99 Percenters, Meet the 53 Percenters
In response to Occupy Wall Street, some conservatives are blasting the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay federal taxes. Do they have a point?
By Annie Lowrey
Posted Tuesday, Oct 11, 2011, at 10:45 PM ET

The slogan doesn't exactly sing: "We are the 53 percent!" But this new campaign, a conservative answer to Occupy Wall Street, has some verve. The 53 Percenters are responding to We Are the 99 Percent, an inequality-focused online Tumblr designed to shame—or at least call out—the top 1 percent of earners who are taking bigger and bigger pieces of the pie.

The 53 percent say everyone should stop moaning, quit pointing fingers at Wall Street, and pay their damn taxes. (The name refers to the fact that only 53 percent of households pay federal income tax these days.) The brainchild of Erick Erickson of RedState.org, the 53 Tumblr features comments like: "I don't blame Wall Street. Suck it up you whiners. I am the 53 percent subsidizing you so you can hang out on Wall Street and complain." (That's from Erickson's inaugural post, by the way.)

Rhetorical fervor aside, the 53 Percent campaign does raise an interesting question: What is going on with that other 47 percent? Why are so few people paying income taxes? For the answer to that question, we turn to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, which released a study on the subject this July. (The TPC also put out the initial report with the 53 percent number.)

The short answer is: deductions and poverty. About half of households within that 47 percent do not end up paying federal income tax because they qualify for enough breaks to cancel their ...

The United States women's gymnastics team keeps winning gold, but at what cost to the athletes?
By Dvora Meyers
Posted Wednesday, Oct 12, 2011, at 04:05 PM ET

The U.S. women's gymnastics team trounced the competition in Tuesday's world championships in Tokyo, beating the Russians to win the team gold. The Americans' dominance was surprising considering the team's recent run of injuries. World vault champion Alicia Sacramone ruptured her Achilles tendon during training and had to withdraw. Another team member, Anna Li, was demoted to alternate due to an abdominal injury. And Aly Raisman competed in Tokyo despite lightly injuring her ankle just a few days before the world championships started.

Are all of these injuries merely freakishly bad luck? Maybe not. If you read the comments on the USA Gymnastics Facebook page immediately after Sacramone's injury was publicized—many of which have since been removed—you would've seen one person take the blame for all this bodily harm: Martha Karolyi.

Martha Karolyi, who has historically been overshadowed by her much louder, mustachioed husband, Bela, has helmed the U.S. women's gymnastics program since 2001. Together, the Karolyis coached Nadia Comaneci to the first perfect 10 and Mary Lou Retton to the all-around title at the 1984 Olympics. But now it is Martha who is in charge of team selection and who runs the monthly training camps at their Texas ranch.

While her leadership has been credited with the tremendous success of the women's program after the medal drought of the 1997-2000 quadrennium, she's also been criticized for the ligament damage she's left in her wake. The monthly ...

Hi, David. A few days ago we learned (through one of our favorite thinkers, Seth Godin) that a friend and colleague of his is fighting off leukemia and needs help. His name is Amit Gupta.

In the interest of The Golden Rule Act of Give > Take (I just made that up, it's not a real thing... well, I guess it is now), when you have a moment, I hope you'll look into his cause to see if it's something you feel called to help.

He's doing chemo now but eventually will need a bone marrow transplant. That's where he's looking for some help. Because he's South Asian, the chances of finding a matching donor are much more difficult (I guess you need to be South Asian to be a match for Amit).

If you're up for it, my recommendation is...
  1. Get on the Be The Match Registry (even if you're not South Asian). It's easy, painless, and free. Click here. For Amit, if you're South Asian really consider it.
  2. If you're in NYC or know someone who's in the city, you could attend this event Amit's friends are holding (it's this Friday, the 14th).
  3. Tell someone else about this (forward this email or send out one of your own with the needed links). Especially if they're South Asian.
Read more about it from Seth Godin and Amit himself.
