The Associated Press (AP) is reporting Republican Tea Party (GOTP) presidential hopeful Michele “Krazy” Bachmann is telling college students in politically important Iowa that all Americans should pay taxes since they all benefit from services such as roads and bridges, national defense and the courts.
You know what? That’s one of the first things I’ve agreed with her on, but lets be fair, all Americans should pay their fair share of taxes Krazy.
Bachmann evidently decided it was time to talk about the economy since she’s plummeted into political oblivion trailing way, way, way behind other contenders in Iowa; however, there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell she’ll win any of the caucuses or primaries, much less the GOTP nomination.
Krazy won an early test vote in Ames in August but ever since she’s been steadily slipping further and further behind as the fickle GOTP uber-conservative electorate first rallied around Perry and then Cain. Somehow she’s hoping to climb back to the top of the political car wreck which is the GOTP nomination cycle, especially as “the Reverend” Rick Perry appears to be drunkenly stumbling through speeches and Herman “Pizza Man” Cain tries to get past allegations of sexual harassment.
Reportedly, an outline of her speech shows Krazy being prepared to criticize the current federal tax code as too complicated and corporate tax rates as unreasonably high; basically saying she’ll raise taxes on the lower classes while proposing increased tax breaks for the wealthy and for corporations; wow, another uber-conservative nothing tax plan pandering to the ultra wealthy and the economic ignorant of the Tea Party base.
