Oprah got a 30 million dollar per year extended tax break this week. |

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.

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?
