He had on Keith Ellison, the congressman from Minnesota. Stuart Varney said, &#8220;Let\u2019s deal with the fairness question. I want to talk to you about the case of Phil Mickelson, California resident. On every dollar that Phil Mickelson makes, he has to pay 63\u00c2\u00a2 to the state and federal governments in income taxes. Is that fair?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>ELLISON: &#8220;Fair&#8221; calls forth the question, &#8220;Compared to what?&#8221; It\u2019s fair compared to allowing somebody who is surviving on minimal income like a senior citizen to cut home heating oil, which is what we\u2019re gonna have to do if the sequester goes into place. It\u2019s fair compared to asking a poor family on food stamps to get by with less. It\u2019s fair compared to say we\u2019re gonna cut down on the investment that we make into innovation, medical innovation for brand-new industries to put even more people back to work. So it\u2019s a matter of, &#8220;Compared to what?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_72499\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MickelsonFoxMontage.jpg\"\/><BR\/>RUSH: Now, I just love the way this floating definition of &#8220;fairness&#8221; gets employed by these people on the left. &#8220;Fair compared to what?&#8221; How about fair compared to Phil Mickelson? How about fair compared to how hard he works? How about fair compared to the irresponsibility with which government is spending and wasting the money it\u2019s collecting from him? Anyway, Varney said, &#8220;So you think that 63%&#8230;?&#8221; The way to look at this, folks, is you throw the 63% number out. Phil Mickelson keeps 37\u00c2\u00a2 of every $1. That\u2019s the way to put this in perspective. That\u2019s the way to understand this. Keith Ellison just said: Yep, it\u2019s totally fair that Mickelson should only keep 37\u00c2\u00a2 of every dollar that he earns, and he wasn\u2019t finished&#8230;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>ELLISON: Asking Phil Mickelson for able to say more money so that women and children can have a meal, is fair. Yes, I do. I think it\u2019s fair to ask Phil Mickelson for a little bit more money to make sure that we can continue to invest in infrastructure in this country, and for making that groundbreaking research and medicine is paid for, to make sure that people who have the basics, that college education is affordable. It\u2019s fair to ask Phil Mickelson to help with that. As a patriotic American, I\u2019m sure Phil Mickelson would agree.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Of course.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K8q9wQQ38fM\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a patriotic American,&#8221; Phil would agree. Do you realize how absurd this is? We are in debt to the tune of close to $17 trillion. We have spent $17 trillion that we don\u2019t have over the course of this nation\u2019s history. But in the last four years, we have spent $6 trillion of that $17 trillion. Obama is the owner of $6 trillion of spending that we don\u2019t have. We spent $6 trillion! I want you just to visualize that. We have spent $6 trillion more than we have. We have an annual budget deficit of $1.3 trillion. We are spending money like it has never been spent before. We\u2019re spending money two and three and four times on the same items. Food stamps? There are 48 million Americans on food stamps!<\/p>\n<p>There was a story in the newspaper the other day.  A woman was robbed.  She was robbed of her purse.  The purse cost $400.  In the purse was $800 of cash, a bunch of credit cards and her food stamps.  So a woman with a $400 purse, $800 in cash, and a bunch of credit cards, is also on food stamps.  There are a whole lot of people on food stamps that ought not be, but the government is soliciting for them.  They\u2019re advertising for them.  In Mexico we\u2019re running radio commercials advising future immigrants how to get on food stamps once they get into America, once they get into the country. <\/p>\n<p>So we\u2019re spending 3.5 trillion dollars a year and only two trillion of it do we actually have.  The rest we\u2019re borrowing or printing.  And yet here comes Keith Ellison, &#8220;Yeah, Phil Mickelson needs to pay more so that we can continue to invest in infrastructure. So that we can make sure that groundbreaking research in medicine is paid for.&#8221;  The government doesn\u2019t do any of that.  Drug companies engage in their own R&amp;D.  But let\u2019s say the government did pay for it, the government\u2019s spending all that anyway.  The government\u2019s spending all of that and more, but they\u2019re not spending much in infrastructure.  What they\u2019re spending it on to me is irrelevant here. <\/p>\n<p>What Keith Ellison is doing is trying to make it sound like we\u2019re cutting back on all these items. We\u2019re cutting back on infrastructure.  We\u2019re not.  We\u2019re cutting back on research and development.  We\u2019re not cutting back.  We\u2019re not cutting back on college education.  It\u2019s getting more expensive.  It\u2019s not becoming more affordable.  Phil Mickelson\u2019s money and everybody else\u2019s tax money is being irresponsibly spent.  In fact, the point of raising taxes any more is not even about the money.  It\u2019s about punishment.  It\u2019s about punishing success.  It\u2019s about making sure that people do not become wealthy.  It\u2019s about making sure that people cannot build a nest egg.  That\u2019s the purpose of taxation. <\/p>\n<p>Here we have a member of Congress who actually wants to make the case that it is patriotic that somebody should only keep 37 cents of every dollar that they earn under all of these false premises that we\u2019re not spending on infrastructure, that we\u2019re not spending enough on medicine, that we\u2019re not spending enough on infrastructure, and we\u2019re not spending enough on tuition. And it\u2019s Phil Mickelson\u2019s fault to boot, and therefore Phil Mickelson would be patriotic and he would agree that it\u2019s necessary that he should pay 63 cents of every dollar so that these expenses don\u2019t get cut. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, there aren\u2019t any cuts.  There aren\u2019t even any imaginary cuts anymore.  This is just flat-out absurd.  This is bordering on banana republic totalitarianism, this kind of thinking, these kinds of accusations, these kinds of misrepresentations.  Low-information voters actually think, when they hear stuff like this, that we\u2019re cutting back on all these items.  We\u2019re cutting back on children\u2019s health care. We\u2019re cutting back on research and development.  It\u2019s all because of the Republicans, too, don\u2019t you know.  The Republicans are causing this.  The Republicans are cutting all this spending.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=13430\"><img id=\"eZObject_72496\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaUncleSamWoodsMickelsonPIX.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There isn\u2019t any spending reduction.  We\u2019re spending money we\u2019re never gonna have.  And it\u2019s Phil Mickelson\u2019s fault, by the way, and other rich people that all these items are being short-changed.  And they\u2019re not being.  This stuff irritates me like I can\u2019t begin to tell you.  This kind of demagoguery, this kind of lying to the American people, misrepresentation of things that are happening.  In the meantime, the amount of spending we\u2019re engaging in is unsustainable and it is causing great harm to the very fabric and foundations of this country.  The institutions, traditions and all that that have made this country great, they\u2019re all under assault now, and they\u2019re still not happy.  With all of this spending, it\u2019s still not enough.  They still have to lie and misrepresent and try to tell people that all these precious items are being cut back, and until we take 63 cents from Phil Mickelson and others like him we\u2019re not gonna be able to continue to fund these programs. <\/p>\n<p>If we in this country only spent what we collected, like everybody else has to in their life, we would still have plenty of money to do everything we\u2019re doing now.  If we only spent two trillion &#8212; do you realize, in 1987, the federal budget was $900 billion.  Now we\u2019re up to two trillion, 3.5 trillion. The budget\u2019s 3.5 trillion dollars, this is absurd.  And in the midst of all this they insult our intelligence and tell us that we\u2019re not spending enough yet.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Keith Ellison.  We need 63 cents of every dollar Phil Mickelson makes so that we don\u2019t cut back on infrastructure.  We just authorized $50 billion for recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast.  Fifty billion.  That\u2019s infrastructure.  We\u2019re not short-changing anybody in this country on anything.  The only people being short-changed are the people that produce. <\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another thing that is just really gnaws at me.  Who the hell is Keith Ellison to dictate all this?  He\u2019s a congressman from Minnesota.  Big whoop.  Where is the constitutional authority for some hack federal politician to judge what anybody should or shouldn\u2019t have?  Who is he to get to sit here and say, other than he was asked a question, but he\u2019s one of 435 members of House.  Big whoop.  So Keith Ellison thinks it\u2019s unfair for Mickelson to pay anything less than 63 cents out of every dollar.  Where\u2019s his constitutional authority to judge what anybody should or shouldn\u2019t have?  What do you mean, fairness in compared to what? <\/p>\n<p>So he comes up with his own definition of fairness. He comes up with his own theories on who ought to have what and who ought not have what and who has more than what they need, and then be able to use the law to impose that.  I\u2019ll tell you, folks, it irritates me, all of the lying and all the misrepresentation, the demagoguery that goes into all of this.  We\u2019re not cutting back on anything.  And the sequester is not that big of a cutback on anything, either.  We\u2019re not reducing spending.  We never have reduced spending and there\u2019s no reduced spending on the table.  Nobody\u2019s even proposing any.  And this guy runs around and tries to make people think that we\u2019re gonna close down colleges, we\u2019re gonna close down hospitals, we\u2019re gonna close down repairs on roads and bridges. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_72512\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaLyingtoAmerica2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Obama does it all the time, using all of this fear. <\/p>\n<p>Now this newspaper, it\u2019s Brunswick, Georgia.  Here\u2019s the little blurb in the newspaper.  &#8220;A woman said she noticed her purse missing from her car just before 5pm Sunday.  The car was parked at her residence on Hornet Drive.  The woman said the car had been locked, and the purse was in the back seat.  The purse was valued at $400, her wallet was valued at $200, and she said there was $800 cash in the purse, according to the police report.  Also missing were the woman\u00c2\u2019s food stamp cards.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, poor woman.  Oh, isn\u2019t it just the case, folks.  A $400 purse, $200 wallet, $800 in cash, and her food stamp cards are missing as part of the theft.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Emily in the state of Washington, great to have you on the program.  Hi, Emily.  I\u2019m glad you waited.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hi, Rush.  It\u2019s an absolute honor to talk to you.  I\u2019m so excited.  My dad\u2019s been listening to Rush as long as I can remember. So I guess I\u2019m technically a Rush Baby, but I have three babies of my own, so I am fully engaged in this battle in trying to get conservative values back on to the platform for most of America.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Excellent.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  So my question is, as I was awfully discouraged of the election results, I\u2019m just trying to hone in on something I can do, and it\u2019s like &#8220;who can we reach?&#8221;  So I\u2019m wondering, isn\u2019t there some classification of Obama voters, they\u2019re not on the government dole, they just aren\u2019t rational. They\u2019re just not seeing the rational, reasonable conservative principles.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Yes.  This is one of the reasons &#8212; it\u2019s a great question &#8212; it\u2019s one of the reasons that I remain optimistic.  I do not believe that every Obama voter voted for this.  I don\u2019t believe people, a large a number of them, I don\u2019t believe that a large a number of people who voted for Obama actually voted for what\u2019s happening and what\u2019s going to happen.  I think there were other factors that led them to it and they\u2019re gonna be shocked and stunned.  That\u2019s what I firmly believe. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here is Mike in Troup County, Georgia. It\u2019s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Hello. Dittos from one of those Tea Party kooks.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_72513\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushCONGRESS.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Ha! Thank you, sir, very much.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I\u2019m calling \u2019cause it seems that the crass media has not really understood that Phil Mickelson\u2019s actions were not against the federal government but against the state of California, because it doesn\u2019t matter whether he moves to Texas or to Alaska or Timbuktu, New Jersey. His federal taxes are gonna be the same. He was just getting rid of that extra 13%.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, not anymore.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: (chuckling) Well, not anymore. But that was what he was attempting to do. So when Ellison says that Phil was going to hurt all these federal programs, what he was planning on doing would not do that.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, this is actually an excellent point. What\u2019s happening here, folks, is that our buddy Mike from Troup County, Georgia, is reacting to the demagogue, Keith Ellison. In those two sound bites we played, Keith Ellison was with Stuart Varney on Fox yesterday on the Neil Cavuto show. Keith Ellison said (summarized), &#8220;You\u2019re damn right Mickelson owes the 63%! You\u2019re damn right! We need infrastructure. We need investments into roads and bridges. We need investments into medical R&amp;D.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What Mike\u2019s pointing out is: &#8220;Wait a minute! Mickelson wasn\u2019t talking about abandoning his federal taxes. He was talking about leaving California. So none of Keith Ellison\u2019s precious federal programs would be impacted.&#8221; That\u2019s an excellent point. Now, not to throw water on your great call (because it\u2019s a great, great point), but that\u2019s not why Phil Mickelson got in trouble. Phil Mickelson got in trouble because he dared to voice what he was thinking. Phil Mickelson got in trouble because he made himself a perfect target for the left who wants to intimidate people into accepting their policies.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another lesson here, too, and it\u2019s exactly what you say.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the concept of federalism. Mickelson, as is everybody else in the country, is totally free to leave California and move somewhere else where the tax burden is less. (Of course, he can\u2019t now, because all hell descended on him when he voiced nothing other than the fact he was thinking about it.) But you can\u2019t leave the country. If you don\u2019t like the taxes in New York, you can move. If you don\u2019t like them in Montana or wherever, you can move. But federal taxes, you can\u2019t do anything about, other renouncing your citizenship and giving up your passport.<\/p>\n<p>Most people are not gonna do that.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_72514\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushLiberalismVSAmericanism585.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>So in this case, people said, &#8220;We don\u2019t want that kind of freedom! We don\u2019t want people thinking that way. We don\u2019t want people even pondering not paying taxes, and we don\u2019t want people like Mickelson giving other people any ideas.&#8221; So a guy like Mickelson, who is totally beholden to public opinion because he endorses products, must be liked. He\u2019s a spokesman for many corporate sponsors, so he\u2019s totally beholden to public opinion. Phil Mickelson must be loved and adored. Phil Mickelson cannot in any way approach controversy or he will lose his sponsorships.<\/p>\n<p>He will. Others wouldn\u2019t, but Mickelson would because of factors. So he had to immediately apologize, he had to immediately rein it back in, and now he\u2019s almost stuck in California, \u2019cause now if he does move, they\u2019re gonna tar and feather him as an ingrate who\u2019s somebody shirking their responsibilities, somebody who\u2019s failing to meet their patriotic duty. (interruption) What, Snerdley, what? (interruption) No, no, no. (interruption) Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Snerdley says, &#8220;I thought the rich had all these loopholes.&#8221; The asset wealthy have loopholes. There aren\u2019t any loopholes for the income earner today. There aren\u2019t any loopholes.<\/p>\n<p>If your income is earned, your tax rate\u2019s what it is. You can\u2019t deduct your mortgage over a million bucks. You can\u2019t deduct your charitable or any other deductions over your tax rate, and that\u2019s gonna be even less. There\u2019s not a whole lot you can do with earned income. Now, you can structure as much income as possible. You can file as a sub-S and say that 90% of your income is bonus and not pay your full Medicare share, but that\u2019s about it. It\u2019s the asset wealthy who have all of the carve-outs. The people who are wealthy because of their annual income, there\u2019s not much left. There aren\u2019t that many tricks. There aren\u2019t that many loopholes.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s another piece of demagoguery, folks.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t doubt me on this!<\/p>\n<p>There just aren\u2019t that many loopholes anymore. That\u2019s just typical Obama, left-wing demagoguery to accuse highly successful people of &#8220;shirking their responsibility,&#8221; when a loophole is nothing other than something that\u2019s in the tax law. A loophole is now associated with cheating, is it not? Your average low-information voter hears the words &#8220;tax loophole,&#8221; and says, &#8220;Ah! It\u2019s a way for the rich to get out of paying that I don\u2019t have.&#8221; No. It\u2019s just the law. You know what a loophole is? It\u2019s the mortgage interest deduction. That\u2019s a loophole. It\u2019s a carve-out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the government deciding that we\u2019re not gonna tax certain expenditures.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s put in there for the housing market and the lending institutions and all that, and it may go the way of Sam Hill. They may take that away, but that is an example of a loophole. So every one of you who deduct the interest on your mortgage, you have a tax loophole! A loophole is simply tax law. It\u2019s not cheating. It\u2019s not finding a way to not pay your taxes that nobody\u2019s ever seen. It\u2019s not something that you get away with that you don\u2019t get caught doing. It\u2019s nothing illegal. But that\u2019s how they\u2019re all portrayed. It\u2019s how tax loopholes are portrayed. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Last night on the Fox News Channel with Neil Cavuto, Stuart Varney guest hosted.
