I have to agree. The Bush tax cuts didnt do much to help anyone but the wealthy. I would like to see FACTUAL evidence that it was a positive move by Bush.
what rot-tax cuts went to everyone who paid income taxes. ask those who got tax cuts if they helped-they sure helped my family. we gave a bunch more to the college my mother attended, and the grade schools my kid and his cousins attend.
that the wealthy got the most cuts is not surprising given the top 5% pay more than half the income taxes.
You mean wall street then?
When the dead horse is better than anything the Democrats call "new ideas", the dead horse is obviously better. What the Dems are doing is killing this country --- call me crazy but when a choice is a dead horse or a dead country, I'll pick the horse every time.
if you had to pay more taxes you might have got a bigger tax cut
again if you want the middle class to get more tax cuts start advocating that the middle class start paying more taxes
a cute picture that is full of excrement in what it is trying to say
with every post you reveal how little you really know...
well when it comes to making money and paying top bracket taxes I clearly know more than you will ever imagine.
I find it funny that people who don't succeed pretend to have so much more knowledge than those who have.
You clearly have a very active imagination. And the anonymous internet provides the perfect outlet.
Did you see the movie Catfish, yet?
I think it could be a very therapeutic experience for you.
You can pretend all you want even though others have informed you.
But the fact remains, most of the rants about the tax cuts comes from those who don't have the juice to be major league tax payers and are envious of those who do.
Why would I need education from you? I completed law school
Others? Who would that be?
The fact remains that you have never demonstrated in any thread even a basic understanding of the tax code or economics.
Though, you are quite talented at parroting talk radio talking points.
Well, since you brought it up, I have never seen anything that verifies that statement. IMO - You're complete lack of knowledge about the tax code would also indicate that you are not credible. Perhaps if you would actually post something other than generalized partisan talking points, we might be more convinced.
tell me hazlnut, if you are so wise about economics how come you aren't close to being in the top tax bracket? I have seen nothing from you that demonstrates you have a clue about how taxes work.
- another broken record talking point.All I see is someone who is mad that others are wealthy and you want the government to punish them.
I posted many detailed explanations for you, hoping to help you get a handle on some basic concepts... but you were unable to respond with any specifics, just the same broken record mindless talking points.
For example:

Next time we cover some economics or tax topics, I'll try to go slow when explaining things.
Yeah I amused at your attempts.
perhaps you ought to apply your vast knowledge to your personal economic condition and you can join me in being a high net taxpayer and with that perspective you will understand why its idiotic to keep jacking up taxes on other people

tax cuts helped those of us who pay too much in taxes
I agree with Hazelnut. First of all, you talk like the goal in life is to make to the high tax brackets. My goal is to make sure I have enough to live on retirement comfortably and afford my children's education. Anymore is called excess. Excess should be taxed. Why is cigarettes taxed heavily, a table taxed moderately and food taxed none in WI? The first is not necessary. The second is necessary some of the time. And the third is necesarry all the time. The same applies to people who obviously dont work 20x more/harder than somebody, but makes 20x more than somebody.
I know one would normally think that the more technology that there is then you would naturally need more educated people. But that's not entirely true. Technology has gotten to the point where a simple push of the button and reading some readouts will do the trick, combined with quality inspectors and thats much of all that needs to be done. Those people could be trained by the company itself to do what needs to be done, they could even train people for the jobs that do require hands on work. And really, wouldn't a company rather have someone that is trained for the specific job they need with their particular quirks in mind than someone fresh out of college that thinks they know what the company needs?

The poor, struggling millionaires and billionaires, suffering under the yoke of 19% tax rates.
Good points....too much money causes problems that most of us don't want to deal with.
I await with baited breath for you to show us which millionares and billionares pay a 19% tax rate.
Take your time formulating your answer.
it is class envy and what is really funny is what motivates itSounds alot like class envy to me.
Just because that what you want out of life doesn't mean that you get to force everyone else to accept that out of life.
Bottom line is, some people are more motivated and more ambitious than others. Those more motivated and ambitious people shouldn't be punished.
How are you going to feel, if one day, an agenda come along that says that having, " enough to live on retirement comfortably and afford my children's education", is considered excess and tells you that you must give up half of it? Basically, that's door you're opening.
