Surprise, Suckers!
They said the Tea Parties were against higher taxes, and nobody likes higher taxes, so that’s how that goes. But did they mention the whole thing about scrapping the progressive income tax?
Ooh, we do not think they did. Here’s what FreedomWorks sent out to their members (hi!) in an irregularly scheduled mass email two days before the protests:
Dear [fake name based on a risqué pun],
Tax day is upon us once again and it is clearer than ever that we need to fundamentally reform the tax code. It’s unfair, complex, inhibits saving, investment and job creation, imposes a heavy burden on families, and undermines the integrity of the democratic process.
To this end, we have completely revamped ScraptheCode.org and created a petition to let Congress know we want to scrap the code and replace it with a simple, low, flat, fair, and honest tax code.
I’m writing to ask you to do two things:
- Please join the thousands of Americans signing our petition to Scrap the Code, and
- Please contribute to our campaign so we can get the word out and get more petition signers!
Some of our members are so frustrated with the tax-and-spend ways of Washington they’re taking to the streets on Wednesday for the nationwide Tea Party protests and helping us support them. If you’re looking for one near you, we have every one we’ve heard about or helped with on a map here and created instructions on how to organize your own.
Fixing our broken tax code is so important to America’s future prosperity that FreedomWorks Foundation Vice-Chairman Steve Forbes and I have both written books calling for fundamental reform.
Our team in Washington has also published the Top 10 Reasons to Scrap the Code, which I have included below.
I hope you find it as informative as I did and will sign our petition and contribute to our efforts to get the word out.
Sincerely,
Dick Armey
Chairman
FreedomWorks
You have to give Steve Forbes credit. Post-Armageddon, there’ll be nothing but cockroaches, Keith Richards, and Forbes bothering Richards with some sneaky new flat tax scheme.

BUT ANY WAYS I DID’NT KNOW THAT KEITH RICHARD WAS INVOLVED WITH THIS EFFORT BUT GOOD ON HIM, I THINK I WILL DIG MY ROLLING STONES LP’S OUT OF THE TRASH AND GIVE EM A SPIN! AS MICK JAGGER ALL WAYS SAID, “YOU CA’NT GET WHAT YOU WANT TILL YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED,” WELL WE ARE GOING TO GET WHAT WE NEED (TAX RELEAF) ON APRIL 15 AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO GET WHAT WE WANT (POWER) ON APRIL 16 SO LOOK OUT AMERICA HERE WE COME!!!!

Imagine the “Last Men on Earth”: Glen Beck, O’Riley, Spongy Loadpants, Cheney, Limebag, Hannity, and various Repug puppet-masters. Add to that toxic concoction the females of the species: Malkin, Coulter, K-Load (?) Debbe Scnitzel and Mrs. Perfesser. This will be all that is left of humanity, they will have to breed if they want the species to continue.
Will they draw lots, have a Dating-Game arrangement, or elect an authoritarian (but not fascist) to tell them who gets (has) to mate whom.
Does this mean I can pay exactly the same taxes as Steve Forbes? That would be awesome. That’d mean I was rich just like him, right?
It’s a deal! Millions for everyone!
The email was from “Dick Armey” to “fake name based on a risqué pun”? I’m confused.
And now, when on Thursday FreedumbWorks claims that all the teabaggers were out protesting in support of the flat tax, their rightwing online cohorts will continue to insist it was all a “grassroots” movement, no Astroturfing involved at all, nosireebob.
Heh.
I’m confused.
You have to take the good with the cryptic.
If you show up at these Tea Parties you have to be really really careful not to sign petitions people hand you, because it could be stealth

Even some of my otherwise-intelligent friends are on this bandwagon, and nothing I say seems to get through to them. They also don’t seem to happy when I make comments like “simple solutions for simple minds,” but that’s another matter entirely.
Contribute! What, are Forbes’s and the Koch family’s net worths so diminished? Or is getting poor people to pay for their own lubeless ass-rape an American tradition with these guys? The “Billionaires for Bush” folks need to regroup for the tea parties.
You have to take the good with the cryptic.
That’s what I tell myself as I use a cryptic pencil to staunch the bleeding.
The words “fair” and “honest” appearing in the same text as “Dick Armey.” Now there’s some serious dissonance for you.
Or is getting poor people to pay for their own lubeless ass-rape an American tradition with these guys?
Yes.
This has been another edition of ….
If we don’t have a nice fair, flat tax, Steve Forbes is going to go Galt on us, and then we won’t have him inventing and manufacturing wonderful things for us!
This is a plot twist worthy of an Agatha Christie novel. When do they start agitating for a federal TABOR and a balanced budget amendment?
Also, “Dick Armey” isn’t real is he? He’s like Tipsy McStagger, a composite mascot drawn up by a committee of PR hacks, right?
flat tax, huh. Okay, howsa bout everybody pays 22% of their gross for all kinds of income and the federals redistribute it to the states budgets? howsa bout that? no deductions, no exemptions, just income-level-neutral tax credits.
Also, “Dick Armey” isn’t real is he?

Ask anyone who says they’re for a “simplified” tax code whether they would be in favor of a “simplified” tax code under which they paid more in taxes.
You will find out that not many people are actually in favor of a simplified tax code.
This is starting to seem like Blue Jean Day when I was in college. Blue Jean Day was sprung upon the student populace every now and then without much advance warning, the deal being that wearing blue jeans was supposed to show support for gay and lesbian student organizations, at which point the more hung-up boys panicked and ran home to change.
Exactly. Imagine how people will feel when the aren’t able to deduct for their morgage, child education, state taxes, business expenses, healthcare, etc.
Of course, as a single renter in a state with no income tax, I welcome the idea of a Flat Tax. I probably would pay less.
I am finding the whole concept of the Fair Tax hilarious.
It is as if, instead of a Trojan Horse, the Conservatards are pushing a Trojan Pinata up to the gates.
Anytime rich people advocate for “fair” taxes, I get suspicious. F**k ’em.
No wonder Glenn Beck picked Tom Paine to be a teabagger Founding Father spokesman. That dude was so conservative. He wanted the rich to keep all their money, or All American morality would be compromised.

heh indeedy…
Why the hell has this whole “flat tax” (FairTax, whatthefuckever) caught on?
It hasn’t, among any thinking persons. And it really isn’t the idea of the teabaggers themselves. They’ve been talking up their teabagging get-togethers for over a month now, and the message never was “we demand a flat tax!”
That’s what’s been so entertaining about all of it (well, aside from the whole teabagging thing) – they themselves couldn’t articulate what their protests were about. In fact, just in the past week, everyone but Faux news and the teabaggers themselves has been asking: “yes, but…what are you protesting, other than the fact that you lost?” And they haven’t been able to answer that question. When it’s been pointed out that it obviously isn’t a “grassroots” movement, given that a) no one could articulate the reason for it, other than “we lost”, b) it’s being actively sponsored by Fox, and c) several well-known rightwing astroturfing organizations have both organized and underwritten many of these”spontaneous” “grassroots” protest groups, they’ve unanimously pushed back with this lame “don’t be ridiculous, we’re not astroturf” response (almost as if it came off the blastfax), and now, right before our very eyes, we’re seeing the ultimate goal the rightwing masters want to see advanced being grafted onto the “movement” they astroturfed into existence.
Here’s the really sick part, though: even though the members of the “movement” are finding out what it is they’ll be protesting in support of at the same time you and I are, they’ll show up and protest anyway without a second thought. It’s a Pavlovian response. Their masters beckon, and they heel like good little bitches. They enjoy being pwned that much. Yes, they do. So much that they’ll not only loudly proclaim themselves as teabaggers while asserting their right to teabag in public and willingly make themselves laughingstocks, they’ll do it in service of whatever their Randian overlords tell them.

Jesus, from the link above, the first comment:
“It is too late to regain our freedom thru any ledgislative, or judicial process. There are too many welfare rats who will always support ” more free stuff”. It must come down to the Blood of Patriots.”
“Welfare rats” is a bit rude. I’m sure he meant to say “black people.”
So, what began as a protest against the bailouts begun by the GOP is now a tax-protest against the worse-than-the-Holocaust nightmare of falling taxes? Their genius is truly too profound for my puny mind to fathom. Maybe next they can protest against sugar being too sweet or petition Congress to repeal the law of gravity.
But the spectacle of Chuck Fucking Norris chirping “Tea time anyone?” on the Intertubes almost makes it all worth it.

Oh, and from point #7 of why we need a flat tax:
“Our most productive members of society face federal taxes of 36 percent or higher”
Please feel free to go fuck youself Mr. Armey.

Everyone Should Pay Income Taxes
It’s bad for our democracy to exempt half the country.
I never quite get this. I’ve heard any number of wingnuts (Steyn, etc.) harping about how Obama is bringing on the socialist revolution by exempting a majority of people from income tax. All I know is that I’ve always paid income tax. Always. Even when I was making $18k a year. Did I miss some deduction that I could’ve taken?
I have the sneaky feeling that the “half of the country who doesn’t pay income tax” includes people who, well, don’t have any income. High school seniors. The unemployed. Stay-at-home moms and dads.

“Where were all these teabaggers during the Bush years when borrowing to waste was through the fucking roof?”
Cheerleading the same.
IIRC, even vaunted liberal “lion”/icon/sir spends a lot Ted Kennedy worked diligently in the 1980s to reform and simplify the tax code, because its 3.5 million words and 64,000 pages may be a bit cumbersome, dense, and fraught with laws that could burn pretty much any taxpayer on some level. Of course, all his hard work has been undone over the past 20+ years because, well, that’s what the IRS is good for.
Just because these guys are douchebags, doesn’t mean they’re wrong.
Woo, patriotism.
Also, “Dick Armey” isn’t real is he? He’s like Tipsy McStagger, a composite mascot drawn up by a committee of PR hacks, right?
We had a “Dick Reasons” in the HR department of an insurance company where I worked. It was a very appropriate name, as he was always issuing memos with dick reasons why we couldn’t do something on the internet while working. I always imagined that the HR peeps sat around chuckling evilly while composing these memos signed “Dick Reasons.”
I’m always wary at calls to “simplify” the tax code.
“Pay us 100% of everything you make – no exceptions.” would certainly be simple but I don’t think anybody would want it.
Dear [fake name based on a risqué pun],

Applying Title IX to science and engineering. Yeah, that will help science programs. The next person who gets on here and screams about how Democrats are committed to science needs to shut the fuck up. They are no better than the worst evangelical. Demanding the science be made more girl friendly by getting rid of all that icky experimentation and math and making sure that every science program has an equal number of men and women in it regardless of how many qualified hard working men get turned down in favor of less qualified women is no better than demanding that schools teach that dinosaurs walked the earth with man. In fact it may be worse. Evangelicals only want to destroy biology. Liberals want to put a torch to all of science.
Because our lil trollbot sucks at posting links…

More collectivist ideology from the Fascist Left.
So let me get this straight, Fauxbertarian…
Because the author finds one instance, and not even a particular valid one, where Title IX *might* have been applied inappropriately, somehow you think that invalidates the spirit of equality in the teaching of sciences to women, who lag far behind men?
Now let’s add the context of the fact that, in general, Americans are falling way behind in sciences and maths ANYWAY, which means that whatever the educational policy morons of the Republican party who cut school funding and eliminated unnecessary programs like sciences were doing, UR DOIN ET WRONG!
“Because the author finds one instance, and not even a particular valid one, where Title IX *might* have been applied inappropriately, somehow you think that invalidates the spirit of equality in the teaching of sciences to women, who lag far behind men?”
I don’t care about groups, I only care about the individual. I don’t care if th e person is a man or woman, but they should be qualified not given special rights based on their genitals.
That’s certainly a wonderful strawman you’re assembling there, Bert. “Demanding the science be made more girl friendly by getting rid of all that icky experimentation and math”?
Because no man in history has ever received preferential treatment ‘based on his genitals’.
(Well, maybe John Holmes.)
My genitals deserve special treatment. You must be doing something wrong.
Men are better at math because when they drop trou they can count higher.
How stupid does Ari Fleischer think we are? Actually, I can’t count the number of “flat tax” advocates I’ve seen making the same transparently evil argument.
Namely, as Ari says, “the 10% of the country that makes more than $92,400 a year — pay 72.4% of the nation’s income taxes. They’re the tip of the triangle that’s supporting virtually everyone and everything. Their burden keeps getting heavier.”
So apparently, the top 10% should only pay 10% of the total taxes??? The top 1 in 300 million (i.e. Bill Gates) should pay the same as any other 1 in 300 million? There’s flat tax (everybody pays the same percentage: 20% or whatever), and then there’s “flat tax” (everybody pays the same dollar amount). I’d be willing to treat flat tax advocates with a modicum of respect if that weren’t running around putting up bullshit arguments for a “flat tax” and assuming that rest of the country was too stupid to tell the difference. “Their burden keeps getting heavier” is the coup de grace; is income inequality in this country diminishing?
Demanding the science be made more girl friendly by getting rid of all that icky experimentation and math
Uh, source please. That article certainly didn’t provide one. Oh wait, my mistake, you’re a troll. You don’t have one.
I’m not saying applying Title IX to academics is a good idea. I’m saying you’re a cut-and-paste troll who doesn’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Again.
“So apparently, the top 10% should only pay 10% of the total taxes??? ”
Yes.
“So apparently, the top 10% should only pay 10% of the total taxes??? ”
Why, yes.

“So apparently, the top 10% should only pay 10% of the total taxes??? ”
That is correct. That’s what would be fair.
The top 10% should pay 10% of the income taxes.
I don’t care about groups, I only care about the individual.
I love the fantasy world of Fauxbertarians where somehow, magically, people don’t organize and socialize and oppress, even without government assistance.
You know, like corporations who greedily plunder the resources of widows and orphans never existed in their America…stuff like that never happened!
YES, the top 10% of earners should pay 10% of all income taxes.
That Fleischer piece is horribly written — he must have even worse people writing for him now. The metaphors are just painful. Here’s a taste:
“Everyone now has a sacred cow in the tax code. For my money, the most sacred thing of all is our country and its growth, but the sacred cows have turned into a pack of wolves. On both the spending and the tax side, the wolves are devouring our children’s future.”
Yikes.
I don’t care if th e person is a man or woman, but they should be qualified not given special rights based on their genitals.
I wonder how Albert Einstein would refute this idiotic argument?
Show his expulsion letter from high school, perhaps?
Wall Street Journal:
That’s actually Ari Fleischer Sports Communications. He and Selig are pals.
“Everyone now has a sacred cow in the tax code. For my money, the most sacred thing of all is our country and its growth, but the sacred cows have turned into a pack of wolves. On both the spending and the tax side, the wolves are devouring our children’s future.”

Hey, numbnuts, don’t you know ANYTHING? “Special rights” is the terminology you use to build towards “Keep the fags away”. When you’re saying them broads get a free pass, you refer to “feminazis” or “voting by emotions” or some similar bullshit.
Doesn’t the picture in the Ari Fleischer piece look a bit too much like a dreidel? Not very subtle, is it?
I always imagined that the HR peeps sat around chuckling evilly while composing these memos signed “Dick Reasons.”
This is delightful. It really lends itself to exploitation whenever Dick is out of the office and has to have a (presumably unwilling) proxy sign off on the memos. “Signed, Trilateral Chairman for Dick Reasons.”
@Marc: Funnily enough, I recall Al “The Honorable Gentleman from Minnesota” Franken referring to Faux News once as “spinning like Ari Fleischer’s dreidel”.
All these sacred cows turning into packs of wolves… I smell a rat!
It’s true that the Russians have had success with their flat rate, but that’s hardly the only revenue they collect. We found out last fall how much they depend on oil money, once it started to dry up.
When you’re saying them broads get a free pass, you refer to “feminazis” or “voting by emotions” or some similar bullshit.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. You liberals always play the “sexism” or “racism” card when you have nothing left.

I wonder what would happen if these people ever found out that 1) for almost all of them, federal income taxes are about to be reduced, and 2) almost all of them would be paying higher taxes under any “flat tax” scheme that was remotely viable.
Title IX should apply to libertarians. Talk about a sausage party.
Isn’t the reason we have progressive taxes and not flat taxes is so we don’t have to exempt half the country?

Aw jeez, Joe Max, you just made me have a John Cole-type moment where I remembered being a college student in 1992 and thinking Jerry Brown’s ideas made a lot of sense. I may have even voted for the guy. Then again, a lot of people in 1992 voted for H. Ross Perot. What the hell was going on?
Yes, put Alan Keyes, the man who “did not just lose his Senate race to Obama, [but] did so by an historic margin” (hat tip) against the same opponent with eight more years experience in playing the game, tied to Sarah Palin, the running mate who single-handedly demolished the GOP in less than four months.
