Thank you.

Very Illuminating......

the income of the 5-10% slice is $112,000-$154,000.

the 1-5% slice goes from $154,000-$344,000 and includes a lot of people making under $200K.

106

actually not.

do the math, smart boy....

show us how much Obama's tax on the "Rich" will collect.....
110
109

personally we would like to see the cap on social security lifted

and the actual "rich" folks taxed more.

but taxing the "rich" is not the answer, just a (relatively small) piece of the solution.

the problem is that when the Democrats go after the 'rich'

they actually often hurt small businesses that really do create jobs.

we wouldn't mind seeing all the bush tax cuts end (although we have told our employees we will make up the 2% if that happens) but we would like to see it tied to some actual entitlement reform.

we don't think the fight is worth the political capital the gop has invested in it...
111
@108: $80 billion over the next decade. And that's just from ending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. There's plenty more to work with in that area...
112
111

thats $8 billion a year.

the debt is $1 TRILLION a year.

so taxing THE RICH will wipe out LESS THAN ONE FUCKING PERCENT of the debt?

what a FUCKING FRAUD......

but we apologize, we were wrong, Obama is not a liar....

HE IS A FUCKING MORON.

113
@112: Are you incapable of reading?
THAT'S JUST FROM ENDING THE BUSH TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY. THERE'S PLENTY MORE THERE TO WORK WITH.
114
113

More?!

As in 'More-on'?

OK.

What does your boy Barack propose?

Don't hold back.
115
@114: He proposes raising taxes on individuals making more than $250,000 a year.
116
115

How much?

How much will those taxes collect?

don't be coy...
117
I like how the troll always posts in the form of bad poetry.
118
@116: You want specifics? You got them. Obama's tax plan will raise an additional $1.7 TRILLION over the next ten years. http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxtopics…
Any questions, beeyotch?

Here is a concept for King Barack to ponder:

Taxation Without Representation.

It's what got this country started.

When the nation votes to tax itself things are fine. Democracy.

When the Moocher Class votes to tax the 6% (but not themselves...) not so much.

Tyranny of the Mob.

It is fraying the Social Compact that holds the Republic together.

The Productive Middle Class will start to see the Moocher Class the same way folks view starving children in Africa; it is sad and tragic but Not My Problem.

And when the Productive Middle Class turns its enormous creative energy
away from inventing and developing and commerce
and to figuring out how to protect itself from the greedy grasping Moocher Class
things will get bad.

Tax revenues will shrink.

Just a little something for King Barack and the Moocher Class to ponder....

122
@119: What's that bit about 6%? "Among income groups, only the top 1 percent would see an average tax increase" Suck it.
And Obama never said he'd instantly wipe out the deficit Bush handed him. It's going to take some time to get back to the productive Clinton years. But hey, actually reducing the deficit by 17% is a good start.
And yes, there's a mix of spending cuts and tax increases. Reducing the military's requirements by ending the war in Iraq will help. And ending subsidies for oil companies will free up up to $400 billion a year.
Sure beats Romney's imaginary plan, anyhow.
123
oooooh....
it sounds like the best is yet to come!
(our nipples are getting hard just thinking about it...)

Obama greatly expanded the deficit.
("cut in half" must mean something different in Kenyan)
If he just got it down to the level it was under Bush it would be wonderful.

125
@123: GermanSausage just took you out behind the woodshed. But hey, it's not like you care about facts.
126
The coward troll lets slip the basic idea behind a conservative's idea of "democracy" @120:

When people I like vote for things I like it is democracy.

When people I do not like vote for things I do not like, it is tyranny.

You have the philosophical and intellectual chops of an elementary schooler, troll.
127
when people impose on others what they are unwilling to do themselves it is tyranny.

tax yourselves, bitches....
128
@127: Everyone is taxed. While it has been made clear by you and others that you find facts to be detrimental to your arguments, you should learn about how taxes work.

http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=vie…

A key passage:
"When all federal, state, and local taxes are taken into account, the bottom fifth of households pays about 16 percent of their incomes in taxes, on average. The second-poorest fifth pays about 21 percent"

So who exactly is not getting taxed? The poorest Americans are paying about 16% of their income. Meanwhile Mitt Romney paid just under 14%, due to lawyers and loopholes.

So who is it in this scenario who is unwilling to be taxed? Who is getting the most benefit from the gub'mint?

47% of American't pay ZERO Federal Income Taxes.

The 53% want that same deal.

129

You should include some Dramamine with that post.

Lying Liberals claiming to want to pay more taxes is puke inducing.

What is keeping you?

Write the IRS a check...you Lying Sack of Shit.

Why aren't all the generous Liberals who are lamenting that they don't pay more taxes clamoring for the Federal Income Tax rates of THEIR bracket to be raised?

You fool no one.

come on VenomWhore!

do you believe in Democracy or not?

You don't have the philosophical and intellectual chops of an elementary schooler, do you?
136
I30, I am part of the 53% who pays federal income tax. (You've pretty much admitted that you don't pay them in other threads) I pay more taxes than you probably make in a year, and I'm happy to do it. I can afford it, where as the 47% who don't, like you, cannot.

You're welcome.
137
@133: I believe in democracy. I also believe in the rule of law. Since the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States GUARANTEES to all persons equal protection under the law. Our legal system also allows for judicial review, which can under some circumstances overrule the decision of the legislators or the electorate.
By all means, keep bitching.

We are all so proud, and grateful; Bob.
But your President and Country need more!
You,
and St Kim,
and KrautWeiner
and ALL you generous Liberals need to start paying MORE taxes.
NOW!
There is no time to wait for Congress to get off its ass....

(its urgent!
tonite Sandra Fluke dropped her birth control pills in the crapper when she was purging.
someone needs to get over there STAT with her replacement free government birth control......)

@Sheryl Yes, my favorite musical as well. You can have your Fred Astaire, I'll take Gene Kelly any day.

The pic is of Lina Lamont in front of a curtain. The true speaker is behind the curtain, while a flashy beautiful face is out front. My avatar, see? Get it? Ha ha ha....
142
138, I also have money deducted from every paycheck that goes to charities. (Including Planned Parenthood) When is the last time you helped anyone?
143
142

oh Bob; it just gets better and better!

Liberal Abortion is one of our pet causes as well.

It is good for the country, don't you think?
144
140

why do you hate democracy?
145
143, Yet it's the right wing extremists like you who are dying out. Go figure.
146
145

oh Bob, you'll miss us when we're gone.

Gomorrah isn't such a fun place

when you have to pay your own bills

and clean up your own messes.
147
146, As we already established, I not only pay my bills, but yours too. When was the last time you cleaned up anything? Look around you. Your life is a pigsty.
148
147

speaking of which, you haven't paid the cable bill yet.

don't be tardy, we couldn't bear to go one minute without our Fox News....
149
147, At least I can afford it. How are those rabbit ears working for you?
150
about as well as those bugs bunny buck teeth work for you....
151
150, You seem upset that you can't get your fat ass laid. Maybe if you put down the donuts, and moved a little, you wouldn't be so unattractive. Your unwashed fat rolls are rather smelly too. For God's sake, take care of your personal hygiene. Put on some clean clothes.
152
150, Oh, and at least I have all my teeth.
153
You know, Rob sent us a picture of himself, I think it is only fair (if there is going to be a insult battle about looks) that the troll also send in a picture.

Unless he is scared.
154
I'm still surprised (and pleased) that Romney actually got 2 million fewer votes in this election, than McCain got the last time. I mean they REALLY pushed for the hate and the vote and everything, and McCain had Palin to deal with. Romney had a bigger population to draw on as well. But It just shocks me.

That's great!

After Maryland secedes and starts selling homosexuals you'll fetch a better price.

After all, no one wants to pay good money for a gap toothed houseboy...

    Please wait...
