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.

here PA afew years ago, people had the option of voting for either
harris wofford for senate...he supported healthcare...or rick
santorum...he supported the end of the estate tax that benefitted the
richest 2 people (not 2%, the richest 2 PEOPLE) who died in PA every
year.

santorum won.

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?

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.
