It's over. You lost big time. Get over it.
Heh. I had to laugh. I remember someone saying that to Harry.
Took him eight years.

Now he can gloat and, **** & moan, simultaneously. It's like he
died and
went to heaven, or wherever he would go.
Now we can look to the future and remember there will always be
*someone*
here to defend/rationalize every *O* and democrat mis-step along
the way.
Oh, and find a way to blame it on Bush and those nasty evangelicals.
The only difference is us "wingers" (moderate republicans) won't spend
the next 4 years making up stories,namecalling, and running
interference for our worst criminals, in an attempt to subvert our
elected government... We will probably buck up, pay more taxes, and
hope for the future. Time will tell.
You don't pay federal income taxes.
The problem is I haven't been paying Social Security taxes for the
last 1/3 of the year. But, once The Obama gets sworn in I'll be
paying them for the full year.
Do you know how many jobs are going to be lost because of that
increase in taxes? If you think 6.5% unemployment is high you haven't
seen anything yet.
Slightly higher taxes on the wealthy aren't going to raise the
unemployment rate.
You miss or ignore the point again. The companies that have to pay the
increased Social Security taxes will cause the unemployment rate to
increase.
I was in a new condo yesterday, still under construction, on which the
owner spent $10 million. He and his buddies aren't going to miss a few
tens of thousands of dollars a year for fairer taxes.
Again you are looking at it from the individual's perspective. You need
to look at it from the companies perspective. If the company's labor
costs increase by 10% due to increased federal state and local tax costs
that money is going to come on the backs of the current labor force in
by layoffs.
Capital improvements will be delayed do to the reduced availability of
labor to implement those improvements. Since the company will not be
buying new equipment and services for those improvements it spirals
throughout the entire economy.
The best thing for The Obama to do to get the economy moving again is to
cut all federal taxes by 50%, captial gains, income, ... If you want to
see money start moving through the economy that's the way to do it.
Sorry, I have NO trust in corporations to do the right thing.
