Colby would think a monkey handled himself well if the monkey was a democrat.

Colby wrote this story a couple days ago. Just change around a few words, add some quotes. Waaa -laaaaaa!

So how much did the President ask for this year’s Democratic Slush Fund, eh, I mean Jobs Plan?

Hey Colby…Are you going to comment about Jeffrey Immelt, one of Obamas economy advisers, sitting with the first lady after sending all those hard working American jobs to China? Just curious is all!!Anyways we all know that Warren Buffet does not pay less taxes then his secretary….that is a total lie….only the PC underinformed buy into that BS….and those same underinformed happen to vote Democrat. Democrats wished everyone was stupid!

Bill called out Carney on the Immelt invite.  He should have also pointed out that this “bill” is not paid for, instead asking the super committee to find a way to paid for it.

how can you not include the gumby story that immediately followed?  His quip and transition to Gumby was masterful.   

Bill also talked about parts he like in the speech. Odd Colby missed those parts as well.

No one is saying he pays less taxes than his maid, only that the tax rate on much of his income is less than the tax rate of his maid.

Ya gotta’ love the “bum’s rush” on getting this plan through before anyone knows what hit them.

Or, as a Speaker-of-the-House once said (a sad commentary in itself): we have to pass it, so that we know what’s in!

I trust them, don’t you?
LMAO!

The best part was the Immelt stuff. Hilarious! And Jay trying to spin it was too funny. Bill nailed it.

I saw this on twitter: 

Jay Carney looks like Glenn Beck. They’re both using same hair bleach and wearing same frames. Creepy.

It’s true! Carney has morphed into Beck! 

But Bill is right on Buffett, too. I wish he would have brought up the fact that Buffett owes like$1B in back taxes, too.

What a fitting reply to Dem4Ever2′s comment.  Very good go, indeed.

Resist we much.

I think Cantor brought it up on Hannity.

Oh did he? Good! 
My stream is chunky and keeps cutting out for some reason. I might have missed it. 

Just like healthcare “reform.” Obama has no idea how he’ll pay for it he just rams it through.

He doesn’t have any significant income, as defined by tax law. He makes almost all his money from capital gains.

Listen to Jay say “the president wants to put Party ahead of Country” right before the 7 minute mark.

Bi-partisan ?

I guess not.

This is an indicator of the level of comprehension those on the right possess, they honestly think Buffett was saying he pays less than his maid in taxes, unbelievable.

Well that was an entertaining interview. Take notes Gretchen of Faux and Friends.

Give O’Reilly some credit; at least he admits he’s opinionated…

The “American Jobs Act.” Of course, if you oppose this plan, you must be against creating American jobs. What a way with words President Obama has.

As the President’s approval continues to flounder, are the Democrats going to go down with the ship? – or put up a primary challenger to the king?

WTF are you talking about. Capital gains are reported as income. However, they are subject to a lower tax rate. His business model is to invest in companies, hold long, and then make a profit.  His point is that the profits he makes in his business are subject to a much lower tax rate than his maid’s salary.  

Bill O is the only guy I can stand on Faux. He did a good job compared to Gretchen.

GREAT CATCH charger! 

PARTY BEFORE COUNTRY?????    I think NOT Jay Carney, BAM!

Wrong…..We understand why he said such a stupid statement….It was intentionally designed to mislead his underinformed base!! Sounds like you understand that as well….if you were truthful that is!!

Thanks goes to SWL…and Jay Carney for telling us what the president’s priorities really are.

;-)

And his media will dutifully spread those words on his behalf.

I don’t expect Warren’s investment company to pay $1 more in taxes than they are legally required to under the law. If he and the government have a dispute over the proper treatment of certain items on his company’s tax returns, that are ultimately decided in the favor of  U.S. government, then his company will be subject to accrued interest on any outstanding balances.

He did not say ‘less’ taxes, he said lower rate! 

The Obama administration couldn’t be more blatant and cynical, can they?

It’s nothing but a bunch of great sounding/poll tested soundbites. It’s devoid of substance, just like Obama.

name me a president who knew how he would pay for something and then list those who are successful.

He does pay a lower rate on the capital gains from dividends, but those dividends are paid AFTER they are taxed. Pre and post dividend taxes are about 43%.

Hey Jay Corney, tell your little bossman to tell his buddy, Warren “Tax Evader’ Buffet, to pay his $1 Billion$ in back taxes. And then tell the other dummycrap lackies to pay their back taxes. You know all them ex dummycrap Gov’s & Senators you tried to put in your worthless Cabinet when you took over OUR White House.

This would be almost comical, if it wasn’t so pathetic.
It’s the same ObamaCare – Stimulus ACT all over again.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
Rush…rush…rush
Joint Session for a Political Speech.

This guy is a transparent Chicago politician…all double-talk, and you can’t trust him anymore.

0bama = Flop

Oh brother.

Another stupid conspiracy theory.

What part of “intentionally” and “mislead” do you not understand?

Perfect example of the “underinformed”!!

No, they couldn’t. And what’s pathetic is the American people will fall for this charade, because Obama knows how to sell his brand, like him or hate him. Remember, this is similar to the way the Bush Administration framed the debate over the War on Terror. And if you opposed the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (like I did), then you were either “unpatriotic” or “against the troops.”

I don’t think anyone in the Democratic Party has he guts.

It would be racist, after all.

Freudian slip. LOL!

“We need to pass it so we can see what’s in it”—-Nasty Pelosi

Jimmy Hussein Carter….ohhh wait….never mind!

They are not subject to the regular income tax, genius. Capital gains are taxed at a lower rate. And they don’t take payroll taxes out of them, either. That’s the point.

Whoops!

LOL

Obama IS the Democrat Party! What are they without him? They’re a bunch of losers. They shat all over Hillary and she was their only hope.

Tonight we got “Reverend Obama” the snake oil salesman. On Labor Day it was “Community Agitator Obama”.

O’Reilly’s show is as much about how he views the world as anything else – which is fine as long as you know that going in.  Its not unlike watching to see how Johnny Carson might react to a guest or his feelings on a new act or movie.  The information shared is unique and valuable, but there’s also perceived value in observing how Bill will go after a certain point of a given topic – with satisfaction when he hits what you want him to hit and irritation (or learning something) when he goes after something else.  I generally like when he has Megan Kelly on since she’s as likely to rip him a new one as he is to others.

You’re missing the point genius. Buffet is the biggest holder of Berkshire stock which is subject to the corporate tax rates. Those earnings within Berkshire are taxed first, and then dividends are paid out which are taxed again. So GJ Pinks is right

“And what’s pathetic is the American people will fall for this charade”

What’s more pathetic is the way the American people have been duped into believing that giving more money to the rich is in their best interest. The kicker is they’re being told that by rich people and they’re buying it.

I’d like to see someone actively working the discourse away from the bi-partisan talking points about big government vs. big business and toward talking about a workable economic model that promotes individuals opening their own businesses and creating their own jobs. As it is right now, we have two parties steering the discourse in the direction of their choosing, with no one even attempting to step back and think about what’s truly best for ALL of the American people.

“Change you can believe in”…yeah right! Just more of the same old cynical, partisan BS. The only difference is that now if you disagree with the Democrats and Obama, you’re a racist who hates America.

He’s got nothing.
The GOP should do the few things they agree with him upon, and if he refuses, let him take his act on the road.
People see him for the lying, duplicitous Chicago Pol he is.

There’s a Tea Party (sentiment) groundswell that will ensure elected officials redact the tax code and abolish crony-capitalism-enabling regulations.

Who do you left wing zealots really think your fooling, cause it’s you.

The eight hundred pound gorilla used the administration’s monkey on a string as his toothpick. 

I assure you Carney wasn’t ” in on the joke ” as you proclaim. Rather he was the joke, as well as it’s butt…..but nice try just the same. 

Dude just because you didn’t understand it doesn’t mean the rest of us are that dumb. It was very clear the first time, you just got the FauxNews butchered version.

As long as the religious right is the winner of the Republican primaries Obama will have no problems getting re-elected. I would like to see Huntsman or Paul win it all, but that’s not going to happen because they don’t appeal to the majority of Americans who are either too lazy or stupid to open their eyes.

AJ. We’re talking about personal income here. Not the income from the company. That’s a separate issue. Buffet is not the sole proprietor of Berkshire. He is a stockholder. How much the company gets taxed affects the profits of the company, and thus the dividends, but the company profits are not his income.

You’re right; I used to think they were playing dumb just to
defend the indefensible. Now, I really believe a lot of this goes right over
their heads and they resort to parroting whatever Limbaugh and Hannity say to
try and keep up and pretend they understand issues they really have no clue
about.  Limbaugh knows this and that’s
why facts don’t matter to him because he knows his fans will simply repeat his
lies because they think it makes them sound smart.

Nice example of Perry’s crony capitalism, that you want to pawn off on us.:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44442051/ns/politics/

Warren Buffett said he pays less taxes and the democrats bought it.  It’s misleading or a lie – take your pick.  O’Reilly was right to point it out.  Warren is pandering to the Pres.  For what reason, who knows.

Lots of the left on here believe that to be true and it isn’t.  If what Obama was saying that he wants to raise the capital gains tax – then say that and quit with the lie

That would go over big btw.  lol

No, Fox News got it exactly right.  They didn’t butcher anything.  

Warren thought when he first said it that people are so stupid that just because Warren said it – it’s true.  Well, we all knew it wasn’t.  Many of you did not.  Go back and read the comments of the “knowledgable” crew who were astounded!

Immelt was sitting in the President’s box.

Immelt has shipped tens-of-thousands of jobs overseas.
GE is holding 2 trillion dollars overseas and pays zero tax.

Maybe a good job plan for the President would be to get rid of his bff Immelt.

Obama wants to turn this country into Venezuela, and govern it like a Third-World Junta; where you use the powers of the federal government to support your friends and attack your enemies.

and his losses?

Well, since Colby made it sound like Bill brought up Buffett’s name for the hell of it – and didn’t state that what O’Reilly said was correct, why would you think that Colby would be honest about any other part of the interchange?

Capital losses are offset against Capital gains dumbbutt.

Who wants to “give more money to the rich”?  Seriously, you have a problem.  

BillO’ and the cons hate Buffet because he really is a patriot and puts country first and makes them look like the greedy heartless bastards they are.   

calling Jake Tapper a pinhead was totally uncalled for. He’s a fair and tough reporter andI think Bill is proving himself to be a lightweight with the way he backs off after a short time.

Good thing you’re not Obamas lawyer cause that was a piss poor defense.

There are also plenty investment companies that operate as limited liability companies or as S corporations where dividends and capital gains pass through to the shareholders without corporate level taxation. His point is that there are plenty of individuals who make their living as individual investors, but who pay taxes at a rate significantly lower than the maids that work for them.

““Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary and the 19 other people who work in his office. He pays a much lower rate than I do, and, I suspect, lower than nearly everyone reading this column. So, no doubt, do a long list of American billionaires, including Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone and the hedge fund king John Paulson.”” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/20/business/questioning-the-dogma-of-lower-taxes-on-capital-gains.html?_r=1

Is it really all that difficult for you? Do you know the difference between a rate and an amount?

I don’t give a damn about what you “expect”, Jackwagon.

That lower tax on the “job creators” didn’t help with the economy so it’s time to give lower taxes on the real job creators.  

Change the tax code and tax the shit out of everyone who makes over a million dollars.  For the love of god, just fucking do it already. You had 2 years of absolute power, and you pussies failed to live up to your own socialist instincts, and now you want Conservatives to go against their better judgement and adopt your idiotic keynesian shit? F-ck you, I say.

Gosh darn I have no clue pit boss.  Please, educate me.  

Perhaps Warren should get a job, don’t you think?  

Thanks for the heads up though – dumb me….Do you know the difference between capital gains tax and income tax?

Have you dumbfucks ever bothered to ask Buffet why he doesn’t cut a check to the government on his own? Why does this old liberal pussy need the government to force him into living up to his own words?

Cut a fucking check, Warren, or shut your mouth.

If the white hood fits . . .

How about you stop being a bully by no longer harassing your ex-wife with the local police department?

Until Warren Buffet cuts a check for half of his net worth as a voluntary contribution to the government, whatever he says about raising taxes is worth no consideration at all.

Kind of sad when Bill O’Reilly has become the voice of moderation on Fox.

Buffett to Give Bulk of His Fortune to Gates Charity

“Mr. Buffett plans to give away 85 percent of his fortune, or about $37.4 billion, all in Berkshire stock. Of that amount, he will channel the greatest share, about $31 billion, into the Gates Foundation…”
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/26/business/26buffett.html

DietCockHead: Why do you feel the need to suck the Corporate penis? I’m speaking in “metaphors” of course. How do you figure making it easier for people start their own businesses is “socialism”? And why so cranky? Did your hip pop out of its socket again? :(

The Gates Foundation only spends 13% of their grants within the US. 80% is spent for “World Advocacy”.

Yep pure class here!! And people really wonder why the right is laughed at. Keep it up TAKE, I need another laugh!!!!!

There never is any information from Bill O. The fool just likes to hear himself talk. 

HEY…Carney-Barker…Ask your Boss how much he REALLY meant it when he wagged his finger during his ‘speech’ demanding more stuff be made in the U.S.A. I’m all for that, but I don’t think OBAMO  went over to the THRONE his boyfriend Jeffy Immelt was sitting and said, “Jeffy…you need to make stuff in Cincinnati instead of China.” GE’s Jeffy Immelt will go right ahead and continue making stuff in China, and OBAMO won’t even care.

I wasn’t defending Obama, I was asking why this is crucial issue for you since no one has done this since 1950 and the party you support always seems to make it worse.

Almost all the corporations, including GE, have moved most of their manufacturing overseas. That has been 25 years in the making. We certainly can not demand that corporations manufacture in the US, but we can cause there to be a significant benefit to those corporations that manufacture here in the form of tax credits.

Why?

I doubt if you ever trusted Obama, let along, “anymore”. In fact your game as long as I can remember is to trash the president for any and all things. Which is fine. The health care reform act is not really “Obamacare” because Obama’s reform plan was deep sixed by the republicans. “Obamacare” is just a very sad compromise. As for the stimulus, though you do not admit it, that created jobs. 

So you would prefer no effort by the president on jobs?

You see him that way, Norbit, but most people, no.

You see him that way, Norbit, but most people, no.

Buffett, if you wanted to pay taxes, pay yourself a salary instead of hiding behind capital gains.

Buffett, if you wanted to pay taxes, pay yourself a salary instead of hiding behind capital gains.

Buffett, why do your companies owe nearly $1 billion in back taxes?

O’Reilly, I’m impressed. I didn’t watch the  speech, but did catch O’Reilly.   He nailed it that the focus will be to increasing the capital gains tax, and he’s also right that people will change their investments because of it.  Explains the obsession with Warren Buffet.   

Does seem crazy to hit actual investments when on the edge of a ‘double dip’ recession cliff, but it’s a strange place in DC.  Raising capital gains is an easy ‘political’ answer to raising taxes, but is a dangerous move to make right now.   Most people won’t understand the difference, which works politically.  Any housing investment gets hit too, so if passed, the housing market gets hit as well.  

O’Reilly’s sarcasm is lost on you?  That’s why I like his show, he’s entertaining… 

Buffet is one my business heroes, so he’s right to attack this point as being misleading, BUT should acknowledge how much Buffet has done for the US economy   

Carney actually was good on the show, it was a good back and forth, which is what the media is supposed to do.   

you could have ended it at ‘no idea’.  Romney had that right.  Obama is a nice person, and wants to do the right thing, just has no clue how to do it.   

Buffet, like all liberals, is a hypocrite.

Tax credits, however, are only meaningful if there is a healthy tax to credit against.

or you can spend less money and not need so much tax revenue from the American people. Or since these businesses will now be back in the US with US workers the tax base is expanded which increases revenues on its own. Tax revenue and tax credits are not a zero sum scenerio. Certain actions that, at face value, would appear to lower revenues (such as cutting tax rates) can actually increase revenue to to the economic expansion that it could lead to. Its just not as simple as give tax credit here and raise taxes there to cover it.

because if he really thinks he is undertaxed and really thinks he should pay more, why should he wait for the government to force him? If his convictions tell him he should be paying more than what is stopping him? You always hear these wealthy lefties complain the rich don’t pay enough. Well buck up guys and cut those checks!  

The point is, that the corporations that manufacture abroad because it is much cheaper must pay a penalty by facing higher taxes than those corporations that provide jobs in this country, otherwise they will not be motivated to bring those jobs here. That is accomplished by having a higher corporate rate, with credits for employing US workers. As it is now, the corporations cynically manufacture in places that do not regulate (for example, pollution and worker & product safety) and who routinely pay bribes to local governments for special advantages that are illegal in the US, then bring their cheaply made products back into the US, via republican free trade, and sell it here, thereby undercutting US manufacturing.

How do it mean otherwise when you have the other side have not come up with anything and only focused on getting him out themselves in white house?

LOVE how Faux News tries to tell others to stop EXACTLY what it is they are doing!! hahahha. LMAO.

How about this, Bill-o how about YOU stop with the KOCH brothers and your Nazi Ties!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v7cYms1Mhs

Did you even WATCH the speech for yourself? Or was that the fat cigar smoking drug addict’s word of the day (don’t bother with the “libel” accusations – it’s all true.  Here are the FACTS from the Speech .. I know that facts don’t mean much to Fox News or baggers, but give it whirl:    http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/09/08/fact-sheet-american-jobs-act

O’Reilly makes the good point that those on MSNBC were afraid to make. It all Buffett BS.

He believes that all wealthy people should pay more, not just him. That is different than you stated. He giving more money would not help the deficit, all superwealthy giving more would.

I agree with Bill on this one. It’s going to be another talking point that people will get tired of. It’s like Bachmann, who just keeps pounding on the repeal of Obamacare and He’s a one term president. That’s why she’s going south because that’s all she’s got. I still remember last summer and fall when Obama kept saying, You drove the car into the ditch and you want the keys back, well you can’t have them back. That didn’t work either, and the mid-terms proved it.

Capital gains are a form of income. They should be taxed as income. Giving them a different tax rate was designed to increase investment, but we don’t need that kind of investment any more. Businesses, big businesses, are sitting on lots of cash. They need customers, not more investors. The same goes for small businesses. Many are privately owned and don’t want or need investors. They only want/need more customers.

Only more customers can make a business grow.

As for O’Reilly, he has plenty of skin in this game. He is one who would have to pay more taxes because this is not ONLY about capital gains taxes. In fact, he is using capital gains taxes as a red herring.

Reform the tax laws, and he will. He knows that. You are agreeing with him.
Shocking!

The things Obama wants are not in effect yet. If they were, Immelt would not have as much reason to build up in China.
