Republican congressman John Flemming from Louisiana<\/p>\n

Really opposes Obama’s “Buffett Rule” taxing millionaires<\/p>\n

\"\"(“Don’t tax me bro!”)<\/p>\n

His point was that he makes $6.3 million per year in his franchises<\/p>\n

He owns Subway’s and UPS shops that makes $6.3 million, gross<\/p>\n

After all expenses he said he only takes home around $600,000<\/p>\n

\"\"(I’m poor!)<\/p>\n

“So by the time I feed my family I have, maybe, $400,000 left over<\/p>\n

To invest in new locations, upgrade my locations, buy more equipment”<\/p>\n

Wait, your family eats $200,000 worth of food buddy?<\/p>\n

Holy fucking shit balls, how much do they eat?<\/p>\n

\"\"(Swimming at the lake house)<\/p>\n

I see an entire season of The Biggest “Fleming” Loser in the future<\/p>\n

With them all living in the worlds most structurally sound steel house<\/p>\n

He says, “I simply can’t afford the tax hike”<\/p>\n

The irrational logic assumes he’s getting taxed on $6.3 million<\/p>\n

He’s not<\/em>. He’s getting taxed on his “net personal income” of $600,000<\/p>\n

\"\"(It’s true)<\/p>\n

Your company pays taxes in the form of “payroll tax”<\/p>\n

Anyone who knows BASIC tax code knows this. Guess he’s just a lying dick<\/p>\n

Who’s totally out of touch with the plights of average people<\/p>\n

The only thing that “Trickles down” is piss from the wealthy for Supply Side<\/p>\n

Which now just gives you a lot of smelly angry wet poor people<\/p>\n

\"\"(Give him the keys)<\/p>\n

Who see right though you. If tax cuts work, then where are the jobs?<\/p>\n

No one can answer that gem, which exposes a gaping hole in logic<\/p>\n

Have a day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
