Hey, Oprah. Since you 'got political' two years ago, why don't you put your extended tax break money where your mouth is and start a $30 million dollar a year progressive PAC to fight President Obama's 'enemies.'

Pretty sure you can get by on $270+ million dollars a year.

1. Since you asked so nicely, she'd be smart to say forget it. nt

2. sorry- she had the tax break already, she HASN'T gotten
an extention on it yet.

I've not heard her say she thinks the tax-cuts should be extended have you?

Who are you to tell anyone to shut up?

4. Of all the people to attack on this, Why Oprah?
Please don't bother to attack the Koch Brothers or Rupert Murdock.

5. I'm sure she got a tax break, but how do you figure it to be 30 million?
If the bush tax cuts are extended, she will continue to pay 35 percent on her income above $375,000; if the tax cuts for the wealthy were allowed to expire, she would pay 39.5 percent. Assuming that she has $270 million in taxable income (and I have no idea if that number is accurate), her savings from the deal would be around $12 million. No small potatoes, but not $30 million. What am I missing?
