168 Republicans voted to raise your taxes!

[Synthaholic]

That is false. This is a tax cut that affects everybody.

nope, it doesnt

Yes, it does. Everyone gets the same tax cut up to 250k.

The wingnuts here are some of the stupidest on the internets!

 

[Synthaholic]

if that were the case, why would people close to the next bracket do everything they can to avoid going into it

you are wrong

Dude, I'm right. Look it up how our tax brackets work. Everyone is taxed the same on the same income earned. The tax increase for is only for income earned over 250k. The first 250k is taxed just like the rest of us.

that is not how it is
you go into the next bracket, your entire income is taxed at that rate

Wrong, idiot.

LMAO

Not it's not. Whoever told you that is lying.

then that is something thats been changed
because i remember having LESS net income by making just a few dollars over the next bracket

I guess Sean Hannity lied to you. I'm so sorry.

 

[Synthaholic]

Boy oh boy. You guys love to argue semantics. Heres the deal.

The middle class is not getting a tax cut. END OF STORY. They are just having their taxes remain the same.

The Upper class, at least the way this bill stands, will be having their taxable income rate go up. END OF STORY.

So you can look at this a couple of ways. The republicans voted against raising taxes forsome and keeping them the same for others AND The democrats voted to raise taxes for some and keep them the same for others.

The 168 republicans DID NOT VOTE FOR ANYTHING like the thread title would suggest. This is a lame attempt at trying to make the republicans out as something that didn't do.

They voted against cutting taxes. That means they voted to raise taxes.

That is bullshit. Do you even earn income? OMFG! Talk to your accountant or hire one if you don't have one.

No. He doesn't.

Comprehension of what one is reading is a good thing.

They believe that reading comprehension is elitist.

Why do you say they hate rich people when this bill included a tax cut for them?

There is no tax cut you dumbfuck. The issue is whether or not to keep the current tax rate and not let it expire. Letting it expire would mean a tax increase.


Damn you're stupid!

The taxes were scheduled to go up, by Republican design.

The Democrats removed that schedule, keeping the taxes from going up.

Thank you, House Democrats! Thank you Speaker Pelosi!

Why are these dumbasses trying to cut taxes when tax cuts are bad for the economy and don't pay for themselves?

Congressman Steve King

Watching Rep. Congressman Steve King on "The Last Word" was a hoot. Stevie said number one priority should be taxes to those making over 250,000 a year. The host asked him how many in his district were millionaires? He said he didn't know.

It was pointed out that only 1% of the people in his district made OVER two hundred thousand. That means those making over 250 thousand were way less than 1%.

Steve King was asked if he was willing to hold up unemployment in his district AND increase taxes for everyone else over tax breaks for less than 1% of his constituents.

Of course he refused to answer. Then King went on a rant that the CBO said the Dream Act will cost 20 billion dollars, which he even has on his web site.. The host said the official press release by the CBO was that it was deficit neutral. King said the CBO had a "secret" report. The host said, "If you have such a report, produce it".

Then Steve King went on a rant that Republicans won because American prefer their policies. So I guess if Americans want lies and voodoo, then he is probably correct.

Me? I don't like liars. It's why I don't like the Republican leadership. Too much dishonestly.

I saw that. Lawrence O'Donnell destroyed him with facts, and all he could do was sit there with a fake, frozen smile. Another 30 seconds and the sweat would have started to bead up on his forehead.

nope, it doesnt

Yes, it does. Every single American gets a tax cut on the first $250,000.

Do you have any more FAIL to spread?

First, nobody is getting a tax cut. The options right now are to raise taxes on everyone, some, or none. Secondly, the tax increase on the amount over 250K is more than the savings on your so-called "tax cut."

False. It's a continuation of the Bush Tax Cuts. What part of 'cut' do you need help with?

Bonus info: the only reason these tax cuts are expiring at all is because Republicans used Reconciliation to pass it in the first place, and the law states that it must expire when you use such maneuvers. The same Reconciliation that they attacked last year when the Democrats wanted to use it:

Rep. Paul Ryan slams reconciliation, Slaughter Solution, backroom sleaze behind HCR


GOP threatens Dems: If you try reconciliation, we’ll go nuclear with amendments


Reid to Republicans: "Stop crying over reconciliation"
​

Secondly, the tax increase on the amount over 250K is more than the savings on your so-called "tax cut."

So what?

It's a proposal for a tax increase either way.

The Bush tax legislation raises the taxes in 2011. The tax increase is already in place legislatively. Only a tax cut can change that.

Uh, no. These tax cuts were not intended to be permanent. So any extension to 2011 and beyond would be a tax cut from what is already scheduled.
