A Simple Analogy, With Some Truth

An analogy of our system of Government
By Michael T. Wayne
Does anybody out there watch the television show “Fringe” on Fox? If not, here is the premise. In this show, there are two universes, at first, pitted against one another. Unable to cooperate, or compromise, they tried to destroy one another, both Worlds in chaos, and on their way to self- destruction. However, as the series has progressed, the two sides began working together, despite their earlier differences. A bridge was built between the two Worlds, and certain individuals from one side or the other cross over, to work with their former enemies to aid each side to make things better in both Worlds.
Does this sound familiar, save for the working together part? Two opposing sides, the Democrats and Republicans, in Congress, are not willing to work together for the good of this Nation, nor do they ever compromise with each other. Even if said cooperation would be to our benefit. No one side is completely right, and the other completely wrong, yet the fanatical obedience and loyalty to their party’s beliefs is confounding. They already consider themselves “Elite”, as they work very little, and are very much overpaid. Not to mention the “perks” of their positions of power, such as healthcare and full pay for life, even if they serve only one term. To me, it would appear that they care much more for themselves, their political affiliations, power and money, than they do the average American Citizen. You know, the huddled masses, as we have all “tightened” our belts until it has run out of notches. Compromise and cooperation would more than likely save our Country, as we have a giant drain on our taxpayer’s monies named Michelle “I like vacations” Obama. Thought I would say the President, did you not? Alright, I will. The first lady is only able to take these trips, on OUR dime, because a multitude of Americans were lulled into electing this Man to Preside over the Ineptocracy he has created, rather than the “change” his Hitler-like oratory skills had promised (apologies postumously to Hitler, as you actually helped your country before you went insane); he did also promise the Hispanic Community to enact better immigration requirements, to help get the Hispanic vote. But did he do anything that he said he would? Of course not, for in order to serve two terms, things had to get worse, to enable him to place blame on others; and yet to take ALL of the credit for anything good that happens. Now, as it is re-election time, is it not strange that the same promises, which were not fulfilled, are being brought forth once again? I am only able to tell he is lying if his lips are moving. An Obama lover, Timothy Geitner was asked by a woman, if the 92% job loss for women since Obama took office as stated by Mitt Romney was indeed true. He said it was not. Well, actually it is true, and we can see just how deceptive this Party and its Administration have become. It is appalling. And there is just one more minute problem; it is the back taxes, owed by Federal employees, and those wonderful rich and famous Hollywood celebrities, who are blessed with such an opulent life and frivolously money wasting way of life, as the super-rich. This must be why most of them are Obama supporters. If I am incorrect about that, those of you who wish to may let me know, as I am easy to contact. I am well aware of the Hollywood Republicans, whom I am not currently addressing. The following articles bear out exactly where the Government could get the funding to repay the billions it has pillaged from Social Security, and the myriad of other Intagovernmental agencies which we are currently indebted to. That is my opinion.

Thousands of federal workers owe back taxes- CBS
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has preached that all Americans should pay their fair share in taxes, but a government report finds that tens of thousands of federal employees — from staffers in Congress to federal agencies and even Obama's executive office — collectively owe the government billions in back taxes.
Data from the Internal Revenue Service found that more than 279,000 federal employees and retirees owed $3.4 billion in back income taxes as of Sept. 30, 2010. The data showed that 467 employees of the House of Representatives, or about 4.2 percent of the workforce, owed more than $8.5 million. In the Senate, 217 employees, or about 3 percent of the workforce, owed $2.13 million. Obama's staff was not immune, either, with 36 people in Obama's executive office of nearly 1,800 workers — about 2 percent — owing the government $833,970 in back taxes. Obama used part of his State of the Union address Tuesday night to promote economic fairness, arguing for changes in the tax code that would create a minimum tax rate of at least 30 percent on anyone making more than $1 million. The finances of one of his chief Republican rivals, Mitt Romney, has been scrutinized because he, like many millionaires, pays a lower rate because most of his income came from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate. The IRS report attracted the attention of Republicans, who said it undercut the president's argument on taxes. "If Obama wants people to pay their 'fair share,' perhaps he should start with his own staff," tweeted Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus. White House officials noted that the delinquency rate among executive office staff had fallen from nearly 3 percent in 2008. In 2009, 41 employees in the president's executive office owed about $830,000, representing about 2.3 percent of its workforce. White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said the annual report was released by the IRS because there is a "high standard for government employees." "Though the report shows that fewer executive office employees owe taxes than in the last year of the previous administration and we expect all employees to pay their taxes in full, more needs to be done to ensure compliance and the president has asked his team to work on this issue," Brundage said. Overall, the total amount owed is down slightly from September 2009, when more than 282,000 federal workers owed $3.3 billion in taxes. The report does not offer specific explanations for the delinquencies. Many people who owe back taxes file returns but cannot pay the full amount when their taxes are due, said IRS spokesman Anthony Burke. Others may be disputing the bill, may have filed jointly with a spouse who owes taxes or may have had their tax bills increased by an audit and cannot pay the higher amount. The statistics on federal employees do not include those who are on payment plans. The IRS doesn't provide a comparable delinquency rate for income taxes paid by the public. Among Cabinet agencies, the departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development had the highest delinquency rates, at nearly 4 percent. The Treasury Department had the lowest delinquency rate, at nearly 1 percent.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Pamela Anderson and Lionel Richie owe the government money.
California tax authorities said Anderson owes $524,241 in personal income taxes. The Franchise Tax Board included the "Baywatch" star on a list of the state's 500 biggest income-tax delinquents posted Friday.
Meanwhile, E! Online reports (http://eonli.ne/HDd0EP) that Richie owes the federal government $1.1 million in unpaid taxes and that a lien has been issued warning that the singers' assets may be seized if he doesn't pay up in a timely manner. A message seeking comments from Richie's publicist wasn't immediately returned Saturday. A call to Anderson's tax attorney, Robert Leonard, wasn't immediately returned.
California law requires tax authorities to update and publish the names and amounts owed by the state's 500 biggest tax scofflaws twice a year. "When taxpayers do not pay their fair share, it places an unfair burden on those who do," the tax board said on its website, which said the 500 owe the state nearly $233 million. Other notable names on California's tax-delinquent list include CNET co-founder Halsey Minor, Joe Francis, the founder of the "Girls Gone Wild" video empire, actor Nick Cassavetes and boxer James Toney. Minor and his wife, Shannon, are on top of the list for owing the state $10.5 million in personal income taxes. Francis owes $794,000, Cassavetes, the son of filmmaker John Cassavetes and actress Gena Rowlands, owes $273,000 while Toney owes $354,000.

MTW- See what I mean? These are taxes, which we ALL have to pay. If Joe the Plumber did what these people are getting away with, he would be in the poor house- that is to say, penniless in a cardboard box, with a few ex- Military vets as neighbors. Maybe even jail. “All Men are created equal”, right? Pay your debts, you bunch of leeches. IRS, where are you in this? You did not hesitate to take everything Willie Nelson owned, but unfortunately for you, the one thing out of your reach is his beautiful voice, and his song writing talent. I believe he simply stated that they can take all of the money, he can make more. He did. Although, the Stars do not owe but a tiny fraction of what the Federal employees owe. Is that not peculiar to you?
GOD BLESS EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD!
