After decrying inequality, Obama golfs at personal course of mega-billionaire

According to a Tax Foundation analysis of new IRS data, the bottom half of income-tax filers paid 36% more in taxes in 2011 than they did in 2010 — even though their incomes barely budged.The top half, in contrast, saw their tax burden climb only 9%. The average tax rate paid by the bottom half has climbed every year under Obama, going from 2.35% in 2009 to 3.13% in 2011.Viewed another way, the share of "adjusted gross income" earned by the bottom half fell slightly in 2011, but their share of income taxes paid actually rose — the first such increase since 1989.Read More At Investor's Business Daily:*You Call This Tax Fairness, Mr. Obama? - Investors.com us:*@IBDinvestors on Twitter*|*InvestorsBusinessDaily on Faceboo

Yet when he had both the house and senate his first 2 years he did nothing. And the tax burden of the poorest has actually risen under his leadership. Strange, don't ya think?


It would behoove you to read the whole thing.

The data also don't include transfer payments. As we've noted, when you include government transfers, the average family in the bottom 40% actually gets money back from the government.

The premise of your thread is infantile, ridiculous, and wrong.

It does not warrant serious ‘debate.’

i agree that Obama's talk about 'inequality' is infantile, ridiculous, and wrong....and does not warrant serious ‘debate.’

in fact his own actions belie his argument...
 
How many rounds of golf is Obama up to now?

Come on Republicans, you should know off the top of your head

as of January 4th, 2014......160 rounds.....and counting.....

The Obama Golf Counter - I will not rest until...

so tell us why Obama golfs on rich peoples private golf courses when he thinks income inequality is a bad thing....?

160 rounds in 260 weeks.........less than a round every ten days

Obama thinks the wealthy should be taxed more. What does playing golf have to do with that?

So it's far less than Dubya was at the same time.

Mkay!

buh bye!

That is true, I should not have used the word poorest, but the point is the burden has become greater on those he claims he wants to help. Hypocrisy at its best. And once again his hypocrisy runs high when he had the chance his first 2 years to increase the alreadt high tax burden on the rich, yet never did even though he screams income inequality almost daily.
Do I think the top already carries too much of the burden? Yes.

buh bye!

WRONG.....Dubya stopped golfing at 24 rounds in 2003.....as it seemed inappropriate to be seen golfing while our soldiers were dying in Afghanistan and Iraq...

Giving up golf makes up for the 7000 dead because of Bushs invasions?
 
So called liberals are allowed to have lives of luxury. It's just that nobody else is.

giving up his golf showed RESPECT for our troops.....something alien to Obama...

Something as shallow as giving up golf shows respect for 7000 dead because of his poor decisions?

Just like when you dimwits said Bush quit golf after 9/11, you do realize that's a flat out lie too, don't you?

Fact Checker - Golf-gate!

Bush quit golf because his knees gave out.

Then he continued vacationing more than any president in history, even Obama.

that's pure speculation by bloggers.....your article even says so....he quit out of respect for our soldiers...

hands down......Obama's 160+ rounds (avg 32+ per yr) beats
Bush's 24 rounds (avg 8 per yr)...

now tell us why Obama (as he plays in the lap of luxury) thinks too many Americans make too much money.....

that isn't the reason he gave for giving up golf...stop frikken lying..it's pathetic
 
Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison ranks 3rd on Forbes 400 richest Americans....here's his 249 acre Rancho Mirage private golf course that Obama and his childhood buddies are playing on this long weekend.....it's obvious that lefties like Obama do not hate the rich...so who are the rich people he's attacking....?

Lame.

President Obama has not said he hates the rich. Neither has the left.

Wanna try again?

You might try turning this into one of really lame ass whines about the president getting a little time off. The idiot rw's really eat that shit up.

Intelligent people? Not so much.
