Yesterday, April 15th, Greg Gutfeld opened The Five with a twofer: whining that he pays too much money in taxes and smearing those less fortunate with an asinine joke that he envies them. Of course, the real payoff was his underlying boast that he makes so much and he's worth so much more than most others.
Gutfeld sneered:
Yeah! It’s tax day, or for 70 million households, Tuesday. Because for them, they pay no federal income tax so they’re left wondering why everyone’s at the post office sweating through their shirts.
I don’t blame them, I envy them. A tax form to them is like a coupon for Head and Shoulders if you’re bald. This is how dependence works, big government is grand if you don’t feel its hand. Not that I don’t love taxes, without them how would people like Harry Reid thrive? Useless, unproductive society hucksters rely on us as their welfare. Reid and his ilk look at America and see millions of wallets and purses ready to picked to perpetuate their power.
...I’m bummed that 110 days of my salary goes directly into the mouth of a blob that turns my efforts into useless poop. …It’s not about filing, but force.
Feel free to tweet Gutfeld at @GregGutfeld and urge him to put his money where his mouth is and quit his jobs. That way, both our dreams can come true.
