Seems that republican "experts" are in favor of letting the tax cuts expire.
Alan Greenspan and others say, Raise taxes now - Aug. 9, 2010
They are the ones who have a huge impact on those most affected...as you well know.
Actually, I don't well know. The richest Americans do NOT necessarily create the jobs. The simply amass more wealth.
They don't? Then who do you suppose DOES create the jobs . . . oh, wait. I forgot who I was talking to. Obviously, it's the government which creates jobs.
What I'm for or against is not the issue. The question is, what might be the consequences of such a policy of taxation? Consider in your response how wealth concentrated in the few, in a time where Citizens United is the law of the land, may impact the principles upon which our nation was founded.
A Glib response is not okay. You propose a radical change, if you want to be taken seriously and not considered a crackpot, answer the question. What will be the consequence of such a tax policy?
The government does not exist to relieve consequences of individuals.... unlike what progressive lefties would like you to believe....
Those who are wealthy have the freedom to be wealthy.. to keep their wealth.. or to spend it... or whatever else they wish to do with it.... with freedoms come both positives and negatives
What is a radical position is the position of selective equality... which has been steadily growing in our big government abomination
What are the consequences? A shift in the acceptance of government power and unchecked spending, for a person/voter with a stake in the game will choose much differently than one with no stake in the game... A precedent returning of blind and equal treatment of all citizens, regardless of income..
One principle that we were not founded on, that could start to slip out of tendrils of big nanny government, is the concept of the free ride for some at the expense of others, facilitated by the very government that is in place to protect our freedoms
If the proper reduced spending is partnered with the finding of the right % taxation on every dollar earned by all citizens there should be no negative consequence to how effectively the government will run within the confines of the powers granted to it
That answers my question, you're a crackpot. Critical thinking is not your forte nor have you learned any history. It is easy to rely on emotions, they require no thought.

The person stating that equal treatment in taxation leads to a caste system is calling someone else a crackpot... oh, that is rich.. LMAO
Maybe you should actually study the history surrounding what is actually contained within the constitution and the context in which it was written

The government creates NOTHING. The government doesn't produce a dime yet depends solely on the private sector as a source of tax collections. Which make it all the sillier when I hear these big-government fans screaching "tax 'em tax 'em tax 'em"!
Then when they're broke, they bitch they're not creating enough jobs/wealth.

Boehner remphasized his support for extending the Bush tax cuts on the Sunday talk shows, while at the same time, talking out of the other side of his ass and damning the Obama administration for not being fiscally responsible.
The tax legislation enacted under President George W. Bush from 2001 through 2006 will cost $2.48 trillion over the 2001-2010 period.
This includes the revenue loss of $2.11 trillion that results directly from the Bush tax cuts as well as the $379 billion in additional interest payments on the national debt that we must make since the tax cuts were deficit-financed.

GOP politics as usual?
And may I ask what, precisely, is "fiscally irresponsible" about tax cuts?
Yea and??...Do you have a point hidden somewhere in this post? I agree with Boehner and Millions of other Americans do too. Hmm?

Tax cuts are fiscally irresponsible if they are not accompanied by spending cuts. Taxes pay for the spending. The Republicans want the tax cuts extended without paying for them by cutting spending. That's makes them fiscally irresponsible.
Politics as usual.......
Let's remember that these tax cuts were rammed through a republican controlled congress by RECONCILATION. The very process the republicans tried to convince americans would lead to our damnation if used during the health care debate. The sunset clause is there for a reason -- to let the dumb stupid tax increases expire especially for the top 1%. I understand that the rest of the tax cuts wil probably be extended. good. but let's quit providing welfare to the rich.

How is allowing someone; weather they make $30000 or $30000000 a year; to keep more of what they earned, welfare?
