Your local taxes aren't being paid out of payroll taxes, those are property taxes. If you have withholding to pay those taxes, that is your choice, not the governments especially if you rent.

You mean the 4 million that Obama has lost since taking office and getting the car out of the ditch? Bush net job gain was 6.5 million over 8 years, Obama's net is 4 million lost in two.

What someone does with more of their income is their choice, not yours. It wasn't tax cuts that caused the financial crisis nor will it be a tax hike that gets us out of it. Those tax cuts continue to benefit you so if you are unhappy, send the money back.

Then you elected to have that withheld from your paycheck, it is not a requirement. Prove me wrong.

Welcome to the Ohio Department of Taxation

Someone does not know what they are talking about and it is not Randell

In Ohio, school districts are permitted to levy an income tax subject to voter approval. As of January, 2010, income taxes were in place in 178 school districts.

Then prove that it is a requirement that you have withholding from your paycheck for the local schools? If you are still in Ohio, I grew up in Ohio, worked in Ohio and never had withholding to pay for schools. I paid those with my property taxes at the end of the year which you can choose to do as well.

What your paycheck shows is irrelevant to this discussion which is about the Middle Class tax cuts which are Income taxes. Your local taxes have nothing to do with income. It is a state issue vs. a Federal issue. Get it yet? Nothing to do with the thread topic

You don't seem to understand the difference between Income taxes and local state taxes. Not surprising.

You do not understand that depending on the school district he resides in he can be paying income taxes to fund schools

Great, so tell me what that has to do with this thread topic and the difference between state and federal taxes. State levying taxes has nothing to do with the Middle Class tax cuts that Bush enacted.

Think we may just have some confusion with definitions. What you are calling "payroll taxes" is what many (me for one) refer to as "payroll deductions".

Payroll Taxes is commonly the term used to refer to the subset of Social Security and Medicare. As opposed to Income Taxes (Federal and State).

May be a local nomenclature thingy....
 
Conservative said:
Apparently so, but what does that have to do with the thread topic and raising taxes on the rich?

exactly, what did it have to do with the thread other than serve as a diversion....again, the tax cuts are ongoing, so, where are the jobs? remember, results matter!! if the tax cuts are still going on, there should be tons of jobs out there for all those, as you have put, are lazy and living off the government teat...results matter!!

Now, how many school Districts in Ohio? It does seem that you have a choice of where to live within the state thus a choice whether or not to pay withholding taxes for schools. Every school district has a different rate and thus it is your choice. Where is that choice when it comes to Federal Income taxes which this thread is all about?

The real mystery in America is why any of the other 98% fall down on their knees to service the wealthy against their own self interest. You cannot really blame Turteldude for defending his fellow billionaires. He lives there up on the big hill in that 27 room McMansion with the Olympic sized swimming pool filled with $100 dollar bills and he wants to keep it that way. I can see how he defends his life style, why he wants to keep his servants and all that goes with it. I can understand why he makes such frequent posts here defending the rich when his fellow wealthy send him nice checks for carrying the water for them. No problem there.

But why would somebody making 40 or 50 grand a year struggling to make ends meet stick their neck out to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to wealthy people? Do they simply like the taste of kissing the wealthy rears? Do they labor under the delusion that somehow, someway, someday they too will become the next Bill Gates and then everybody else can pucker up behind them?

I have this no account brother-in law who has gone from one lowest rung on the ladder sales job to another over the last 35 years. He never advances and never has two nickels to rub together. He has no retirement package as he has changed jobs at least twenty times and his wife is even worse off than he is. But he listens religiously to Limbaugh, thinks that Beck does not need a toilet in his house because the great god is above such human problems, and defends the rich with the zeal that Turtle does right here.
stupid stupid stupid. Do you think the rich love such people as their equals or do they laugh at them with thinly veiled contempt?

Its a strange strange world we live in Master Jack.

They defend them because they don't know better, they don't read in between the lines, and Republicans are very good at making their message clear and God-fearing.
