The problem is uncontrolled spending not not low taxes. The rich already pay 35% to the Feds this is enough. At the other end is one of my sons, makes 30k, wife and one kid, with the Bush tax law he pays zero Federal Taxes and in 2009 got back almost 2k more than he paid in. Seems the Robin Hood theory is working. Take 35% from the rich and low income is already getting a free ride, plus a handout. This was not in place under the last 2 dem presidents, makes Bush more of a lib than a pub. I believe all workers need to either pay some taxes or not get more than they pay in Federal Taxes. Makes it no incentive to make more and lose the free $$. Oh I am taxed enough already Last edited by Peter Pan; 12-07-2010 at 12:39pm. |

I'd say judging from this page Tax Brackets (Federal Income Tax Rates) 2000 through 2009 and 2010 the rich are being taxed quite enough already.
I think it would be much better to stop coddling adults and not ever allow unemployment benefits to extend past the already ridiculous extension. As soon as that stops, I guarantee some people will get to gettin' and find a job - ANY job. I ponder about the money in taxes we are losing thanks to those that are working under the table and collecting benefits for two fecking years. Or those that could be working but choose to sponge instead? Or those that refuse to take a job for less than previous? For fun, let's throw a number out there, a very small percentage of people. Say 500,000. Now let's take this for example: If the average weekly benefit is ~ $300, then people are living off ~ $16,000/yr. If only a half million people (very small percentage of the unemployed) would just accept minimum wage jobs, they'd make the same money and add a Billion dollars into federal taxes. Not to mention save them 8 Billion dollars in payouts. So, a half million people could save us 8 Billion and generate 1 Billion. For the Gov to make up that 9 Billion dollars, you'd need 260,500 Millionaires, or 250 Billionaires to be returned to 2002 tax rate. Why should those rich be taxed even more when 500,000 people could step up to the plate and take the burden off themselves as well as us? And please, don't come back with a bunch of BS about who I must listen to on the radio / TV. All that thought and math came from my very own mind and calculator. |

Smart Azz, congress is spending to much, stop the reckless spending and we can go back to the black. Seems to me both parties need to stop the spending and only spend what the current tax law takes in as I am Taxed Enough Already

You mean the decision to spend money without paying for it?

Midwest Voices
kansascity.com Barb Shelly Here’s my small crusade: Could we stop talking about “ending the Bush tax cuts for people earning more than $250,000 a year?” That leaves the impression that you would keep your tax cuts if you make $250,000 or less, but give them up entirely if you would make, say, $275,000. In reality, based on proposals by President Obama and some Congressional Democrats, everyone would retain the tax cuts on income up to $250,000. The increase would come on income earned over that threshold. So in the scenario above, the couple earning $275,000 a year would see an income tax increase only on $25,000. So the better way to frame the debate is “ending the Bush tax cuts on household income above $250,000 a year.”

Both parties are spending to much, our Govt needs to spend less than the current tax, our Govt is out of control and even with the biggest tax increase in history, our Govt still has us in a defict, raising taxes is not the answer, cutting spending is.

Is this not the same Bank of China that is paying for Stimulus bill, Heath Care and unemployment extensions?

While your ing your river pull your head out of your and find out why the Senate used the Sunset Amendment. A litttle hint: The DemaDorks knew it was more unsustainable SPENDING.

So much to say about this one ... eventually the (neo)-conservative ones will tell you they were either blackmailed or forced to take it and it's Obama/Dem/Libs fault ... sad.

When it comes to being Physically Responsible; Our Government failed us yesterday!
If the President needed to convey the Biggest Bang for the Buck decision, then he failed, and so did all the Democrats and Republicans political elected. Sad ... |

The Dems will look good bashing the entire conundrum ... Obama will win again in 2012 since Boehner has just made the Washington D.C. Social list so he has better things to do now than actually going through with the neocon Pledge to America ... (what the hell anyway, the (R)'s really don't have anybody anyway as GOP POTUS candidacy so whadda they have to lose ?) |

They don't need to be ... the entire concept of (R) Tax Cuts is still Nixon to Bush/Cheney *Deficits Don't Matter* ...
As long as the Oil Cartels and China continue to buy our debt and as long as we outsource to them ... we're in good shape ... In this regard, what doesn't make sense is the Tea Party abolishing the govt. altogether ... |
