Talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh is warning Americans about the 30 percent of the people in the country who pay no federal income taxes, because they will forever be in favor of higher taxes on everyone else.
Limbaugh quoted extensively on his program today from an op-ed by Brad O'Leary, author of "The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values." "The Audacity of Deceit", released by WND Books, has hit the nation's largest bookstores in a head-to-head clash with Obama's release of his campaign book, "Change We Can Believe In." Eric M. Jackson, president of WND books, says it will "shed new light on a public figure who's enjoyed a meteoric rise with little scrutiny." "The greatest find, the greatest discovery in the political world is a new voting bloc, and his book and his research here is targeted at proving that Obama's big voting bloc is the 30 percent-plus of Americans who pay no income taxes," Limbaugh said. "These people get polled a lot, they are played to constantly, and they are all for ever higher taxes on everybody else 'cause it means more for them, in their own version of 'trickle down.'" Citing the article's title, "Forgotten Foot Soldiers In War On Success," Limbaugh said, "That's exactly what the Democrats are waging." Limbaugh quoted from O'Leary: "When writing my latest book, 'The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on American Values,' I discovered a relatively unknown constituency: the 30 percent of American voters who do not pay federal income taxes. These Americans are exempt from paying income taxes either because their income level is below the threshold that would require them to pay, or their total deductions leave them with no income-tax liability." O'Leary continued, "So I set out to determine exactly who these people are and what makes them tick. In conjunction with Zogby America, I conducted a series of carefully orchestrated polls. First, I found that 60 percent of likely voters among non-taxpaying Americans favor Obama for president, whereas only 31 percent favor John McCain. In addition, a majority of the 30 percent of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes agree with Obama's $65 billion plan to institute taxpayer-funded, universal health coverage. On the other side, a majority of the 70 percent of Americans who pay federal income taxes (i.e., the folks who would have to foot the bill for this boondoggle) are opposed to Obama's health care plan." O'Leary's work found that 70 percent of Americans shoulder the majority of the federal budgetary burden for all Americans now, so Obama's claim for a plan to cut taxes for 95 percent of Americans is a logical impossibility. "Is he going to give more money to nontaxpayers?" O'Leary questioned. "You can't give a tax cut to 95 percent of Americans if only 70 percent of them pay federal income taxes in the first place. Then again, math may not be Obama's strong suit." http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=76971 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
