Pay Your Fair Share, Al Gore!


Pay your fair share Al Gore!  This hypocrite was desperate to unload his failing television network to Al-Jazeera before the Bush Tax cuts expired.  This is the same jerk who rails against the rich for using tax loopholes to avoid their “patriotic” responsibilities.  On top of that, this steward of the environment sold his network to his arch nemesis: big oil.  The Examiner reported the following:


With reports of a possible windfall of as much as $100 million from the sale of Current TV for co-founder Al Gore, it appears he may have been better off in business than politics for most of his life. Matthew Sheffield has reported for NewsBusters, Report: Gore Wanted Current TV Sale Completed in 2012 to Avoid Obama Tax Increases. In a bit of a paradox, Al Gore, as the previous politician who appears to have been among the first to have introduced the idea of blaming “the wealthiest one percent” for all of America’s ills, is making headlines with the sale of his Current TV channel to the Al Jazeera.

Forbes writes that the former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate had wanted the sale to the Qatari channel to be completed prior to December 31. That date was important to Gore due to the fact that he was trying to avoid the higher tax rates that President Obama has been insisting on for years. However, despite their best efforts to avoid paying a fairer share for taxes, Gore and his partners were unable to get the deal done before 2013. This is the same Gore who spent a great deal of his 2000 presidential campaign attacking eventual president George W. Bush for allegedly wanting to give away America’s cash to the very richest Americans.

Al Gore refused to sell Current TV to Glenn Beck because of ideological conflicts.  Apparently, Big Al has more in common with Jew hating polluters who despise America, than a devout Christian who loves his country.
