Post a Comment*Unrelated to this cartoon (except maybe for the elephant) I just wanted to post something I saw yesterday. My family and I went to blooms and tunes at the Cincinnati Zoo to hear some great live local music. Anyway while there I saw Thayne Maynard the new Executive director walking around and mingling some but more importantly I saw him with no one watching picking up trash he found.
The reason I am posting this is it makes me even happier and more confident I made the right choice in voting for the zoo levy this fall.
It takes a democrat to draw a cartoon like this in April
and completely forget about taxes come November. I guess the same logic applies to the difference between a fetus and a baby.
When the current tax cuts expire Jim will have to redo the picture to include something heavier than an Elephant and more painful than a bed of nails.
I like bagpipes.
One could, and I guess I am, point out that doing taxes and paying are two different things.
I loathe doing taxes.
I don't mind paying them, except when they're wasted. (I'm lookin' at you "we lost a trillion dollars" pentagon.)
Thanks, Philip Shade! My feelings exactly.
our tax dollars have been wasted for over 40 years on "The Great Society".
Fighting a war in Iraq is far more worthwhile than creating the perpetual welfare state we're saddled with till hell freezes over.
When the current tax cuts expire...
we will all be better off because those who are best off will finally be paying their fair share.
our tax dollars have been wasted for over 40 years on "The Great Society".
ah, yes, still believe in the welfare queen story that raygun dreamed up. sad. how you can conflate a social safety net with the slaughter of millions of innocent people at a BORROWED cost of trillions of dollars really speaks to the lack of intelligence on the part of the right wing.
paying taxes is your responsibility as a citizen of the greatest country to take care of the commons. stop whining and deal with it.
Wealthiest 5% pay 60% of tax revenue.
12:43 anon >> How high do you want that to be to make it "fair"?
They pay 60%, but what percentage of income do they make?
As Sigmund Freud once said, sometimes an elephant is just an elephant. As opposed to a symbol of the Republican Party. I just needed a big heavy thing on the guy's chest. Maybe I should have used a piano.
BTW, this cartoon is several years old.
According to the sociology.ucsc.edu in 2001 the richest 5% of Americans possessed 68% of the country's financial wealth and 59% of it's net worth.
Depending on how you look at it, they are either paying a representative amount, or a less than representative. In either way, the wealthiest 5% are NOT being unduly taxed on their wealth.
the elephants are taking our proprietary engineering ideas that we come up with 40-90 hours a week and giving them to China, etc for free
as far as elephants go, you would think that based on this more disastrous new orleans katrina incident, that state at least would vote democrat, like they did a hundred years ago when hoover was in offcie and they blew up the part of the dam in the poor neighborhood so that the rich neighborhood wouldn't get wet; the story goes that the banks that promised to help the poor after the slaughter did not do so, hence a clear migration of blacks and poor whites to the democratic party
(too bad the democratic party can't get their stuff together)
any way you look at it, the irs is evil
they can come back couple years later and charge you another $2000 for absolutely no reason at all!!
Interesting (& true) Mr. Shade. Another way to look at it >> which group gets the most back from what they pay?
The lowest 5% gets a fabulous return on their payments (nearly infinite, since they pay almost nothing).
6:43:
Well, considering the bottom 5% have almost nothing to begin with, that's some cold comfort . . .
