Looking out for the wealthiest 2%
A bloody good idea... 98 percent of Americans are getting a tax cut this year thanks to Democratic legislation opposed by every single Republican. The teabaggers are still upset, of course, since this is somehow more evidence of "socialism". They are distraught that the richest 2 percent aren't getting their taxes cut as well. So here's my grand idea -- how about 100 percent of the teabaggers send their tax cut to the 2 percent richest Americans who didn't get one. Sure, Sarah Palin made over $12 million last year, but she didn't get a tax cut! So the teabaggers can helpfully send her their tax cut so that she can accumulate more wealth. And in Trickle-Down fantasy land, that means more jobs for everyone. Yeay! One helpful progressive even decided to put this form together to make it easier for them to forward their tax cuts to the richest of the rich. It's a great opportunity for them to put their words into action. http://learnandteachonline.com/givetotherich/give.htm From Kos. |

You have to look at democrats for teabaggers. As for tax cuts, two ways to look at it. Is Obama and democrats realizing Reaganomics was the right idea? Or is this more BS from the left? Gums a moving different than the pen. Obama style? -- The Liberal way, take no responsibility. |

We cut the tax for everyone. My taxes are about half what they were 20 years ago and we make more money. yeah. the middle class got a tax cut of about 25 bucks. I still have every 1040 since 1984, When I get a minute I will compile a list of gross vs tax and let's see what it looks like. I know I used to always say I expected to have that be about 20%. Now it is more like 10-11%. Anyone else want to play? when's the last time they cut middle class tax rates by 70%? My Federal tax rate this year was about 8%, I do not think it has ever been that low. Most of my income these days is dividends that get a preferred treatment as they have already been taxed. The other is a couple small retirements and Social Security. And that was with the standard deduction. Even with $7k of medical and dental, could not itemize. When I was in the semi-rich catagory for income they took about 30% federally. Plus 1.5% for medicare. During Clinton years, and the dot.com boom my options remitted 35% + 1.5% to the Fed's and 10% to the state of California. Seems as us "rich:" were paying more than our share. |
