Funny how big time liberals NEVER want to pay for their liberal programs... Taxes are for the little people. ++++ Bruce Springsteen: A tax-dodging farmer Monday Mar 12, 2012 - Human Events Bruce Springsteen is a man of the people. He stands up for the little guy. A regular blue-collar Joe. A union man. A bona fide working-class hero. And, when he’s not busy being all that… he’s a tax-dodging liberal hypocrite worth over $200 million who pretends to be a farmer to save hundreds of thousands of dollars on his property taxes that would have otherwise funded the welfare programs he pretends to care about. Recall that Springsteen actively campaigned for Obama in 2008, hosting free concerts that attracted tens of thousands of people in key battleground states. Springsteen’s song, “The Rising,” became a campaign staple for Obama’s speech venues and culminated in him playing for Obama’s Inauguration. And this time around, the White House plans on using the aging rocker’s new politically-motivated track, “We Take Care of Our Own,” to warm up crowds as the re-election bid kicks into high gear. So does The Boss live by the same prescriptions he and Obama wish to inflict on the rest of America? Consider the following. In 2011, perhaps wanting some local free press, Springsteen decided to write a letter to the editor of his town’s newspaper. In response to an article about tax cuts and aid to entitlement programs, the Boss wrote in to praise the piece for being “one of the few that highlights the contradictions between a policy of large tax cuts, on the one hand, and cuts in services to those in the most dire conditions, on the other.” Furthermore, Springsteen wrote, “your article shows that the cuts are eating away at the lower edges of the middle class, not just those already classified as in poverty, and are likely to continue to get worse over the next few years.” Then, with his well-honed “everyman” touch, he signed the letter along with his oh‑so-common-man-sounding town name, “Colts Neck.” A year earlier, the Boss echoed similar concerns while emphasizing his support for Obama’s constant naggings to tax the rich. “The biggest problem we have now is almost 10 percent unemployment, but we also have the disparity of wealth,” Springsteen told London’s Sunday Times. “You can’t have an American civilization with the kind of disparity of wealth we have. It will eat away at the country’s heart and soul and spirit.” Now, all this would be just fine and dandy. But there’s one small problem with Springsteen’s anti-tax-cut posturing: the man is a first-rate tax evader. Bruce Springsteen pays over $138,000 a year in taxes for his three-acre home in Colts Neck, New Jersey. He owns another 200 adjoining acres. But because he has a part-time farmer come and grow a few tomatoes (organic, of course) and has horses, his tax bill on the remaining 200 acres is just $4,639 bucks. Do the math. By being a fake farmer, the working-class zero Springsteen is making a mint by robbing New Jersey of the antipoverty program funds he says they desperately need. “I think it is unfair to our other property taxpayers that if you are a fake farmer, and that you don’t legitimately farm, that you are getting a property tax break and forcing your neighbor to pick up your tab,” said state senator Jennifer Beck. “That was not the intent of the law. It’s a violation of the public trust.” When Fox 5 New York reporter Barbara Nevins Taylor asked a lawyer for the trust that owns Springsteen’s land to comment on the Boss’s lucrative fake-farming tax breaks, predictably, the lawyer had no comment. Now, no conservative begrudges anyone—not even a die-hard Obama Zombie like Bruce Springsteen—from lowering their tax burden by taking full advantage of every tax break available to them. That’s legal and fine. But for a guy who makes hundreds of millions pretending to be a guardian of the working class, and who vocally supports Obama’s attempts to tax the rich at higher rates, to then turn around and utilize obscure tax loopholes to pocket hundreds of thousands of dollars that would otherwise go to his beloved social programs . . . well, that’s just flat-out Hollywood hypocrisy.

brucie and obumbles duet probably

[fivecatsandadog]

B.F.D. Trump rocks, and HE’S the boss. Springsteen is a has-been.

[SamAdams76]

Why post this crap here?

Springsteen has nothing but contempt for the working people of America, who he presumes to sing for. What a fraud.

[The Toll]

Great news! Everybody hates this guys guts and thinks he is without a doubt the shi**est “musician” the fake media has ever forced on the American public.

Bruce, from one musician to a pretend one, you KNOW you freakin suck.

[SoFloFreeper]

Yawn.

[SoFloFreeper]

Yawn.

[Spktyr]

Springsteen hasn’t been relevant to anyone but Boomers for a long time.

[JayGalt]

This deserves to be ignored as does Brucie.

[Regulator]

Springsteen has nothing but contempt for the working people of America, who he presumes to sing for. What a fraud

THAT is dead on.

Does he agree with overrunning the country with Mestizo slaves? So that working class people in New Jersey go hungry?

Does he agree with offshoring all industry to China so that working class people all over the country go hungry?

Which one is it, Broosie? You like them or us?

[Ouderkirk]

I never liked his music anyway, so I won’t be buying this one either

[Col Frank Slade]

Bases on his singing “talent”, Bruce should be cutting ads for Dulcolax.

[ssfromla]

He clings to his desire to be relevent. I laugh so hard at those stinky hippies.

[BradyLS]

Rent free.

Toss him out, Bruce. If you think you can.

[4yearlurker]

Bruce took some time off from his Jersey farm chores to record us all a new song. What a guy!

[SkyPilot]

I have seen Springsteen in concert 3 times (twice in the 1980s, once last September). I have listened to his music over the years.

Last December, I read his book:

I can honestly say that after reading it, I liked him a lot less.

He screwed over his past managers, his E-Street band mates, his friends, those who helped his career, his first wife, his family, his attorneys.....just about everybody got screwed over by him.

[tumblindice]

I’ve got to agree with the mob, Nick: this is warm horse droppings.
Didn’t click and glad I didn’t step in it.

On one hand, if we didn’t post occasional stuff like this from the Matrix, we wouldn’t have much to talk about; on the other, this article should be cited when anyone cucked with, “Didn’t you r-read the article?!”
Heck no I didn’t read the article.
