You mis-titled your thread...

Republicans Hold Senate Ransom for Rich Tax Cut

Should be:

Republicans Hold Senate Ransom to prevent more tax hikes.

Can't be a cut, according to everything you have posted over the years, because you claimed that it's a "return to previous rates" which were all tax-hikes after it got above the initial rate.

Tax inequality????? The top 5% already pay over 60% of income taxes. Yes, it's unequal. So you think it should be MORE unequal???? GMAFB:crazy:

Were the majority of them not common theives and crooks, I would agree with you.. :laughing: But, since we know that an extremely lopsided majority of the money is held by the top 5%, and the way they control the government it squeezes the little guys out of a chance to join the top 5%, I say tax em until they are in the top 25%. And leave everyone making less than $10 million a year the hell alone.

The last figures I saw, the top 5% made something like 32% of the income and paid 60%+ of the taxes. That is not selfishness or stinginess. It seems about right to me if you can't have a flat tax.

Sure, but what percentage of the wealth do they hold/control? And what are the odds of a current high school student of attaining that 5% status in his lifetime?

Ask LeBron James. :laughing:

My point exactly. 1 out of a 50 million will make it. That's not acceptable. And James will probably never see all that money he is signed up for..

Just checking here....


Did anybody read the part where I mentioned that my thread title is the article title and not mine?:spanked:

Yes, but they didn't title the thread. You did. :cheers:

:thumbsup:
So, how about a tiered flat tax. No taxes except consumption side. If you make over $1 million per yer, you pay an additional 10% Dismantle the FED first and foremost, then go back to gold and/or silver backed tender.

We have quite enough taxes, no need for income taxes on people making less than $10 million. The need is a reduction in spending. Tax abuse created this country, tax abuse will bring it down.

Did you even bother to read the link?


START Treaty.....

The START treaty is great, for everyone except the US. Obama is all for nuclear disarmament.. much like everyone left of Reagen, but when you read between the lines, he wants to disarm us, not Russia.

One thing the last 20 or so months has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, is that with Obama & the progressives, you must read between the lines because they cannot espouse their true intentions.

When R's passed the tax cut it was unfunded. All of the tax cuts have added to the deficit. If you call yourself a fiscal conservative then extending the tax cuts or making them perminant must be offset by reducing spending. Since the tax cuts for families making over $250000 will cost this country $700,000,000,000 over 10 years where will the money come from? If you have a solution for that, then I am all for the tax cuts, but good luck finding a free $70B a year.

Your analogy is incorrect. There never was a tax cut. Once the initial rate was exceeded, everything afterward was a hike. This was a reduction in that hike and not extending it is another hike because it moves opposite of the initial rate.

Wait. I propose eliminating the income tax and going to a consumption tax, so even dune would pay taxes, drug dealers, welfae recipients, etc. The income tax would only come into effect if you earn say $1million or more per year.

But.. anytime you give the government a source of income they can raise as needed, they will. That's why we are in the mess we are in, the leviathan is insatiable. Give them $1, they will spend $3. The fed has created this never ending debt situation through a practice known as fractional banking. We can never ever get ahead of it, no matter how high taxes are. That is why tax rates have constantly been adjusted and why we were took off the gold standard.

The only answer is to eliminate their source of revenue. Some people take issue with me wanting to starve the leviathan to death, but as you can see now, it's him or us.

........tax breaks that were part of President Barack Obama's massive economic recovery package...........

I don't what is funnier, this line, or the fact that there are people out there dumb enough to believe it... despite all the evidence to the contrary.. :laughing::crazy:
