Dr. James Dobson: “Ultimate Flock-Fleecer” Award Winner -Vol. 1
As you’ll see below, Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family (aka, Focus on the Wallet) are the Ultimate Flock-Fleecers.
Dobson’s Focus on the Wallet web site delights in bilking its followers (aka, victims) via unconscionable markups for the following items:
-
88,977 for a variety of books
-
173,156 for MP3 downloads
-
9,718 for a variety of DVDs
-
1,911 copies of software
One of the most disturbing aspects of Dobson’s conduct is the fact that his followers can deduct their overpriced purchases on their taxes as charitable contributions. Moreover, Dobson and Focus on the Wallet do not pay any taxes on the exorbitant profits they realize.
Even more disturbing is the fact that the targets of Dobson’s bigoted views are made to pay the taxes he and Focus on the Wallet are able to avoid. Of course Dobson and Focus on the Wallet aren’t the only Flock-Fleecers that enjoy evading taxes.
I don’t know about you, but if I was a Mormon, Episcopalian, Scientologist, an Atheist, or Gay, I’d take umbrage at being made to fund attacks on my religious beliefs and/or lifestyle by a renowned bigot like Dr. James Dobson. Well folks, I’m here to tell ya that is exactly what’s going on!
As I suspect you know, Borders is going out of business, which is costing at least 10,000 people their jobs. Of course Borders was required to pay taxes on any profits it previously realized. Likewise for Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.com, et al. And of course their customers couldn’t deduct their purchases as charitable deductions. Wouldn’t you like to have a business model wherein you wouldn’t have to pay any taxes on profits and your customers could deduct their purchases from their income tax liabilities?
Proving he’s the No 1 Phony Huckster of all time, Dobson actually believes the following facts prove he’s a real Family Values kind-a-guy:
-
$4.99 – Charges followers for a book
-
$1.00 – Amazon charge for same book
-
$4.74 – Reduced per book cost if ya buy 576 copies = $2,154 Christian screwing
Not satisfied with reaping huge profits from the sale of books he and/or his family members authored, Dobson rips-off his followers by acting as the Chief Pimp for the folks listed below. The tables can be found at the end of this article.
Dobson is a total embarrassment to all those well-intentioned Elmer Gantry Wannabees running amuck throughout the country. Appears as though Jimmy Baby is afflicted with a incurable case of Swaggart-ism!
If Jimmy was truly a Compassionate Family Values kind of guy like he laughingly claims to be, then his unconscionably priced books should include a 50% coupon for the victims next purchase of Prep H.
Congrats Jimmy; keep up the good work! We should let everyone know of your amazing record as America’s Ultimate Flock-Fleecer; you are far too humble.
