UNGRADUATED TAXES. I've already gone off on this more than once, but it bears repeating. Bankers on Wall Street pay lower tax rates than most car mechanics. When Warren Buffet released his tax information, we learned that with taxable income of $39 million, he paid $6.9 million in taxes last year, a tax rate of about 17.4%.
Most of Buffet’s income, it seems, was taxed as either "carried interest" (i.e. hedge-fund income) or long-term capital gains, both of which carry 15% tax rates, half of what many of the Zucotti park protesters will pay.
As for the banks, as companies, we've all heard the stories. Goldman, Sachs in 2008 – this was the same year the bank reported $2.9 billion in profits, and paid out over $10 billion in compensation -- paid just $14 million in taxes, a 1% tax rate.
Bank of America last year paid not a single dollar in taxes -- in fact, it received a "tax credit" of $1 billion. There are a slew of troubled companies that will not be paying taxes for years, including Citigroup and CIT.
When GM bought the finance company AmeriCredit, it was able to marry its long-term losses to AmeriCredit's revenue stream, creating a tax windfall worth as much as $5 billion. So even though AmeriCredit is expected to post earnings of $8-$12 billion in the next decade or so, it likely won't pay any taxes during that time, because its revenue will be offset by GM's losses.
Thank God our government decided to pledge $50 billion of your tax dollars to a rescue of General Motors! You just paid for one of the world's biggest tax breaks.
And last but not least, there is:
GET OUT OF JAIL FREE. One thing we can still be proud of is that America hasn't yet managed to achieve the highest incarceration rate in history -- that honor still goes to the Soviets in the Stalin/Gulag era. But we do still have about 2.3 million people in jail in America.
Virtually all 2.3 million of those prisoners come from "the 99%." Here is the number of bankers who have gone to jail for crimes related to the financial crisis: 0.
Millions of people have been foreclosed upon in the last three years. In most all of those foreclosures, a regional law enforcement office -- typically a sheriff's office -- was awarded fees by the court as part of the foreclosure settlement, settlements which of course were often rubber-stamped by a judge despite mountains of perjurious robosigned evidence.
That means that every single time a bank kicked someone out of his home, a local police department got a cut. Local sheriff's offices also get cuts of almost all credit card judgments, and other bank settlements. If you're wondering how it is that so many regional police departments have the money for fancy new vehicles and SWAT teams and other accoutrements, this is one of your answers.
What this amounts to is the banks having, as allies, a massive armed police force who are always on call, ready to help them evict homeowners and safeguard the repossession of property. But just see what happens when you try to call the police to prevent an improper foreclosure. Then, suddenly, the police will not get involved. It will be a "civil matter" and they won't intervene.
The point being: if you miss a few home payments, you have a very high likelihood of colliding with a police officer in the near future. But if you defraud a pair of European banks out of a billion dollars -- that's a billion, with a b -- you will never be arrested, never see a policeman, never see the inside of a jail cell.
Your settlement will be worked out not with armed police, but with regulators in suits who used to work for your company or one like it. And you'll have, defending you, a former head of that regulator's agency. In the end, a fine will be paid to the government, but it won't come out of your pocket personally; it will be paid by your company's shareholders. And there will be no admission of criminal wrongdoing.

If Herman Cain leading in the polls in Ohio is not a token black thing for whites who are racist to show the world how not racist they think they are please explain the below.
“Do you think this person could be president of the United States?” he asked. “Is anybody willing to raise your hand and say, ‘I would be comfortable if he became the next president of the United States?’ ”
Not a hand went up. Two people said they would want to know who Cain’s vice presidential running mate would be. Four said they would feel as comfortable with Cain as with Obama, but they were all Republicans eager to see an end to the Obama presidency.

If GW didnt wreck the economy and saddle us with a shit sandwich in Iraq I would go so far to say Herman Cain is the dumbest person to ever run for president.I know the democrats have had idiots like Al Sharpton run for president but fucking A he never came close to being in the lead like Cain is.First Cain says there's racist undertones to the true story of him having to settle a sexual harassment charge by paying off the white women and now he's saying that the Perry campaign is behind it.Republicans arent racist, Herman.Stick to the narrative, guy.If you're telling me that a guy who hunted at camp "N-wordhead" is racist I just don't know what to believe anymore.The hypocrisy and crumbling of the party is really a joy to watch.

We had a chance to save the country from Obama who is in the pocket of lobbyist by electing a real brother and lobbyist for the national restaurant association but now we are doomed.I was at first skeptical that a black guy named Herman was a real black like me since we all know he should be calling himself "Herm" not Herman but the above picture allays all fears of his blackitude.You fuckin' people... you have no idea how to defend a nation. All you did was weaken a country today, Kaffee(white lady). That's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son.

If I belonged to a home owners association and my neighbors proposed one of the above to be in charge of negotiating a trash pick up contract I would move.I can't even imagine the feeling of knowing that I vote along the same lines as people who would actually vote for one of those clowns for president.Is it a wake up call or do you just pretend that it never happened?

Since Herman Cains latest side piece is a black I am now ready to support him.Inexplicably this latest charge seems to be sinking him which is weird considering the other women he harassed and his elementary school level of civic and international knowledge did no damage to his candidacy.This is racism.I'm not sure how but I will figure it out.Anywho since Cain supporters-lets call them "retards"- are now being forced to find a new candidate to support and the retards are very anti Romney it really looks like Newt Fucking Gingrich will be the nominee for Fucking President of the Fucking United States.Somehow this is more unbelievable than a black guy getting elected to the same position.I feel really blessed to live in a time like this.
