Are You Smarter Than A Wall Street Occutard?
October 21, 2011- Some of you have expressed a little concern that me, of all people, are being a bit hard on the Occutards. Some have said I’ve been a bit strong with the name calling. Well, someone at New York Magazine wrote an article that pretty much sums it all up. Check it out: Are you smarter than a Wall Street Occupier?
- 84% of Occupiers cannot tell you what the Dodd-Frank Act is.
- 30% of Occupiers believe that top marginal income tax rate for the top 1% is 0 to 10%. And 32% believe that tax rate to be 10 to 25%. The correct answer is 35%. But that doesn’t include the Bush tax cuts that Democrats want to let expire. That would push the rate to 39.6%. And then there is this millionaires surtax. That’s another 5.6%. So we are pushing a 45% federal income tax rate for the top bracket … and a third of protestors believe this rate to be ten percent or less.
- 94% of Occupiers believe that the government spends more on the military than it does on healthcare and pensions. The correct answer is that 43% of government spending is on healthcare and pensions, while defense accounts for 20% of spending.
I still maintain they’re all a bunch of clueless fools. – JRoycroft
*For the record, I stole the term, “Occutard,” from Neal Boortz.

Revenge Of America: Democrats Panic As Republican Takes Democrat Seat From New York
Republican Bob Turner
September 14, 2011- In a shocking defeat for Democrats, businessman Bob Turner (R) defeated state Assemblyman David Weprin (D) in the special election for the House seat held by former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner (D).
Things are starting to come together in the battle to recover the White House from the disgusting Obama regime. America is waking up to the reality of what this inept community organizer is doing to destroy our country.
The New York 9th District has been held by Democrats for 93 years. This was indeed a glorious win for Republicans and Americans. When you understand that Democrats in New York out number Republicans 3-1, then you realize how significant this election was. – J Roycroft
“New Yorkers put Washington Democrats on notice that voters are losing confidence in a President whose policies assault job-creators and affront Israel,” said National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) in a statement after Turner’s win.
