The Democrat propaganda machine is full-steam ahead.  On Thursday I am told that Joe Biden will make a speech, where I am sure he will get in his own digs about “fairness.”  But in the meantime, surrounding Obama’s speech, administration propagandists also went to bat for the Buffett Rule.

The Obama campaign took a direct swipe at Mitt Romney in a statement: "Mitt Romney opposes the Buffett Rule. He thinks millionaires and billionaires should keep paying lower tax rates than middle-class families. In fact, Romney himself isn't paying his fair share.”  Mitt Romney is paying the same tax rate on the same type of income that any other person in his position would be paying.  His tax burden for his latest tax returns is about 15%, which happens to coincide exactly with the average tax burden of the middle class.

Here’s the truth, and here’s your challenge.  I’ll first address – yet again – Obama’s lies concerning the rich and tax rates.  Then you see if you can call the show today, or make a comment here, that refutes – with facts – what I’m saying:

  1. Warren Buffet pays EXACTLY the same tax rate on capital gains as does his secretary.
  2. Warren Buffet pays EXACTLY the same income tax rate on the same earned income as does his secretary. 

This is in direct conflict with what Dear Ruler is preaching to the dumb-masses.  Now you see if you can show me where I’m wrong. 

When asked if the evil rich should be asked to pay more in taxes on a voluntary basis, chief propagandist Jay Carney says, “Gimmicks by super PACs funded by multi-millionaires who are advancing an agenda that would protect them from having to pay their fair share in taxes, protect them from having to pay a tax on their income at a rate similar to middle-class Americans, are not things that we take very seriously. And neither should the American people. We doubt that they will.”  The only gimmick here is Obama’s re-election campaign based on raising taxes on the evil rich, claiming that it will make our society more “fair.”  Even worse is the claim that this will somehow be beneficial for our economy.  Jay Carney says, “It’s a matter of simple fairness.”

David Axelrod is also out there pimping for the propagandist in chief.  He says, “"What's changed is, we had these massive tax cuts in the last decade that were skewed to the wealthy and it helped promote huge deficits . . . and the American people know that, and they know that they haven't benefitted nearly to the degree that people at the top did."  Axelrod is wrong.  The huge deficits are a product of George Bush doubling the size of the federal government, and then Obama exponentially adding to that spending.  The Bush tax cuts for the evil rich represent just 4 percent of projected deficits.

How many more months of this wealth envy campaign do we have to stomach?
