looks like the right wing is trying fora propaganda score


What part was wrong. You posted the 2010 rates with the Bush tax cuts
in place. If they expire the numbers I posted are right for 2011.

uh no. your source is wrong. there is no tax policy organization
saying that your right wing bull**** is right

no one agrees with your bull**** source. sorry

You are talking about what the rates ARE NOW, not what they were
BEFORE THE BUSH TAX CUTS and what they will revert to on Dec 31 2010
What part of this is so hard for you to understand?

They will still be at a historically very low rate, and no one is suggesting
a complete repeal.

Ok Bob - fair enough - that's your opinion - I respect that.

Explain this then. What represents more of a tax burden on income - a
5% raise from 10% to 15% at the lower end of the taxe base or a 4.9%
increase from 35% to 39.6%?

and this is not going to happen. not a single independent tax source
has ANY information that this is going to occur

Bob that is exactly what happens if they do not come up with a new tax
bill between now and December. It is already the law. The tax cuts
simply expire.

So, do you think the Republicans are going to sit on their hands if the
Democrats in control of Congress allowed that to happen? Come on. You know
there's going to be some monkeying around with them.

Drop the five point increase on the lower income groups, and raise the
4.6 point increase on the higher income groups to 14 points.

except, of course, the tin foil hat crowd

and if you put lipstick on a pig...

it's their job to let the ruinous tax cuts for the rich expire and
keep them for the middle class

guess you kinda forgot obama said that's what he's gonna do...the
right wing press has you in a tizzy, doesnt it?

Sounds reasonable, esp. given the problems we're facing.

Now who has the crystal ball?
If past performance is any guide, this will be a 2000 page tax bill
that nobody will actually read until about June of 2011

No crystal ball needed. The fact is that they would still be at a low
historically. And, again, nobody is talking about letting it expire in its
entirety. That's just right-wing paranoia. There's even talk among Democrats
of leaving in some of the breaks for the rich.

Again if past is prologue, the republicans will stall, obstruct and
generally be a pain in the ass.
Truth be known they want the tax cuts to expire so they will have a
club to use next year.

Exactly, and the Dems will not let that happen.

You will certainly not see anything happen until after November unless
they simply rubber stamp an extension which is what my crystal ball
says.

Get out the Windex! We'll see. Even an extension would prove my point.

for 30 years the GOP has masked their tax cuts for the rich as tax
cuts for the middle class

if the dems ever got the communication skills of the GOP, people would
be hunting conservatives with dogs
