Uh Oh, Joe Scarborough Is A Communist Now
What even the fuck, "Joe" Scarborough? We thought we could count on you to be our sexy douchey conservadaddy (shut up wonkers), and it turns out you are just another emoprog #Occupy communist pansy whining about income inequality and Warren Buffett's secretary's tax rate. First you came to take all our guns and put them in gun jail, then you called Sean Hannity a racist vulture douche (direct quote, we think), and now THIS?
Then you look at what doesn't make sense to I guess 95% of Americans? That the richest Americans, the richest Americans are paying 14, 15, 16% tax rates.
While the secretaries are paying twice that much. Why we don't have a minimum tax rate of 30% is beyond me. And I say that especially because of all the billionaires and gazillionaires. If you're not getting a paycheck across your desk, chances are good you're figuring how to pay 16%, 17%. That is obscene. It's wrong and Americans, 95% of Americans think that's wrong. And then the same thing with the off shore accounts. You know? My feeling if people want to move their people offshore, they need to move offshore with their money. Seriously. If they want to shield their money from taxes and go offshore, you're not welcome in the United States of America. Follow your damn money.
Just stop right there, you un-American pussy. No, really, stop, or that nice toddler Ben Shapiro will never be able to catch up with you on his little rubber baby legs, and put you UNDER ARREST.
We will not bother transmitting Shapiro's SNAP/YA BURNT response to Scarborough, because it is boring and his numbers are stupid. Okay just one: did you know that "the 40% of Americans with the highest income paid 106% of the total income tax burden"? It's true. 106 percent. ONE HUNDRED. AND SIX. PERCENT.
We are sure this is an absolutely true statement, and we are just too public-schooled and XXed to understand basic math, or as we like to call it, "man words but with those letters that are like letters but different but sometimes there are letters too."

Jesus H Fuck, this argument is, among other things, completely wrong. It is possible to make a rational argument that corporate <i>dividends</i> should be taxed at a lower rate because the corporate earnings from which they come have already been taxed (the counter-argument is, of course, that mostly those corporate earnings <i>haven&#039;t</i> really been taxed).
But <i>capital gains</i> have no direct connection corporate taxation, or corporate income. Capital gains just mean that you hit the good numbers at the <strike>casino</strike> financial market. Making a statement like &quot;...capital gains, which has already been taxed as corporate income&quot; displays a level of ignorance of how financial markets work that deserves prolonged mockery, and should permanently disqualify the person making the statement from being taken seriously about any financial matters more complicated than calculating a tip.
Everyone thinks Steve Jobs was such a genius for selling cool products. He made incredible profits, shielded them from taxation, and then was too stupid to have the operation that could have saved his life.
