I guess the iconic Lib Newsmedians must have missed the POTUS “non-campaigning” about Republicans wanting to “poison the air”; or the VPOTUS saying rapes and murders would go up if we don’t pass the President’s Slush Fun…I mean, Jobs Bill!                                                                                           
 
I guess the VPOTUS would rather pull police off the street instead of asking their supporters in the public unions to contribute a small percent to their health premiums – like the private sector does!

Uh….I think the original quote; ” “if you’re not rich, blame yourself!” was for the OWS protesters.

Uh….I think the original quote; ” “if you’re not rich, blame yourself!” was for the OWS protesters.

Does anyone besides Mediaite & TPM report on this doofus dork Colbert?

Sorry Norbit, but many union workers and many public sector employees contribute to their health premiums, whilst earning less than many private sector employees who often don’t contribute to their health premiums. That’s the beauty of President Obama’s HCRA. My company (I’m a partner) pays 100% of each employee’s health insurance premiums. For the last last two (2) years we’ve been able to do so only because the HCRA provides us a tax CREDIT, not just a deduction, for doing so. 35%. A tremendous help to my small business and to my employees. My wife, a teacher, pays 25% of her premium even at the disgraceful salary Tollbooth Perry parses out to Texas teachers. Well, I’m sure you’ve noticed in the debates how much he cares about education. 

No, it wasn’t dingbat. Amazing, you’re no smarter, nor any dumber as Lala than you are as any of the Nutsofast family of lame comment “utterers”. 

Morning Joe.

It has you talking about him.

Mediaite is just doing their part for the Democrat party. Their party. 

I Colby Hall needs to re-watch Colbert commentary again.  Colbert is obviously mocking Herman Cain by pointing out that Cain is being hypocritical. Hypocritical by first saying you can only blame yourself for not being rich, then by saying they are directing the anger to the wrong place.

“Ya unemployed you should be out in front of the white house blaming yourself for not having a job”

Quote the whole clip before you cherry pick to make some obscure point.

…Just as Fox News does so explicitlyl for the GOP!

Man that was some good satire. And I’m still chuckling over the 999 montage ending with Hitler.

Stoneyjack,

Until you get your own show on Comedy Central and regale us with more of your “doofus dork” observations, I think I’ll just stick with the professionals.

Kay?

It sucks when you have nothing to do but insult the person rather than what he said. 

Please don’t inject rationality, facts and concrete examples into this otherwise wondrous cauldron of right wing nonsense. You’re casting pearls before swine and we’re far too busy calling each other names.

Everybody but Fux.

so you paying less in taxes (a tax CREDIT as you call it) allows you to do more with your business…interesting.

Also, as to your wife, the teacher, and her disgraceful salary….I am sure she joined a union, if so, then she would have known what her salary would be, and the fact that no matter how hard she works or how well she does she will make that same salary. Unions do not pay based on merit.

Your pompous retort is predictable acknowledging the uncanny ability of leftwingers to assume intellectual high ground on topics that start on a false premise.
 
The fact of the matter is that public employees make generally 40% more when compared to their private sector counterparts in similar jobs.
 
Furthermore, the average teacher salary in texas is 50k..which is above the national average, and $3000 more than the average HOUSEHOLD median income in Texas.  This is for of course about 180 days work a year, versus everyone else who works year round.
 
So I’m not sure what all the bitching is about coming for you two, but your leftys..so I guess its in your nature, and it compels you to “know so much that isn’t so” .

Just as MSNBC does so explicitly for the DNC

—See how that works?

similar to how you chuckled with hank william’s comments ending with hitler?

that’s what my parents said too.  I can see why the last generation actually accomplished great things while we just seem to complain about our little issues.   Louis CK on how good we have it and yet we complain

so true we have become a nation of whiners and complainers.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk

8.25% state tax now add a 9% federal sales tax = 17.25% Sorry I did the Math.

Hey, Stephen Colbert, use some of the millions you make (note I did not say EARN) for some plastic surgery to fix your ears. And hopefully straighten out and perhaps fill the void between them.

I hear the washed up hag, Sarandon is looking for another gigolo. Apply soonest!

Spin Norbit spin!

…It was kind of the obvious point!

It is that simple!

So now your are for class warfare.

Your “facts” are wrong. Hint: Look at adjusted numbers. If you don’t know what that means, go back to your highschool teacher.

Seeing as how I live in Fort Worth – which is in Texas since you have an obvious comprehension deficiency with regard to facts – and my mother, father and sister were all teachers in the state of Texas, I can safely say your “facts” are full of shit.
Go peddle your right wing bullshit to someone who will believe it.

I’d suggest one the many ‘illustrious’ candidates your reactionary political parties have to offer.
Now go away and never darken my door again.

Subject: [mediaite] Re: Stephen Colbert Agrees With Herman Cain: Suck It Up Unemployed, It’s Your Own Damn Fault

Hey Colbert, when it comes to viewers, when are you going to stop picking up Stewart’s “sloppy seconds”?
lol

??? Is there a point secretly hidden in there?

I didn’t give a rats ass what Williams said or the ridiculous media circus that followed. He was neither creative or funny. Colbert was IMO, but both comedy and music is subjective.

 I just love shooting A-holes like you down after you get done spouting a stream of unbridled stupidity.
 
Not sure why your entire family of teachers are paid anything but here’s the low-down on the AVERAGE teacher’s wage in Texas for your edification.
 
http://www.teacher-world.com/teacher-salary/texas.html
 
 
So here’s a suggestion for you.  Take your left wing bullshit and shove it back up your ass.  And then when your done educating yourself with what Texas teacher salaries really look like, you can then shove your head right up your ass behind your left wing bullshit.  And the dark door your describing…well I’d have to give you an anatomy lesson for you to understand what it is.

Well, if your going to state one obvious and self evident point, why ignore its counterpart?

…You’re not being ignored!

Please refer to my comments below to JackLean..they refer to you as well.

I guess it is the job of the con newsmedians to point out the inherent liberal bias of not holding a republican point of view.

I’ve noticed that rightwingers have an uncanny ability to resort to aggressive, threatening and abusive postures when all is not right in their world.

I’m a Tea Party member and I joined the 99% movement because I was tired of the government and corporations causing this country to go down the drain. Both are responsible for the reason why we find ourselves in this terrible situation. I’m asking all my fellow Tea Party brothers and sisters to join the movement to take our country back.  

I can honestly say i don’t understand the stephen colbert adoration society. I think people want to ignore him.  Then he’ll say something that is funny and, worse, he’ll say it so beautifully.  I think the problem is he has a mind.  Unfortunately, he is loved, so we just have to put up with him, stoneyjack.

Ouch, I bet that will sting when Stephen reads your comment.  

Dear Prince of Perception, aka fyonalon,

Your welcome to notice the left winger’s uncanny ability to do this as well…See Below since you missed it the first time!

“Seeing as how I live in Fort Worth – which is in Texas since you have an obvious comprehension deficiency with regard to facts – and my mother, father and sister were all teachers in the state of Texas, I can safely say your “facts” are full of shit. Go peddle your right wing bullshit to someone who will believe it.I’d suggest one the many ‘illustrious’ candidates your reactionary political parties have to offer. Now go away and never darken my door again.”

Also…I invite you to notice this left wing propensity demonstrated on a much larger scale through cursory observation of your closest OWS rally.

Anything else you need help with?

This isn’t news.

Just wait to the Occupy Wall Street movement attacks Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan
http://infrequentrant.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupy-wall-street-protesters-meet.html

Oddly the Tea Party was not an organic beast, but rather a lawn Astroturfed by huge corporations.
See here: http://infrequentrant.blogspot.com/2011/04/youtube-koch-brothers.html

Why Herman Cains 999 plan works.

9% income tax:
Not much to explain here. 
A flat tax rate that dramatically reduces the overall citizens tax burden!

9% sales tax:
I hear the most complaints here. 
So I hope this helps explain the benefit of the sales tax.
The 9% sales tax is actually a replacement for Embedded taxes in the price of products that average 21-23% increase in cost passed down to the consumer. 
Lets say the Embedded taxes are reduced to…oh…how about 9%!
thats a 12-14% difference in cost!
that’s not an additional tax but a decrease in price folks!
That’s right….
Lower prices!
  13 % decrease in cost 
- 9 % new tax 
= 4 % reduction in actual cost!
 This can’t be argued.
 I love it!

9% corporate tax:
9% corporate tax rate will save business an average of 10-20% or more on gross income!
Which business would use to expand, hire, and increase wages!

 throw in the tax incentives to buy American goods and business will pay even less while helping bring business back from over seas!

999 over view:
Prices would not be affected and businesses would have more money to grow along with no capital gains tax and incentives to buy american products, it would be a massive boom to the American economy!
Price paid for goods drops or stays the same and we get more jobs and better pay!

Empowerment zones:
Modeled to create better living.
 promotes people (not just the poor) and business to move to those areas.
The tax incentives make it much more appealing to operate business, build homes, reside in, and work in those areas, reviving the impoverished areas into flourishing communities!
(all families in poverty regardless of geography will receive tax breaks as well!)
Cain is the only “politician” to ever offer legislation truly geared toward helping minorities and revitalizing impoverished communities! 

Political corruption
Another driving factor is the elimination of corrupt politicians ability to pick and choose who pays what tax to “buy off” (ie. The giant GE paid no taxes in 2010) or punish business that diagree with their agenda with higher tax burdens.
The media and establishment republicans and democrats are terrified of Herman Cain because 999 removes lobbyist and special interest from the equation! Giving more power back to the people!

The IRS:
Another value is the benefit of a dramatically reduced cost for tax compliance! 999 will save billion each year in compliance costs for consumers and business alike!

Some economists strongly object and many enthusiastically embrace the 999 plan.
But really…. Look where these “economist” ideas have brought us?

999 is simple, transparent, and will most certainly grow our economy.
It doesn’t take an economist to see the value in 999! American citizens will make an easy conclusion that 999 is indeed bold simple and much needed!

Make politicians accountable!
Make corporations accountable!
Get the IRS off Americas back!
Get to know 999 and help Americans take back control!

Herman Cain 2012! 

9 Common arguments to 999:

Argument 1- everyone will pay much more for goods with a federal sales tax.
Answer:
IT DOES NOT INCREASE COST!
The 9% sales tax is actually a replacement for Embedded taxes in the price of products that average 21-23% increase in cost passed down to the consumer. 
Lets say the Embedded taxes are reduced to…oh…how about 9%!
thats a 12-14% difference in cost!
that’s not an additional tax but a decrease in price folks!
That’s right….
Lower prices!
  13 % decrease in cost 
- 9 % new tax 
= 4 % reduction in actual cost!
 This can’t be argued.

Argument 2-you can not trust companies to lower prices, they will just hoard all the profit.
Answer:
1. First off, most people and business are honest, and it makes no sense to hoard profits on a small portion when lowering their price will sell more product, improve public opinion and make them more competitive and profitable. Business make more money when the can lower cost!

2- secondly, the 999 brings clarity and transparency like never before, empowering the people to hold business accountable!
The people will have control!
I in NO WAY endorse the occupy wall street people but they prove my point that the American tax payer is ready to hold business accountable. 999 does just that!

Now that sales tax is cleared up and we understand we will not pay any more for goods let’s move on.

Argument 3- Most People will pay more in taxes.
Answer: 
NOT TRUE!
Now we know that sales tax does not increase costs we focus only on income tax. Heres a quick break down into 3 classes:

-The poor-
999 includes waivers for below poverty families!

-The middle-
The middle pays between  
14-19% now.
 9% under 999!

-The wealthy-
The wealthy pay an average of 24-29% now.
9% under 999!

Clearly most people will pay much less in taxes!

Argument 4: people will pay twice on their income tax.
People will actually pay 18% on income.
Answer: wow! This makes no sense what so ever.
It’s 9%! Under 999!
 Business are saving and average of 23-38% over all and people are claiming somehow we will pay a hidden 9% bringing tax to 18% on income? This analysis is partially derived from payroll taxes that do not exist under 999 and it is also a static analysis which means it assumes no behavioral change in business or consumer.
Only a dynamic analysis like Cains gives a true figure. Sorry but this argument is too far out there and the math so far off I can’t explain how they got to this conclusion.
It’s definitely not based on 999!

Argument 5: 999 eliminates social security and Medicare.
Answer:
Sorry, but that is incorrect! 999 does cover SS and Medicare.
Where do these people get this stuff!?

Argument 6: empowerment zones will create more poor and larger “ghettos”
Answer: empowerment zones Are modeled to create better living.
They promote people (not just the poor) and business to move to those areas.
The tax incentives make it much more appealing to operate business, build homes, reside in, and work in those areas, reviving the impoverished areas into flourishing communities!
Herman Cain is the only “politician” ever to propose real legislature to actually help impoverished communities! 

Argument 7: 999 will increase state sales tax.
Answer:
Definitely not true! 
The federal tax and state tax are separate and one does not effect the other.
State taxes stay the same and the federal tax is offset by removing embedded taxes!

Argument 8: 999 gives the government power to raise taxes, who says 999 won’t become 12,12,12 or 15,15,15?
Answer:
Ridiculous! Sorry my friends, but THAT is the current tax system! 
The government alters our taxes all the time right now!
Unlike the current tax system, 999 requires a supermajority to alter!
You are far less likely to see tax increases under 999!

Argument 9: the 999 sales tax is just another revenue stream for the government, giving government more control.
Answer:
What! Are you serious! 
999 replaces a seemingly endless number of taxes and 76,000 pages in the current tax code with 3 easy to understand taxes!
This is the worst argument by far!
Give me a break!

Herman Cain 2012!

None of you  seem to get it. This Left and Right B.S. is just to keep people occupied so nothing gets done except the Blame Game.We are all Americans and views differ on different subjects with most people I speak to there is no large Left and Right.
Dennis

Jack
