Majority of Americans Would Give Up Breathing to Help the Rich
New Poll: 80% of Americans would give up breathing if it helped rich get
richer by William K Wolfrum A stunning new poll by William K. Wolfrum & Associates shows that nearly 80 percent of all Americans would stop breathing right now if a major corporation gave that order. SOUTH CAROLINA - A stunning new poll by William K. Wolfrum & Associates shows that nearly 80 percent of all Americans would stop breathing right now if a major corporation gave that order. The poll - which was based on looking into how Americans will gladly vote against their own self interests - made several other discoveries, including: # 78 percent of Americans would rather die a terrible death that leaves their families bankrupt than have the elite pay higher taxes for government health care. # 67 percent of Americans would saw off their left foot to have a Wal-Mart built next door to them; # 62 percent of Americans would shoot themselves in the head if it meant the richest Americans would receive a tax break, and; # 59 percent of Americans would rather see tax money given to banks, or used to kill Middle Easterners than have the same money used on health care in the U.S. Noted sociologist Tim Johnson of Tupelo, Miss., said that the poll is in line with how many Americans feel. "In the U.S., it's all about striving to be rich," said Johnson. "And if you fail, you're out. So better let the successful amongst us thrive than worry about the vast majority of Americans, who are abject failures at getting rich." Republicans were quick to jump on the poll numbers. "Americans are selfless people. So selfless, they'll always vote against their own interests," said Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. "At the GOP, we're aware of that and confident it will again lead us to power. The people have spoken, and they've told us they don't want to be heard anymore. We can do that." More than 1,000 people took the poll, though many refused to accept the free pencils given out to fill out the poll, claiming it was a "socialist act" and that they should be "punished for not having their own pencils." -- From KOS :) Whatever moral rules you have proposed, abide by them as they were laws, and as if you would be guilty of impiety by violating any of them, *unless* you are a conservative Republican office holder or minister. If that is your position in life, then anything goes. |

The best cure for the sort of excessive greed that has just about ruined this country? Serious increases in the state and federal income tax rates for those above a certain level, no matter the source of that income, with the possible exception of long-term capital gains on funds invested in this country in U.S. companies. I'd go along with the "Obama" $250,000 starting point for an increase in rates, and additional rate increases at $500,000 and each $100,000 above that. Salary, bonuses, deferred income, whatever, above a certain amount, it gets taxes as ordinary income. |

Geithner and Summers simply didn't rule out the possibility. But the voters will make it clear that higher income taxes on the middle class are the kiss of death for a second term. Soaking the rich, the really rich, though...that's going to happen. |
