Wait, I just got it. It's a joke that paying taxes is akin to getting anally raped. See, it's funny because Crowder is a leech who thinks he deserves all the things taxes give us without actually contributing.

Although now that I think of it, does Crowder even make enough to be taxed? Maybe he's just one of those idiots who doesn't deduct enough so he always owes.

The meme maker does not understand how taxes work.


EDIT: regarding flex accounts, I'll explain for any non-Americans or people who are unfamiliar with them; their benefits seem difficult to quantify, but basically you set aside a portion of your income to go into what functions as a checking account. However much you put in gets deducted from your taxable wages, so it's pretax money. whatever you buy with that account has a discount of whatever your effective tax rate is. So if you're effectively being taxed at 25%, it is as though everything you buy with that account is 25% off.

If you were gonna buy medical stuff anyway, it adds up to be quite a savings.

You can also get one for dependent care (ie, day care, nanny wages). Interestingly these enormous tax breaks are only available through employers and are typically only offered in white collar settings. Another way the working class gets screwed.

Yes, a fair vocal few seriously think that and consider it one of the reasons why we shouldn't care about the environment: the end of days will come before any of that starts to bite us in the rear end.

Why wouldn't they? They get pulled right up into heaven without having to die and also get to watch all of us horrible sinners get tormented by things like scorpion/locusts with lady faces.

EDIT: I was raised Southern Baptist and I can say from experience that most the older crowd in that church pined for the apocalypse to kick off and destroy this world. It was one of Brother *Name Withheld*'s favorite preaching. Next to hellfire and brimstone of course. God, his services were terrifying.

Yeah it's a pretty sharp contrast to that one 13 year old CPAC superstar who started reading more and more outside his conservative comfort zone and when he grew up completely changed his mind and was ruthlessly mocked by the right wing for it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Krohn

quote:

My involvement at such a young age happened for manifold reasons: I always enjoyed writing (I had gotten my first paid writing gig when I was 9), I enjoyed politics (or at least the theory of politics), and I grew up in Georgia, where conservative ideologues dominated the radio and the populace. Mix those things with the naïveté of a kid and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a fresh, right-wing pundit. My star role worked out well for a while. I didn’t have to question any of the talking points I’d made in my speech, and I got to drone on and on about them at numerous Tea Parties and other conservative gatherings. I felt justified in my beliefs if for no other reason than no one actually told me I was wrong. Instead, men like Bill Bennett and Newt Gingrich hailed me as the voice for my generation and a hope for America.

The Daily Caller, for instance, wrote three articles about my shift, topping it off with an opinion piece in which they stated that I deserved criticism because I wear “thick-rimmed glasses” and I like Ludwig Wittgenstein. Why don’t they just call me “four-eyes”? These are not adults leveling serious criticism; these are scorned right-wingers showing all the maturity of a little boy. No wonder I fit in so well when I was 13.

I was tired of the right using me as an example of how young people “get” what they’re talking about — when it’s obvious that I didn’t get what I talking about at all. I mean, come on, I was between 13 and 14 when I was regurgitating these talking points! What does a kid who has never paid a tax bring to the table in a conversation about the burden of taxes? What does a healthy child know about people who can’t afford healthcare because of preexisting conditions? No matter how intelligent a person might be, certain political issues require life experience; they’re much more complicated than the black and white frames imposed by partisan America.

Cowger has just gone all in and capitalized on the fact that his youth makes him famous. He got big time recognition claiming that Obama turned his friends gay, and rather then a psych eval he was heralded as a god-fearing conservative with all the right ideas.

To paraphrase some others previously, there are some in the "Christian," circles who really do want the End Times to come - thanks to whatever they've consumed and internalized as their beliefs, they feel like they will be okay once Armageddon comes to town.

These same people (or ones similar to them) were going on about not helping out with the Ebola outbreak as it surely wouldn't bother them.

Its simultaneously amusing and frightening to see how short-sighted, selfish and willfully ignorant these people are.

Is this sort of thing a U.S. only type of thing?

Come on man, if you're gonna send her into a chicken joint, at least make it Popeyes.
