far right=tired of massive irresponsible spending
You'd just love to see a 100% tax rate, wouldn't ya??No, tax rates are too low, so stop the nonsense
This is because Conservatism alone bears the immutable truth.Everything you 've said is consistent with a rightwing ideology. Deny it if you choose, but everyone else can see the obvious
No you do not! You do not have the right to kill off the private sector, Bolshevik!I have every right to petition the govt for a more progressive tax system. Your argument is just another way the rightwing tries to control the populace
The reason they are opposing tax hikes, is because they know that the reason they gained the majority in The House, is because the People wanted them to oppose tax hikes.
If the shoe fits. See my sig. That's the official flag of the Democrats.Can you acoid the personal attacks, or is that too much to ask?

All from Leftwingnut sources, No thank you!!
You mean preserving life? Religious freedom anywhere and everywhere?? Second Amendment?? And how about making sure our immigrants are FOLLOWING THE LAW??
No, this is how we conducted our nation until the extreme Leftwing Communists started infiltrating the Democrat party.Tyrants always claim they're doing it for the good of the nation
they are too low on most of the citizens and too high on the rich
the top one percent pay almost 40% of the income tax and all the death tax
that is too high

And how much wealth does that 1% control?
Likely receiving some government subsidy, or some artsy fartsy not for profit.I did. They disagree
that is the mindset behind all these idiotic claims that the rich need to pay even more

NYC's economy is doing just fine, public & private sector.
Tens of thousands of New York City public employees, teachers, private sector workers and students joined protests on Tuesday and Wednesday against impending budget cuts, mass layoffs and rising unemployment.
On June 14, city unions organized a mass rally outside City Hall, and on June 15 private sector unions joined with teachers and other public employees in a demonstration in Brooklyn, followed by a march across the Brooklyn Bridge into lower Manhattan. Among those marching were many out-of-work construction workers, including carpenters, ironworkers, laborers and others.
New York City’s billionaire Mayor Michael Bloomberg has proposed $600 million in cuts that would go into effect for the next fiscal year, which begins this July 1. Hardest hit by the cuts are public schools, with the proposed elimination of over 6,000 teaching positions, which includes 4,000 layoffs.
The cuts are being carried out across the board. City community colleges face a cut of $63 million. Rent subsidies are to be eliminated for 15,000 formerly homeless families. Libraries are slated for 530 layoffs, mostly librarians. Twenty fire companies are targeted for shutdown. Cutbacks are also planned in senior centers, youth programs, homeless services, elder-care programs, continuing education programs and cultural organizations.
This draconian austerity program is being proposed under conditions in which major banks on Wall Street are making huge profits, and the five richest New Yorkers, including the mayor, have seen their combined personal fortunes grow to $92 billion.
Noticeably absent from the remarks of the union officials was any mention of the name Andrew Cuomo, New York’s Democratic governor, who together with Democrats and Republicans in the state legislature recently passed $10 billion in budget cuts that have translated into social cutbacks and layoffs in New York City and everywhere across the state.
The governor is threatening to begin laying off 9,800 state workers if they do not accept six-year contracts loaded with concessions, including increases in employee health care costs that, according to one estimate, would cost each worker a total of $10,000. The governor has also introduced to the state legislature an inferior pension plan for all new state employees that would, among other things, raise their retirement age and increase their pension contributions. The governor’s proposal, backed by Bloomberg, would also affect city workers.
With Bloomberg’s support, Cuomo pushed through the abolition of the so-called millionaires’ tax, which imposed a small surcharge on the state’s top 2 percent of income earners, transferring an estimated $5 billion from state revenues into the coffers of New York’s wealthiest.
No, this is how we conducted our nation until the extreme Leftwing Communists started infiltrating the Democrat party.
lol!!!
wow.
this idiotic claim is supported by the majority of the American people.
Right now, Andrew Cuomo is one of the very few, and I MEAN very few Democrats I respect because he "gets it" The state is broke and we need to massively cut back.
because the GOP and the rich have declared war on the Middle-class.
So you want to increase taxes?
If you won't stand up for you own principles, they must not be worth anything
