WSJ's Stephen Moore Never Worked a Day


It's great to hear WSJ's Stephen Moore rant about how he doesn't believe in Democracy, and only Capitalism.

Stephen Moore was born with a Silver Spoon and never worked a day in his life, he just jumps from organization writing papers basically as a lobbyist.

He's always on Fox ranting away about the 99%.

It's great to never do any actual work and dump on others who do.

@mdiersbock He was on Bill Maher's show not long ago. One minute Moore was insisting that America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world, the next he was agreeing that some corporations pay zero. He can't even keep his lies straight, lol.

Actually, you can't keep your understanding straight.

Moore is correct in making both claims.

The high tax rate is immaterial if most companies don't actually pay it.

I can sell a $1,000 Burger all day long, but if most people buy it with a $10 Groupon, I have both the highest priced burger AND the lowest participation rate of people actually paying full price.

@mdiersbock Buying a burger is voluntary - isn't paying taxes mandatory?

Really?

That's what you got out of that analogy?

Geez...
