Does media care about actual studies of who benefited from 01&03 tax cuts?
Who - which income group has the greatest benefits as a percentage of income that no longer goes to tax but is instead spent on overseas outsourcing -from reductions in personal income tax cuts of 01, 03?

Who benefits from the reductions in the personal income tax contained in the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts? According to data from the Tax Policy Center, a joint initiative of the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute, the reductions will be worth on average about 2.5 percent of income for all households in 2009 if the president gets his way and makes the tax cuts permanent.

The cuts, however, total 5.2 percent of income for households with adjusted gross income of $500,000 to $1 million and 6.2 percent of income for those households with adjusted gross income in excess of $1 million. How about the repeal of the estate tax? Fewer than one percent of estates pay any estate tax at all, and roughly two-thirds of the tax is paid by the wealthiest one percent of the income distribution.

Does the media care?

1. Not only do they not care...


They do not understand or care if we understand.

They are rich and that is all that matters.

Hey, did you hear about that shark attack ?

2. I wish...
these people had grown up the way I did... or close to way I did. Man, reality is a real kick-in-the-ass, and boy can it humble you.
