GOP Offers Budget

Then why do you harp on this issue constantly?

Sorry to break it to you, but no one believes you. You post this all the time. If you didn't care, you wouldn't keep harping on it.

Perhaps you should review basic history before posting things. The 90% tax bracket was to help us in paying for WW2. It finally caught up and began to bog down the economy. Of course, the bigger picture remains: Why do you feel such a huge need to punish success? You remember the "covet" commandment, don't you?

You want to do away with deficits? Spend less than you take in. It applies across the board. And before you launch into another diatribe...there are millions of us Americans who feel this way. We are ready to kick the sorry butts of the D's and R's who can't show fiscal discipline.

In one paragraph, you complain about a deficit...in another, you don't care...as long as you see rich folks' money in the equation. Would you please make up your mind?

I'm still amazed by your lack of understanding of basic economics. But oh well...you were probably innocently ignorant for a while...now, you're willfully so. Obama and Pelosi love folks like you. Their agenda goes through without a hitch, because you lack knowledge enough to question their plans.

OK, this is why you cannot be taken seriously: When someone posts a point that is critical of the left, you do the knee-jerk thing: "I need to see more information before I believe this story." Yet, Obama states something, and since the messiah cannot lie, you swallow the line completely without question.

Have you ever thought to check on exactly what that $250K entails? Is it indeed net income...or is it some other metric? I'm not going to do your work for you. But if you desire any bit of intellectual honesty, you will check this out before posting again.

But...since you really don't desire to be intellectually honest (you are just waiting to pound anyone that is conservative), we know the outcome of this exercise.

You do realize, don't you, that barely a majority of folks in this country pay income tax? So what do you want...a check from the government (that would be from people that work and pay taxes)? The government should take from people who earn their money, and give money to people who didn't earn it? Why the wealth envy? And why the outright dismissal of the obvious...that government should only take what is necessary, and no more?

Views like yours will bankrupt, and eventually wreck, the United States of America.

As usual, you miss the point. Wealth envy has clouded your judgement. Taxation isn't something based on, "Oh well, they won't miss it...so we'll take it." Views like yours allow government power to go unabated.

 

Something democrats never did while Bush was President.

Democrat's sole strategy was to criticize and obstruct everything Republicans tried to do.

As spineless as Republicans are, they make democrats look like spoiled children.

 

Either you are completely ignorant or you just simply ignore the vastness of the deficit being run up.

 

Nice dodge............

 

No, my point is that you should not be too surprised if shortly taxes are paid for all working taxpayers.

Remember how Clinton promised us a tax cut and then came out a few days later and said that he never worked harder in his life but he could not figure out a way to give us a tax cut?

I can easily imagine a not too distant time when Obama will tell us that as much as he would like not to raise our taxes we must be patriotic and pay for all of these "very essential programs" that the democrats are coming up with.

I am predicting a TAX INCREASE for all of us.

 

>You are correct about the 90% tax, because many factories closed up for three to sometimes five months a year to keep profit down, so taxes wouldn't take the profit, it just wasn't worth it to keep 10% or less of each dollar of profit.

Anyone find a reference for this? I don't remember it happening.

 

Ephasis on the "might"?

Not very likely.

 

Whatever they are, they're about 9 times greater than they were during the Bush Administration.

You cared about deficits then. Why not now?

 

So you didn't pay any attention, but now you're watching?

And it's now 9 times worse, but that's OK because why?

You're watching?

Makes a lot of sense.

 

So you're saying you've never watched it, don't care, and aren't paying any attention now, either?

Considering your professed ignorance of the subject, maybe you should consider not commenting at all.

 

The Reagan deficit was because we had an enemy that could defeat us...and they were dangerous. Come on, quit playing dumb.

And I doubt you're willing to admit it, but if you'd bother looking you'd find out that many (if not most) conservatives had a huge problem with Bush's spending. Many of us (including myself) spoke out against it.

But that would mess up your argument, so you'll ignore it. Nice job.

 

LB sez:

After making such a confession, you would do well to observe the old adage:
"Tis better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"

Now I'm not calling you a fool, but statements like this quote from you, should make you ponder your thought processes and fiscal knowledge a bit prior to "bloviating" (love that term from O'Reilly) on the subject!

And just in case you still don't see the point, gov't has no money that they don't get from you - that same money that you would spend for groceries, autos, recreation etc that you now no longer have since they legally robbed you of it.

 

You are mistaken.

Under Obama, the government is printing money like there's no tomorrow.

The rest he borrows from the Chinese.

They don't get any of that from me and you.

...but they will eventually ...

and it's going to be painful for all of us....and our great great great grandchildren.

So, maybe you're right after all.
