| Why can't Republicans explain their "Fiscal Policy"? I'm watching Michael Steele talk about Republican "fiscal policy". His only policy is "cut taxes". He said cutting taxes will lift people out of poverty. No mention of education. No mention of the job's bill Republicans blocked. No mention of building up American infrastructure. Just "cut taxes". I hate to break it to him, if you don't have a job, you aren't worrying about "taxes". So is that it? Cut taxes? Nothing else? If there is more, what is it?

USMB Republicans love to scream "liar". If they could prove facts are lies, they could win every debate. Instead of none. At least their record is "perfect". Bush Tax Cuts were supposed to be temporary, you know, when we had a surplus.  |

Cut taxes Study: Tax Cuts for the Rich Don So, the tax decrease "policy" is meant to make the gov smaller and put more $ in the back pocket of those with very high incomes. Because, after all, those very wealthy are the very ones who support the repubs. What a surprise. |

 Mebbe `cause the Dems can't explain theirs - payroll tax holiday ends for all wage earners...  Obama supporters shocked, angry at new tax increases Sunday, January 6, 2013 - Sometimes, watching a Democrat learn something is wonderful, like seeing the family dog finally sit and stay at your command. Quote: With President Obama back in office and his life-saving “fiscal cliff” bill jammed through Congress, the new year has brought a surprising turn of events for his sycophantic supporters. “What happened that my Social Security withholding’s in my paycheck just went up?” a poster wrote on the liberal site DemocraticUnderground.com. “My paycheck just went down by an amount that I don’t feel comfortable with. I guarantee this decrease is gonna’ hurt me more than the increase in income taxes will hurt those making over 400 grand. What happened?” Shocker. Democrats who supported the president’s re-election just had NO idea that his steadfast pledge to raise taxes meant that he was really going to raise taxes. They thought he planned to just hit those filthy “1 percenters,” you know, the ones who earned fortunes through their inventiveness and hard work. They thought the free ride would continue forever. So this week, as taxes went up for millions of Americans — which Republicans predicted throughout the campaign would happen — it was fun to watch the agoggery of the left. “I know to expect between $93 and $94 less in my paycheck on the 15th,” wrote the ironically named “RomneyLies.” “My boyfriend has had a lot of expenses and is feeling squeezed right now, and having his paycheck shrink really didn’t help,” wrote “DemocratToTheEnd.” “BlueIndyBlue” added: “Many of my friends didn’t realize it, either. Our payroll department didn’t do a good job of explaining the coming changes.” So let’s explain something to our ill-informed Democratic friends. In 2009, Mr. Obama enacted a “holiday” on the payroll tax deduction from employees’ paychecks, dropping the rate from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent. But like the holidays, the drop ended, and like New Year‘s, the revelers woke up the next morning with a massive hangover and a pounding head.

Obama requested that it be extended. Congress did not do so. So, me boy, you are posting con dogma. Bullshit, in other words. Which is why you should NEVER use a source lie the Wn. Times, for christ sake, with out vetting the story carefully. Here are the facts: Social Security taxes had been 6.2 percent of gross pay since 1990 and they remained at 6.2 percent until 2011 when Congress and President Obama agreed to temporarily reduce the tax from 6.2 percent to 4.2 percent as part of an economic stimulus package. The reduction in the tax rate shocked many and was the first time Social Security taxes had been reduced since 1968. The two percent reduction in tax wasn’t anything substantial, but it certainly made a difference for those scraping to get by and living from paycheck to paycheck. Now, the honeymoon is over. The Social Security tax holiday is behind us and taxes are now back at their original 6.2 percent rate. This means that any American who pays Social Security taxes (i.e., almost every one of us) will witness a drop in net pay effective immediately. Social Security taxes to increase in 2013 - Houston Finance | Examiner.com Obama made overtures to continue the tax holiday, but got no takers in congress. Neither dems nor repubs had any interest. So, thanks a lot Congress. An actual stimulative tax cut has no interest to them, since it is to low income folks. Maybe because they do not finance politicians. |

You see, Bozman, most people may actually know that Reagan tried the republican plan, which was the same then as now. And it drove the unemployment rate up to 10.8%. Worst all time except for the great depression. Then, Reagan raised taxes 11 times, borrowed enough to triple the national debt, and used stimulus spending. And it worked. And then, of course, we had W. He cut taxes heavily, and created fewer jobs than any president since the great depression started. And brought us the Great Republican Recession of 2008. So, yeah, that tax cutting really works. So, this pres has a jobs bill. And most people remember the Clinton admin, who used similar techniques to lower unemployment, create more jobs than any president ever, have a booming economy, and end up with a DEFICIT. Here is what people think of the jobs bill: Quote: But when the legislation's details are included in a follow-up question -- that it would cut payroll taxes, fund new road construction, extend unemployment benefits, and that it would be paid for by increasing taxes on the wealthy -- 63 percent say they favor the bill and 32 percent oppose it. What's more, 64 percent of respondents agree with the statement that it is a "good idea" to raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations, because they should pay their fair share and can afford to pay more to help fund programs and government operations.

For the longest time you thought you were being so profound about Reagan only to learn that you were tricking yourself out of desperation to finally win just only argument. Are you ashamed of yourself. Would your mother be ashamed of your Nazi-like ego mania? |
