Tea partier on MSNBC.

[white_wolf]

Why do we give these assholes air time? I'm waiting for him to start screaming Socialism and Communism. Oh and can someone help me refute his lie that the top 10% pay 70% of all taxes. Oh, I wonder if the so called liberal media of MSNBC would allow a member of the Socialist party air time to give a reaction?

[Robbins]

1. MSNBC

I Immedetly turned It off when they had that.They sure didn't give a Democrat after speech time alone.

Why not go back to panel they had before speech.

[fugop]

2. NO kidding

I turned it on to see what the panel said and got stuck with Chuck Todd blithering on like an idiot. I gave up.

[WCGreen]

3. he is a fucking wanker isn't he....

God what a waste of a cheap suit...

[lob1]

4. The rich pay more taxes because they make way more money.

What a stupid argument.

[Robbins]

8. The Rich

they are doing great.The middle class and poor are hurting.The media let's the lie the wealthy are paying more taxes so taxes are too high.

And also notice republicans are trying to say they In the congress In the 1990's were responable for the good economy.Clinton did
nothing.

13. The top 5% own 60% of

all the wealth in the country and should pay that portion of the taxes.

[LibertyLover]

21. I think they should pay what they would have paid during the

Eisenhower administration, who was, you remember, a Republican - 92%.

[upi402]

5. They are the mouthpieces of the corporatocracy

and the media is the organ of that propaganda.

It's the root problem causing fascism here.
There's a word for that, and law too.

[Ian David]

6. MSNBC should just find this guy and use him as a spokesman for the Teabaggers...

[flamingdem]

7. Tamryn handled him well and pointed out his over the top rhetoric nt

[Webster Green]

9. Teabagger.

There is no Tea Party. Teabaggers are just extra-crazy rethuglicans.

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Look at Tables 5 and 6 and you will see the top 10% pays about 70% of taxes AND they make about 75%

of the wealth.

[socialist_n_TN]

18. Then it sounds like they should pay at LEAST......

75% of the taxes, n'est pas?

[sinkingfeeling]

20. Oui, oui!

[Pryderi]

11. I turned it off. I was hoping for Rachel or someone sane at least.

[zbdent]

12. I think it was part of the deal MSRNC made ...

for every 1 critic of Bush they had on 2000-2009, they had to have 100 RWers on ...

[wndycty]

14. He said that Texas has a surplus. . .isn;t that a lie?

:kick:

[Ishoutandscream2]

15. He said that? What a fucking idiot!!

It's common knowledge we're in the hole. What a fool!

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. Hey, "tea party!" I fart in your general direction! Damn Kochroaches!

[Taverner]

17. Teabaggers are the "useful idiots" V I Lennin spoke of

And these idiots belong to the Regressive Party

[bulloney]

19. I don't know what proportion of taxes the richest 10% pay, but they receive the lion's share

of the money in this country. I believe I saw on Thom Hartmann that from 1980-2005, 80% of the wealth in this country went to the richest 1%. Next time a teabagger cries poverty on behalf of the elite, ask that person if he thinks the richest 1% or 10% should only pay 1% or 10% of the taxes when they're receiving a much higher proportion of the income.

I hear that canard thrown out on RW radio all the time. Apparently they think the Kochs, Waltons, et al should be taxed at a lower rate than they already are? Even though people like Warren Buffett have said that he pays a smaller percentage of his income than his secretary?
