Bill, you just can't argue with the liberals. They have a spin for almost
everything, and when they don't they just revert to name calling. Heck,
look at Olbermann the other day? Wow, I've never seen such name calling
on the airwaves. He's a perfect example.

Besides, if we all just gave up on trying to argue with them, maybe this
place would revert back to being more boat oriented? It's a lot like
filtering harry. Since most folks here now have him KF'd, he's as good as
castrated (if he wasn't already) g.

You'll note that not a single person refuted what Olbermann said. Not a
single thing.

Why? Not worth the time or energy. His comments the other night are the
perfect example
of the "wrestling with a pig" analogy. He makes a bunch of claims, unique
Olbermannisms, then his huge, elitist ego expects a response. No halfway
intelligent person would bother and it offends him.

I watch his comedy show occasionally for entertainment value only. I laugh
at him.
There are other liberal thinkers that I have much more genuine respect for.

"Mike's" area of boating expertise was one post in which he said he took
his kid water-skiing. If the little **** weren't attacking those who
disagree with him politically, he'd have nothing to post.

Heh.. that would be a pretty big assumption. The previous post indicated
"those making less than $65K" vs. "the rich."

Again, the assertion was the cap gains rate only benefits the rich. I
guarantee you there are a lot of people around here who are not rich
and benefit from this

a few. but MOST middle class people do NOT report most of their
income on 1099. they report it on w2.

that is they work for a living.

NOW you right wingers are saying all americans are retired.

perhaps you have the unemployed that you right wingers caused confused
with retired folks

Bzzt.. wrong.

1993 saw a huge new tax on the wealthy with two new brackets at the
top.

yeah. thanks for supporting what i said

How can you spin two new tax brackets at even higher levels as "the
rich got a HUGE tax break as their incomes skyrocketed"?

because the marginal rate of tax increase above the middle class is
regressive. the BIGGEST INCREASE in marginal tax rates comes in the
middle class tax band

wofford ran on health care in PA

santorum ran on repealing the estate tax, which would benefit the
richest 2 people who died in PA everyear

santorum won

Speaking of little dicks, flajim*, you do realize that if yours were
bigger and still worked, your wife might not be cruising the produce
aisles, looking for bumpy cucumbers and zucchini.

* *All* the right-wing ID spoofers are flajim, whether they are or not.
Flajim in a moment of sobriety admitted to being an ID spoofer here.

Ahh... now it's starting to make sense. You want the nominal tax rate
to be 15%, so the progression for the next bracket would be about 18%
for you. Then you'd like the next brackets to ramp up even more so
they'll make up for what you'd fail to pay.

Sorry, the nominal rate is 25%, the 15% and 10% brackets are breaks
for the poor. You'll have to keep contributing your share.

"Feeling overtaxed? Under the U.S. income tax system, most of the
taxes collected are supposed to be paid by the people who make the
most money. Thanks to President Bush's tax cuts, that is exactly the
way the system works, says the U.S. Treasury Department.
According to the Office of Tax Analysis, the U.S. individual income
tax is "highly progressive," with a small group of higher-income
taxpayers paying most of the individual income taxes each year."

http://usgovinfo.about.com/od/income...hopaysmost.htm

•In 2002 the latest year of available data, the top 5 percent of
taxpayers paid more than one-half (53.8 percent) of all individual
income taxes, but reported roughly one-third (30.6 percent) of income.

•The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 33.7 percent of all individual
income taxes in 2002. This group of taxpayers has paid more than 30
percent of individual income taxes since 1995. Moreover, since 1990
this group’s tax share has grown faster than their income share.

So stop your whining.

Because they were laughing so hard at him, that's why. He came
completely un-hinged.
