Hi,
This is SILLY season. The festival time before elections when candidates are permitted to spend a mint on ADVERTISING AND PERSONAL APPEARANCES declaring either complete lies or ALTERED TRUTH.
!!!Since this is an economics blog and one of the economic categories is finance, this blogger would like to take you through one facet of this FESTIVAL FOR POWER.
The challenging candidate, Mitt Romney, has taken a lot of heat for having been SUCCESSFUL in a country that prides itself on SUCCESS but that our current government feels is a DIRTY WORD. THIS BLOGGER FAILS TO UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITE OF SUCCESS IF IT ISN'T FAILURE AND OUR ERSTWHILE SOCIALISTS NEVER EXPAIN THAT. However, be that as it may the current theme is that Romney hasn't PAID HIS fair share or DUES to AMERICA, the country in which he succeeded.
Let's analyze that statement. One of the examples used is that he paid 14% on $20 million dollars AND THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONSTITUTE A FAIR SHARE.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT 20% OF TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IS ??????????????? THEY COUNT ON YOU NOT TO KNOW OR FIGURE IT OUT.
IT IS 2.8 MILLION IN TAXES. THAT'S RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!! TWO POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS IN TAXES WHICH AMOUNTS TO:
$200,OOO. A MONTH (in round #s)--THAT'S A MONTH $$. TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND A MONTH!!!!
MOST FOLKS WOULD WELCOME $200,000. A YEAR (not a month) AS A HAPPENING SALARY!!!!!!!!! HE'S PAYING THAT amount a MONTH (yearly) TO OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE SOCIALISTS DO NOT CONSIDER THAT A FAIR SHARE !!!!!!!!!! BASED ON WHAT ?????????????
AS AN EXAMPLE (PICK YOUR OWN PROJECT FOR THIS MONEY)an experienced public school teacher in America makes approximately $56,000.(+or-) a year to TEACH A MULTITUDE OF KIDS. ROMNEY'S TAX PAYMENT WOULD PAY FOR APPROXIMATELY FIFTY (5O) TEACHER'S YEARLY SALARY. IN EFFECT HE'S TAKEN CARE OF FIFTY OF OUR CITIZENS AND PRESUMABLY THEIR FAMILIES. How many families did our tax payments individually support ?????????
SURE IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF THOSE SCHOOL TEACHERS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE $200,000. A MONTH OR 2.8 MILLION (ROMNEY'S COST OF TAXES) A YEAR. They deserve it BUT THAT IS NOT THE WAY ANY FINANCIAL WORLD CAN SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!!! PERHAPS WHAT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT IS A REEVALUATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF JOB SKILLS AND SEE TEACHING ON A HIGHER SALARY PLANE BUT THAT'S A TOPIC APART.
WHO THOUGHT UP THIS "FAIR SHARE" THING IN THE FIRST PLACE????????? And how do they plan to figure OUT what YOU OWE. If 2.8 million is too little for Romney to pay and help 50 teachers BE PAID their ANNUAL SALARY, just WHAT IS CONSIDERED ENOUGH?????????? FOR YOU ???????? ARE YOU LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD AT TAXES THAT AMOUNT TO MORE THAN YOUR CURRENT BILLS ??????????????
REMEMBER THIS IS THE SAME group THAT SET UP THE 'SUBPRIME MORTGAGE' DEBACLE which BROUGHT OUR COUNTRY TO ITS KNEES IN 2007-8 AND ONLY A TARP BAILOUT KEPT A
"1939 DEPRESSION" OR WORSE FROM HAPPENING according to accounts. That same TARP needs to be gotten rid of now that the primary emergency is past. Another new topic.
THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE BUSINESS HAPPENED THROUGH BILL CLINTON--WHO BY THE WAY IS REALLY A 'TEFLON' EX-PRESIDENT and escaped most of the blame for that LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT. We were duly instructed BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED that Clinton was intelligent and a Rhodes Scholar (MORE ELECTION RHETORIC)--they didn't tell us he flunked finances.
This blogger is attempting to point out just how much GARBAGE WE ARE FED DURING THE SILLY SEASON OF CAMPAIGNING. And that most of the politicians bank on the fact that we don't have time to CHECK THE FACTS OR STATISTICS that they SPOON FEED US!!!!!!!!!!
Obama and his wife are fond of implying that they know what a FAIR SHARE is and HOW WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER (at 2.8 million dollars EVIDENTLY SOME OF US ARE IN THIS MORE THAN OTHERS). THESE ARE WHAT THIS BLOGGER CALLS MEALY MOUTHING PHRASES used TO APPEAL TO THE "FAIR" IN EVERYONE.
IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT A MAJORITY OF FOLKS WANT TO SHOULDER THEIR 'FAIR' SHARE IN AMERICA AND APPEALS SUCH as THIS ARE AN 'EMOTIONAL' ATTEMPT TO SLANDER OTHERS AND CON THE REST. Some of our GREATEST CON ARTISTS are not in PRISON--they run for POLITICAL OFFICES. The old Kentuky Colonel character cartoons HARUMPING at election time and promising to put A SUNDAY CHICKEN IN EVERY POT (oh yes, FDR did that too!) was not far off the mark.
THIS BLOGGER HOPES WHEN YOU HEAR THE POLITICAL RHETORIC YOU WILL STOP AND CONSIDER THAT ADVICE FROM A FEW BLOGS BACK. CUT THE "TRUTH?" IN HALF, CUT IT IN HALF AGAIN AND MAYBE YOU CAN SWALLOW THE REST. It's not just STATISTICS THAT GET SKEWED DURING THE SILLY SEASON OF CAMPAIGNING. And remember if Romney were to send YOU $200,000. per month to help out, YOU'D THANK HIM PROFUSELY!!!!!!!!!! $200,000 A MONTH NOT A FAIR SHARE??? COME ON..........GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
FAIR SHARE??????????
VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S A FAIR SHAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, Connie
