KD in CA Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 What?? One of the left wing's favorite heroes, one who goes around bashing ruthless corporate entities is now evading millions in taxes?? I'm shocked! link
IDBillzFan Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Sounds like Bono is pretty close to an Obama cabinet appointment.
Bad Lieutenant Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 So you've run out of Obama cabinet appointments so now you're resorting to feigning outrage over which European country a crappy rock band pays their royalty taxes in? Seriously??
Alaska Darin Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 So you've run out of Obama cabinet appointments so now you're resorting to feigning outrage over which European country a crappy rock band pays their royalty taxes in? Seriously?? Is that somehow different than you feigning condescension in a desperate attempt to seem above others? I guess you don't see the humor in U2 going "multi-national" to save their coin while attempting to get other governments to "pay their fair share" to end poverty. "Do as I say, not as I do, mother!@#$er."
IDBillzFan Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 So you've run out of Obama cabinet appointments... That depends. Are all the cabinet seats filled? Ron Kirk was the last one, and he owed $10,000 in back taxes, so unless all the seats are filled, I'm putting my money on "No, we haven't run out of Obama cabinet appointees yet..."
Bad Lieutenant Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Is that somehow different than you feigning condescension in a desperate attempt to seem above others? Believe me I'm not feigning condescension at all. My looking down on people like you is quite sincere.
Alaska Darin Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Believe I'm not feigning condescension at all. My looking down on people like you is quite sincere. I'll let you know when that has an affect. Please hold your breath.
Bad Lieutenant Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I'll let you know when that has an affect. Please hold your breath. It's "effect" not "affect". Most of us learned the difference between the two in grade school. How's that for condescension?
Alaska Darin Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 It's "effect" not "affect". You got me there. I screw that one up all the time - basically laziness. I had effect the first time and changed it because it didn't look right. Most of us learned the difference between the two in grade school. "Most"? Actually, that's incorrect according to just about every reference out there. You know, since they're cited as the most misused homonyms in just about every credible publication on the subject. How's that for condescension? Pathetic, but thus far that's about the standard you've set for yourself.
BuffaloBill Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 What?? One of the left wing's favorite heroes, one who goes around bashing ruthless corporate entities is now evading millions in taxes?? I'm shocked! link Classic story ... everyone but yours truly should pay more taxes .... tax the rich .... whatever other tag line you want to give it. Not suprising these guys play the game.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Why does this belong on the PPP board?
Chef Jim Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Why does this belong on the PPP board? It just shows how easy it is for a liberal to be a hypocrite. It's so hard to practice what they preach. Be green, help your fellow man, don't waste natural resources....until of course it has to do with them. And also, U2 never wrote a song that wasn't political. Irish government capped artists' tax-free earnings at €250,000 ($315,000) I think it's time to go back to chefing move to Ireland. I always considered myself an artist. But seriously what constitutes being an "artist"?

Being an artist is getting away with anything you can get away with. The Democrats are artists at running the country. President BO is an artist at ruining the economy. Dow 2500 here we come.
KD in CA Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 Why does this belong on the PPP board? Because of the high probability of agitating another newly minted angry liberal on the board. And see, right on a cue another Bishop Hedd clone shows up with an indigent reply, too blinded by his arrogance and stupidity to see the obvious point of the thread.

I absolutely see the point of the thread. You're providing fodder for your little angry white male support group that you've got going on here and judging from this thread it looks like it must not take much to get them all worked up. Good work! Unfortunately for you the country's going to hell in a hand basket and aside from you partisan douchebags nobody gives two ***** about whether or not U2 are hypocrites!

Gee, what makes you think I was talking about you? Yes, clearly everyone here is worked up except you. So much bitterness and not a Bush in sight to vent it toward....
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 At least they are ferreting them all out. This is a good era! Better than keeping it hidden. Meanwhile in the US: Now that taxes will be going up on the wealthy... Hope they put the screws to many more no matter what their political ideology is.
