It's Not Class Warfare, It's Math
— andy

Famous last words of a SCOAMF:

But last week, we had a separate vote on a part of the jobs bill that would put 400,000 teachers, firefighters and police officers back on the job, paid for by asking people who make more than $1 million to pay one-half of 1 percent in additional taxes. For somebody making $1.1 million a year, thatÂ’s an extra $500. Five hundred bucks. And with that, we could have saved 400,000 jobs.

Most people making more than $1 million, if you talk to them, theyÂ’ll say, IÂ’m willing to pay $500 extra to help the county. TheyÂ’re patriots. They believe weÂ’re all in this thing together. But all the Republicans in the Senate said no. (Emphasis added).

Occidental? Columbia? Hah-vahd?

To which one of these fine institutions of higher learning do we owe our gratitude for foisting upon the nation a stuttering clustef*ck of a math failure? Or maybe we should spread the wealth and just blame them all, along with his typical white bank vice-president grandmother.

With apologies for the "no math" rule here at the HQ: $1,100,000 x 0.5% = $5,500*

$5,500. Not $500. But what's an order of magnitude between friends now that trillion is the new billion?

But it gets worse:

But even if the president meant to say $5,500, his math continues to pose some challenges. According to the IRS, a total of 235,413 taxpayers earned more than $1 million last year. If each “was willing to pay $[5,]500 extra to help the country,” that would generate only $1.3 billion in revenue — approximately what the federal government spends every three hours. Wouldn’t it be just as patriotic for President Obama to turn off the federal spigot for three hours and dedicate the savings to funding those 400,000 jobs?

... not to mention all the rapes that would be prevented.

Speaking of which, it looks like ol' Slow Joe had the same talking point. If he'd have given them enough detail, I'm sure one of the 4th graders would've called him on it.

* Update: It could be that the half-percent tax only applies to the amount in excess of $1 million, so the $500 in his example would be right (yet still disingenuous). It just exacerbates the second point in that we're not talking about a whole lot of dough here in comparison to what the government spends.

5 I don't have a calculator with me, but it appears he's saying that the 400000 newly hired would each work for about $3k/year.  Barack, please go back to your desk and redo the problem, and this time show your work.

So, no, you can't nuance him out of *that* part of it, anyway. It gets worse, if you break down the number of people who make such an income, BTW the average income for the "1%" top income earners - that's 1% of reported income earners, not population - is 1.1 million.

185 The objectives of the bill: 1) Establish a new millionaires surtax that would begin in 2012 and never sunset (see section 59B of the bill): 2) Front-end load the payouts to the teachers and first responders so that more than $21.5B (61%) of the $35B total is paid out in FY 2012 - 2013, which just so happens to cover the election year. 3) Send 86% of the money to the education lobby The bill would have added $10.4B to the deficit in FY2012 (the current FY ending Sept 30, 2012) and another $5.2B in deficit spending in FY2013. My guess is that they get to the 400K jobs number by "saving" some jobs by supplementing teacher pay after a system cuts pay by say, 10%, but counting all the teachers getting the supplemental pay as jobs saved.

And, no, I have a pristine, but 10-year-old Jeep.  I, and tens of thousands of other working stiffs, probably burned enough gas to power a medium-sized city for a year this morning.  They barricaded every entrance to Century City, with no warning.  Of course, they can't give any warning because he is so beloved people might swarm to the location to blow kisses at him.  Or something.

217 Why doesn't he use some of our money that he gives to terrorist murderers. From Commentary: "the Palestinian Authority has also decreed that it will be paying every one of the murderers a separate honorarium though the amount was not specified. That PA leader Mahmoud Abbas, the man that is supposed to be IsraelÂ’s peace partner, will pay this cash reward for murder, is an irony that is lost on an Obama administration that continues to urge the Jewish state to make concessions to the PA. This is of more than passing interest to American readers since hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds are transferred to the Palestinian Authority every year."

221 From IBD and clearly not from a Perry fan, Bold Colors and (Mitt's) Pale Pastels

The "entire tax code is in dire need of fundamental overhaul," it says, then explains how Romney isn't going to break a sweat trying to reform it: "In the long run, Mitt Romney will pursue a conservative overhaul of the tax system that includes lower and flatter rates on a broader tax bases."

This leaves us wondering how long that "long run" might be and why we should trust him to produce "conservative" reform if he can't be specific about it now.

Details in the plan are scarce. There's a cut in corporate tax rates to 25%, the elimination of the death tax, a maintenance (instead of a cut) of current income-tax rates and a move from global to territorial taxation of corporate profits (that is, U.S. companies would not pay U.S. taxes on profits earned abroad).

One other specific proposal — to eliminate capital-gains and dividend taxes only for those with incomes under $200,000 — could have come from the Obama White House.

All this looks like the thinking of a candidate who believes he has already won his party's nomination and is trying to stay "electable" after that

233 Not to start a fight at this time of night but I just re-watched a Frontline special that I had watched last year. I couldn't remember the details but remembered that Perry had been a part of it.

Anyone here familiar with the Todd Willingham case?

Frontline showed two sides to the case but the conclusion was that the guy was innocent and that Perry had dismissed the panel which proved it.

It could be complete bullshit, but it only takes a little bit of bullshit for folks to start questioning it.
