Amid All the GOP Gloom, the RNC Is Outraising the DNC?


Rich Galen, now a Thompson guy, notices that while the Democratic candidates are outraising their GOP rivals by a wide margin, the RNC is outraising the DNC by a considerable margin. In "fundraising for the cycle, the RNC has out-raised the DNC about $45 million to about $28 million. A fundraising edge for the GOP of $17 million." In terms of cash on hand, it's $16 million to $3 million, once you account for the DNC's $2 million in debts.

Evangelical Christians who are tired of being marginalized by an increasingly secularized culture

Normal folk who are concerned about the United States being over-run by Islamo terror types

Small business men who want to keep the lower taxes they got under Bush

That's probably 110 million or so people, at least....

Oh fer fux sake, evangelical Christians are NOT marginalized, except in their own minds.

Normal folk who are concerned about the United States being over-run by Islamo terror types

Or those who buy into the mantra:

TERRA! TERRA! TERRA!

Small business men who want to keep the lower taxes they got under Bush

I think you meant to say, "rich people who are benefitting from the Bush tax cut."

Do you always use your tushy as a reference manual?

Well, there are the rich and then there are those who are earning wealth. The majority of those earning wealth and hiring people are the small busines entrepreneurs. Those who already have their money and are just sitting on it are irrelevant to income tax cuts. If you want to rob them, focus on dividend and inheritance taxes.

You want those small business guys to take their tax savings and keep on trucking because they know what to do with the extra money and what they do with it is good for everyone.

I'd rather have a dollar in the hands of a small business entrepreneur than in the hands of any other person because that one dollar will be turned into two faster than you can say, "Hey! I've got a great idea!"

If only that were true.

Similarly, the President has repeatedly invoked the benefits his tax cuts, and especially his proposal to reduce the top income tax rate, provide to small businesses. Yet, according to Treasury Department data, the top rate reduction benefits only two percent of small business owners. In other words, 98 percent of small business owners are not in the top tax bracket. In fact, many more such individuals receive the Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-income working families than are in the top bracket.


Furthermore, the Administration’s definition of “small business owner” includes anyone who earns even one dollar of income that is classified as business income under the tax code. Under this definition, one need not actually run or own a major share of a business to be classified a business owner. This definition includes wealthy individuals whose primary income does not come from small business ownership or operation but who do some consulting or invest in real estate on the side. Many of those in the top tax bracket are better characterized as very-high-income individuals, such as corporate executives, with some business investments.

Well, aren't you just the objective one.

I didn't realize we were playing, "Spread the Stupid Propaganda about the Other Side." I'll take, "Bush is worse than Hitler" for $400, Alex.
