          • OBAMA Tax System ACCURATELY explained

            OBAMA Tax System ACCURATELY explained

            Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...

            The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
            The fifth would pay $1.
            The sixth would pay $3.
            The seventh would pay $7..
            The eighth would pay $12.
            The ninth would pay $18.
            The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

            So, that's what they decided to do.

            The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

            The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?

            They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
            The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
            The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
            The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
            The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
            The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

            Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

            "I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10! That's not fair. He should be made to pay his fair share!""Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me! The rich always get a break. They are not paying their fair share!""That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks! They should pay their fair share!""Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all from this tax reduction. This new tax system exploits the poor! The rich should pay their fair share instead of settling the bill on the backs of the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

            The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

            And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

              Haha if only the 10th guy really paid. In real life, the ten men sit down for drinks and they cant afford beer because the rich guy doesn't pay enough, even though beer cost nothing to him, and costs a lot for all the other guys. What an asshole. I always buy rounds and I'm not the 10th guy, that guy is a fucking prick. Pay for the beer, you probably own the fucking bar, and picked the beer.

                          • HURT: Brutal week for Obama, the worst of his presidency


                            ANALYSIS/OPINION:

                            The past seven brutal days will go down as one of the worst weeks in history for a sitting president. It certainly has been, without any doubt, the worst week yet for President Obama.

                            Somehow, Mr. Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, see his credentials for being elected so severely undermined that it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place — let alone be re-elected later this year.

                            Consider:

                            • Last Friday, Mr. Obama wandered into the killing of Trayvon Martin. Aided by his ignorance of the situation, knee-jerk prejudices and tendency toward racial profiling, Mr. Obama played a heavy hand in elevating a tragic situation in which a teenager was killed into a full-blown hot race fight.

                            Americans, he admonished, need to do some “soul-searching.” And then, utterly inexplicably, he veered off into this bizarre tangent about how he and the poor dead kid look so much alike they could be father and son. It was election-year race-pandering gone horribly wrong.

                            • By the start of this week, Mr. Obama had fled town and was racing to the other side of the planet just as the Supreme Court was taking up the potentially-embarrassing matter of Obamacare. While in South Korea he was caught on a hidden mic negotiating with the president of our longest-standing rival on how to sell America and her allies down the river once he gets past the next election.

                            • Meanwhile, back at home, the Supreme Court took up the single most important achievement of Mr. Obama’s presidency and, boy, was it embarrassing. The great constitutional law professor, it turns out, may not quite be the wizard he told us he was.

                            By most accounts, Mr. Obama and his stuttering lawyers were all but laughed out of the courthouse. They were even stumbling over softball questions lobbed by Mr. Obama’s own hand-picked justices.

                            • Mr. Obama closed his week pulling off a nearly unimaginable feat: He managed to totally and completely unify the nastily-fighting Democrats and Republicans in Congress. Late Wednesday night, they unanimously voted — 414 to zip — to reject the budget Mr. Obama had presented, leaving him not even a thin lily’s blade to hide behind.

                            So, in one week, Mr. Obama got caught whispering promises to our enemy, incited a race war, raised serious questions about his understanding of the Constitution, and then got smacked down over his proposed budget that was so wildly reckless that even Democrats in Congress could not support it.

                            It was as if you lumped Hurricane Katrina and the Abu Ghraib abuses into one week for George W. Bush. And added on top of that the time he oddly groped German Chancellor Angela Merkel and got caught cursing on a hot mic.

                            Even then, it wouldn’t be as bad as Mr. Obama’s week. You would probably also have to toss in the time Mr. Bush’s father threw up into the lap of Japan’s prime minister. Only then might we be approaching how bad a week it was for Mr. Obama.

                            Not that you will see any trace of embarrassment in the face of Mr. Obama. He has mastered the high political art of shamelessness, wearing it smugly and cockily. Kind of like a hoodie.

                              • Diane Sawyer reporting on U.S. bridge projects going to the Chinese.... NOT Americans. The bridges are right here in the U.S. and yet Obama has approved for Chinese contractors to come In and do the work. What about jobs for Americans??? Watch this video. It doesn't take long to view. This one should be tough for the supporters of the current regime to swallow....AND it comes from ABC NEWS...

                                U.S.A. Bridges and Roads Being Built by Chinese Firms Shocking to say the least! The lead-in with Obama promising jobs in the U.S. by improving our infrastructure is so typical of all his promises! Our tax dollars are at work - for CHINA!!!

                                I pray all the unemployed see this and cast their votes accordingly
