Sometimes It’s Easy: US Uncut Exposes Rush Limbaugh with One Simple Question

(Just in case someone doesn't get it, Lush Bimbo, after being caught, tries to "recover" by letting his listeners know that, indeed corporations do not pay U.S. taxes and indeed do get money back. Of course the taxes they pay over there, pay for things like free health care for all German citizens, for example. Or free college educations, paid vacations etc. While the taxes they don't pay over here get passed on to guess who? How about -->The people screaming and yelling to keep corporate taxes non-existent? Watch the video down below. Rush needs to sell a Maybach, head off to Kansas before Dorothy leaves, to see if the Wiz might just have a brain he can buy.)

Carl Gibson, one of the founders of US Uncut,just steamrolled the drugged one. It was a thing of beauty. Rush would take a punch, hit the canvass, struggle to his feet, only to be flattened again. Eventually, as is always the case when right wing talkers find their asses handed to them, Ruash cheated. He spoke over Gibson, cut him off, spewed a slew of irrelevant right wing talking points, hung up on him, and then spent the next 10 minutes flailing desperately in an effort to make his audience forget what Carl’s question was.

So… What was the question? Well, a bit of background is in order first. Did you know that 47% of American households pay no income taxes? Let me tell you, every listener to right wing talk radio has heard that tired old talking point hundreds of times. It’s the ear bug of right wing talk that establishes the foundation of their resentment politics. After all, somebody has to be paying for all those welfare checks, right?

I probably don’t have to mention it to this crowd, but it is true, of course, that Limbaugh and his lieutenants (and the cultists that tune in faithfully every day) ignore the fact that everyone that works pays payroll taxes to the feds (about 12% of every dollar they earn)… They don’t mention the federal tax on gasoline… Or state, local and sales taxes. The truth is that nobody escapes the tax man, and that many of the folks that pay no federal income taxes nevertheless lose a higher percentage of their earnings to taxes than the super-rich do.

So yeah, virtually every day, Limbaugh tells his listeners that they are paying income taxes so that leech scum underclass of America can be coddled by the nanny state. So Carl called and politely as can be, asked:
