Hopefully the govt will spend it on improving infrastructure, jobs, education in the USA, instead of destroying some sandpit in the middle east...
Show me a republican war that hasn't played a huge part in destroying our economy, killing off thousands of our young, increasing the national debt, etc. Both sides are to blame, no doubt. BTW, I suppose when you get old enough, you will turn down social security?
I don't give a rats ass either way what you think ...i'm not going to get into a pissing contest over who pays more.would you care to make a wager? money talks bs walks as they say
but you didn't deny my claim so I will take it that you are not much of a net tax payer

don't believe we specified what type of taxes...but, claim it as a 'victory' if you wish.Apparently you don't know taxes at all, Income taxes do not pay for roads, schools, law enforcement, fire, trash collection. That is what excise taxes on gasoline and property taxes were supposed to pay. This seems to be the root of your problem.
Income taxes fund the following
Defense
International Affairs
Gen. Science, Space
Energy
Natural resources/env
Agriculture
Commerce
Transportation
Community Dev
Education/Train/Social
Health
Veterans Benefits
Justice
General Govt.
Net Interest
where is the logic in giving the rich another tax cut?
"Over the medium term, the tax cuts are simply not affordable" but allowing the tax cuts to expire at the end of the year would "make an already stagnating jobs market worse," Orszag continued.
common sense, if i'm worth millions of dollars, i'm really not gonna miss a couple of % raise in taxes..pocket change.good move, but it would really be great if we were able to see the truth behind people's postings. Those who whine that tax increases won't hurt the rich are almost always not rich. Same with those who say the rich can afford more tax hikes-it comes from the average taxpayer or the ultra wealthy.

if it makes you happy, enjoy it. you have had so few 'victories' here anyway.It is indeed a victory since the topic of this thread is Middle Class tax cuts relating to Income taxes not use taxes. All you can do is try and divert to other use taxes to try and tie them all together in hopes of making yourself feel better. What you are showing however is something entirely different.
The class envy and demonization of profit and wealth has to stop as all that does is promote bigger govt. and thus the loss of freedom.
hmmm...try posting the entire exchange, instead of snipping it....LOL!
then why do you keep asking him?
with all due respect, you appear to be kinda losing it a bit to me
but, again, go for it
make yourself happy

Screw all this BS about class envy and the size of government. Can you guys ever say anything that is not a bumper sticker cliche?

Could you put up a link to support your claims about the rich now vs. when the draft was in place ?
You say you served more. I didn't ask you how long you served, but thank you for the service. What I asked for was a link to support your earlier claim.
Now its two claims waiting to be substantiated.
I ask again since there has not yet been an honest answer:
if we cuts taxes for the rich and the economy improves creating more wealth for the rich and more for corporations but there is no job growth for the bottom 20% who are now hurting, is that good for American society?
or lets try it this way
If that scenario happens, would you still advocate cutting taxes on the rich knowing that it will not produce the jobs for the lower 20%?
try again grasshopperi pretty much did:
where are the jobs?
in texas
i don't a rat's behind about texas
LOL!
stay up

You didn't ask me, but you told me yours, why? Were you bragging or complaining? I also did 10 years reserves, and I get a military retirement that is taxed.
Look up tax rates in 1964, explain how our economy was doing so well then.
As poor as I was for so many years, I have never escaped paying income taxes. Not only should we repeal the Bush Tax cuts for the rich, we should raise the current rates at every level. That, along with budget cuts in social and military industry entitlements (including foreign aid), should help with deficits and debt.
