tax guts GROW the deficit!
 
right wingers say that cutting taxes on the rich is a way to build the
economy.

turns out it doesn't. and it's right wing economists who say
so....while right wing politicians like george bush and mitch mcconell
and the tea baggers sell snake oil, they are bankrupting the american
middle class while bankrolling the rich

More Obama covering his ass.

With 650,000 no longer looking for work last month, there are 650,000
fewer taxpayers. Given this has been going on for two years, many
millions have dropped out of the taxpayer base.

Government revenue has plumeted. Even corporate taxes are less as
earnings are generally lower.

But the real cause is he huge trillion dollar per year balloon of
governemnt spending.

Obama doesn't know squat about economics, just how to manage and control
sheep.

Government has liberals, idealists and lawyers, but where is the common

There are actually a lot fewer taxpayers than that. Because of the gap
at the bottom when the "underemployed" will drop below the threshold
where they pay income tax. It was 43% in 2009, I bet that number will
be well over 50% in the 2010 tax year.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/...n4945874.shtml

I think that is why they want to let the Bush tax cuts expire. They
keep saying this only affects the super rich but it is also a rise of
rates across the board. Everyone's tax bill will go up.


Everyone's? Nope. You're not willing to pay for services.. fine. I am. Just
don't dial 911 and don't use the roads, and to heck with libraries...
they're for poor people. Don't need to worry about fires and paramedics.

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.

I have every tax return since 1983 in my files along with the 1040
book. Do we really want to run the numbers for some typical working
class people before and after the current rates came into effect?
I know my taxes are the lowest they have ever been and according to
the people here I am "working class" not "middle class".
My taxes would go up about $4000 if I used the Clinton tax tables.


The Obama plan is to let tax cuts expire for those making over $250K. Do you
make over $250K? If so, then yes, you're taxes will go up. However, the
right wing would like everyone to believe that it will be an across the
board tax increase, which is hogwash (unless the Republicans continue to
obstruct meaningful legislation).

I am not worried about paying more, I think our rates are too low but

Obviously the Dems will put forward a bill to keep rates the same for

unfortunately the american electorate is as dumb as the proverbial

planning to vote for the GOP because he ran out of benefits and they
hadnt been extended.

he was too stupid to realize it was the GOP that torpedeoed them.

fortunately, the electorate blames bush, not obama, for the depression

I think that is why they want to let the Bush tax cuts expire. They
keep saying this only affects the super rich but it is also a rise of
rates across the board. Everyone's tax bill will go up.

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.



Jackoff believes that john "i was for it before I was against it" of
senilityville and sarah "yes I am as dumb as a doorknob but I do rile up
the base" palin would have been better.


Harry, fat buddy, wasn't it John Kerry, a 'merican democrat who said "I
was for it before I was against it"?

Well, you are wrong, the lower 50% will pay it all. Folks who make over
250,000 aren't going to give anything up for the new taxes, they will
just increase their profits and fees to the rest of us until the whole
tax burden falls completely on the lower 50% of income earners. Do you
really think if you raise corporate taxes they are just gonna' reach
into their pockets and pay the difference? Of course not, they will just
increase rates to make up the full difference, every penny of it. In
theory it may sound good to the truly stupid, but in fact, the whole tax
burden will eventually come from those of us who make less than
250,000...

Hey, that gives me an idea.
Raise taxes on the low incomes.
Eliminate taxes on the high incomes.
Then the low incomes won't have money to spend.
But the high incomes will be rolling in dough.
So then they just start giving away stuff to the low incomes.
The low incomes will feel real grateful.
The high incomes will feel real generous.
Very nice feelings all around.
I think that's a good platform for the GOP.
But maybe they already have that, but without the giving stuff away
part. They should adjust that.
I been thinking about all this talk about 43% not paying Fed income tax.
Looks like 50% of all taxpayers have less than $32k income.
But $32k - that's a whole lot of money right there.
Why ain't these cheap *******s paying Fed income tax?
Especially all the ones of them making $10-15k doing them flunky jobs so
they can get their kids fat on junk food and sodee pop.
Then their standard and dependent deductions for expenses adjusts their
gross to nothing, so they skate paying Fed taxes.
What's wrong with these deadbeats?
That's why we should flip the tax structure.
Everybody happier, and healthier kids.
Yep, a nation of boaters.

Jim - Tosk makes see things in a different light.

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.

actually they're not paying more. the US federal tax code is VERY

making the median income in this country of 60K

Actually they are. A 35% swing isn't "slightly", no matter how you
spin it.

*and they're certainly not a victim like someone

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

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

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?

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.
