What do you mean by the "capital gain argument"? Just that somebody making that much is paying capital gains tax not income tax?
Obviously I don't know how much you personally pay in property taxes... That has nothing to do with what we're talking about kiddo. We know how much, on average, different economic brackets pay in property taxes, so there is no excuse to just ignore that to distort the results of our analysis.
It's been estimated that when all is said and done the cost of the war in Iraq will be $3 trillion dollars, hardly a drop in the bucket. Name one thing that was worth that cost in money and lives.You want to discuss the war, start a new thread and I will join you. Stop trying to derail this one. The cost of the wars were a drop in the bucket of our 14.6 trillion debt but it is red meat to liberals who want to divert from what ever issue they cannot defend.
and what does the SCOTUS have to say about the New Deal?
if SCOTUS finds the New Deal programs to be legal, then they are legal.
The distortion is throwing in anything other than what one pays in taxes on their income.
wow I think we have a harvard law review editor here.
things change
What was the sacrifice for, Con?You have a family? If not you have no clue what sacrifice means. Every night you don't sleep well afraid that phone is going to ring or someone from the military is going to show up on your doorstep. If you served, thank you but don't give me that bull**** about not sacrificing when three family members are in combat. Good thing you got out as you give the military a bad name
What do you mean? How could we figure out whether somebody pays their fair share just by looking at one of the taxes? The other ones don't count? Why not?

What was the sacrifice for, Con?
Because we are not able to discern how much people pay in other taxes. I would have assumed that Kerry was paying a pretty penny in taxes on his yacht, until I found out he was trying to hide it so he didn't have to.
All you can do is assume. I have no desire to argue assumptions.
That argument doesn't make any sense... We're talking about whether the rich are paying their fair share. We know how much of various taxes the rich pay, we know how much of various taxes the middle class pays. I don't see what relevance you think there is to what exactly dollar amount a specific individual pays.
Which taxes do you believe Obama is proposing increasing?Obama to propose $1.5 trillion in new tax revenue
Just an example in 1965 with 175 million people the budget of the U.S. was 250 billion dollars, today it is 3.7 trillion with 310 million people. Make a case for that amount. I am saying you can increase the 1965 budget by 6 times and do quite well. Too many people don't know history.
So, $250 billion in 1965 dollars adjusted for inflation is $1.7 trillion. Adjusting for the number of people, that is $1.7T/175*311 = $3.11 trillion. So, about the same ballpark. It's a bit higher now because we're in two wars and a recession, but basically it's about on the same line.
The thread topic, Which taxes do you believe Obama is proposing increasing?
Do you really have any idea as to the role of the Federal govt? Did you ever take a civics and history course? We have a problem today because of an overreaching Federal Govt. that gets involved in social issues. Those personal responsibility issues are between you, your state, your local communities, your charities, or your church. Not a bureaucrat in D.C.
Capital gains.
Capital gains.
yeah Obumble is on record noting he will increase those taxes even if it does not increase tax revenues to make things "fair"
the silly twit is not competent to be president. He is going to drive capital out of America
Link please... Obviously you're mischaracterizing something he said... zzzz....
You deny he said this
to save you the embarrassment
the stupid clown says it right here
See. I called it. You're misrepresenting something he said... Duh. He said he would look at it to make sure it was fair... You said he said he would raise it even if it didn't raise revenues. You were caught lying flat out... Why do you do this to yourself all the time? Aren't you ashamed by constantly being busted like this? Man, I could hardly show my face around here after just one of the sorts of bustings that you take 20 of a day...
sorry you lost, move on. He said he wanted to do things out of fairness
Kiddo, he said he would LOOK AT the capital gains tax to see if it was appropriate. He even went on to talk about the sorts of situations in which it would be- because it would raise revenue... You posted the video. It's right there... I dunno man. It just seems patently obvious that soooo many of the things you say even you know are completely false... Are you just here to spread propaganda, so you don't care if it is true or what? The video is RIGHT THERE. Everybody can see that you're lying...
