OH NOES, FOUR PERCENT.
The rich of the rich will have to shave four pennies off every dollar! That's enough to buy....

well, nothing. But it's still horrid! Be angry, get mad! Be a useful idiot parroting talking points when you don't know the facts!

If the bush tax cuts expire the tax rates will go back to the Clinton levels.
Remember how horrible things were back in the late 90s?
soda was 99c, gas was a buck 80, jobs were running rampant....the horror, the horror!


Except that the current prices of everything will not go down and the current job situation will not change until corporation start doing something to jump start the economy.
Throwing more money at millionaires and billionares, which mas not worked for the last three probably isn't going to start working now. A wise man once saidthe definition of insanity is repitition while expecting a different outcome.
Quote:
, More people having jobs means more people buying stuff and paying taxes. Henry Ford was brilliant, by the way.


Also, this expiration will affect everybody.
With this expiration, a person earning 40K a year will have to pay another $2000 next year. Even the poor will have to pay more.
your estimate is off by about $400. but yeah, everyone needs to help.

Oh god, that graph scored a critical hit on me.
Classic misrepresentation of values to make it seem like a difference is larger than it is. Thanks for saying that it was 4%, I would've completely missed checking what the actual difference was.
That's a common propaganda tactic some news outlets use, misrepresentations of graphs....

Are you ready to hear the fact that the debt has grown steadily under every president we've had since the Revolutionary War? That's right, America's debt started before it was even born. It all began with us asking France for help and promising to pay them money we didn't have. So what does that mean? Why, it means the debt will continue to grow regardless of who the president is. Maybe you should('ve) pay(ed) more attention in that basic high school economics class. Would've known that otherwise.

Are you ready for working conditions to become horrid?

Are you ready for the rich to pay LESS taxes?

Are you ready to have abortion officially banned nation wide?

Are you ready for groups like Planned Parenthood (who focus more on helping moms then abortion) to lose funding?

Are you ready for medicare to be gutted?

Are you ready to lose any form of a safety net?

Are you ready for Gay Marriage to be banned?

Are you ready to pay more taxes?

Are you ready for another war, this time in iran?

Are you ready for more debt?

Are you ready for less income?

Are you ready for higher unemployment rates?

Are you ready for a corporate bought and paid for president?

Well then, just elect Romney.

Romney's not going to cause abortion to be banned nation-wide or shut down Planned Parenthood or get rid of Medicare. It wouldn't happen. The majority of people wouldn't allow it to happen. Obama on the other hand is going to cause people to pay more taxes, is going to increase the debt, is going to increase the unemployment rate, isn't going to do anything for gay marriage, is going to cause less income, is going to continue to punish the wealthy for being successful and working hard for their money, and overall cause people to rely heavily on the government for everything while the nation continues to plumet because he doesn't want to actually do the work.

Wow, it's almost like you're just giving up on the idea of putting a thread together by just putting up a oneliner as your opening statement.

It's just such a bad joke... I pity those who have the ability to take you serious.

Yeah no, Obama has done things to further gay rights. Plus, the rich deserve to be taxed more. Hell, I say they should have their taxes raised by ten percent if not more.

You like to whine about "punishing success" it's not punishing success at all, it's seeing that they pay their fair share! Oh boo hoo they have to pay maybe an extra two dollars on things, big deal. Tax cuts for the rich has never gotten this country out of a recession. Throwing more money at billionaires and hoping that they would "sprinkle everything with their magical job creating pixie dust" is just a plain stupid economic policy.

It's you republicans that always like to spout the lines that "more welfare means people will be lazy and will stop working to live off of the government's teat" how is that any different than the rich having lower taxes? They do NOT use low taxes to "create jobs" they use it to buy more things for themselves or just hoard their cash. The rich having more money will not fix this country.

Do you want to know what WILL fix this country?

Raise taxes on the rich at least back to the clinton years, perhaps even a bit further. Replace Obamacare with a Universal Healthcare system covered by the government. Slash a few billion dollars from the military's budget (I'd say roughly 100 billion would be good enough) increase spending on education and healthcare. Raise the minimum wage. Seal up tax loopholes. Finally, use some of the extra money in taxes/cuts to the military to encourage studies in clean energy along with building nuclear power plants to free us from oil dependency.

And before you say "But that's socialism!" I actually am a Socialist, petty political "insults" like that wont work on me. If you wish, I'm more than willing to discuss the values of a Socialist system compared to our current one, but don't expect me to consider ideas that are "socialist" in nature to somehow be seen as "evil" in my eyes.

When the tax laws spell out how much money has to be paid in investments, remember Romney donated 25% of his income to charity. Obama does not like to donate anything.

What about school lunches??? ABC news shower high school children throwing away most of their lunch. Would you eat Machelle obama's school lunch???

Please...please, stop talking emotion_facepalm

You have the wrong idea. Cut out the loop holes in the 35%. Make it 25%. Therefore, businesses will be paying the FULL 25% instead of the on-average HALF of the 35%.

Are you talking about that 47% that don't pay any federal taxes?

You know, you should actually research statements before you spew them. Federal income tax isn't the only kind of federal tax that exists.
