Ramirez has mad cartooning skills, but his efforts almost always come across as campaign ads for the GOP or reinforcements of misinformation handed down from Faux News.
“Too bad Romney’s houses are closed to public viewing. After all that’s where all his tax avoided money is so we should be allowed to dirty his rug too.”
You really are desperate for someone to throw rocks at aren’t you? For you reference, avoiding paying tax is completely legal and expected by the IRS. It means that you are complying with the law. You imply that he is evading taxes, which is illegally sheltering income from taxation.
If you don’t like the law, work to change it, otherwise you are just part of the problem, not the solution…
“And if you live in the USA and make 34,000 then you my friend are in the 1% of the world.”You’re using a false equivalency. If you live in a third world country, you can live on about $100 US a month (or less, in some instances). This is why we export our labor there. Try living on $.50 an hour here. If inflation and prices were standardized to US wages worldwide, $34k would still be just above poverty for a married couple and poverty for a family of four.
They are going to open up the White House for the Easter egg hunt so let’s see how fast the trolls change their tune and decry wasting federal money on an Easter egg hunt.(hint: private donations will be used)
I’m glad you posted that link. I read a similar story on aol news but can’t find it right now.I went the whole weekend so far with only watching one (recorded) political show.
I can remember the Easter Hunt at the White House and anyone could go. No big deal. Just show up with the other kids and have fun. Now its a big POLITICAL deal with media coverage and all. Special invites and all.The White House belongs to the People just like the Capitol. Not some ones personal mansion. But I am but a voice in the wilderness. But still a voice and I like the wilderness.

Just for reference, where do you find this data? You state some very specific data but don’t provide a link.

I haven’t seen any cartoons anywhere about Scott Prouty and the 47% video. I guess they don’t think it was important.

Thanks Mechanic. I use BLS and Bloomberg as sources for a lot of my posting and they can get involved to sift through until you find the right data.

Thanks, doc, for the link. Can any of our conservative friends respond to the points made there?
