Tax system explained

Subject: Bar Stool Economics

Suppose that every day,ten men go out for a 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 $1.00

The sixth would pay $3.00

The seventh would pay $7.00

The eighth would pay $12.00

The ninth would pay $18.00

The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.00

So that's what they decided to do. The men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with arraignment,until one day,the owner threw them a curve.

"Since you are all such good customers,he said,I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.00.

"Drinks for the ten men now cost just $80.00

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers?How could they divide the $ 20 windfall so that everyone would get there "fair share?" They realized that $ 20.00 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 roughly the same amount,and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay!

And so:

The fifth man like the first four,now paid nothing ( 100% savings).

The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings).

The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings).

The eighth now paid $9 instead of 12 (25% savings).

The ninth now paid 14 instead of 18 (22% savings).

The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

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

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

"Yeah,that's right,shouted the seventh man. "why should he get $10 back when I got only two?The wealthy get all the breaks!"

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in union. " We didn't get anything at all. The 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 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 of the bill!

And that,boys and girls,journalist and college professors,is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes 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 where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

For those who understand,no explanation is needed.

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

" I will stand with the Muslim's should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." ------Barack Hussein Obama

Lie, must be drunk.

This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of "Muslims":

In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

What a 'tard you are, Ragin Rebel. Even "Muslim's" has an incorrect apostrophe.

Gutless idiot!
