If only “US Uncut” were a sex club!

Sarah told me about an outfit called “US Uncut.” Sounds funny in a sexy way, right? It sounded funny to me too, but Sarah warned that it is “not nearly as much fun as the name makes it sound…”

Wow, was Sarah ever right!

If the people quoted here are any indication of the mentality behind “US Uncut,” they are not only humorless lefties, but they are naive beyond belief.

FLINT, Michigan — About 15 to 20 people gathered in front of the Mott Foundation Building on Saginaw Street to protest corporate America’s tax breaks.

The group, U.S. Uncut, was protesting as part of a national movement to have the U.S. government restructure how corporate America is taxed, said Virginia Hamori-Ota, a protester and lecturer at the University of Michigan-Flint.

“We’re out here to raise consciousness to our movement,” the 52-year-old said.

The protesters gathered to protest the Bank of America, which did not pay income tax last year. They said that while lower- and middle-class families struggle to get by the fifth-largest corporation in the U.S. didn’t have to pay up.

“Big companies like the Bank of America don’t pay their taxes,” said Robert Burach, a 20-year-old UM-Flint student who was one of the student leaders of the group.

Jerry Dubrowski, a spokesman for the Bank of America, said the bank didn’t pay an income tax in the U.S. because it reported a loss, therefore there was no income to tax. It did, however, pay state and local taxes.

It is very sad to contemplate that Michigan’s educational system trains minds to think like that of the student quoted, but apparently it does. It’s bad enough that so many of them voted for a man who believes that not taking more from people constitutes “giving,” but the idea that taxes should be imposed in the absence of income to tax?

Incredible.

How do they think that is possible? Might they think that because it’s a bank, it just “has money” there for the taking?

Never mind that it’s other people’s money. It’s a bank! They have money, so why shouldn’t they just pay it out? Lots of rich people put their money there, right? Maybe they can get it from them!

Just like the government money. The government has money too, right? So why don’t they just, like, pay it? There are plenty more rich people who are all greedy and everything. Just tax them!

Still in awe of the logic and intellectual acumen of this outfit, I thought to google the professor who was protesting, one Virginia Hamori-Ota. She teaches French. 

Oh, well in that case I guess that makes her an expert!
