When you use a shape to display data of people who pay all their taxes it should be a donut with a rich hidden center labeled LOOPHOLES AND HAVENS.

How many of today’s hedge funds in offshore tax havens were born from the “quick money” of 1970’s and 80’s corporate raid operators?

Were not the 1980’s GOLDEN PARACHUTES and increased debt levels on a company’s balance sheet, we are now told to despise, created by corporations as defensive measures to prevent hostile takeovers and ruthless asset stripping?

So much public sympathy is given to trust fund babies and retired millionaires that have seen their money “made off” for various reasons. It is highly likely that these seekers of public sympathy profited from the corporate raids in the 1970’s and 1980’s. These same people crying foul sought big profits and cheered corporate raiders that caused large economic disruption and created unemployment as factories were sold off and closed.

It has been decades now that retired Americans have been forced to live on Social Security and Medicare after the corporations were raided and pension funds stripped by ruthless private equity and venture capitalists.

Save our sympathy and concerns for the millions of hard working Americans that were and are now unemployed by the actions of those looking for “quick money”.

If you think a picture of Elvis dead in a casket is worth a million dollars you need to pay alot more in taxes.

If you think people that enter this country illegally deserve free movies you need to pay alot more in taxes.

Hey I heard with this new Obama Administration that me and Ella ain’t gonna be getting as many dining invitations. Do you think it’s how our kids the twins act? Everybody knows where Sam and Ella go the twins usually come along. Lucy Bows and Cary Payper can be a bit to handle but they haven’t kept us from society so far.

Being a tax cheat is mandatory in Obamas administration.

And being a marital cheat while in the Oval Office will get you deified.

As long as you’re a democrat, that is.

Yes Admiral tell the General we need more boots on the ground in America. But we will need twice as many boots as you think. That is because one boot of every pair needs to be off the ground most of the time impacting hard the home grown butts that have brought America to its knees puking into the toilet bowl called America’s future. Don’t swallow the Beano. Gas is the first sign of trouble coming. Think! Is Russia doing US a favor giving passage into Afganistan? Put a boot up the a*s of any General that cannot remember what brought down Russia’s economy. Don’t put a boot in the mouth of those that pass gas rather than swallow your bitter pills.

Besides Phelps contract with them how often is Subway robbed by people to buy illegal drugs?

Does anyone think Phelps pot may have came from the same organization that killed those little children along the side of the Florida Turnpike?

Do you think it was the money you used to buy Corn Flakes or a Subway sandwich that paid for Phelps drugs?
