Reply #65: The Irony is that Obama paid 26% to the IRS this year...

[Grinchie]

Today, the white house announced what Obama's income and taxes paid were. It was announced like it was a badge of honor, most likely for some perceived political gain, but for me, it further reinforces my belief that Obama is nothing more than a talking head, or good looking face for the political machinery that actually calls the shots.

Personally, I think it shows how lame Obama is. Who in their right mind would pay 26% to the IRS? That is generally the highest tax rate you can pay, and you basically have to disavow any write-offs to accomplish that feat. It's so incredibly unrealistic that it makes me sick to my stomach that this so called president couldn't take the time to reduce his tax footprint, and choose to play the American citizenry as saps by proudly proclaiming that he pays the maximum rate!

Perhaps he thinks this will motivate all Americans to take the easy way out and fill out a 1040EZ without taking any deductions, but I can guarantee him that it's not going to happen.

Perhaps he wanted to singlehandedly make up for the difference for GE Corporation, which paid ZERO taxes on profits of Billions..

This President is truly a pitiful example of a Corporate Political Puppet without any semblance of self preservation or intellect. It's clear he does what he is told, and has embarked down the path of Political convenience without any idea that Rome is burning, the peasants are restless. and they know longer just accept things for face value anymore.

The Ponzi scheme is failing, and Obama fiddles as the country burns to the ground. No matter, just print another Billion dollars, and then shovel it into the black hole of the 3 or 4 wars we have burning right now to destroy it, because we don't want any inflation now, do we?
