These are some of todays lowest political moments:
- 28 % of all giving is given by the top 2% of
income earners. However, the Obama administration wants to cut out the
deduction for charitable giving for these donors. Treasury Secretary Geithner
says that he can think of no better way to improve charitable giving than to
stimulate the economy. Of course the problem with that thinking is the money
comes from the same taxpayers that they claim to be helping.
- Union bosses for the AFL-CIO meet in a $400.00 a
night hotel for their meeting about taking away worker's rights. That means
that they are using union dues to pay for the same type of extravagant accommodations
for which they have repeatedly chastised CEOs.
- Congress wants to spend Millions of taxpayer
dollars on tattoo removal for gang members and for keeping the stink of pig
waste down.
