Newt Gingrich has a scare article out at Human Events about how much those "liberal taxers" are planning on raising YOUR taxes. To do this, he uses funny numbers to lie to anybody stupid enough to not understand logic and math.
You Know You're Going to Pay More Under the Liberal Tax Increase When ...
... You're a family of four earning $60,000 a year: Your income-tax bill will rise 61% in 2011, from $3,030 to $4,893.
... You're an elderly couple earning $40,000 a year: Your taxes will go up by 156% in 2011, from $583 to $1,489.
... You're a woman: You could be one of the 83 million American women who could see their taxes rise by an average of $2,068.
... You're married: You could be one of the 48 million married couples who will pay an average of $2,899 more under the liberal tax increase.
... You have kids: 42 million families with children will pay an average of $2,181 more in taxes.
... You're a small-business owner: 26 million small-business owners will get a tax bill for an average of $3,960 more than before.
Which one are you?
First let me get to the easiest part. Averages are a funny thing. Let's say Bill Gates' taxes get raised $500,000,000 a year. 4,000,000 people get a tax break of $100 a year. On average, everybody's taxes went up $25. It is an outrage! Whenever a Republican throws an average tax rate figure at you, know that this is what they are doing. Average means it doesn't really affect you greatly if you are working class so we want to fool you into fighting a tax break for our corporate masters who are working against your interests. We think you are dumb enough to go along with it.
If democrats were really going to hit Joe Six Pack who has 3 kids with a tax hike of $3,500, the Republicans would scream about it from the roof tops with those specific numbers. When they start using averages, it means that taxes on the super wealthy are rising, and in order to make people unaffected by it outraged, they average Bill Gates, Paris Hilton, and Oprah in with you who aren't getting taxed, as an average so you get offended by those people messing with your paycheck. For all you know, you could be getting a tax break. Newt would never tell you that.
Secondly, projecting numbers way out into the future is typically pointless because things change. Whatever the democrats plan today, or Bush planned yesterday can be quickly countermanded by facts on the ground, or changes in leadership. Bush submits proposals that will do certain things by 2012 in his mind. Yeah, and I plan on my car that flies in 2012 too.
The woman thing really cracks me up. The only thing women are good for in Newt's mind are blowjobs and divorcing. 83 million women might see their taxes go up ON AVERAGE $2,068. Ok, now remember that Oprah, Martha Stewart, Venus Williams, and Sandra Bullock are included in this average. Newt is hoping that you can not tell the difference between throwing a bunch of numbers together and dividing them, and what somebody at the say 50th percentile of income would be paying in taxes.
Newt Gingrich thinks you all are stupid. Seriously. The numbers are nothing like he suggests. However, there is a philosophical school that is opposed to taxes on the wealthy. It can be argued on the grounds of trickle down economics. Newt isn't making that argument though. He is trying to deceive. In other words, he is an asshole.

Rudy Giuliani fucked his cousin for over a decade, then got an anullment because he didn't realize it. His father was apparently mobbed up, he dresses in drag, supports abortions, gay rights, endorses democrats, and liked the assault weapons banning bill. He cheated on his wife in public, then kicked her out to live with a gay couple. He is leading the field in the GOP primary.
John McCain screwed around on his first wife, married his second a month after the ink was dry.
Newt Gingrich... well books can be written about his moral lapses. Apparently it doesn't count as sex if it's a hummer because he didn't "sleep" with them. He led the crusade against Clinton's moral failings.
Now thrice married Fred Thompson is entering the picture. He dated liberal journalist Margaret Carlsson for a time. But, he is on tv.
What is wrong with Republicans? Seriously? It's like they are running the morally lax olympics here. Newt is expected to medal. Can we stop the meme that Republicans are the values party? These folks don't share my values. I do like Newt Gingrich's sex scenes in his novel though. They are teh hot. Perhaps the Republicans are going the way of the whigs before them. Or, they can get Tv's Gopher from the Love Boat in. He almost became Governor of Iowa. Stranger things have happened.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who remarried one month after his 1980 divorce, said Friday that the personal lives of White House hopefuls shouldn't become an issue in the 2008 campaign.
"I would like to see this campaign conducted on past record and ambition for the future," McCain told reporters after a fundraising luncheon in Charlotte, N.C. "I would hope that gossip _ or, quote, 'family issues' _ would not enter into this campaign."
McCain's call to keep personal lives private came the same week that chief rival Rudy Giuliani asked for privacy as he deals with strained relationships within his family, including estrangement from his children.
The Arizona senator's remarks also came as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential candidate for the GOP nomination, admitted to having an affair at the same time he was leading the effort to impeach President Clinton for allegations of perjury connected with the president's affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Ok, let me get this straight for just a second. All the talk about Clinton's personal life was important for the campaign trail in 1992 and 1996. But, we should move beyond all that now since most of the leading GOP contenders make Clinton look like a choir boy in comparison. Clinton did not parade mistresses around the Governor's mansion in Little Rock. He used hotels damn it.
This is pretty pathetic even for the Republicans, which is setting the bar way down low. It kind of reminds me of when after the ridiculous investigations of Clinton spent tens of millions of dollars, the Republicans hawked tapes saying Clinton was a coke dealer, George (5-4 in the Supreme Court) Bush came to town and said we should have a new tone, a tone where democrats don't do to us what we did to them.
That's worked out great for the country. Fuggetaboutit. If that Cousin fucker, or that cancer divorcer, or that mistress loving, trophy wife grabbing want to run for President, they are running under Clinton rules. I hope you kept all your billing records Rudy. Newt, well fuck you Newt. Keating 5 was a real scandal McCain, let's explore that a bit shall we all.
I also call on Larry Flynt to pay as much as he can afford to any of the ex-lovers, mistresses, one night stands of these guys to appear in a women of the GOP primary hopefuls pictorial. If they all commit, the issue will be as thick as a phone book.
