AFL-CIO Chief Trumka: “I Pay More Than My Fair Share” Of Taxes…

To summarize, Trumka calls for raising taxes on others but claims to be paying “more than his fair share.”

(CNS) — AFL-CIO President Rich Trumka says that he should be paying more in taxes — but added that he’s “sure” he’s paying more than his fair share.

CNSNews.com asked: “President Obama and the White House have defined the wealthy as those who make above $250,000 a year. You made, with benefits, according to UnionFacts.com, $283,340 in 2010 —”

Trumka interrupted: “That includes expenses by the way. They distort those little things. But what’s your point?”

CNSNews.com continued: “— and therefore (are) part of the wealthy according to Obama. Should you as AFL-CIO president pay more in taxes?”

“Yes,” Trumka said.

When asked if he thought he wasn’t paying his fair share, Trumka said: “I pay more than my fair share, I’m sure.”

    “You made, with benefits, according to UnionFacts.com, $283,340 in 2010 ”

    Just for starters: I guaran-frackking-tee you that Trumka made more than that, in total compensation and benefits.

    And isn’t it funny how fluid this whole definition of “fair” is turning out to be, mmm?

    All of those calling for fair share never quite seem to be able to define fair. Only that it isn’t a flat tax, it doesn’t involve making those who pay nothing pay anything and includes breaks for those who vote and donate Democrat.

    He says that “They distort those little things” – funny thing for him to say…….

    Time to cut Union dues. All his expense are picked up by the Union drones forced taxes (dues).

  5. Dapandico says:

    The AFL-CIO president also said he thought that if left to their own volition, people would not pay taxes voluntarily.

    ——————————————
    Same as Union dues??????

    You can’t have it both ways, Trumka. Even though you are a lying, sticky fingered, murdering toad. Obama says so….. You’re not paying your ‘fair’ share.

    Why does it always seem obama is standing behind these men?

    It’d be interesting to find out how much of the “missing” money from those failed green businesses that the taxpayers funded or maybe even MF Global went to folks like Trumka, i.e. payoffs for support or toward Obongo’s reelection efforts and such.
    Trumka’s a hoodlum. See here for more on his past: http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1630

    “We could never have pets in the house when Richie was a little boy – they would always end up dead for no apparent reason.” – Mother Trumka, in her memoir “My Boy, The Fire Hydrant.”

    There is probably no truth to the rumor about Trumka’s familial relationship with Josef Stalin.

    it’s just coinky-dinkly that they have the same nasty pasty-faced communist affect

    What an idiot!

    Why would you ever say that being in your position and holding the principles you do with all this going on? Even if you thought it was true, hell even if it WAS true (and it probably is), it makes absolutely no sense at all to make a public statement like that.
    What were you thinking it would do? Make you more popular & influential or less? More respected by those you say you represent or less?

    Fools everywhere! Surrounded by fools I tell you!

    Let’s face it… the only time this greasy, blobiferous shitbag will have paid his “fair share” is when he’s occupying his enormous cathedral organ sized casket.

    Gang theology 101…deceive, deny, delay, destroy…

    Psa 36:1…Transgression (like an oracle) speaks to the wicked deep in his heart. There is no fear or dread of God before his eyes…For he flatters & deceives himself in his own eyes that his iniquity will not be found out and be hated…the words of his mouth are wrong and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise & to do good…He plans wrongdoing on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject or despise evil.

    Fair Share? Okay, let’s start dragging IRS forms and see what a “fair share” is. I’m really tired of hearing that term bandied about lying politicians and union thugs without explaining what the “fair share” is and how they arrive at that determination.

    In the old days, sharp reporters would dig around and find the graft, kickbacks, and non-cash payoffs like paid vacations disguised as “fact finding” trips, booze, women etc. Of course the MSM no longer has real investigative journalists and besides, they are mostly on the same team as Trumka.
