I hate Boortz, I think he is a moron... my friend thinks this is the plan, that somehow Boortz has the inside scoop... He quotes the shit out of this...



Shift Social Security and Medicare Taxes to the "Rich"

End the home mortgage interest deduction

Socialized Medicine

Tax your pension funds

Tax your pension contributions also

The Magic of Imputed Income

Imputed? What does "imputed" mean?

One definition is to "credit." So, by imputed income, we mean that you are credited with income you didn't necessarily earn.

The goal is clear. Democrats want to milk the high-achievers for as much money as they possibly can. There are really only two ways Democrats can get more income tax out of you. One way is to raise the tax rates. At some point this is going to prove to be politically risky. So, how else can they bleed you for more? Even Democrats who have been to government schools can do simple math. They know they can get more money out of you if that line on your income tax return that reads "taxable income" can be increased. Forty percent of $120,000 is more than 40% of $90,000. All you have to do is impute – credit – more income to the poor taxpaying high-achieve

7. I caught a bit of that whiney-ass s**thead yesterday--is it about
the Dem "predators" that want to "take away their individuality"?

I had to laugh at that--the conformist kool-aid drinkers scared about losing their "individuality."

I have no idea what the pseudo-intellectual scare-monger means by it, though. do they think Democrats want everyone to join a collective and call each other comrade or something? They don't remember that nothing like that happened under Clinton?

sheesh--ignoramuses!!

10. A message for Kneel Boortz and any other Bush loving tax ...
complainers. STFU! Time to open your wallets and pay for the bills your dear leader has run up. You didn't complain while Bush spent the money in fact you cheered him on. Too late to complain now that the bills are coming due.

11. Oh man this is like shooting fish in a barrel
Shift Social Security and Medicare Taxes to the "Rich"
you mean actually switch back from the middle class carrying most of the tax burden to taxing corporations and the super wealthy? Yep, on the adjenda.

End the home mortgage interest deduction
Bullshit.

Socialized Medicine
you mean putting an end to policy written by insurance and drug companies and making sure all Americans have decent affordable health care? Yep, top of the list!

Tax your pension funds
yup, so that when the CEO's steal your pension, get convicted and then die and get their convictions reversed, their families can keep your money and not have to pay taxes on it

Tax your pension contributions also
see above


The Magic of Imputed Income
now you are just making shit up Neil

13. oh gee, great example he uses: $90,000 -- AS IF the average
dumb@$$ Boortz listener is ever going to see that.

he's just a garden-variety SELFISH greed-head money-grubbing LOSER who would rather die hoarding his all-important money than make a contribution to the public good. As far as he's concerned, there's no such thing as the "public good"--if you want to drive on a highway, you pay a toll. If you want a pothole fixed in the road in front of your house, YOU pay for it. If you want a cop to come to your house to arrest someone, you better have a subscription with the police department. Same for a fire. Only the wealthy deserve any services, I guess.

This is the same @$$-clown who whines that women, students, and "the poor" shouldn't have the right to vote! Let me play my little violin for poor wienie Boortz, who has the misfortune to live in a democracy, where everyone, rich and poor, male and female, black and white, has the right to vote. Poor, poor misunderstood Boortz! Gee, if it bothers him so much that he has to share a voting booth with a woman, why doesn't he go live in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia or someplace like that? Or--run for public office on that platform!! Like that will REALLY get the votes!!

He says anyone who "benefits" from "the government" shouldn't have the right to vote!! Like, DUH, what about those corporate welfare scammers, eh, Boortz? Like those CEOs AREN'T "benefitting" beyond their wildest dreams from government handouts, kickbacks, payola, laissez-faire policies, lack of regulation, no-bid contracts, etc. etc.? SCUMBAG DUMB@$$!!!

And WATCH OUT for his "Fair Tax" SCAM!!!! You KNOW if he's pushing it, it will do NOTHING, ZILCH, NADA for you, me, and the average Joe Blow. That is a neat little oxymoronically packaged further f**k-over of the working classes that will shift even MORE of the tax burden off of the rich and their craven money and onto the shoulder of the lower and middle classes.

14. "High achievers." I guess that's a status measured strictly in dollars, huh?

17. Imputed income
I'm not the tax expert in the family, but imputed income is where you derive a benefit from a business assest. Lets say your privately owned, closly held corporation owns a car. You drive it 60% for business and 40% for personal business.

You are supposed to claim "imputed income" for the personal use of that vehicle. But you get a huge tax savings over paying yourself the extra wages (which are taxed), to make the car and insurance payments.
