To The Contrary

A recent poll shows that 50% of Americans now believe that Saddam Hussein had WMD, which is up from a low of 36%. The pollster can’t figure out why the change in light of “all the news reports to the contrary.”

Here’s a clue: Saddam did indeed have WMD. The poll should show 100%, but some people have a political motivation for ignoring facts. Either that or they lack the intellectual capacity to see through Leftist propaganda.

It turns out that those “news reports to the contrary” were wrong. Many of us have known this all along. But we don’t think they were “wrong” but that they were lies deliberately used to discredit the Bush administration. That’s it.

What does this say about the Bush naysayers? It says that they’re all wet, they’re full of it, they are the discredited ones.

People like Kerry, Michael Moore, Joe Wilson and the throngs of fanatical pacifists couldn’t convince enough people to oppose the war on practical grounds, so they resorted to lies and false accusations.

This tactic is commonly used by liberals on just about every issue. If you’re against affirmative action, you’re a racist; if you support tax cuts, you’re a greedy rich snob; if you support the war, you’re a hate-filled war-monger. You get the idea.

Once again, the “Bush Lied” crowd has demonstrated that the “Liar” tag solely belongs to them.

LIARS

Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame have been totally discredited. But that’s not where it ends. The exposure of their fraud has also discredited the entire "Bush-Lied" Left.

I’m not talking about people who disagree with the Administration’s the war policy or its position on other issues, reasonable people can disagree. I’m talking about the hysterical "Bush-Lied" crowd; the Cindy Sheehans, Michael Moores, and even elected officials like John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and DNC chairperson Howard Dean.

These are paranoid, fanatical 1960’s retreads who have failed to learn from the past and who use demagoguery to attack the president in an unproductive and even treasonous way, in many cases. Their utter unreasoned hatred of Bush has led them to actually side with our enemies, or at least aid and abet them.

What the Wilson/Plame episode should teach us is to NEVER listen to these lunatics again. Too many Americans seem to get their political opinions from TV comedians, Liberal media outlets and hysterical Bush-Haters. But they have been utterly discredited by the exposure of the fraud of Joe Wilson and his cheerleaders in the media.

It’s time to cover the "Bush" part of your "Bush Lied" bumper-stickers with "Wilson"…

Also, Scooter Libby has been vindicated and should get his job back!

How our tax system works...


(Frome an e-mail I got: I don't know the author)


How our Tax System works when taxes are reduced: Is it only a tax cut for the rich? Try to understand the real world economics of a tax cut. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner and the bill for all comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this.

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
Ø The fifth would pay $1
Ø The sixth would pay $3.
Ø The seventh would pay $7.
Ø The eighth would pay $12
Ø The ninth would pay $18.
Ø The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So that's what they decided to do.

The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant everyday and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day the owner threw them a curve. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20." Dinner for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes, so the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to eat their meal. So, the restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:
Ø The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
Ø The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).
Ø The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).
Ø The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
Ø The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
Ø The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, "but he got $10!"
"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too; it's unfair that he got ten times more than me."
"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"
"Wait a minute" yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!"
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up!

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill. And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our
tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore, in fact they might start eating overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
