay. As usual, Democrats are trying to deflect.
I've got another question for that sack of garbage……Who ordained you? And where is your church?
Screw the Buffett.
The same ones that gave Keith Olbermann a job. Shows they don't have much of a learning curve.
I may or may not agree. At what age are they no longer 'babies'?
Oh yeah…what is good for the goose is good for the gander…and/or slave owners of the inner city plantation slaves!
Thank you sir…for standing up and speaking out…bravo!
Hey Al…Bubba…have you heard about this?
STATES PRESSING THE BIRTH ISSUE FOR 2012 AND BEYOND; GOD BLESS THEM!

Al, you are an idiot. There is a difference between Capital Gains and Ordinary Income. Try learning some facts.
Whatever his income may be its more than his services are worth
mooooooooorooooooon
Ok. One more time; the secretary only pays a higher rate in taxes because she is being tax on traditional income. The so called millionaire is only paying 15% because the "income" is dividend income and not the traditional income. Traditional income and dividend income is taxed differently. If the secretary has any dividend income then she too would pay only 15% on the dividend income. On the other hand if the millionaire has traditional income, i.e. a paycheck from an employer he/she would pay the usual tax rate on that because it is traditional income. Why in the world people either can't or refuse to understand this very simply rule is beyond me. And Sharpton knows this because I am certain he receives not only traditional income but also dividend income and those are taxed at different rates. Sharpton just like Obama are intentional misleading the people of this nation in order to stir hatred against wealthy people…………………..
55% is the number of those who don't pay squat. Does it surprise you is they want the Rich to pay more so they won't have to pay any.
Can somebody please point me to the section of the Constitution on "Fairness"?
Ol Twanda Brawley Al be getting whatever he be skimming from da fake church he be running!

THE ANTI LIBERAL ZONE
Rev. Al's non-profit National Action network is being audited by the IRS, so the only reason for him to stand up for nObama is to act as the official presidential shill.
Resist we much.
Al is fairly stupid like all democrats and continues to be envious of others
IMPEACH obozzo pmsnbc is a waste of electrons
Don't take it personally. BB employs a scanning service that looks for certain words, context of words and other peculiarities which are automatically screened, flagged and/or deleted. Because the program’s algorithms do not have “the human touch”, it will methodically delete any suspect message. Take the word g-o-r-i-l-l-a…..try using it without dashes; and you will have it “moderated” or deleted instantly. Apparently it is one of those “code words” that Sheila Jackson Lee has warned us all about.
Now that is fair. I am sick of those living here paying zero for their own upkeep.
Soetoro blew-off his subpoena Eliglbility hearing today, in Georgia, to get on that state's ballot for reelction.
Three articles on this, on WorldnetDaily, now… looks like he's toast. (Daddy was a dual citizen..that's it right there)
He at-least, won't be on the ballot in Georgia, because of his fraudulant SSN cards/numbers.
(those are felonies..each)

Al Sharpton: America's First Illiterate News Anchor! http://www.thedailyrash.com/al-sharpton-americas-...
That really is the answer, except the left will squeal that the rich will get to keep even more of their money which isn't fair for the poor. They are not going to be happy until everyone has the same exact same amount of money, except for the elite dems, of course.
Under these progressive morons the definition of fair would change daily to suit their desires.
Only the Left in general, or MSNBC in particular, would give this buffoon a job. What a moronic blowhard.
I give Huelskamp a lot of credit for not telling Sharpton to go F-off.
Oh no, I foresee another convenient fire in Ol' Rev Al's record keeping store-room!
He was ordained by a school that advertises on match pack covers. There is a handy fee range which I think runs from $19.95 to $39.95 depending on the extent of the test you chose to take. So the church is determined by the fee paid. I think his is the Mt. Nebo Tabernacle of the Supreme and Most Sanctified on High and Yellow Cab Company.
LOL
The question is misleading and pointless but for the constant media regurgitation of the point. We can only hope that the barrage of insulting punditry by the Democrats is not given much weight, but the lack of a consistent counterpoint to such drivel makes the Republicans look weak.
For those of you who think Sharpton and his ilk are stupid, they have been underestimated for years and still possess the will and power to make people do their bidding. We may disagree with most of what they say, but their message has kept them healthy for many years.
LOL
Schumer is SO incredibly irritating..
Sharpton is a clown. He doesn't bother me in the least. He's always entertaining and always wrong.
Income tax…. unethical and unfair. The only ethical tax is a consumption tax.
Weird Al is a joke.
That was PAINFUL TO WATCH!!!
Al and the Congressman were both clueless on the facts.
Why does Romney pay only 14%?
Because his income is derived from investments. Investments are NOT taxed at the same rate as payroll taxes. If you tax investments at the same rate as payroll taxes, it will stifle people investing in this country. People will take their money elsewhere. That is COMMON SENSE. Why couldn't the Congressman articulate that? Does he not know it?
The problem is that we have elected officials on both sides of the isle that don't even understand basic ecomomics!!
There is 70k pages in the tax code and this idiot wants to talk about "fair".
Wait.. I think I tuned out for a minute. Was it made clear that Romney's taxes are on capital gains? This is money made on money that was already taxed.. and it's money that is made RISKING your already taxed income to try to make more.
I can't watch it again… was that made clear?
Poor ole Al, champion of the down and out poor person. Seems ole Al has a chucnk of change to the tune of $5,000,000.00 and to think he does not know about tax rates. Hmmm…

Socialism simply cannot ensure that we can all be rich, but it damn sure can guarantee that we all be poor. Sadly, there are many in our country who would rather have us all equally poor, than to have economic diversity.
This is how you deal with Sharpton:
http://youtu.be/YcOgOWLCWxw
I honestly doubt that Sharpton's people would let a capable debater actually be on the show. Al is bad enough as it is.
The exchange between these two was like watching Sean Penn kiss James Franco in Milk.
Albert? When are you gonna pay the taxes you owe the government? When we throw the brother out?
I can't imaging a d.u.m.b.e.r. human that Rev Al. How much does he have to pay MSMBC to stay on TV?
Debating with Sharpton is like debating a six year old. Is it fair! Is it fair!! He sounds like a child along with the rest of his fellow bed wetting progressives.
Is it fair that Reverend Al Sharpton kills baby kittens? I don't care if its true or not, is it fair?
Good for you, Representative.
DON'T GRANT THEM THEIR ASSUMPTIONS, DON'T GRANT THEM THEIR TALKING POINTS.
Socialists are the greediest people on Earth.
Buffett's secretary makes way, way more than the average secretary.
So Revrum Al wants to raise the taxes on old retired people.
Interesting.
Like Sharpton could understand the difference tax rate and actual taxes paid…lol.
I don't understand why this congressman doesn't make the point that Romney's initial tax on his income was probably the same as most people (of course, I mean those who actually pay taxes). The 14% he paid afterwards was on his dividends. So truth be told, he's actually been taxed TWICE!
That's right – If I go to a buffet with 10 people and the bill is $100, my "fair share" is $10, right?
I wonder how the Rev will feel in 2 years when he starts getting investment returns after investing the overspill of his his windfall salary and having that taxed at 15% so that in 10 years most of his income is from investments and his overall rate gets very close to 15%. I'm sure his tune will change then.
Rev Al certainly leaves a very bad impression. Horrible delivery, specious irrelevant points. He might make a decent salary pontificating on msnbc, but my understanding is that he is near bankruptcy.
Owing a LOT of taxes, unpaid, BTW. How ironic!!!
Oh man, bad image there!
capt…he got himself in trouble recently…
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/rev_...
all this man has to say this is not income that is earned. it was originally taxed at 35 % or whatever the rate is. he then iunvests money into stocks when he cashes it out the capital gains tax rate is 15% . the income is taxed at one rate capital gains is taxed at another. its 2 different types of money end of story
rev al how much do you and your national action network owe in taxes. pay your debt before you criticize anyone else for not paying emoough iun taxes.
Why in the world do these guys keep signing up to be "guests" on these pathetic shows. They never get to make their point. Its like they enjoy being hung up like a piñata and repeatedly hit with a stick until the juicy sound bites drop out. Guess what… no more guests = no more show.
Isn't this network ashamed of this hire yet?
We need to cut out the middleman. As we have seen, the Occupiers know where all the rich people live, so all the poor people can just show up at all the rich people's house and collect their fair share. It will save a lot of paperwork.
If the government would cut out all the bullsh&t spending, everyone's tax rate would be 5%. This is only an issue because they can't control themselves. The food stamp president just like to spend other peoples money.
Investments? I think you are giving the Reverend way too much credit. I just assumed he "invests" his windfalls on cocaine, chocolate donuts, and klassy kurl.
Is it "fair" that Al Sharpton got the job he has now, when hundreds of more-deserving, real journalists were overlooked?
I liked how he stuttered when he was asked how much his income was…..and he didn't want to answer that question….LOL
Is it fair that buffett's sexretary makes $100-500,000/year when other secretaries make $25-60,000? IS IT FAIR? IS IT FAIR? What say you, reverund snake?
Exactly…..
Try using the word……m_e_d_s……it won't go……but the word " medication " has no problem…..
Sometimes you need to be creative about how to spell certain words……
Better stay away from any parks with trees Al. Squirrels are hungry for nuts this time of year.
The first 3 guys up there are some of the biggest traitors besides obamao in th ecountry. BTW, how al baby said the congressmans name sure sounded racist?
GREAT JOB AND GREAT INTERVIEW REP. HUELSKAMP ……. REV AL WAS AT A TOTAL LOSS …….. I DON'T THINK HOWEVER , THAT HE'LL INVITE YOU BACK FOR AWHILE ……. LIKE TO SEE MORE OF YOU OUT THERE !!
I am unfamiliar with the Congresman. But my impression is that he is not really TEA (IMHO). I say this becasue the corrrect answer to being fair is "NO…. We need a FLAT TAX in which everyone pays the same rate. THATS FAIR!"
AAhahahahaaa!!
"He owes the IRS $2.6 million in income tax, and nearly $900,000 in state tax."
Oh poor Al.
Anybody remember Uncle Al on "Laugh-In"? "Uncle Al the kiddie's pal….Hi Uncle Al!" It's Deja Vu all over again.
So frustrating to watch this video. Huelskamp was prepared but forgot to Teach that Romney's income is taxed at 15% because that is Capital Gains. Money you make by Risking your money to finance businesses.
I pay that 15% Capital Gains Tax every year on a modest money market from a marriage settlement. But, I don't get that money. Any dividends are rolled over. And, I stand a chance of Never seeing that money. When the market went down, the money it earned disappeared. But, I had to pay 15% on anything it earns every year. And, I am in Very Low tax bracket [read: very low income]. That money is my Safety Money. Not everyone who pays Capital Gains is Rich. Most aren't.
Comparing some "secretary" [who is obviously making more money than 99% of the people to be in a 28-35% tax bracket] with money earned in W2 salary to Capital Gains earnings is comparing apples to oranges.
We go on the defensive and forget to Teach.
Well Said.
I thought he said "Boobwear Pah".

The question for the left is never what anyone makes, the only question that is important is what conservatives (eg, the "non-believers" in big government) pay in taxes (we all know democrats don't pay their taxes – hell, most of them don't have income and just feed at the government trough – just the way Ubama designed it to be).
