On Monday (tax day!) Rush spent a good portion of the show talking about Obama's economically-illiterate and ideology-driven "tax the rich" speech as well as the DBF* media's equally illiterate and ideological tax day coverage, such as that from dinosaur left-wing propagandists Bob Schieffer and Christiane Amanpour

Rush then lays out the facts about the distribution of income tax payment in the United States. Most important is his conclusion: The reason Obama and the hard left that have taken over the Democrat Party are so hell-bent on raising taxes on "the rich" is not to balance the budget, not to reduce the deficit, and not to make sure children starve or seniors die (at the hands of those eeeevil Republicans). It is only to redistribute wealth and to buy votes with other people's money.

Don't believe him? The following 30+ minutes are a must-listen for everyone left, right, and center who needs to understand the truth.

For convenience, here are the articles Rush cites:

AP: Nearly Half of US Households Escape Fed Income Tax - Stephen Ohlemacher (April 7, 2010) But then ... AP via ABC News: Super Rich See Federal Taxes Drop Dramatically - Stephen Ohlemacher (April 17, 2011) and (same article, different title!): AP via Washington Post: For Richest, Federal Taxes Have Gone Down; For Some in U.S., They're Nonexistent

Wall Street Journal: Their Fair Share (July 21, 2008) WSJ: Where the Tax Money Is. Obama Targets the Middle Class While Pretending to Tax Only the Rich (April 18, 2011)
