Obama to call for new tax increases in State of the Union address


Nice.

I thought I'd add something. Consider it a gift in return for the recipe.

Estate tax in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "death tax"[edit]

The caption for section 303 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, enacted on August 16, 1954, refers to estate taxes, inheritance taxes, legacy taxes and succession taxes imposed because of the death of an individual as "death taxes." That wording remains in the caption of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended

I mean, I don't know exactly how old Luntz is, or even the Dr. Death Tax guy is, but I'm going to guess they weren't involved in writing, approving, and printing the IRS Code of 1954. Of course, again, there is that Egyptian thing. Love to see the hieroglyphics that spell out DEATH TAXES. That would be interested.

Do you have a recipe for humble pie? I'm thinking you might want to whip some up and enjoy the freedom humility brings to the soul.
 
A tax increase on the wealthy is going to hurt everybody, but there are so many who buy into this class warfare. This is what the Marxists started in Russia to rid the country of the Czars. Obama says the tax increase is helping the middle class. That is an oxymoron because in Marxist terms, the term for middle class was bourgeoisie, which stood for the capitalist class, those individuals, who had the money and the means of production. Obama says he wants only to tax the wealthy, but he is also attacking the middle class. Don't believe a word that Obama reads from his teleprompter.
 

I have no idea what the Back in Black program is nor do I care. You think Obama gives a damn about balancing the budget? Name for me one liberal that supports that? You and all liberals haven't seen a dollar that you didn't want to spend. It isn't about balancing the budget as it is about creating strong economic results.

How does that number compare to the highest level of unemployment, at 10.4%

I have posted the charts but obviously you ignored them Obama's numbers are more than Double any other President in history and when you add discouraged workers and the under employed to the unemployed you get Obama's true results which are why he lost the Congress


Which the GOP is now taking credit for.

Where is the GOP Taking credit for the Obama economy? You live in your own little dream world

A direct effect from your party's Great recession.

So tell me what exactly did the Democrat Controlled Congress do to prevent the recession and what did they do to get us out of that recession? You spout the DNC talking points quite well. How do you know this was a worse recession than 81-82? Oh, I know, the DNC told you so? I lived and worked during both and there is no comparison to the affects of both recessions and the recoveries. It was Reagan leadership and the Reagan stimulus that got us out of the 81-82 recession quite quickly. Obama doesn't have a clue and is an incredibly poor leader

Still the lame Gruber insult.

If the shoe fits, wear it

Until a GOP is President with the same or lower numbers .

I am discussing the use of a pointless graph, I'm not taking a stand. If that graph is what you are going by then you aren't making your point.
 

Won't be watching, couldn't care less what this incompetent says and know most will be lies anyway
 

Why? because I don't believe that any dollars should go to the Federal Govt. until they clean up their mess and stop lying to the American people. I am for all Americans keeping more of what they earn thus needing less govt. Why do you have a problem with that?

Why don't you post the GDP numbers by component showing the growth. Cannot wait to see you prove me wrong. BEA.gov. has the data
 

LOL !!

10 separate stimulus packages equating to 100 Trillion dollars in Stimulus is austerity ?

Their 3 following stimulus packages plus massive monetary stimulus equates to " austerity " ?

The have a debt to GDP ratio of over 200 percent.

WHAT AUSTERITY ??
 

LMAO, 100 Trillion????
 
Rich people won't invest less just because their long-term capital gains tax rate is the same as their income tax rate.

But I would like to see the extra funds be used for deficit reduction.

Any additional funds for existing or new programs should come through reductions in military/entitlement spending or cost-saving measures there and elsewhere.

No, Lol @ his calling Japans MASSIVE Keynesian Fiscal stimulus " austerity "....

That was funny....and a little pathetic. Kind of like you attempting to take up for him
 

Actually it is the middle class tax cuts that will help the middle class. The tax increases are to pay for them. I guess it is a foreign language to you but some actually think you need to pay for what you spend. We are sorry that we gave the wealthy too many breaks that now need to be re-evaluated. We led you on and for that we are sorry but some of them need to go back. Capital gains need to go back to what Ronald Reagan proposed...I know...the horror.
 

Nonsense, you don't need to " pay for " tax cuts.

Besides, your President is a liar, possibly pathological.

Tax Increases would go into the pockets of Bueracrats, not the "Middle class ".

And if he gave a crap about the Middle class in the first place he wouldn't have signed that abortion of a Health Care law
 

I think the problem is that you are too self-serving to be a creditable debater especially when you claim to be well-off. The Govt. has'nt prevented you from becoming wealthy has it? Have you even thought of the possibility that your fictional "less Govt." might have?

Now that is a response that I expected when you cannot refute the information posted. I feel so sorry for people like you who bought an ideology that makes you look foolish. No, the govt. hasn't prevented me from becoming self sufficient but it has prevented small businesses from growing and hiring people. You buy what you are told and ignore results, that says it all.

I suggest you think more and stop buying what the left tells you. Think, how much more money is the middle class going to get from an Obama tax cut since many in that middle class don't pay any income taxes due to deductions, tax credits, and the Bush tax cuts. What you are seeing is nothing more than Obama appealing to his ignorant base. I expect more out of you than this.

Really? Then point me to the post which breaks out GDP by component? I have seen no such post and if I missed it I will gladly apologize
 

what event causes the tax to be imposed?

you are wrong so many times its funny

the heirs are not taxed. its the estate of the deceased. the tax is based on the value of the estate not the income of the heirs. it is not "unearned" income either but rather a gift.
