Princeton Economist: Obama Campaign Is Misrepresenting My Study on Romney's Tax Plan

So you have no answer as to why you would force something upon someone who doesn't want it? I know plenty of people who willingly choose to not be part of the union, in spite of the problems it causes.

Go apply for some. Then you will see it is gone. $200 of SNAP is nothing.

I wouldn't qualify, I make too much (and I'm not going to say how much because I'd be afraid to know how little of what I make you'd actually be willing to let me keep, lol)

NOTHING is called fighting for a WAITING list.

A waiting list for what if there's zero welfare?

So in the last 10 years how long have you been on SNAP or gotten any housing or healthcare?

Well that all sounds like a good reason to avoid, as much as possible, relying on the government to provide for you.

Re: Princeton Economist: Obama Campaign Is Misrepresenting My Study on Romney's Tax P

274ina, I wonder if it's possible for you to address the topic of this thread instead of turning it into a thread on YOUR topic?

If not, then I'm inclined to report you for hijacking my thread.

Precisely why Americans are still the most productive in the world. We actually enjoy working. It is much more gratifying than feeding at the public trough. Greece and Italy are learning the hard way what its like when progressive policies bankrupt a government and they suddenly realize that all that largess has to be paid back. Unfortunately for Germany, the least progressive of the EU countries, they are left holding the bag.

Obama's liberal/progressive tax policies will drive us in the direction of Greece and the EU. Lying about Romney's plan is just a cover-up for his own failed policies.

What's the point of increasing taxes when the government just prints what it needs? You could tax every single one of us 99%, but without proper budgeting, you'll still manage to get into debt.

BECAUSE SOME WANT MORE TAXES to punish people who are more successful than they are rather than to rationally fund the goverment. 27ina's posts constantly demonstrate a desire to afflict those who are more industrious and prosperous then he is.

Taxing the rich 80% is possible too.

it would eliminate the deficte and pay all USA debt in 5-10 years......

That is a REAL plan for USA.

We have had enough of gov used to soak the poor and print money for the Rich via the MIC.

You implement something like that and how long would you expect to exist after doing so?

Ask the people in 1944 that had 94% taxes.......the rich did not leave, every one was fine........

Then look at 50's 60 's 70's......all high taxes......

If you actually did some research you would find that such confiscatory rates only applied to a very small group rather than several million that you want to loot. and the loopholes and deductions were far higher.

Your posts are obviously based on some sort of irrational hatred of people who do better than you do-sound economic reasoning has no relationship to your silly rants

Taxing the rich at 80% would be like dropping a bomb over several US cities yet everyone survives while the infrastructure is destroyed, then when it comes time to rebuild only union jobs are available - and only a limited amount based on race, religion, sexuality and sex.

I say fund a MUCH smaller government with everyone (except the poor) paying the exact same tax rate no matter how much you make (income or capital gains).


Plus, when are people going to realize that the truly rich do not care much about income tax rates...they care about capital gains rates?

Margaret Thatcher explained it best:

"Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money."

Agreed...

Tax everyone who makes 50k+ a year at the same rate (capital gains or general income)...

your existence is not a just claim on the wealth of others. when people get stuff they don't have to pay for they keep demanding more and more. and one day the wealthy won't have any more wealth to be looted and the dependent addicts will revolt

and after that, there wont be as many dependent mouths to feed or as many people who are able to feed them

The more you tax the middle class the more you hurt the average consumer..
"Job creator" is just bullpoop
Cap rates should be the same as WORKING rates

Yea, its not really about raising government revenues anyway. It will all be spent trying keep the new elites in power while they dole out breadcrumbs to their "temporary" servants. The real goal is to punish those darn rich people that make us so envious.

as you wish, I was merely responding to a post that came up when I clicked on it we all know that Obama misrepresented what the economist said
 
Re: Princeton Economist: Obama Campaign Is Misrepresenting My Study on Romney's Tax P

Actually i just watched Jon Stewart clean Romney's bull&^% plan... i mean fiscally conservative plan. It's pretty clear, Romney's either a magician or he is being dishonest. Ill post the link whenever it become available

Funny I thought the government serves all the people . If it does they shouldn’t all the people fund a government that serves them as well
I guess I need to be enlightened here… please tell me what government services, someone making a million dollars a year uses more then you do ?? If you can’t , then I need to know, why it is that a person making a million dollars a year .. Should fund anything more then you are expected too.
