A lot of expenditures pretend to be tax cuts. If you look at the CBO figures for federal income tax in 2007, you discover that, on average, the bottom 40% of the income distribution not only does not pay federal income tax, it is paid federal income tax—a federal welfare program in the form of tax credits. And since these are 2007 figures, it is Bush’s federal welfare program, not Obama’s. Ideas: What the Tea Party Gets Wrong.

Tea Party Nation’s Anti-Gay Campaign Continues, Group Likens Gays To Drug Addicts Submitted by Brian Tashman on June 27, 2011 – 10:17am On Friday we reported on the anti-gay diatribe by Tea Party Nation’s Alan Caruba, who asserted that “the queering of America” is “one more factor in the destruction of America.” The tea party group is now pushing another attack on gays and lesbians, this time from Rich Swier, an activist with TPN and the anti-Muslim group ACT! For America, who previously warned that the U.S. is facing white “extinction.” In a post sent to TPN members, Swier rails against a Florida group that introduced an anti-bullying initiative, arguing that being gay is just like being a drug addict and that the bullying of LGBT youth is a “sham,” because “this is not bullying. It is peer pressure and is healthy”: via Tea Party Nation’s Anti-Gay Campaign Continues, Group Likens Gays To Drug Addicts | Right Wing Watch.
The Right’s Favorite Historian: Founding Fathers Opposed Darwin — By Tim Murphy | Thu Jun. 9, 2011 5:43 AM PDT Courtesy of United States Senate, Wikimedia Commons Talk to a prominent social conservative these day and the odds are pretty good that he or she is a fan of David Barton. Perhaps more than any other person, the Texas-based amateur historian has provided grist for the idea of American Exceptionalism—the argument that America’s unique success in the world is divinely caused and due to its committment to core Judeo-Christian principles. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, the tea party champion and likely 2012 presidential contender, invited him to teach members of Congress about the Constitution; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says he learns something new every time he listens to Barton. He’s a pretty influential guy. So what, exactly, does he teach? On Wednesday, Right Wing Watch flagged a recent interview Barton gave with an evangelcial talk show, in which he argues that the Founding Fathers had explicitly rejected Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.* Yes, that Darwin. The one whose seminal work, On the Origin of Species, wasn’t even published until 1859. Barton declared, “As far as the Founding Fathers were [...] So let’s see: we slash funding for the EPA, forbid them to regulate health-danger pollutants and give British Petroleum a tax credit to cover their costs involved in cleaning up their spill, leaving you and me out the money we spent cleaning up the rest of their spill and Nan Hayworth thinks this is all fine and dandy. (And voted to continue another $4 BILLION in subsidies to the oil companies!) Would someone please shoot me? They say that if you’re dreaming when you die you wake up and I can only hope this is a bad, bad dream. For if this is the state of America today we are seriously f*cked. [...] The fanatical pursuit by Republicans to dismantle protections our Government provides will leave us all at greater risk. One simple-minded pursuit is the thoughtless desire to disband or severely cut-back the Environmental Protection Agency. The … [...] |

The State of America through European eyes : a “Billionaires’ Coup” and U.S. is no longer a “Western” nation
“Partly as a result of the Bush tax cuts of 2001, 2003 and 2005 (shamefully extended by Barack Obama), taxation of the wealthy, in Obama’s words, “is at its lowest level in half a century.” The consequence of such regressive policies is a level of inequality unknown in other developed nations. As the Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz points out, in the past 10 years the income of the top 1% has risen by 18%, while that of blue-collar male workers has fallen by 12%.”
