John Kerry’s Tax Hypocrisy – In typical liberal fashion, JFK is always calling for higher taxes on the evil rich. His state of Massachusetts actually has two ways of computing its income tax; at 5.3% or at a higher 5.85% for those who want to help out the state government some more. Guess which rate John Kerry paid. Higher taxes are only appropriate for everyone else, and when given a chance to pay more, in true selfishness, he does what 99.97% of his fellow MA taxpayers do, and pays the lowest rate available.

As those of us who believe in lower taxes have always said to liberals, they are free to send in every penny they have to support their beloved Big Government programs. It’s a very different story when they push to have the government use its awesome power to forcefully take money from other people who don’t believe in Big Government.

“Bling Bling” Not Deductible, Says IRS

Ten Ways Income Taxes Violate Civil Liberties – As I’ve long said, the fastest way a President could restore some faith in our tax system would be to issue an executive order removing the IRS’s power to ignore all of the constitutional protections that we have under the normal criminal system of law and force them to treat citizens with the same level of respect as mass murderers have, which is much more than taxpayers receive. It’s always been a travesty that killers such as O J Simpson are afforded more rights and protections than someone who makes a tax mistake.

This is not the way our rulers see things. According to their logic, we are blessed by every dollar of income that they deem to allow us to keep and we should be eternally grateful for their benevolence.

Millions of Americans Don’t Pay Federal Taxes – Another look at the people who drop off the tax rolls at the bottom end of the income spectrum.

Why do average Americans seem to favor policies that reward the wealthy? – The tone of this article is the same disgusting “hate the rich” class envy that permeates much of our society and most of the media. They want us to all believe that it’s inherently wrong for the people who actually pay the most taxes to receive the largest amount of savings from tax cuts. Of course, this shouldn’t be a surprise from a communistic group such as this, that feels it is wrong for anyone to have any more than anyone else.
