can we direct all the spam aimed at the forum tonight to obama's in box?

[Markcuda]

All obama voters got what they deserved.

[GiddyWelder]

Better than what the rebubitards got :P

[WeldingMachine]

Yah, no kidding.
We didn't even vote for him & we still get stuck paying for his Libtard policies.
The damn Libtard welfare leaches don't work anyway, so they won't be paying for their free money. As usual, my taxes go up so that the lazy can thrive.

[Payrion]

the senate passed a deal. Unless your making over 400,000 your taxes wont go up ....and im doubting many if any here are making that. House will probably vote on it tomorrow.

[nodak ironman]

Question for the libatards. How much more revenue will raising the taxes on $400,000 +" so called rich " bring in?? From what I understand the difference in revenue will only run the US for 2 weeks.

[nodak ironman]

Told you so

Im sure if i read it from your side it will not be enough, if i read from my side, its enough... Bottom line.,....99.999% of the people on this forum will NOT see a tax increase...

Another example of the "Grand Disconnect"
When the rich guys that own the corporations pay more in taxes we pay more for products.
1+1=2...
BTW: Did it even get signed yet??

[Payrion]

prices of goods goes up in low tax times..were at an all time low tax time and goods and services have been going up for the last 12 years while workers wages have remained the same or below.......so I think they go up as the share holders need more money.. taxed or not.
next lets tax the churches that want a voice in politics....If they keep quite in politics keep their status, maybe....cut the subsidizing of oil and big business....pass a decent jobs bill, then maybe we can move forward faster then we are now...

[Bluewelders]

Lets tax unions.

[WeldingMachine]

Lets tax unions.

Yes, and the Non-profit Universities like Harvard & Yale too.
These schools DO NOT even have to pay property taxes!
If they can pay Million dollar salaries, than they can pay taxes.

[Bluewelders]

The problem is partially that they make their own rules.
So
How about making all of their records public to get elected.
How about if they could not engage in lobbying until they were out of office,for the amount of time they were in.
It would be nice if the politicians pay was locked at whatever it was when they went into office
How about make all of the politicians pay taxes for life, at whatever the highest rate is with no deductions.
Only organizations that have to pay taxes would be allowed to donate money for elections.
Any other ideas to bring them down to earth.

[mla2ofus]

Yeah, If they don't want to protect our kids in gun free zones, then we make "gun free zones" around all elected officials including the pres.Get rid of secret service and armed guards. Enough of "do as I say, not do as I do" bullsh!t !!!

[Oldendum]

Same old stuff, divide and conquer. Identify the folks making bigger bucks and get a cut. Empower and pamper special interest groups (a bit). Sow the seeds of confusion and dissent and put a spin on things so that everyone is working at cross-purposes or is just too tired and fed up to care. Instill fear and doubt. Sad.

[Markcuda]

Lets tax unions.

Most are ran by corrupt crooks anyway.

[nodak ironman]

Gayiron or payron or whatever you call yourself, you are an idiot if you think taxing 1% to pay for this mess Obumma is making is a good idea. The bottom line is the libs need to quit spending. Get rid of all the cheese. Taxing the rich will just trickle down, further more they will find deductions and loopholes so I very much doubt this will have any impact on anyone but us the consumer. Libatard economics never work, look at the historical facts. I still think we should get rid of income tax altogether and install a federal sales tax. That is the only way to tax fairly. That way you and your bum friends will have to pay your fair share instead of expecting Joe Blow who just happens to make over $400,000 a year to pay it for you. Quite a lesson you are teaching kids these days! Work hard and we take your money to give to someone who is lazy!

[Bluewelders]

I love the way all your Pollies are back slappin themselves, saying what a great job they've done to avoid the 'fiscal cliff.' (sounds like something you'd visit a proctologist for)

I just don't envy the bill your kids are gonna be left with.....
I think at the moment it stands around $55k for every man, woman & child in the USA...growing by the minute...DAMN....
That's a lot of moolah.

...

I wish that was all,with unfunded liabilities it is actually $330,000.

[fortyonethirty]

I think that most of the financial problems facing America have the same root, the death of American manufacturing.

[fortyonethirty]

Joe Blow who just happens to make over $400,000 a year

LOL. Just some "Joe Blow" who "just happens" to make $400,000 a year
