Tom Barnyard was ranting on how anyone making $125k or more would pay 80% in taxes.

[Deja Q]

80% of their income.

Bitching and whining that they no longer want to earn that much money, how about those of us who don't mewl and bleat in front of a microphone (and golf) all day who make less than half? And seeing wages in so many industries go down, why should I care about him? I mean, I don't make $125k so why should I be angry? And I do a fuck of a lot more than he does. Hell, a starving gerbil smoking crack does more...

Half the time I like the guy, the other half the time he's just proving half his brain cells are composed of feces.

1. That whole morning crew is a bunch of ignoramuses

The nitwitted pronouncements coming out of those mouths each morning . . . it's someone different every few minutes.
I still can't figure out who has what role. Other than Terri Trane who is the token bubble-headed FoxNews-quoting bimbo.
Sansevere is a dick but I can't believe he is still there.
A lot of people here at work listen to them. I listen too, so I know what talking points I am going to be hit with.
This started a couple years ago when one of the radio crew said they drive by a Section 8 housing complex and sees SUV's, Cadillacs, etc. in there and his goddamned taxes are subsidizing that?!?
Bunch of idjits.

2. I'd say pretty much ALL morning crews are a bunch of ignoramuses

3. I see Cadillacs and SUVs too...

Of course, the Caddies and SUVs are 15 years old, poorly maintained, rusty, and tattered, but HEY, they're still Caddies and SUVs, right???

4. Most people don't understand marginal rates

It's like they can't wrap their little pinheads around the concept, so when they hear "80% tax bracket,"they think, "The poor guy is going to have only $25,000 left to live on."

5. What's amazing is Banard will get his listeners to feel outraged about this

And I'll bet it's safe to say most those who will be outraged are probably not even making the median income.

6. and he's making a LOT more than $125K...$1MM a few years ago

mostly from the voiceovers.
Haven't listened to that lying liar in years.
My Repub coworkers were upset when they found out he was broadcasting from FL and not Golden Valley. It was kinda funny (I s'pose they also thought Dubya would've had a beer with them too...)

7. No wonder he gripes, moans, whinnies, and mewls as often as he does!

Sorry barnyard, most of us in the real world won't ever make half of what the figures you gripe about. Lump it or look at the entire economy and learn how to think. Best of luck. It's hard to teach an old sleazy skunk any tricks.

Sheesh. Engineers, support personnel, and others make far fucking less than his mouth of hot air... I know he'll complain about ___ at times... Pity nobody's allowed to talk when he fails, which quite frankly is far, far, FAR more often.

$1 mil for talking into a microphone - and he's as stoic as they come; no verbal inflection to make me want to go buy a _____ he's talking about (and likely has never used either unless he's ultra-rich and has his garage loaded with all that garbage he peddles.)
