Al Sharpton Ignores Tea Party Congressman Repeatedly Asking ‘What’s Your Income?’

video
» 153 comments

Mitt Romney‘s tax returns provided at least one commentator plenty of fodder to feed his theory that the tax rates are unfair in this country: Al Sharpton, who invited on his program today Tea Party Congressman Rep. Tim Huelskamp for a spirited debate on social justice. It was the sort of debate where short questions were thrown in each other’s general direction but went, as ships passing in the night, equally unanswered. The two main questions: from Rev. Sharpton: “Is it fair?” after a number of statistics on tax rates that Rep. Huelskamp labeled untruths; and from Rep. Huelskamp: “What’s your income?”

RELATED: Al Sharpton Plays Dr. Frankenstein To Create His Perfect GOP Candidate

“Is it fair that millionaires pay a lower tax rate than their own secretaries?” was the first variation of Sharpton’s question, to which the Congressman replied that he had seen the State of the Union address and “what we heard last night was a campaign speech.” Sharpton called his reply “talking points” and asked the question again. “They actually don’t, according to the IRS,” Rep. Huelskamp replied. Asked again, with Sharpton citing a statistic that the average American taxpayer paid around 30%, the guest denied it, once again. Sharpton finally gave up trying to assert the statistics as true and simply asked, “if those statistics that I reported are true, is it fair?” “It’s not true.” This gridlock continued for a bit.

“What I’m trying to bring home to the American people is that you guys can’t discuss fairness,” Sharpton finally argued. Sharpton then turned to the Congressman’s district in Kansas, and noted that most people there make less in a year than Romney would make in a day, and insisted again that Romney paid less than average taxes. “He’s paying 14%. We’re not guessing– he released it,” Sharpton said of Romney, and Rep. Huelskamp responded that “fairness isn’t the end result, it’s the opportunity,” so what rich people pay in taxes should not particularly matter.

After Sharpton continued in this vein for some time, the Congressman turned and asked if he could interrupt to ask a question. “I’ve got to go,” Sharpton replied, while he replied “let’s not be envious.” The mischievous glint in Rep. Huelskamp’s eye preceded this question: “What is your income a year?” “I can tell you my tax rate is the same as the people,” Sharpton replied. “What’s your income, what do you make on this show?” And with that, the segment ended in fireworks.

    If Warren Buffett is so upset that his secretary “pays” a higher rate than he does, why doesn’t he “pay” her in stock options, then they will be on a level playing field.  Conversely, if Buffett took a salary in lieu of stock options, they would also be on a level playing field.  This is apples and oranges, and the Democrats know that their minions will never bother to research the difference.

    The money made by ANYONE who is NOT running for president is not even an issue. Why even ask the question? Just like WBuffet stepping in with his crap about what he feels would be fair. WHO ASKED? Buffet aint running for office. The bottom line is in the 80s these issues were discussed. A great GREAT GOP president (the GOP’s feelings) even said he felt it was wrong that a waitress pay more, proportionately, in taxes that a millionaire. In the end, the whole discussion is a word-play game for all of us watching. Will things change under Obama? I doubt it because they haven’t changed in nearly 20 years.Why this is a hot topic is very easy to understand, SUDDENLY the economy matters. Meanwhile I have countless saved emails from during the “Bush years” and they all have the same headlines “SOME NUMBER of employees, laid off by SOME LARGE FIRM”. WHY the American public doesnt remember this stuff (even though MOST movies even mention the “bad economy” from the early years of the 2000nds) is amazing. Perhaps we were too busy waiting for “alert colors”..

    “Is it fair that Buffet pays less of a tax rate than his secretary?”

    It’s a BS argument.

    Buffet is taxed on his INVESTMENTS.

    The secretary is taxed on her LABOR.

    The rates for both is DIFFERENT. 

    If, for example, The Secretary is also investing money, and makes profit off of those investments, then THAT money will be taxed at THE SAME RATE as the money Buffett makes off of investments.

    Comparing the rate off of INVESTMENTS, to the rate off of LABOR, is an apples and oranges argument.

    That is a sophism. A person needs money in order to invest. 

    As long as the secretary’s labor is taxed at a higher rate than the investor’s returns, the chance the secretary will become a significant investor is slim. If the secretary does manage to invest, it will have to be low risk. 

    So we are back to the unfairness of Buffet, with so much money he can afford to risk chunks of it, being taxed at a lower rate than his secretary.

  • Anonymous

    Difference being, Buffett’s secretary is NOT paying a higher rate than him. 97% of Americans pay less than 15% on their income taxes. Thats an indisputable fact form the IRS. Unless buffett’s secretary is earning $200k…. she is paying a smaller rate than Buffett.

    Also, Buffett already paid taxes on the money he is investing with…..investment money is after tax money…. so IF you even make a profit…you get taxed at 15%….if you dont make a profit, and LOSE money, you can only deduct $3,000 from your income. Is that fair?? Someone risks $10 million on a business, that business goes under and investors can only deduct $3,000…. and you think millionaires arent paying enough taxes??

    Georgia Presidential Preference Primary Hearings

    Dear Mr. Jablonski:

    I received your letter expressing your concerns with the manner in which the Office of State Administrative Hearings (“OSAH”) has handled the candidate challenges involving your client and advising me that you and your client will “suspend” participation in the administrative proceeding. While I regret that you do not feel that the proceedings are appropriate, my referral of this matter to an administrative law judge at OSAH was in keeping with Georgia law, and specifically O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5.

    As you are aware, OSAH Rule 616-1-2-.17 cited in your letter only applies to parties to a hearing. As the referring agency, the Secretary of State’s Office is not a party to the candidate challenge hearings scheduled for tomorrow. To the extent a request to withdraw the case referral is procedurally available, I do not believe such a request would be judicious given the hearing is set for tomorrow morning.

    In following the procedures set forth in the Georgia Election Code, I expect the administrative law judge to report his findings to me after his full consideration of the evidence and law. Upon receipt of the report, I will fully and fairly review the entire record and initial decision of the administrative law judge. Anything you and your client place in the record in response to the challenge will be beneficial to my review of the initial decision; however, if you and your client choose to suspend your participation in the OSAH proceedings, please understand that you do so at your own peril.

    I certainly appreciate you contacting me about your concerns, and thank you for your attention to this
    matter.

    Sincerely,
    Brian P. Kemp

    To be willing and actually paying those increased taxes are not the same.  People need to know the difference between how earned income (as from an actually job) and money used  (thats already been taxed once before investing) for investing are two different things and are taxed differently.  This is from the IRS not any political party!

    If this country is so unfair why do we have such an legal and illegal migration into this great country?  If anyone wants to make money sacrifice and do it.  At first it can be hard.  Eventually if we put our all into it we will reap from the hard work.  Why should anyone work hard, earn their money, pay their own bills and then have part of it taken to give to those who do not have motivation to improve their lot in life? This class warfare is BS.  We are a capitalist country and everyone has the opportunity to better themselves.

    Why didnt this guy mention that Buffet and Romney arent paying income taxes. They are paying capital gains taxes, which is different. That is the reason they pay less, the money is being risked in investments. Its not considered income to be taxed by an income tax bracket like everyday people think of.

    how about you look up effective tax rates…you are a total sap and a kool-aide drinker
    after all the normal deductions the average taxpayer pays 10-15% 
    44% wind up with refunds more than they paid in

    The simple answer here is that the 15% and the 35% tax rates are fair, The 15% is on investment monies that had already paid the 35% on previous earning. The 35% rate is on earned income which everyone pays that is earning income. Congress decided that the 15% rate was need to stimulate investment in American business to create jobs. There is no fairness problem here, just a timing difference on what percentage you are currently paying which applies to everyone.

    Hey Al.  Warren’s secretary earns over $375,000 a year.  She is not some poor little secretary earning $30,000 a year.  NO ONE pays 35% of their income earning $30,000 a year.

    In fact Warren’s secretary is part of the evil rich who by his definition earn more than $250,000 a year. 

    Al better get your facts right.

    Hey all you of you talk about “fairness”  I am sick and tired of “fairness” word.  Go ask any Republican or Democrat if they pay too much in taxes. 

    You know what all would say heck yeah.  A tax increase is good when it effects some rich guy, but a tax increase is terrible when it effects you.

    Taxes have nothing to do with fairness.  The bottom line is the government spends too much of our money.   The government should figure out a way to work with less instead of playing this class warfare.

    I have good Democratic friends who like to find ways to pay lower taxes.  Sort of makes me question their loyalty.

You say it sarcastically like that justifies her higher tax rate compared to his 15% rate, then you will turn around and say people that make $200-500 thousand a year are not rich.

    Georgia State Office of Administrative Hearings Judge Michael Malihi ruled that subpoenas demanding the presence of Barack Obama in his Georgia courtroom on January 26th along with the original form of his Hawaii birth certificate and information on his myriad Social Security numbers will remain in force.

    Obama ‘s attorney Michael Jablonski had filed a motion to quash those subpoenas, arguing if Obama were made to answer questions before the court it would “…[require] him to interrupt duties as President of the United States…” (1)

    It was also Obama’s claim that “presidential electors and Congress, not the State of Georgia, hold the Constitutional responsibility for determining the qualifications of presidential candidates.” (1)

    Well Judge Malihi did not agree with Obama’s arguments that the laws of the State of Georgia were somehow irrelevant to the process, or that his presence in the court would materially interfere with his ability to discharge the duties of his office.

    In his decision to allow the subpoenas to remain in force, Malihi wrote, “…Defendant (Obama) has failed to cite any legal authority evidencing why his attendance is ‘unreasonable or oppressive, or that testimony…is irrelevant, immaterial, or cumulative and unnecessary to a party’s preparation or presentation at the hearing, or that basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not be enforced.’ ” (2)

    In short, as Judge Malihi so eloquently put it, “”Defendants motion to quash is denied.” (2)

    The process before Judge Mahili began when a number of Georgia residents filed 3 separate lawsuits demanding that Barack Obama provide evidence of having met State of Georgia election law requirements before being placed on the ballot. Malihi agreed with the plaintiffs, quoting in his ruling Georgia law which states “…every candidate for federal office shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.” (3)

    In that ruling, Mahili stated “the court finds that the defendant (Barack Obama) is a candidate for federal office who has been certified by the state executive committee of a political party and therefore must, under Code Section 21-2-5, meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.” (3)

    Though Obama has managed to ooze his way out of legal responsibilities and requirements in the past, this time it really might be a bit thick for the acting president. Even the radically leftist Southern Poverty Law Center has decided to weigh in, giving vent to a typically childish attack of spleen in its “Hatewatch” column no less, where it snivels “…Malihi’s decision has been heralded far and wide as a defining moment for those who have hounded Obama about his lineage.” (4)

    Apparently demands that Barack Hussein Obama actually abide by the laws of the land and the Constitution of the United States make for a clear case of “hounding” to an organization known to file suit at the drop of a conservative hat.

    Here’s hoping Judge Malihi’s courtroom turns liberal petulance to leftist rage on January 26th. For Malihi’s ruling that day will determine whether or not Barack Hussein Obama may be certified by the Democrat Party to appear on the Georgia ballot in November. And as the Liberty Legal Foundation explains it, “without such a certification from the Party, Obama will not appear on any ballot in the 2012 general election.” (5)

    Correct.  As long as corporations make a profit, they will continue; They will have to soon accept a lower profit margin on thier goods because they are not paying their employees enough money.  They will need to focus on making their money off of quantity and not marking-up their items at huge profit margins.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EPBPRIPKCCBJL6GUVDYGU3K3PQ Charles S.

    Albert Sharpton was ordained when he was 9 or 10 as a reverend while he was attending a Pentecostal church. He later became a Baptist minister. His work(?) is now Political and mostly Racist or Racial subject matter mixed with hard line radical political racist agenda’s. Why is he still given the title of Reverend? Why is his organization given a tax free ranking when it is clearly a personal vendetta on the American Racial and Political lines of society and Government? Al Sharpton is NOT a Reverend or a Minister or a Preacher. These titles are all reserved for people who actively carry out the duties of a religious organization. Christian Church by the Wikipedia definition of Reverend or Minister.
     I believe Al Sharpton [ no I will not call him Reverend, he is not deserving and he is not the leader of any Christian Church, he is a Racist political activist, purely factual.] Sharpton in my personal opinion is nothing more than an agitator to keep racial and racist subject matter festering in the hearts of Black and White political oponnents for personal gain. He is actually a racist radical Radio personalty who must continue to keep his agenda wild and controversial in order to continue working and making money. Sharpton has dipped his pen into the political scene several times and found that even the black population won’t support his views enough to be elected to political office. He rean for president in 2004 and was poorly received even by the Black voter base and dropped out. Basically Al Sharpton, in MY personal opinion, is nothing but the blow fly in the ointment of American racial relations and everything he touches turns to something stinky and only fit to throw away.
     I can’t for the life of me understand why or how any sane human being could take Al Sharpton or any of his rhetoric as serious or even truthful. Al Sharpton is the most ridiculously unbelievable and pathetic example of political racial bull poop to have ever picked up a story and attempt to get something done. He was even told by Black leaders in New Orleans after Katrina to stay out of N.O. and not attempt to help because they believed he would do more harm than good!
     Al Sharpton makes a lot of money spewing hate and lies about many subjects only to fill his pockets with money. He is not a minister, reverend or pastor by any facet of the definition of the words. He is one of  the most brainless, biggest mouthed, stuffed shirt, blow hard, radical black racist ding bats I have ever had the displeasure to listen to. He actually makes me sick to my stomach. An ignorant purveyor of words he has no idea what they mean and enough loud mouth propaganda to sink a Battleship in ten minutes without a solid base of followers. His opinions of Tea party or any other political hopeful for any office other than dog catcher smells as bad as the runoff from an overflowing, retched septic tank which stinks to high Heaven. I don’t know how Huelskamp kept from falling out of his chair and dying of laughter from any stupid thing Sharpton said. AL Sharpton, a zero in the American political or religious scene.

    No they dont. People who pay capital gains taxes are taxed less for a VERY good reason. 9 time out 10 they have already been taxed on the money they invest. They were taxed when they originally made the money through their job(at around 25%). They then invest it, and are taxed again on at 15% if their investment makes any returns. On the same token, since they are investing their money (that they have paid taxes on already), they run the BIG risk of LOSING their investment. This is the reason that capital gains taxes are lower than regular income taxes. Dont try to debate me on this if you dont know what you’re talking about. On another note, Newt Gingrich wants to bring Capital gains taxes down to 0%. I do not agree with that. However, they definitely dont need to pay more than 15%.

    This is total hypocrisy until someone show me where John  McCain can be more qualified to run for president at the mere claim of one or two people that he was born on U.S. soil when his parents were overseas VERSUS Obama being verified by an entire Hospital (i.e., it’s doctors, nurses, staff, wing, and a specific claim of the delivery doctor that slapped infant Obama’s rear end to wake the child) and, later, certified by the entire State of Hawaii.

    Another case in point is a retired co-worker claimed her grandchild would be an American citizen even though her daughter was born in South Africa and her daughter’s husband was Australian. This came from the same woman that neglected to reveal the fact that THIS SAME extension of U.S. citizenship would be permitted for Obama [had that been the case, but Obama was born in a state (a providential region fully vested under the governance of the United States of America)]. Again…total hypocrisy….

    The arrogance of Malihi’s decision is astounding. If he needs legal authority showing that the president cannot be simply commanded to present himself in court on a very specific date, he might start with the Supreme Court of the United States, which strongly implied in Clinton v. Jones that a court cannot “compel the attendance of the President at any specific time or place.” Likewise, if he needs proof that summoning the president of the United States to testify on a frivolous issue would be “cumulative” of existing evidence, he might consider discovering something called “Google
