I have heard some convincing arguments that they should just let them all expire. Anything else will require another 2000 page bill with loopholes for someone. Why wouldn't they simply renew the cuts for all but the top %? You mean they wouldn't leave well enough alone? It is about fairness. If you want a progressive system then my cheeseburger should cost $2 and your cheeseburger schould cost $6. My house should cost $250K and your house, exactly the same and right next door to mine, should cost $2M. And, the car I paid $20K for should cost you $100K. You have the money and you can afford to pay more for these things so you should. Just take all the money over what I pay as a tax. Just think when you go to the grocery store there are no prices on items. But, when you get to the checkout counter and all of your items have been scanned, you enter your SSN, and the computer figures out what you can afford to pay and charges you that amount. Dildo-brain. Have you read any of the reports that show the wealthy gaining ground while the middle and lower income groups are losing ground? Is that what you'd call fair? Individual income over $250000 should be federally taxed at a rate of 49%. For couples who file jointly, if one of the pair has income over $250,000, there should be a surtax that taxes *that* income over $250,000 at the 49% rate. You can sure tell that this spoofer doesn't make over $250k! -- The stupider you sound, the more Republican votes you'll get |

Why wouldn't they simply renew the cuts for all but the top %? You mean they wouldn't leave well enough alone? Because nothing is that simple in Washington. To do anything with the original tax cut legislation they have to pass a new bill and to get that done they have to make 217 congressmen and 60 senators happy. These days it seems to take at least 2000 pages of unintelligible language that nobody reads, before the vote on, for that. Do you have any idea how many special interests it takes to elect 277 people to congress? The answer is in the tax code. That is why it is the size of a dozen big city phone books. Well then, I say let 'em all go fallow. It was fairer the way it was prior to Bush's tax cuts for his "base." |

Well then, I say let 'em all go fallow. That was the argument I heard. The advantage is, it requires nothing be done to accomplish it and that is what this congress does best ... nothing. The only problem is everyone will get a tax hike and that will be regressive. Personally I don't think we pay enough to support what the government spends and most of the future spending is not discretionary. On this we agree. A pleasure to be in good company. |
