Americans enjoy lower tax rates under Obama

Deficit spending is deferred taxation.


Fail.


Ahh, so all the deficit spending under President Bush was "deferred taxation"? Deferred to when, when Obama took office? Deferred to later dates than that?

so, you adimit that the trillions in deficit spending under Bush was TAXES? why didn't you say that back then?
I won't argue with that...But where was the left when Chimpola was spending like a drunken sailor?

Oh yeah, they were getting in on the bonanza.
 
Government spending as a percentage of GDP is the same now as when Reagan was in office....23%. But since the financial crisis in 2008, revenues as a share of GDP have hit 60-year lows, coming in at around 15%. And yet the Republicans signed the Grover Norquist "tax pledge" not to raise taxes.
 
so now we are suppose to be thankful for Obama..

omg

Well if you don't like tax cuts for the middle class..

Then maybe not.

:D

so now you love the Bush tax cuts?. you are all thankful for Bush right?

you people are all over the place..
Were you homeschooled?

From the article:

The tax burden — which includes all forms of federal levies, including income, payroll and corporate taxes — lightened for households across the board, the result in part of Obama’s signature “Making Work Pay” tax credit and other tax cuts passed as part of the 2009 economic stimulus package, the CBO said.
 
The Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest five percent of Americans cost the U.S. Treasury $11.6 million every hour, according to the National Priorities Project. Between 2001 and the current projected end of the Bush tax cut extension, tax cuts for the wealthiest 5 percent will cost the U.S. Treasury $1.184 trillion. If extended through 2021 as gop lawmakers propose, the total cost will exceed $3.2 trillion.
 
Well if you don't like tax cuts for the middle class..

Then maybe not.

:D

Oh we do but we also want the rich to hang around too. Ubama keeps raising the tax on them and say good bye to them and the jobs too.
Did the rich run away when Clinton raised the top rate to 39%?

Its just they are not going to put up with it anymore. In other words they aren't going to put up with Ubama anymore. They know how he wastes money and doesn't know how to handle it. They are smarter than Ubama.
 
Our taxes are too low, they have to be raised.

But none of our pols have the balls to do it.

you could just volunteer all your money you work for, I'm sure the people won't mind

That's bullshit.

All of us need to pay more in taxes.

And Ubama wants us to pay more taxes that we have in income. Just keep watching. He comes up with a new one at least once a week.
 
Lawd, so Obama is claiming the "Bush" tax cuts as his now. Woooo Hoooo!! They guy is finally taking responsibility for something!! WTG Obama tax cuts saved us $$$$$$$$$$$$.
are those the ONLY tax cuts under Obama?

Nope, he's shorting the SS tax, you know the one that's already in trouble. BTW, only people that actually work are seeing any benefit from that cut. If you don't have a job, you don't pay in to SS. ;)
 
so now we are suppose to be thankful for Obama..

they just shoved a monster bill down our throats when we could least afford it, but we should be THANKFUL

omg

It's time you stop mooching and purchase health insurance.

Well if Ubama would stop spending so much and leave the taxpayers wallets where they belong we wouldn't need too mooch at all.

So it's Obamas fault that you are a deadbeat. A deadbeat would blame someone else.
 
Our taxes are too low, they have to be raised.

Bull shit. Cut entitlement. There is to many of them to begin with.>>Lets start with NO MORE FREE cell phones...

I think we should start by you getting off your fat ass and getting a job.

Yah. Maybe we should contact Ubama and see if there are any jobs his loving illegals might not want. Keep our fingers crossed. He loves those illegals more than his our country.
 
Americans paid the lowest tax rates in 30 years to the federal government in 2009, in part because of tax cuts President Obama sought to combat the Great Recession, congressional budget analysts said Tuesday.

Well, shit happens when your income goes to hell in a hand basket.

Why are you leftists so challenged when it comes to simple finance and economics? Perhaps you guys should lay off the Druid Philosophy classes and take Econ 101.

That's not true. We are paying out enormous taxes. What is down isn't taxes, it's revenue. With fewer people working, less overall taxes are being paid so democrats can say "See taxes are down". That's what democrats have never been able to understand. They firmly believe that the way to increase revenue is to increase taxes, when the reverse is true.
