DS of the Week - Jean Dunlop

Jean Dunlop of Kansas City is this week's DS of the Week.  Jean is a great example of how the mainstream media can fool the weak minded into believing something that is not true.

Tax burden on poor



I find it very interesting that the GOP continually recommends budget cuts that directly affect the poor who really need the resources. I wonder how much of the deficit would be alleviated if the large corporations and the upper classes actually paid the same percentage of taxes that are paid by the poor and middle classes.

Even if they all paid 15 percent to 20 percent, I believe the national debt would be vastly lessened.

People need to understand this fundamental premise, rather than to respond viscerally to a cry to decrease government spending.

The poor and middle working classes have shouldered this burden alone for too long.

Jean does not realize that 51% of lower income Americans pay no federal income tax at all.  That would be "the poor" she believes pay more than their fair share of taxes.  I am sure the so called rich and large corporations would trade tax rates with the poor and middle class in a heartbeat.

While Jean plays the part of a DS, the blame is on the main stream media as they continue to perpetuate the lie that America's rich and large corporations pay little tax, and benefit greatly from the tax policies of George Bush.  This would be the same tax policy that Barack Obama and the democratic congress just extended another 2 years, but I am sure Jean is unaware of that fact.  The main stream media have again proven that if you repeat a lie often enough, a DS like Jean Dunlop of Kansas City will believe it is true.
