To All My Democrat Friends: Please accept with no
obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for
an environmentally conscious, socially responsible,
low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral
celebration of the winter solstice holiday,
practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of
the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular
practices of your choice, with respect for the
religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of
others, or their choice not to practice religious or
secular traditions at all. I also wish you a
fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and
medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of
the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not
without due respect for the calendars of choice of
other cultures whose contributions to society have
helped make America great. Not to imply that America
is necessarily greater than any other country nor
the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also,
this wish is made without regard to the race, creed,
color, age, physical ability, religious faith or
sexual preference of the wishee.

To My Republican Friends: Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year!

This morning I visited the IRS and ran some numbers concerning the TAX burden in the United States.

The numbers were pretty revealing. They were not as easy to get as I first thought they probably were. I took them from an IRS web site, which does not agree with other websites I visited. Congress really needs to work on data accessibility and consistency.

What I found was kind of startling.

Returns filed making between 200,000 and 500,000 pay the lowest portion of taxes. In fact they pay about 1/8 of the ratio that most other groups including people making between 5 and 10 million.

After running some statistical analysis there is no way to account for this.

Most corporations pay a higher ratio of taxes to net compared to individuals.

I ran the numbers pre-tax credit, just as an FYI.

Corporations paid about 200 billion in taxes (2004) and individual tax returns accounted for almost a trillion.

So did anyone else expect these kinds of numbers?

I have chosen the political category, because politicians are always ruling Joe and Jane Publics lives without a clue of HOW to deal with the problem due to the FACT they do NOT LISTEN to Joe and Jane Public, PLUS, Bishops are allowed to sit in the House of Lords in order presumably to have an input on the spiritual, moral and pastoral guidence inserted into any new legislation passed...? (IF not what are they doing there then?)

This might be a "solution" for politicians... who've tried and tested everything else including sending the scallywags on EXPENSIVE HOLIDAYS paid for by hard working tax payers.. !!!
