This disclosure comes from CNN? When did They wake up? http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_081111/content/01...
“President Obama and many of his fellow Democrats continue to call for higher taxes on the wealthy, and, according to the results of a CNN/ORC International Poll released yesterday, many Americans agree that’s the only way the country can dig itself out of its current economic mess. About 63% of the 1,008 people interviewed over the phone said they think that the new bipartisan committee should raise taxes on higher income Americans and businesses. But, asks CNN, just how many of these rich people are there?” Now, you people know this, as regular listeners here. Not only do you know how many of them there are who earn over ten million a year (a little over 8,000), you know what their combined total tax payments are.

Dumbass government retards.
But reality and facts don't figure in for democrats. They just make it all up as they go and blame all the problems on Bush!
Having zero votes until the mid term election makes them the perfect scapegoat.
How can we spin this so we don't show we can't even tell a decent lie? Call CNN and PMSNBC and get their best BS artist on it now!
Dudes! We are totally screwed! We gotta tell somebody about this thing pronto! Oh man I am so high!
I think this is a FLUKE.......

And you wonder why you were impeached. Silly rabbit!
"Just how many of these rich people are there, and, are there enough of them for a tax increase to really make a dent for the US trillions of dollars in debt. President Obama has defined the nation's wealthy as those who make $200,000 or more. According to a recent report from the IRS, that leaves out about 97% of the taxpaying population." Well, shazam! So they're accurate here: 3% is who we're talking about. "A report which provides a complete breakdown and analysis from returns from the 2009 tax year found that only a mere 3% of tax returns were filed by people earning a gross adjusted income of 200 grand or more. Americans earning $1 million or more were even more rare, pricing just two-tenths of 1% of the population, of tax filers, accounting for a mere 236,000 of the 140 million tax returns received in 2009."
So the number of millionaires filing taxes -- uh, people that earn more than a million dollars, 236,000 -- compared to 140 million tax returns received in 2009. "The wealthiest taxpayers, those earning $10 million or more in adjusted gross income are even less prevalent. There were only 8,274 people belonging to that elite club, according to the IRS." CNN gets it right here. They're a week behind, but they got it right. "Yet, even though ...
$200,000 or more = 3% earners
$1 million or more = 236,000 earners
$10 million or more = 8,274 earners
Boosted revenue = $75 billion a year / $750 ten years
Expenditures FY 2011 = $3.82 trillion
Revenue FY 2011 = $2.17 trillion
($3.82 trillion - $2.92 trillion = $900 billion Deficit Spending.)
?????????
It is a two or three word cranium pick for lefty losers. Kind of like a pooper scooper.
That's more than most libs can do.
