Cool Understanding Democrats' Version of Tax Cuts

If you don't understand the Democrats' version of tax cuts (and you are not alone), this will explain it for you:


50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due. The team was about to send out refunds when the Democrats stopped them, and suggested that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrats' interpretation of fairness. After all, if the refunds were made based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the richest people. That would be unconscionable. The Democrats' plan says:

People in the $10 seats will get back $15, because they have less money to spend.

People in the $15 seats will get back $15, because that's only fair.

People in the $25 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund.

People in the $50 luxury seats will have to pay another $50, because they have way too much to spend.

The people driving by the stadium who couldn't afford to watch the game will get $10 each, even though they didn't pay anything in, because they need the most help.

Now do you understand?

Dont forget that they'll take whatever is left to build a needed "child care facility" because its all about the children even though its totally uneeded.

Well, i don't know about individual parts of California, but in the big picture of things, overall, Califonia and New York are the breeding grounds of Liberalism. What other state has C.A.R.B programs that almost make it illegal to put performance spark plugs in your car!!

Republicans version

If you don't understand the Republicans version of tax cuts (and you are not alone), this will explain it for you:


50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due. The team was about to send out refunds when the Republicans stopped them, and suggested that they send out refund amounts based on the Republicans interpretation of fairness. After all, if the refunds were made based on the price each person paid for the tickets, most of the money would go to the richest people. The Republicans plan says:

People in the $10 seats will get back $0, but a promise of $3 the second hell freezes over.

People in the $15 seats will get back $1, because they have no representation and it will cost $25 to challenge the $1 refund.

People in the $25 seats will get back $10, because they have no representation, yet Republicans rely on the upper middle class so they have to give them something.

People in the $50 luxury seats will get $75 back, 1000 stock options, plus a few perks on the side, because thats how you take care of your backers.

The people driving by the stadium who couldn't afford to watch the game will get arrested and fined $10 each, even though they didn't pay anything, because they looked suspicious.

Now do you understand?

Typical Democrat thinking... when you don't like the facts, distort them and call it the truth.

Fact: Clinton got into office and raised taxes (my taxes went up)

Fact: Bush got into office and my taxes went down.

Fact: My household has 2 incomes that total less than $50,000 yr, therefore, only Democrats consider me "The Rich". (Remember Democrats only raise taxes on the rich).

Actually, it is a fact that Clinton raised my taxes and Bush lowered them. Hardly an opinion.
