The person I described is a victim as well. And, they are already paying more. It's the ultra-wealthy you are wanting to target. Income tax rates isn't going to touch them, but that doesn't fit in your rant. |

The person I described is a victim as well. And, they are already paying more. actually they're not paying more. the US federal tax code is VERY SLIGHTLY progressive. and they're certainly not a victim like someone making the median income in this country of 60K It's the ultra-wealthy you are wanting to target. Income tax rates isn't going to touch them, but that doesn't fit in your rant. again, someone has to pay. the middle class is tapped out. we need to double capital gains. but the GOP wont let that happen...and that DOES fit into your rant |

The person I described is a victim as well. *And, they are already paying more. actually they're not paying more. the US federal tax code is VERY SLIGHTLY progressive. Actually they are. A 35% swing isn't "slightly", no matter how you spin it. *and they're certainly not a victim like someone making the median income in this country of 60K They were victimized proportionally the same amount. Actually, someone with more investments lost even more, so the less you made the less you lost. It's the ultra-wealthy you are wanting to target. *Income tax rates isn't going to touch them, but that doesn't fit in your rant. again, someone has to pay. Therein lies your liberal problem... it's tax, tax, spend, spend... whatever it takes to buy the votes. Someone else always has to pay. *the middle class is tapped out. we need to double capital gains. but the GOP wont let that happen...and that DOES fit into your rant For the last four years the house and senate have been under demoncratic control... but no capital gains change has happened. Look like the limo libs don't want it either. Else, they could have done it at any time. Tacked it on to the health care bill, right? |

Yeah, the poor people. Sure is easy to blame them! But those rich people, gotta give them all the breaks. Again you miss the point. If you rescind the Bush tax cuts, you also raise the tax rate of those people near the bottom. For example the 10% rate is gone, replaced by 15%, the same is true of all the rates. the bush tax cuts would remain for people earning less than 250K the rich, who destroyed the economy, would start to pay their fair missing Someone making 250K is not rich, had nothing to do with the economy issues, and is already paying more in taxes than others who earn less. So, you make more than $250K? I doubt it. |

I am not worried about paying more, I think our rates are too low but that is not the way this has been sold. People are being told the Bush tax cuts only benefited the rich. That is a lie Sorry, but you're just wrong. See previous comment. Are you talking about "the Bush tax cuts" or some "to be announced" new plan? We don't have a clue what the new plan will be until it is passed and signed but we do know what happens if they simply let the current cuts expire. It is like the people who are slapping each other on the back over the Fin Ref without actually knowing what is in the bill. I am sure in a year or two we will be hearing about bad things that were slipped into this bill at the last minute, like Bob's rant about the Commodity "reform" that allowed these problems in the first place. Which no one is talking about doing. Nice try. |

Obviously the Dems will put forward a bill to keep rates the same for those making less than $250,000. That's an Obama promise. Then watch the Reps try to block that. Obama can't lose. Except with the Fox "news" channel viewers. You're either joking or incredibly naive. Jim - Sometime politician. Especially when the writing is on the wall. unfortunately the american electorate is as dumb as the proverbial post. Correct, Obama is the proof of that. fortunately, the electorate blames bush, not obama, for the depression If true, more proof. Huh. Obama is proof that once in a while, people make the right choice. |
