Of the Rich, By
the Rich, For the Rich
Tax rate paid by top 400 earners has plummeted 35% since 1992,
with cuts worth an average of $31 million apiece
Amazing It's Not 99%
47% of all Americans, including 28% of Republicans, want government to
"redistribute wealth by heavy taxes on the rich"
Flat Taxed
U.S. tax system already nearly flat, with top 1% paying total tax rate
barely higher than middle class
Smart Rich People
"For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens,
we ask that you increase taxes on incomes over $1,000,000."

FLASH WAYBACK:
Founding Father Speaks Out on Need for High Tax Rates on Rich
"... the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery
to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for
subdividing property ... exempt all from taxation below a certain
point, and tax the higher portions of property in geometrical
progression as they rise ..." – Thomas Jefferson, author of
Declaration of Independence, to James Madison,
father of U.S. Constitution, 1785
02/01/2011 The Citizens of Egypt and many countries throughout the world, are revolting to get their freedoms back, and to work and eat and be paid a far wage. What is happening in these countries is going to happen here in the United States of America. We have too many people loosing their homes, living in the streets and going hungry. The only way to prevent a revolution in the US is for ALL bureaucrats at ALL levels of government, to take a large cut in pay, eliminate all of their perks, cut back on staff, and last but not least, try being honest for a change! And we need to: 1. Get out of Iraq 2. Get out of Afghanistan 3. Reduce aid to the rest of the world. 4. Close all Governor's Mansions and turn them into money making Museums. 5. Governors can serve the public better by having their offices in one of our many empty malls. 6. Tax all Churches. They make money, lots of money. We must introduce a bill in Congress to increase the tax percentage on the upper two percent rich to FIFTY PERCENT, with NO LOOPHOLES! Then we must make it clear to all of Congress that anyone of them who do not vote for the bill will be voted out of office. We The Middle Class are still the largest percentage of people in The United States. So we have the collective power to stop being slaves to the GREEDY RICH and to CON Gress! " I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war" -- Abraham Lincoln (Nov. 21, 1864 letter to Col. William F. Elkins) |
02/25/2011 Wake up Sheeple! Wisconson in 1886: The Haymarket Riot took place in Chicago on May 4, 1886. Seven policemen and several protesters were killed, and the event led to the execution of four radicals. In the Haymarket Riot of May 4, 1886, the police clashed violently with militant anarchists and labor movement protesters in Chicago. Seven policemen and several protesters were killed, leading to murder convictions for seven radicals, four of whom were executed. The strong public and state reaction against the Haymarket protesters has been called the first Red Scare in U.S. history, and their trial has been widely critized or improper procedure and prosecutorial excess. The Haymarket Riot grew out of labor unrest that had been brewing since the 1870s. Unhappy with difficult working conditions and feeling the pressure of economic depression, workers had engaged in periodic strikes. Strong, sometimes violent police opposition to these strikes led to greater labor militancy. Radicals became increasingly convinced that the struggle between labor and capital had come to a head and that the time for revolution was near. Many anarchists publicly advocated the use of explosives to bring down the capitalist system. In 1886, a broad coalition of labor organizations joined to campaign for an eight-hour workday. On May 1, 1886, this coalition initiated a general strike throughout the United States, the effects of which were particularly strong in Chicago. On May 3, fighting broke out at the McCormick Reaper Works in Chicago, and at least two workers were killed by the police. Outraged at these killings, anarchists, members of the labor movement, and other radicals met for a rally in Chicago's Haymarket Square on May 4. The rally was peaceable until the police attempted to disperse the crowd. Then a bomb was thrown into the police ranks, killing seven officers and wounding sixty more. The police fired in response, killing and wounding like numbers of participants. In an ensuing crackdown against the labor movement, the police arrested hundreds of anarchists and other radicals. Two leading anarchist newspapers were put out of business, and their staffs were imprisoned. Finally, eight noted Chicago radicals and anarchists, including nationally known radical leaders August Spies and Albert Parsons, were indicted for the murder of one of the policemen at Haymarket Square. Public opinion turned swiftly against the protesters, in part because seven of the eight defendants in the case were foreign-born. More |

10/27/2011 Every time I see some idiot call SS an entitlement I could scream!!! Social Security is NOT an entitlement! I have paid into to it since I was 18. I'm 69 and what I receive is not anywhere near what I have paid in. And we receive no interest on our SS account! And they tax my payments !!! Dave Kaspersin I disagree with the word "entitlements". It's got a negative connotation - some people think it means money that they are GIVING away to "old" people. They don't seem to want to acknowledge that since I started "officially" working at age 15 I have not only paid into the social security system at every position (and I have not been unemployed for the last 45 years- many years with two jobs at the same time), but that my salary was affected (lowered) by the fees and taxes that my employers had to dish out to the social security system as well. So I've been paying into the system for 45 years. I'll probably start collecting at age 70 to get the max. Maybe I'll live 20 years - if the rage over the word "entitlement" doesn't give me a heart attack first. So in another ten years when I start collecting, I will have contributed for 55 years. 55 paying into /20 receiving (and I'm taxed on that, by the way) - you do the math. Math - which brings me to the school system. I live in New York State and own a home. I have owned a home in NYS for a combination of thirty-one years. For those thirty-one years I have paid SCHOOL TAXES. I have no children. My husband, who has owned a home in NYS and paid school taxes for 48 years - actually had one child in the school system in NYS. For seven years only. So his 48 years, and my 8 years before we shared a household combine to total 56 years of school taxes on residential property - at this time . IN ADDITION, we pay school taxes on the business property that we own. For the last 36 years, again, with one child who participated in the school system for 7 years, and paying residential property school taxes as well, we've contributed to school taxes on that separate property. AND business owners can not vote on the school taxes issues or referendums. More math. I'll make it easy: 56 years of residential school taxes, 36 years of business property school taxes. One kid in the school system for seven years. So, I think I'm "entitled" to get back the school taxes we've been paying - especially since apparently the youth have not received an education worth discussing - they, for some reason, think they are entitled to at least 92 years of my paying their school taxes, while I am not "entitled" to get back the social security payments that I will have made for 55 years. Wait a minute - my mother should get her school taxes back too. She paid school taxes on her home for twenty-seven years after her youngest child left the NYS school system. She could use the money - her social security "increase" is going to get chopped for additional medicare costs. Jackie Kaspersin |

This cartoon applies to everyone on this planet
who is not in the upper 2 percent rich !
Concept
Its time for all of our bureaucrats to cut back. Cut the perks, including the mansions, cars, etc. for everyone in all cities, towns, etc. We The Middle Class do not want to pay for these extravagances any longer! Feb, 2009 Just received a notice that the Town of Greece plans on raising our Taxes again. Time for a PAY BACK to the citizens of Greece from Kodak. And / Or maybe its time to cut the towns management salaries by 60 percent. They are all way overpaid as it is. |
