Let's see how stupid this post is. 66% of business pays little or no tax according to the US government.
The richest 1% of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 90% The poorest 40% own just 0.2% of total wealth. Any idiot can see, and granted Mark is not just any ordinary idiot, that the problem within the economy is that the rich have hoarded everything for themselves while blaming the most impovershed layers for the economic crisis, while they live in obscene wealth. This commonly know as blaming the victim. The only defense of such actions can come from the most ignorant sections of conservative politics, who defend the "American Nightmare", built on death and barbarism On Oct 5, 5:21 am, mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 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.
