I never wonder in the least about hypocrites like Whoopie Goldberg who say they would welcome paying more taxes, as if they really were interested in doing it they could always write out a check to the United States Treasury, but they never do.........they just tell us to vote for Obama as the tax ghoul cometh.
I thought for an interesting perspective we could look, now that Queen Pelosi is sticking it to successful Americans, who are Obama voters for an additional 5.4% surtax just what kind of taxes Oprah Winfrey, the Obama supporter and Muchelle Obama's enemy list maker, pays to the government in Social Security, income taxes and payroll taxes.
Miss Oprah earns it is said around 260 million dollars a year either showing the refuse of society to the couch potatoe society or telling the refuse and couch potatoe queens to buy some book, eat some pill or do something else Oprah to make you feel hap hap happy.
It is interesting in my relatives the Wedgwoods of London, who conned people into buying china, so they could eat on the same plates the Queen did, made a fortune on the same idiotry which Oprah does. People will never be like Oprah, but people think by watching her she is their friend and cares.........when if they showed up the high priestess' home they would be shot by Chicago PD for stalking Ms. Winfrey.
Off the top of the tax list is Oprah just like all Americans pays in half of what she makes in taxes. That would be 130 million dollars.
If you itemize as a business which Oprah does, yes you can buy planes (this is why Rush Limbaugh rents his a jet, because as a business or in doing business on any trip, it is a tax deduction and a way to glean back the horrendous amounts of money the government confiscates by threat of prison.), but in the end the government always wins out unless you are Warren Buffett in stashing away billions in "trusts" for his worthless children to manage in "foundations" for perpetual luxury without doing a thing.
So Oprah has payroll taxes in her Harpo Productions, Social Security taxes and insurance matching funds. Yes accountants and lawyers are tax deductible as the hired help, but once again it whittles down to the government winning out unless you are Tim Geithner in he just doesn't pay taxes as most criminal patricians do.
On top of all of this is Obama Pelosi's new 5.4% tax on Oprah which amounts to over 14 million additional dollars Oprah has to cough up in tax confiscation from the government. The little over is 40 thousand dollars or the price of a really nice automobile.
I realize liberals always claim it is good to soak the rich in taxes for their fair share, but it was amusing when brainiac Ken Jennings on Jeopardy was earning his huge winnings, he all of a sudden figured out that his liberal stupidity in soaking the rich, actually caught him in the IRS net stealing his money.
Yes it is your money, even that kid out of South Dakota who won that over 200 million dollar lottery received after ever government body stole their share only ended up with something like 80 million dollars. Some would say that is a great deal of money yet, but I would point out that this poor cowboy who had his trailer repossessed had pilfered from him, 120 million dollars.
That to me sounds like a whole lot more money and it is criminal in God's Laws for anyone, to take more than 10% in taxes or tithes.
I realize Oprah is a fraud in here "give aways" end up in local people raising money to give the money away as she shows up to take the credit, but in American standards this Obama voter fraud in Oprah Winfrey, this blog champions her on one account and that is Obama Pelosi have no business stealing another 14 million dollars from this woman and awarding it to people who will not work and to Obama cartel cronies in where all this health, banking, bailout, stimulus and education money is going to end up with in the end.
Oprah Winfrey is dump as a post, but this blog looks out for even successful wealthy dolts who vote for Obama as in essence Democrats literally are holding Oprah hostage like was done in Africa so either slaves or village treasure would be handed over to the man with guns.
Wesley Snipes the successful actor was ruined by taxes and hounded into court over these issues of successful people if they are not careful, they end up in prison, because they like most people think, "Hey I'm earning a hundred million dollars, I can't spend all of that".
No they can't, but the IRS will take a shark's cut and leave you with pauper funds as rich little you blinks at the check they are demanding and you will write it out or you will be in prison with fines.
Barring of course you are Tom Daschle in which case you just hand over some change and it all goes away.
For the poor people of America, I really would appreciate it if Oprah Winfrey would stand up and say, "ENOUGH! I didn't vote for Barack Obama so he could mug me of an additional 14 million dollars to give to his homers!"
The reason this matters to poor people is Oprah is a cash cow like all rich people are. Rich people hire people to manage their money which means they are employed. Numbers of people are employed by rich people.
Rich people buy V 8 engines so they fill up more gas to profit a small gas station owner. They buy things no one needs in jewelry, yachts, build several new homes, and most like Whoopie Goldberg buy lots of guns to shoot intruders with.
The point being is the rich splurge and make businesses profitable, which means businesses employ more people to deal with rich people spending. Those poor employed people then generate the entire world economy.
When Oprah has 14 million dollars more confiscated, it does not go into buying stocks or investments in local bonds which all in the end employ people reading this blog. When Obama takes Oprah's money and dumps it into government, all that happens is some worthless government employees get hired, produce nothing, buy nothing as the government feeds it all into socialist Marxist programs all are mandated to be a part of in enslaving them, and success is whisked away and the entire nation is nothing but those Mexican border busters working as slaves for Obama corporations who will never get a chance at the brass ring as it is instead a copper hog ring in their nose, they are being led around by by liberals.
But then Oprah was suckered like 70 million Americans in voting for Obama and is joining the ranks of the betrayed by Obama.
They won't appreciate it, but this blog is looking out for them in their maniac stupidity.
