(AP) WASHINGTON - As Monday's tax filing deadline nears, ponder this: The super rich pay a lot less taxes than they did a couple of decades ago, and nearly half of U.S. households pay no income taxes at all.
The Internal Revenue Service tracks the tax returns with the 400 highest adjusted gross incomes each year. The average income on those returns in 2007, the latest year for IRS data, was nearly $345 million. Their average federal income tax rate was 17 percent, down from 26 percent in 1992.

Predictable: Right-Wing Media Respond To WI Supreme Court Election With Baseless Voter Fraud Allegations | Media Matters for America



According to Hasen: ""No Proof Of Any Systemic Fraud Has Been Unearthed." In an April 6 Politico column, election law expert Richard Hasen discussed the "razor-thin" electoral results in Wisconsin and noted:

A recount in this race, which some view as a referendum on Gov. Scott Walker's anti-union policies, seems inevitable, and it is not clear who will ultimately take the seat on the Wisconsin bench. But if this expensive and nasty race ends up in protracted litigation, it could undermine public confidence in both the judiciary and Wisconsin's electoral process, especially if, as I expect, supporters of Prosser raise ugly allegations of voter fraud."

Poll: Florida GOP Gov. Scott's Net Approval Rating Plummets http://tpm.ly/gW7eXE ^@jonterbush

"According to results of Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday morning, the percentage of Floridians who now approve of Gov. Rick Scott's (R) job performance has remained unchanged since two months ago. But at the same time, the percentage who disapprove of his job performance has more than doubled, putting his net approval rating deep underwater.

In the latest poll, a 48% plurality of registered voters now disapprove of how Scott has handled his job, a huge leap from February when only 22% of voters disapproved of the new Governor's job performance. Meanwhile, 35% of voters currently approve of Scott's job performance, the exact same percentage who gave Scott a thumbs up two months ago."

Rich hide $18 Trillion hid in offshore tax shelters, everyone else gets budget cuts. http://bit.ly/eqbYpRhttp://bit.ly/eqbYpR thx @canadauncut

"Magnitudes: dirty money, lost taxes and offshore"

"The size of the offshore economy is hard to measure precisely, as a result of its fragmented nature, difficulties involved in defining it, and a pervasive culture of secrecy. International efforts to measure it often focus only on narrow aspects of it. For example, much effort is expended on measuring and tackling terrorist finances or (to a lesser extent) international bribery, but little attention is paid to problems on much, much larger scales -- such as commercial transfer mispricing abuses."

Nationwide Students Oppose Budget Cuts | The Nation

Nationwide Students Oppose Budget Cuts | The Nation

Posted on Twitter: thenation The Nation
The #student-led movement opposing budget cuts is growing in America. http://bit.ly/eUDk2t #USuncut #austerity

"Students at Arizona universities rallied to oppose $235 million in cuts to their universities’ budgets, and a labor-student coalition in Florida led about 300 protesters through the streets to protest Gov. Scott’s proposal to cut 5 to 10 percent (about $3 billion) from public education.

People often ask me why students in the US haven’t organized a massive resistance like the one we’re witnessing in the UK. My answer to that is there is resistance in this country. It isn’t centralized and overwhelming…yet, but it is most definitely rising to the surface and beginning to spill over."

The One Opinion Piece the New York Times Didn�t Want You to Read

"In the weeks since Governor Walker introduced his reforms to balance the budget and protect middle-class taxpayers the New York Times has repeatedly used its editorial pages to opine on the reforms. All told there have been at least seven editorials, op-eds or columns in the paper about the Wisconsin reforms.

Below is the Op-Ed that Governor Walker wrote that the New York Times chose not to run:"
