ect: Bush Tax Cuts Explained in Beer

Seems whenever the politicians get the bill for their wild-ass spending (buying votes) they start this class warfare argument that the "rich" need to pay for what they have spent.  When I hear this "logic" repeated in the local saloon, by people that really buy into this notion that the government needs to be Robin Hood and take away all the money from these evil rich folks, it makes me ill.  The top 10% of wage earners already pay 80% of all the income tax collected.  How much more do you want them to do?  Maybe this will explain to them exactly what the old Bush Tax cuts did ....
THE TAX SYSTEM EXPLAINED IN BEER

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100...

If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7..
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do..

The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffect ed. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men ? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?


They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.

So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.

And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% saving).
The seventh now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% saving).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% saving).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% saving).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% saving).

Each of t he six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings.

"I only got a dollar out of the $20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,"but he got $10!"

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!"

"That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back, when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!"

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half o f the bill!
And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore.  In fact, they might start drinking overseas,  as many are considering, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible .

Subject: ER Doctor's Letter To The Editor

I think this M.D. has hit the nail on the head with his observation.

Doctor's letter to the editor

Many wish this was an article on the front page of every newspaper in America ---
I know that there are similar incidents in the ER of all hospitals......

This letter appeared in the Jackson , Mississippi Clarion-Ledger dated August 23rd

Dear Sirs:

During my last night's shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with a shiny new gold tooth, pierced tongue, multiple elaborate tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.

Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid.

She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.

And our president expects me to pay for this woman's health care? Our nation's health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture - a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on pleasures and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. A culture that thinks "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me."

WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY
Don't forget to mark your calendars. As you
may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than
his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM
Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house
completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your
block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All
patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their
house to prove they are not Muslims and to demonstrate they think its okay
to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all
American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack
at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American
government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your
participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
God bless America !
It is your patriotic duty to pass this on.
If you don't send this to at least 5 people, you're a
terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are in the position of
posing as a national threat.

Jeff Gordon fires his entire pit crew

This announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of the
government's scheme to employ Harlem youngsters.

The decision to hire them was brought about by a recent documentary on
how
unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in
less
than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew
could only do it in 8 seconds with millions of dollars worth of high
tech
equipment. It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's
management team as most races are won or lost in the pits.
However-Gordon
got more than he bargained for!

At the crew's first practice session, not only was the inexperienced
crew
able to change all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds
they
had re-sprayed, re-numbered, and sold the car to Dale Jr. for 10 cases
of
Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.

Drinking with a Redneck Girl

A Mexican, an Arab, and a redneck girl are in the same bar.

When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air,pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In Mexico , our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink with the same one twice.'

The Arab, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws it into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In the Arab World, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink with the same one twice either.'

The redneck girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, throws th e glass into the air, whips out her 45, and shoots the Mexican and the Arab. Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and calling for a refill, she says,

'In America we have so many illegal aliens that we don't have to drink with the same ones twice.'

"I just discovered your site, I can't believe you don't have this one, it's a jewel! The assertions at the end are hilarious!
