FAIL… Radical Libs Hold Rallies Across US Demanding Higher Taxes & Spending – Only a Few Dozen Protesters Show Up
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 27, 2011, 10:55 AM
Tax and Spend Liberals Held 40 “Uncut” Rallies Across the US Yesterday.
They called it a grassroots rally but only a couple of dozen protesters showed up to support their big government agenda.
These selfish dolts don’t think that government has spent enough of your children’s money (tripling the deficit wasn’t enough?) so they held rallies across the US yesterday to Tax the Rich. They either aren’t aware of the fact the the US “rich” already pay the most… Or they don’t care.
This is from their Uncut website:
US Uncut is a grassroots movement taking direct action against corporate tax cheats and unnecessary and unfair public service cuts across the U.S. Washington’s proposed budget for the coming year sends a clear message: The wrath of budget cuts will fall upon the shoulders of hard-working Americans. That’s unacceptable.
Obama seeks to trim $1.1 trillion from the budget in the next ten years by cutting or eliminating over 200 federal programs, many dedicated to social services and education. For instance, it cuts in half funding to subsidize heating for low-income Americans; limits an expansion of the Pell grant program for students; and decreases Environmental Protection Agency funding by over 12%.
Meanwhile, Republicans are using their new House majority to slash spending even more brutally. The GOP has made it clear that they are bent on raiding funds for Social Security, Medicare, education; determined to kill health care reform; and gut needed investments in infrastructure, climate change and job creation, at a time when America needs it most.
These cuts will come on top of very painful austerity measures made at the state-level across our nation–-worth hundreds of billions–since the recession began.
In short, budget cuts demonstrate that Washington has abandoned ordinary Americans.
But there is an alternative: Make corporate tax avoiders pay.
In Washington DC the radicals blocked the doors at the Bank of America.
Here’s a photo from the Portland rally.
Even in San Francisco they could only get a couple dozen radical leftists to show up.
No wonder we didn’t hear about these protests in the state-run media.
So much for that groundswell of support, huh?
Better luck next time, libs.

Shouldn’t they be protesting Mr. Immelt and G.E.?
greenfairie commented:
They should protest at GE headquarters. They paid no taxes either, thanks to loopholes and their coziness with Obama.
Beto commented:
A 1% tax on wall street trades would net trillions. No BS
Zim commented:
#3 I’d rather see those trillions in the hands of the people who created that wealth, not the federal government to waste.
Formerly known as Skeptic commented:
I’ve got no problem with closing arcane tax loopholes that allow things like the GE fiasco, but that is a secondary issue to spending, which is out of control. Closing tax loopholes should result in decreased taxes for others, not just increased revenues to feed the ever-hungry maw of Government overspending.
Chuck commented:
So why aren’t these idiots protesting Claire McCaskill, Charlie Rangle, John Kerry, Timmy Geithner, or GE?
Granny commented:
Here in Vermont our poor state workers will no longer be able to avail themselves of bottled water at taxpayer expense. Savings even in our minuscule state – $100,000 per year.

Nobody ever accused dumba$$ liberals with having an ounce of common sense

Charlie commented:
Well, you know if you are going to protest at a bank… Saturdays are a good because they are the busiest day for banking… Uhmmm… Uhmmm… How do you get ammonia into light bulbs again?

…………..
Proves they’re lying. They’re at the bank, just as the SEIU minion outlined for coordinated harrassment to bring down the banking system.
Okay, let’s qualify that – it proves that hard core liars are organizing ignorant useful idiots and greedy opportunitists.

Very good comment above, who stole 500 Billion from Medicare for Obamacare.In who bill did they cut Heating ass. for the poor at the same time refuse Drilling to reduce cost.
Mark commented:
Fire half of the useless gubmint “workers” and shut down two thirds of the idiotic “programs”, then talk to me about taxes. Oh, boot the wetbacks out, too.
greenfairie commented:
I just saw something very interesting on Redstate.com, that quoted from a Telegraph report on the London riots yesterday:
“UK Uncut, an anti-cuts direct action group, later occupied the Fortnum & Mason store in Piccadilly, claiming the firm had ‘dodged’ paying taxes.”
Curiouser and curiouser.
Yvonne Larsen commented:
They didn’t show up in Houston earlier this month either…

I wonder how many of those actually pay taxes.
Bobbi85710 commented:
When you have paid tools with a wardrobe of different shirt colors and 40 different organization membership cards in their wallets, they are bound to stiff an event or three… lol The libs have finally spread themselves too thin… the veil of secrecy is now no mystery.

muckdog commented:
What’s going to get us are interest payments on the national debt.
Kind of like how when folks start using credit cards. At first, the small minimum monthly payment is easy to handle. Then as the debt grows, the minimum payment gets higher and higher. At some point, the minimum payment begins to impact the ability to pay for other things like the house payment, groceries, and utility bills.
This is what is happening to the federal, state, and local governments. The monthly payments on debt are getting higher and higher, impacting things we care about like education, firefighters, and safety.
At some point, the government must cut up the credit cards, just like many Americans have had to.
tarpon commented:
It was a success … Yeah!!! Dolts is right.
Militant Conservative commented:
The left’s support is kinda skimpy. Tea party is the 800 on gorilla.
Powder is dry
avery commented:
GE not only didn:t pay any taxes they going to get a large rebate.
chewydog commented:
They won’t protest G.E. because they (GE) makes windmills. Simple.
Joe's Garage commented:
A lot of comments here asking the same question. And here it is right from the protesters’ very own website:
“But there is an alternative: Make corporate tax avoiders pay.”
Wouldn’t it be nice if someone stuck a microphone into the face of one of these clowns and, reading that very quote, asked: “Sooo… What do you Marxists have to say about GE?”
Jim Treacher commented:
Love the pre-made signs. But teabaggers are the REAL astroturfers, right?
Mark commented:
“I wonder how many of those actually pay taxes.”
Too damn few, and that is the crux of the problem. EVERYONE should pay taxes so increases mean something to THEM rather than another gubmint freebie.
richard mcenroe commented:
“A 1% tax on wall street trades would net trillions. No BS”
Really, what’s the gross on trades on Wall Street each year? Hundreds of trillions?
Doug Edelman commented:
At least on their website, USUncut DOES call out Obama’s Bed-Partner General Electric as a mega-corp that pays no taxes! More power to ‘em on that one, I say!!
But EVERYONE who believes that soaking the rich as a solution to our fiscal woes is even MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE, let alone politically feasible, had better read THIS!!

tommy mc donnell commented:
who in their right(not political)mind would want to give more money to politicans. haven’t they done enough damage to our economy. the left is always railing about concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, why do they keep wanting to put all of it in the hands of the ruling class. in american that is the politicans.
terry commented:
Why doesn’t a smart politician ??????? propose EVERYONE in the US pay a tax of least 5%.
That way i think there would be a way to pay down the deficit.
