Drudge Shines Light on Ignorant Media - The Rush Limbaugh Show
March 24, 2014
USH: I think the mainstream media is pig-ignorant of practically every discipline except party discipline. Now, here's basically what happened. Matt Drudge is a self-employed small businessman.
As a result, Matt Drudge pays himself.
He does not have an employer. Therefore, he does not the get paychecks that contain all kinds of withholding for taxes and Medicare and FICA, Social Security, and whatever else. He has to pay all of his taxes separately and independently because they're not deducted. As such, as a small businessman, Matt Drudge and millions of others just like him -- including your harmless, lovable little fuzzball host -- pay our taxes every quarter. …
… A White House aide set off a stampede of liberal media criticism for Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge over Obamacare -- but his critics don't seem to understand how small businesses pay taxes. The brouhaha started when Drudge tweeted, 'Just paid the Obamacare penalty for not 'getting covered'... I'M CALLING IT A LIBERTY TAX.' Jesse Lee, the Director of Progressive Media at Barack Obama's White House, responded that that was a 'Flat lie, no fee for previous year,' adding, 'Scary how much influence he once had.'"
So Obama's own acolyte, Obama's own White House smear merchant, doesn't even understand. Matt Drudge is not paying last year's taxes in April, like you will be. He is paying the first payment the government is due this year, as is everybody else. When Matt Drudge files his return, if he waits 'til April 15th -- or maybe he's already done it. Let's say he hasn't. If Matt Drudge files his April 15th payment, he's already paid his taxes in four statements.
