If Charlie Manson ever gets out of jail, he won’t have much trouble landing a job. Thanks to Barack Obama and his left-wing wackos at the EEOC, ol’ Chuck won’t even have to explain the swastika he carved into his head—it just wouldn’t be “fair”:
In the next couple weeks, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is expected to pass guidance that will prevent employers from conducting criminal background and credit checks on employees ….this change would claim authority under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as if it’s discrimination not to want a deadbeat on the payroll or a serial killer at the water cooler. (Beware Lame-Duck Obama)
In Obama Nation, of course, Fairness Obama-style, is paramount. And everybody must pay for it except the Big Red One:
Obama Fails to Apply the Buffett Rule to Himself
President Obama chose not to subject himself to his own proposed Buffett Rule, paying only a 20.5 percent federal tax rate instead of the 30 percent rate called for under the proposal he has been talking about all week.
But, despite the constant jabbering from the Red King and his garish Queen, there’s nothing “fair” about this:
Americans Making Over $50,000 a Year Paid 93.3 Percent of All Taxes in 2010
According to statistics compiled from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by the Tax Foundation, those people making above $50,000 had an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, and carried 93.3 percent of the total tax burden. In contrast, Americans making less than $50,000 had an effective tax rate of 3.5 percent and their total share of the tax burden was just 6.7 percent.
Americans making more than $250,000 had an effective tax rate of 23.4 percent and their total share of the tax burden was 45.7 percent.
Out of the 143 million tax returns that were filed with the IRS in 2010, 58 million – or 41 percent – of those filers were non-payers. In other words, only 85 million actually paid taxes. But Tax Foundation data also shows that people who didn’t pay any income tax received $105 billion in refundable tax credits from the IRS.
From each according to his ability; to each according to his need. Now that’s fairness. That’s Obama. That’s Communism.

And the Dem/Libbers follow along blindly, bleating their Obama mantra … yes we can … yes we can … Obama gonna save us all … yes we can.
Ignorant bastards…
Yeah, Obama the pie-eyed piper.
Pie-eyed and JUG-eared… And looking worse every day… I don’t think his health is all that great… Oh shucky darn… :twisted:
The banks won’t have to worry, Bob. They already have their quota of criminals.
The government makes ‘em all look like pikers, JIM (except for the Federal Reserve felons).
Hummmm… all of this talk i’ve heard lately reminds me of some things I once read…….
“Equalization of Opportunity Board”….”If they’ll just be patient a little longer, things will improve and prosperity will return”…”I don’t want to destroy the rich, I only want to seize a little of their surplus to help the poor”.
Oh yeah…it was in a book written by that Russian girl who was raised during the Bolshevik revolution. I think it was something about Atlas.
I heard about her, BILL. Also reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron story:

Wow, is all I can say. Any Conservative who is still choking on the thought of voting for Romney should have gotton the cure reading this one. Great find.
Anybody but Obama, BUNKER … hell, I’d pull the lever for Howdy Doody before I’d vote for Barry.
With that EEOC change, schools will be inadvertently hiring pedophiles.
Well, at least one state is rehiring a gay porn actor to mold the minds of the young (Stacie Halas, Porn-Star Teacher, May be Emboldened by Case of Former Adult Performer Shawn Loftis):
There’s the “P” word again. Funny how you always see it used in connection with things that are immoral, unethical, or unAmerican…
