Re: Dem vs Rep Tax Cut Plan in Graph form!
It seems to me that you're nothing but a partisan hack who has little fantasies in his head as to who people are.
We're done debating this until you stop with your little stereotypes.
I'm probably not as wealthy as you are, but I get by just fine thank you. I just get pissed off about falsehoods people tell about taxes. Everyone where I live talks about how low their taxes are compared to other states and how we have no municipal tax. Great! I'm all for low taxes. We also are one of the 10 poorest states in the nation with an ever-growing underclass and an unemployment rate above national average and we can't get sidewalks built in our neighborhood or get our stoplights timed properly to lower congestion because it's not in the budget.
There is such a thing as common sense government. And to get it, you have to pay for it.
Please. I'm asking you to either stop responding to me and let me debate with others who don't succumb to stereotypes and fantasies about those with whom they disagree or simply stop the asinine assumptions about who I am and what I do. If you want to know what I do - I throw an annual event with an economic impact in excess of $1 million; the equivalent of creating 30 jobs a year based on local average per capita income. That's whole lot more than a lot of people I know around here who are bitching and whining (and I'm talking about people who still have their jobs, I don't call those who actually lost their jobs whiners). Your treatment of your opponent reflects poorly upon you and it's why people like me don't like to associate with people like you. Even if I'm as rich as you claim to be one day, I won't behave the way you do toward people who work hard and simply want to be paid for their work.
Again, I'm not against tax cuts - but just like spending by government, they can be irresponsible. The 2001 and 2003 cuts (less so, honestly the 2001 cuts) were irresponsible in the face of two wars and are a large part of the cause the current deficit.
That's all I'm trying to f'ing say. They're not always the right thing to do just so people get a little more. They don't fix everything and the 2003 cuts are a PRIME example of when they're the exact wrong thing to do.
I've given you some examples of how I would cut taxes, so I'm obviously not against them. I'm just for using them in a more skillful manner to improve the overall economic picture of the nation and make sure that everyone sees growth and get back to the stated post-WW2 goal of Full Employment that seems to have been spurned recently.
Your continued delusions that I don't work and want to give all my money to the government add nothing to the debate.
Film, the tax cuts in 2001 were exactly like the Obama tax cuts and did the same thing, nothiing, they were rebates. In 2003 they were rate cuts. Do you understand the difference? Again, I ask you why are you so anti keeping more of what you earn. It seems to me that maybe you don't work, don't pay taxes thus have no point of reference?
