Only on Faux. "Repeal of the Death Tax will benefit the poor"

[maxrandb]

I am not sh$#%ing you. That was the actual crawl at the bottom of the screen when I happened across some show called "Forbes on Faux" this morning. I thought maybe I was just seeing things because I hadn't had my morning coffee yet, but sure enough, "Repeal of the Death Tax will benefit the poor" was flashing across my screen..bigger than Sh$#!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by what I see on Faux, but I've noticed lately that they are getting more and more desperate in their spin. It's like they're in their "last throes", and they need to pull as much shit out of their ass that they can. They've even dragged out some old guy who they identify as Faux Chief Editor. Guy looks like the guy in the Hannibal Lechter flick that is trying to have Lechter eaten alive by wild pigs.

1. thanks for the info, I turned faux snooz off years ago, in fact as soon

as I figured how to do it.

2. Benefit the poor by ensuring the genetic advantage of rich people?

Or something?

[RaleighNCDUer]

16. Well, it's self evident, isn't it?

The more money that is held by the richest 5%, the more there will be to trickle down to the undeserving lazy poor.

Right?

[OnionPatch]

3. It's probably that lame, old trickle down theory

Which has proven to be a big load of shit. Some dumbasses out there still believe it. :eyes:

[gatorboy]

5. Oh, yes. Reagan's wonderful trickle down theory.

Where you put your faith in the rich to disperse their wealth down to the poor. And that has been a success... When exactly?

[Flubadubya]

4. The "old guy" was probably Steve Forbes himself...

that superantiquated,gerbil-faced old mummy just won't ever shut up, and yes, he claims everything that the rich do to aggrandize themselves ultimately helps the poor. What a crock!

He is a deluded, sick, old bastard. Check out this little "bio" on the guy:

12. My brother met his dad.

Said that he was a real normal, nice, friendly bike-riding kind of New Jersey guy.

Mal must be spinning in his grave like an Iranian centrafuge over that waste of a son.

6. The crumbs the poor get...

will be much larger. 10mm across instead of 5.

7. Up is down, liberals are Nazis

What's sad is all the poor fundie folk that believe this crap.

[flordehinojos]

8. just also like it is, "an act of war", for three desperate guantanamo

prisoners to put an end to their own lives after three years of being held there with no chages against them, no witnessess against them, and no attorneys to hear or represent them.

there used to be a television program years ago...it had to do with strange (maybe supernatural kindsof things) happening...well, we are living in a temporal but very strange bush world.

this bush world should be named after that television program (if only i could remember its name).

[Toots]

9. I think, I think, I think I'm being trickled on..

Yes I'm almost sure I am...:shrug: Just think there are those that actually believe this crap even when all evidence says different.

10. FOX AKA Minitrue

FOX NEWS ALERT: Ignorance is Strength, War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery.

[DBoon]

11. the poor get the most entertainment from Paris Hilton's antics?

[warrens]

13. What's their "logic"?

That's fucking nuts. But remember, committing suicide is an act of war!

[maxrandb]

17. Logic was

that more jobs would be "created", and that charitable giving would increase, because the rich would take that money and give it to the Salvation Army or something like that.

Dems need to start calling this the "Paris Hilton Tax". Let's play their little semantics game with them.

Like Paris says; "that's hot!"

[peekaloo]

14. Yes. It will benefit those poor families of billionaires who have spent

over $200 million dollars lobbying the issue.

"poor" is a relative term. }(

[louis-t]

15. Archie Bunker called it "Tinkle Down"

How appropriate.

[rustydog]

18. If the tax is to be aptly "named" it should be called:

The tax on the millions and billions of dollars (INSTANT INCOME) passed onto non-working filthy rich Bushites.

It is not a death tax. it is a tax on the living. an INSTANT INCOME TAX on those who wake up to find out great grandpa died and left them 10 million bucks, not for great work but simply because grandma squeezed out daddy or mommy and you are blood-relation.

[maxrandb]

19. I like calling it the "Paris Hilton Tax"

When you get right down to it. This tax was implimented at the start of World War I when Americans actually believed in sacrifice for the betterment of all mankind.

Teddy Roosevelt pushed for this tax because he believed that those that had prospered most from the freedoms provided by America, should be asked to pay a little more.

How we can be at war, and still be discussing tax-cuts is just hard for me to put my "arms around". During past wars, when freedom really was at risk, Americans shared sacrifices to ensure our way of life, and the way of life for our children's children.

FDR told us; "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself!"

Churchill told us; "So let us bear ourselves, and brace ourselves to our duty, so that if England and it's commonwealth should last a thousand years...men will still say; 'this was their finest hour'"

Bush told us; "go frickin shopping"
