GOP Tax Jihad Continues

Yesterday, I was held up in line at the grocery store. An overweight woman with a young child, less than 6 months, struggled to pull two baskets through the line.

First basket had what appeared to be essentials - meat, vegetables, milk. She paid with her Lone Star Card.

She then pulled the second cart through with nothing but candy, cake, wine and cigarettes. She pulled out a crisp $100 out of her cash roll to pay the $73 she owed.

I am against any new taxes as long as I pay so much only to see it wasted by others. Is it Jihad? No. Is it war against waste, I can only hope so.
 
Satch, what's amazing to me is that Obama can try to force millionaires to rake over big money while BHO dips into that money for lavish vacations. His Hawaii trip alone cost $4 million. I don't have a problem with our presidents having vacations. But when he talks about how much he wants to help the poor then he spends money like that on just one of his vacations, then how can anybody take him seriously. He's averaging a vacation every 2 months, Do you know how much one of his vacations can help the poor? I remember in the good ole days when our Presidents spent most of their time on vacations at Camp David.

Not to mention we are funding his campaign as we speak. He's not even leading anymore. He's just worried about getting re-elected. While campaigning he's dividing and conquering. We have never had such a divisive Presdeint ever. He is intentionally trying to divide. Every Presdient has a tough job bringing the sides together, but this President is doing this intentionally.
 
Stop wasting your time. You'll never get Satchel to answer a question, he only redirects or responds with another question. He knows you are right but cannot bring himself to acknowledge that BO is anything but The One.
 
I support spending cuts and revenue generation. Since your side constantly cites majority disapproval of Obamacare as the reason it should be overturned, why don't you support passage of the Buffet rule for majority rule reasons?
 
^Satch, I'll support broad tax reform - not just the Buffet rule - but only when it's packaged with major spending cuts. Do you have a problem with cutting federal spending?

First you decide what you need to spend (ways). Then you decide how to raise the money (means). We have no national budget. The Buffet rule if a joke.
 
The Buffet rule is just stupid. Why does Satch and gang feel it's necessary to tax high income earners even more? 47B is all this silly tax would raise. You want to really make a difference? CUT THE FREAKING SPENDING YEAR OVER YEAR BY 15% or more! That would make a difference!

Everyone needs to pay the same tax rate....THAT would be the fairest thing you could do. You earn one dollar, you pay 15cents in taxes, you earn 1 million dollars, you pay 150 thousand dollars in taxes. That is the only fair tax system you can have. Everyone has skin in the game at that point.
 
Anybody who takes an oath to not raise taxes needs to have their head examined.

How many GOPers took the Nordquist oath? 97%?
 
5 trillion dollars added to the debt by Obama. Half of Americans do not pay Federal taxes. That's bad enough but also consider how much this half also drains from the Federal government.

Divide and conquer; divide and conquer.
 
Once all of the waste is eliminated then talk to me about what tax increases are necessary. Judging by the GSA events in Hawaii and Vegas, we are not even close.
 
At any rate, the dreaded "Bush Tax Cuts" expire at the end of the year. So, by January 1, 2013, the world will be all rainbows and unicorns for liberals.

Higher taxes are on the way!

I posted this before but some of you didn't quite get it:

Excerpt from Dallas Morning News Article Published: Feb 28, 2012 9:42 PM. Written by Cheryl Hall Dallas News subscribers can see the entire article @The Link

Al Niemi believes the Warren Buffett-inspired debate about whether rich guys should pay more taxes hides a much more threatening problem: America’s middle class, the economic engine of the nation, is getting skewered by the current federal income tax structure.

“The people paying the brunt and the highest tax rates are the middle class because they don’t have tax shelters,” says Niemi, dean of Southern Methodist University’s Cox School of Business. “All they have is wages and salaries being taxed at 25, 28, 33, 35 or soon-to-be 39.6 percent. Those people have no place to hide.”

He and his wife are among “those people.”

“People like us get socked,” Niemi says. “When you look at it at the end of the year, it’s amazing how much taxes you’ll pay. You generate your income through your wages, and you’re subject to withholding. It’s there, and then it’s gone.”

Niemi began to delve into the rich-vs.-middle-class disparity last fall, when Buffett launched his personal assault on federal income taxes. The 81-year-old multibillionaire pointed out that he paid an overall tax rate of 17.4 percent for 2010, a pittance compared with the 33 percent to 44 percent paid by the 20 other people in his Berkshire Hathaway office, including his secretary.
