There are a certain number of McPalin supporters who are voting for them because they see Palin as the next incarnation of Bush. They don’t expect McCain to live long, and then the neocons can move back into the White House. Those boneheads can stop reading now.
Ok, so what does that leave? Bigots.. you can leave too. So can those who have so bought into the Republican “brand name,” that you couldn’t get them to vote Democrat if Ronald Reagan came back from the dead and ran as a Democrat.
Now, what do we have left? A pretty healthy number of people who have been swayed by this awful idea that Obama is going to expect the uber-wealthy to pay more taxes. Not that I think that is a bad idea. Over the past 8 years, the country has gone into its worst debt situation ever, the economy is worse than it has been since the Great Depression, yet the top of the income pyramid has become richer than ever.
Doesn’t that ever make you just wonder why the hell they shouldn’t have to pay more to get us out of this mess? They were the primary beneficiaries of the past 8 years’ failed policies. Why shouldn’t they pay more now?
Ok, lets say that this doesn’t persuade you. I have a plan:
Per the Tax Policy Center, here is how Obama’s tax plan breaks down for individuals:
-
$0-$18,891 = $567 tax cut
$18,982-$37,595 = $892 tax cut
$37,596-$66,354 = $1,118 tax cut
$66,355-$111,645 = $1,264 tax cut
$111,646-$160,972 = $2,135 tax cut
$160,973-$226,918 = $2,796 tax cut
$226,919-$603,402 = $121 tax increase
$603,403-$2.87 million = $93,709 tax increase
$2.87 million-plus = $542,882 tax increase
If you are a McPalin supporter in the three brackets that will have a tax increase, please send me your name and address.
If you are a McPalin supporter in the six brackets that will get a tax cut, do the same.
If Obama wins, I will then match up the lower-class McPalin supporters with the upper class McPalin supporters. Next April, when the lower-class ones get their tax refund, I will then send it along to the poor multi-millionaires who had a tax increase. That way, those of you who make less than $226,919 can relieve yourselves of the burden of that tax cut that Obama will give you. The poor multi millionaires can get checks to off-set the tax increase that Obama will slap them with. So, the wealth redistribution will be reversed — but, we won’t have to look down the barrel of the social conservative nightmare that a McPalin presidency will bring us!
Ok, sign up now.
Sound like a good compromise?
