A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN (author unknown)

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of water, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to ensure their safety and that they work as advertised. All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air.
He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression . Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below- market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university.

Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day. Joe agrees: 'We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives!

After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.'

He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry. No his bacon is laced with preservatives to make it pretty longer. In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. But the names are so complex or misleading Joe still hasn't a clue what's in the shampoo. Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for the laws to stop industries from polluting our air. This killed the jobs of thousands of good hard working family men and literally destroyed complete cities.He walks on the government-provided sidewalk to subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work.More Gov't subsidies....but certainly not fee by any means. It was actually mandated tha the city build the sidewalk and taxes went up once again. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor. (And he gains 25 lbs. riding rather than walking and eventually will die of heart attack at the age of 45)

Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Actually Whether union or not Joe's predecessors got these perks for him. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. Yes...fear tactics always work. Ask Jesse Jackson or ACORN. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune. This all comes out of his employers pocket. And no he definitely shouldn't lose his home because of some "TEMPORARY" misfortune. He should have also obtained accident and health insurance with his loan. It is noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression . No FSLIC was for savings and loans. FDIC insures bank deposits. It should be eleminated. Then people would investigate the bank thoroughly before depositing a dime with it. This would ensure that banks remain strong. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below- market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.Joe doesn't have a clue his mortgage was sold to Fannie Mae and wouldn't know who Fannie Mae was if you asked him. Evidently the student loan was not used for education or Joe would not be living beyond his means with the potential of foreclosure or repossession. Joe also forgets that his in addition to his federally subsidized student loans, he attended a state funded university. YES...state funded.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards to go along with the tax-payer funded roads. That's why it cost Joe twice what the same car would have cost in Europe.A majority of the roads he travels are funded by taxes on fuel. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification. Actually it was FDR. He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.No FDR actually got the idea from a beer drinking, sausage eating German who created Social Security in Germany in the 1800's. Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.

And then comes the beloved "Federal Income Tax" booklet in January. But Joe may only pay 20% FIT. WalMart paid 37%...Exxon Mobile paid 46% FIT plus another 12.5% royalty to the govt for leases. More in taxes than the bottom 51% of all taxpapers added together.

I was before the water Mike. Republicans don't sleep in until 6 a.m. Most of us have already had a few cups of coffee long before then.

TB we going to go through this again, According to what your buddy Aplus posted, Exxon Mobil only pays something like 21% in taxes here in America (that is of course after the tax breaks) the rest is paid to foreign nations.

The top rate for U.S. federal corporate taxes is 39.25%.

That's the second highest of any nation besides Japan, which is 39.54%.

Most countries are lowering tax rates to be competitive for businesses.

France is 3rd with a 34% rate I believe.

Putting Exxon's Tax Bill In Perspective

Over the last three years, Exxon Mobil has paid an average of $27 billion annually in taxes. That's $27,000,000,000 per year, a number so large it's hard to comprehend. Here's one way to put Exxon's taxes into perspective.

According to IRS data for 2004, the most recent year available:

Total number of tax returns: 130 million

Number of Tax Returns for the Bottom 50%: 65 million

Adjusted Gross Income for the Bottom 50%: $922 billion

Total Income Tax Paid by the Bottom 50%: $27.4 billion

Conclusion: In other words, just one corporation (Exxon Mobil) pays as much in taxes ($27 billion) annually as the entire bottom 50% of individual taxpayers paid in 2004 (most recent year available), which is 65,000,000 people! Further, the tax rate for the bottom 50% was only 3% of adjusted gross income ($27.4 billion / $922 billion) in 2004, and the tax rate for Exxon was 41% in 2006 ($67.4 billion in taxable income, $27.9 billion in taxes).

They are paying more than their share. Bad part about it is that most have an oil company in their mutual fund and/or portfolio and the dividends are being taxed AGAIN!!! DOUBLE TAXING!!!!!!

That is the first honest comment you have made. I always get a giggle when Moonbats drudge up a bunch of phony indignation and say "Are you questioning my patriotism?" and I say, after observing your behavior the status of your patriotism is no longer in question.....
