The Social Poets: From Obama, Tax Returns: Check Out How Your Personal Tax Dollars Spent On National Budget




The Social Poets: From Obama, Tax Returns: Check Out How Your Personal Tax Dollars Spent On National Budget: From Denny:  Today Prez Obama and VP Biden (and spouses) released their IRS tax returns.  Obama's was 48 pages long with an adjusted gross income of about $790,000.  Hey, those book sales add up over three years.  The Obamas also gave $172,000 to charities, about 22 percent of their income, much of it from a children's book.

Can you imagine paying $162,000 in taxes?  The President did.  The GE Corporation - and far too many other Wall Street folks - didn't even pay that much.  What's wrong with that picture?  Check out the links to their names above to go directly to the pdf files online for the Obamas and the Bidens if you want to see the actual returns and read the details.

What was interesting is the fun White House page where you can calculate how your federal tax dollars are used for the national budget.  OK, I wouldn't be inclined to put in personal information but there is a pull down menu of a few choices so you can get the idea.

The Social Poets: Jon Stewart Mocks Outrageous Arizona School Board Fearing Mexican-American Studies: From Denny:  The Daily Show may be a comedy show but Jon Stewart utilizes what is happening right here in America as material.  You can't make up this stuff.  It's unbelievable.  How do these incredibly insensitive - and more importantly, really stupid - people rise to such high positions of authority where they affect the lives of millions of people?  It's scary in its implications.

It's difficult to believe this superintendent actually has a doctorate in education.  Are you sure this guy didn't lie on his resume or buy his degree from some online scam site?  It's like listening to my Republican Louisiana Senator David Vitter who claims to be a Rhodes scholar and a lawyer who graduated Ivy League schools.  He can barely put a sentence together and lacks rational thinking just like this fool.

Watch as comic Al Madrigal baits this guy about Mexican-American studies now banned in Arizona's Tucson school district.  The reasons this superintendent gives are incredible, all based only upon hearsay. Hearsay - can you believe it? This guy who heads their school board never even bothered to talk to the teachers of the program or read any of the textbooks.  And he calls himself an educator?  Unbelievable.
