What End of Bush Tax Cuts Means for You [W: 1475]

after watching Hussein Obama spend 6 trillion in 3 years I beleve he will do or say anything to raise taxes..
you must have one hell of a man crush on obama to keep calling him 'hussein'...lol
 
and I thought you righties wanted everybody to have "skin in the game"?

The poor are much better off paying 5% more of their income instead of proposed drastic cuts by Conservatives to food stamps and Medicaid in the name of "deficit reduction" or in plain speak tax cuts for the rich.

Don't you know the poor are paying nothing now.........If the tax cuts expire they will then pay 15%
 
Read the article from the left wing pub Yahoo news......

Yahoo news is predominantly the Associated Press wire feed. They generally don't generate much news writing themselves. Some but not much. So go ahead and bash the AP news wire as being liberal because Rupert Murdoch doesn't own them I suppose.

NP did you know that americans with no income dont pay taxs...did you know the poor that dont earn enough to pay for a chithole apt dont pay any taxs...did you know that GE made 14billion profit and paid no taxs...as well as the top 10 corporations paid SQUAT...for an intelligent guy why is your thinking so damn narrow man
 
We need graduated tax increases across the board...from the top down and we need entitlement reform...What we dont need is what Romney and Paul Ryan and the far right teaparty wants...tax cut for the RICHEST americans and Corporations and take it off of everyone else...thats JUST WHAT WE DONT NEED.

If the tax cuts expire eveyone pays more taxes....

Isn't that what you want? The poor to pay taxes? If not then vote for Willard Romney.
 
You don't care if you pay more taxes.......Just attack me........
i'm fine with the bush tax cuts expiring, i'm willing to put my money where my mouth is, i've called for the double barrel approach or raising taxes/cutting spending to start getting our fiscal house in order. i'm absolutely, positively, 100% fine with it...as for attacking you...nah, not an attack, just wishing you would grow up and knock off the 'hussein' crap, quite frankly you need to act your age, which isnt 14...everyone knows what you are trying to imply with it. i'm also quite shocked at the blatant disrespect you have for the commander in chief, as you are military.
 
If the tax cuts expire eveyone pays more taxes....

They've already been working on setting aside reserving the tax cuts for the middle and lower classes... kind of refutes this statement.
 
If the tax cuts expire eveyone pays more taxes....

As it should be...I have absolutely no problem paying more when they expire and I will pay more....listen NP....how can anyone with a straight face say...that Paul Ryans plan is right for most of america...when he kills medicare raises costs through the roof...destroys Social Security for younger generations...and then GIVES A FULL 30% tax cut to the richest americans and corporations...Let the damn bush tax cuts expire and take all LOOPHOLES that allow the rich to pay nothing and corporations to pay nothing....take them...and you watch how fast we get out of debt....
 
Not the legislature, the will of the people........

They're only on the ballot because of the legislature. And only because they're afraid the governor will veto it. It's an end run around how laws are made here.
 
I want the tax cuts extended for everyone.........

Not a problem I agree with you....I DONT want more tax cuts for the pigs at the trough and I want the loopholes closed that allow them to pay nothing no matter what the tax rate is....tax rates mean NOTHING to the rich...absolutely nothing...they have loophole after loophole that enables them to pay NOTHING...or next to nothing...why cant you acknowledge that truth....none of the conservative tax cut for the rich cheerleaders ever acknowledge those cold hard FACTS...

The effective rate at the bottom may be 0 dollars but the tax rate is 10%...and will be 15% if the bush tax cuts expire.

and if the bottom rate goes away then the poor will pay 15% exactly what they did prior to the cuts only then under President Bush we did not have to pay $4.50 a gallon for gas.......

Furthermore, abolish all not-for-profit status', tax them like businesses, remove the Housing Tax Credits and put a tax on derivatives. Then you start having sound fiscal responsibility.

This is about your "50% not paying taxes." Do you want to raise taxes on that 50% of the population? If you do, why would you be against Obama doing it?

You seem to have a very short memory on gas prices.
 
Obama said he would do that last time too. Didn't work out that way.

If the tax cuts are supposed to be permanent, why did Bush and the Republican Congress who passed them in the first place set them to expire?

Because Democrats would have filibusters the cuts if he didn't put a sunset in them
 
Then Willard is your man, if you can trust where he says he stands on it.

What we know is the Obama record and that record is a disaster but records don't matter to the Obama robots.

Almost 50% of INCOME EARNING HOUSEHOLDS do not pay any FIT, so is ZERO their fair share of running the U.S. Govt?

And exactly what does that do to cut the 3.8 trillion dollar spending spree if this Administration? You see when you compromise with a liberal you always get the tax cuts but NEVER the spending cuts

I don't. Taxes don't scare me much. And it doesn't bother me if I pay more than someone who makes less. And it's not Randel's fault you seem obsessed with Obama. You should face that.

And apparently you don't care how your tax dollars are spent but I have yet to see you explain why we need a 3.8 trillion dollar Federal govt?
