Is It Fair?

Stephen Moore hits one out of the park in the Wall Street Journal in A Fairness Quiz for the President, 2/7/12.

Excerpts:

Is it fair that the richest 1% of Americans pay nearly 40% of all federal income taxes, and the richest 10% pay two-thirds of the tax?

Is it fair that the richest 10% of Americans shoulder a higher share of their country’s income-tax burden than do the richest 10% in every other industrialized nation, including socialist Sweden?

Is it fair that American corporations pay the highest statutory corporate tax rate of all other industrialized nations but Japan, which cuts its rate on April 1?

Is it fair that roughly 88% of political contributions from supposedly impartial network television reporters, producers and other employees in 2008 went to Democrats?

Is it fair that the three counties with America’s highest median family income just happen to be located in the Washington, D.C., metro area?

Is it fair that wind, solar and ethanol producers get billions of dollars of subsidies each year and pay virtually no taxes, while the oil and gas industry—which provides at least 10 times as much energy—pays tens of billions of dollars of taxes while the president complains that it is “subsidized”?

Is it fair that some of Mr. Obama’s largest campaign contributors received federal loan guarantees on their investments in renewable energy projects that went bust?

HKO notes:

This article is so strong that even generous excerpts do not do it justice. Please read the whole thing. Stephen Moore wrote the absolutely perfect ad for the GOP nominee, whoever it is.  If they would put their money behind this message they would win in a landslide.

And this post script: 36 Obama aides owe $833,000 in back taxes
