   How much lower can Early Start/Starting Point go? Maybe they are getting stimulus money so don’t need to have an audience.

   @Faith3
   d.d,

   People who don’t work don’t get the refunds. The purpose of the refunds are to offset certain incomes that would end up paying more toward taxes as a percentage of gross income.

   —————
   I said :
   Don’t forget, even ”IF” working, 45% don’t owe U.S. income tax & many Americans today look to the IRS as a source of income because of the $100 billion in refundable tax credits paid out each year.

   I’m aware you must be working to receive a tax credit.

   DOJ Inspector General’s Report. Local AFT To Blame For Fast And Furious. Local ATF Says Higher Ups Knew

   Documents released during the course of the investigation show the head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, Lanny Breuer, learned that ATF had let guns walk –even as the Justice Department was denying that had ever happened. When those documents were made public last November, Breuer issued a statement saying he regretted not alerting others in Justice Department leadership. Breuer also signed off on the Fast and Furious
   wiretaps.

   THE PRE-CONVENTION coverage between FOX,NBC & CNN
   has been facinating…pretty much like the “Good, Bad & the ugly”!
   FOX is sharp, poised and focused against what looks like the end of
   a broadcast era from the past in it’s final death convulsion.

   By the way…..

   WOW No surprise that Obama spells Ohio “OIHO”!

   This from a man who pronounces “CORP” as “CORPSE”
   and thinks he has campaigned in 57 states.

   OIHO along with New Hampster, Nevaduh and Virginya
   will all be going Republican.

   It’s obvious his college professors didn’t spend a lot of
   time with foreign students on spelling and vocabulary.

    Hannity got the highest ratings of the day, both in P2+ and A25-54. O’Reilly won’t be too happy, even if it was on a Friday.

    @d.d.: “If you want to be totally honest , don’t overlook those that are NOT WORKING.”
    ____________________________________________

    I was overlooking them because they had no relation to the numbers that the Rodent was using to make his phony argument. Those numbers were based on people that are actually working and earning an income. This factor is significant, because he was essentially trying to imply that those people are somehow freeloaders, or leeches, when the real implications of that 50% number are far more significant: It implies that nearly half of all WORKING, WAGE-EARNING people are earning so little annually that they’re in a tax bracket low enough to bring their income tax rate to near 0%.

    You might also note that, based on the chart, it’s not as if the number has been historically low, and just recently jumped up; Obviously there was a spike during the recession, as a lot of people lost their jobs and had to take lower wage jobs, or take a pay cut. However, even when the economy was good, you see that between 34% and 40% of income earners were still in that lowest bracket, seeing little-to-no inflation adjusted income growth for nearly three decades. Given that fact, and the fact that real GDP growth over the same period was still large, as was real corporate profit growth, it begs the question – Where the hell is the trickle down? If the Rodent is so concerned about the “freeloaders” who have the good fortune to earn so little from their jobs that they’re barely worth taxing, maybe a good start is having some real effing wage growth.

    Seems many artists reject the right wing social extremist, and their agenda.

    Rep. Paul D. Ryan has become well tired of The Man sticking it to the little guy. So no surprise his budding vice presidential campaign liked to crank “We’re Not Gonna Take It” at his campaign events.

    But in a repeat of many campaign moments past, the hard rockers who created the song don’t think much of the buttoned-down politician with the conservative social agenda who was trying to get mileage out of it.

    Twisted Sister asked the Ryan campaign Wednesday to cease and desist playing its fed-up anthem. The Republican’s campaign immediately said it would comply. The Associated Press said the Ryan camp emailed: “We’re Not Gonna Play It anymore.”

    Chris Matthews wasn’t satisfied being put down by Priebus. He just went up against Newt. Matthews was incoherent. To both Preibus and Newt, he made a comment to the effect—you are loosing or you think you won. They really need to pull him and send him home. The guy needs help!

    Newt Takes it to Chris Matthews on His ‘Racist Thinking’

    Chris Matthews, on Monday’s Hardball, attacked Newt Gingrich with the same old liberal line about the GOP using racial code words, from Mitt Romney talking about welfare reform to Gingrich calling Barack Obama the “food stamp president.” However, the former Speaker of the House wasn’t having any of it, as he hit back: “Why do you assume food stamp refers to black? What kind of racist thinking do you have? Wait a second! Why aren’t you being a racist because you assume it refers to black?”
