I don't understand all the crying. Are you not getting your $7 a week as part of the Obama "tax cuts for all?" That's McDonald's for "free" once a week! Who needs a job when you can make those rich bastards and small businesses pay for McDonald's?Do we even care about those bastards anymore?
The Economists' statement opposing the Bush tax cuts was a statement signed by roughly 450 economists, including ten of the twenty four American Nobel Prize Laureates alive at the time, in February 2003 who urged the U.S. President George W. Bush not to enact the 2003 tax cuts; seeking and sought to gather public support for the position. The statement was printed as a full-page ad in The New York Times and released to the public through the Economic Policy Institute. According to the statement, the 450 plus economists who signed the statement believe that the 2003 Bush tax cuts will increase inequality and the budget deficit, decreasing the ability of the U.S. government to fund essential services, while failing to produce economic growth
Hahah, a big reprieve for families earning over 250,000 dollars. Yeah, that's great. Let's lighten the tax burden on the group not suffering. What about the middle class? Do we even care about those bastards anymore? Or have we abandoned all pretense and have admitted that the government does nothing but serve the elite and new aristocracy?
:fyi: Raising taxes during a recession is stupid.
Keeping the tax burden what it is is not lightening the tax burden; this is a failure of distinction I see way too often. And anyways, if the government are supposed to be "serving the aristocracy", they sure are doing a crappy job of it, considering the hugely disproportional share of the tax burden the wealthy* already have.
*not that $250,000 a year would necessarily make one "wealthy" by any means.
Canceling unemployment extensions in a recession is stupid. Especially on the horizon of a double dip.
I don't know, they already took a bunch of my money and gave it to the rich ass banks and lenders who caused this mess in the first place. Seems to me that they're doing a fine job at it. And a quarter of a million dollars a year makes you wealthy. You may not be stupid filthy rich like the true aristocracy, but you're damned well off.

Wow 450 plus economists were wrong, thanks for sharing! In the years since the tax cuts, the deficit decreased and the economy grew.According to the statement, the 450 plus economists who signed the statement believe that the 2003 Bush tax cuts will increase inequality and the budget deficit, decreasing the ability of the U.S. government to fund essential services, while failing to produce economic growth
Man, most of the people pulling $250k a year aren't evil maniacal bankers.
They are small business owners.
Direct your anger towards the political class, we don't need this income class warfare.
It's dumb.

Now is this the part where you try to blame tax cuts on the loose monetary policy, non-existent standards for mortgage qualifications - the buying and selling of repackaged trash that spurred the current meltdown?
We already have it with the War on the Middle Class. Damn...Fox News should hire me, I'm awesome at this ****.
You are incorrect, corporations are posting very good earnings, they are not in danger of falling under. Weakening consumer spending even more is far more dangerous at this point as alot of economists agree.
I see. We should have let the financial system collapse, brought the lending industry to screaming halt, and encumbered all related transactions to build some trains that people won't use and to give them faster porn downloads to pass all the free time they'd be having without jobs.Could of had a real, bonafide, high speed rail system linking the major cities of America. New York to Chicago in a few hours sort of thing. Could have taken the internet as public utility and laid the backbone of a high speed internet system. Could have hired people to start tearing down Detroit since no one lives there. All these things which would have made jobs, but no. Instead my money went to the banks and the lenders and the companies which were "too big to fail".

And they are spending...
