Dear Mr King,
Did you know we can download all of your books off of the torrents and not have to pay you jack, leaving you with less wealth so you wont have to be burdened with giving it to D.C.?
Sleep tight.

If filling out an extra check and sending it off to the IRS is too hard for him, Stephen King could also 'up his contribution' by firing his most excellent CPA and hiring one of those mall guys ...
Trust me, he'll be paying more...

So we now know how Buffet suddenly became a Hussein stooge — Buffet owes BILLIONS and is fighting it, but what does Hussein have on King?
Did Hussein’s ghost writer tell him that Stephen King hasn’t written a book in 20 years?

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he’ll feed himself and his family for the rest of his life.
But give a man a welfare check, a 32-ounce bottle of malt liquor and a crack pipe and he’ll be a loyal Democrat voter for the rest of his life.

Yo, Mr. King. There's an easier to way to send more of your money to government than trying to get the tax laws changed, and you won't even have to buy a postage stamp to do it.
Just go online to pay.gov, and you can have the government take it directly out of your bank account anytime you want.

Did anyone ask him whether he takes a tax deduction for all that charitable giving?

Please use this string for reasoned replies. Every personally-directed flame post simply reinforces King’s negative view of conservatives. He writes floridly — that’s his style. Be better here.

Mr. King: There is not enough money in the world to satisfy the behemoth of government that you and your ilk have created. You are fooling yourself that feeding it more money will clean the oceans of spilled oil, do a better job at wasting money on increasingly poor performance in our public school systems or improve the lives of people caught in the downward spiral that comes from economic dependence on the government. You and your friends have created a monster more frightening and powerful than any you have created in your novels. The only savior on the horizon is that ragtag band of "losers" called the Tea Party. You, on the other hand, are a willing servant of this voracious monster.

Stephen King has his word processor, a nice house and more money than he can use.
He is not a struggling business owner with expensive equipment, buildings, employees and debts plus a family that he is trying to feed on a very small margin while regulators and tax collectors are crawling around his house in the dark.
Write a horror story about that Mr. King.

Where is Mr. King a resident of Maine or Florida?
Rose Kennedy declared herself a resident of Florida sense 1960 because of taxes.

Conservatives believe in Charity to care for all the unfortunate in this country. And Charities can do that. Liberals believe in the government taking care if everything. I would prefer that our extra money, that which we wish to donate , go to causes and charities of our choosing. It has been said to me ‘but you aren’t necessarily donating to the right people/places’. My answer is: it should be MY CHOICE where my Charitable contributions go! They want control of everything and, in the end, that is just Communism.

Mr King does an awful lot of good locally. Lots of problems in Bangor that can be fixed with money.....just get fixed quietly.
However, let me say this. There is nothing stopping him from paying more. He can cut a check to the government tomorrow, and they'll gladly accept it.
I wonder what his well-compensated accountant, or team of accountants, thinks about his comments?

The iconic writer scolds the superrich (including himselfand Mitt Romney) for not giving back, and warns of a Kingsian apocalyptic scenario if inequality is not addressed in America. Increasing taxes on the rich is an assault on savings which is an assault on capital accumulation which is an assault on productivity of labor which means less economic progress.
Egalitarianism is an abolition of cost in the spending of income and the abolition of causality in the earning of income. It cause people to demand everything and do nothing.It is also is an assault on saving, investment, and capital accumulation.It also leads to an assault on natural rights by the increased use of force.

I’ve seen a few of the movie adaptions of his books and liked them. Silver Bullet comes to mind.
The first actual King novel I tried to read was Cell. Fascinating premise.
IMO the sentence structure, vocabulary, is eighth grade.
If that’s his usual writing, forget it. I couldn’t get past chapter 2. Might not have been that far.
