southsider2k5 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Interesting note I saw on another site speculates that the deal was structured with the 100 million up front as to avoid the Obama tax increases. By taking the money today he would save $17 million in taxes as opposed to if Obama passes the tax increases he has proposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 so, how much will he be making after Obama gets into office and raises taxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 15% less from the sounds of it, just on income alone, and then when he invests part of it, probably 15% less then that because he's going to raise capital gains too from the sounds of it. And then, add abother 3.325% when you add the FICA adjustment. Oh, and then when he dies, his heirs will get the s*** taxed out of that, too!! But it's ok, the asshole makes too much money anyway, and those poor people need it for government provided (insert program here) because the government should take care of us all by redistributing wealth from those evvvvvvvvvvvvil f***ing rich people!!!

Balta1701 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well, I'm sure everyone here then is more than happy to have their taxes raised so that we can keep Rush's low and finance all the invasions he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 We do not pay taxes to pay for any government program. If we actually paid for government programs, why would Bush cut taxes while increasing spending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was $5000 per station, I don't think the stink would be half as much as it is. The clear channel stations would certainly be charged something several times higher.

True, but do you think any would be paying "Rush Limbaugh" money for Rush's Spirit of the Radio? The Beatles catalog = zero value. Rush = $400,000,000.

The Beatles catalog = zero value. Rush = $400,000,000. Thanks to ASCAP/BMI licenses (which in 2000, cost a small commercial station in a market of less than 50,000 people somewhere in the neighborhood of $12,000), Beatles catalogs are already valued and paid for. Here's something to consider: Rush Limbaugh's show comes with fees from over 600 stations, and sells commercials that play on over 600 stations every weekday - and establishes a radio listening audience that is eclipsed only by Morning Edition on NPR.
