Boehner and GOP STILL in favor of Bush tax cuts

[DiamondDave]

Vengeance fantasies????

You're QUITE-obviously MUCH-too-young to remember the Clinton Years/1993 Deficit Reduction.



You need to move-along and quit embarrassing yourself. You've got nothing to offer....least-of-all a first-person point-of-reference.

​

Another winger site and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....

Yes.. it is boring and even nauseating that you continually link to left wing blogs and opinion pieces as fact or 'proof' for your stances...

And we'll be waiting for your explanation of why higher taxation leads to increased economic growth in the private sector

 

[johnrocks]

Why are Republicans so deathly-afraid of a prosperous-economy.....AGAIN??!!!

​

So taking money out of the private sector now would improve the economy,in your opinion?

What's that got-to-do with allowing BUSHCO's tax-cuts to die? ​

Tax rates would go back up thus more money would be taken out of the private sector wouldn't it?

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Do you have reading comprehension problems??

The subject (here) is MATH-related....and, you're obviously MATH-CHALLENGED!!!

You've got nothin' to offer.

Go away.

Then please show your math that equates the relationship to raising taxes to an increased national economy... and just showing coincidence in timing between increased taxation and an uptick in economic activity does not suffice...

I think it's more-a-matter o' you folks buying "Sweet" Mitch McConnell a DICTIONARY!!​

existing: to continue to be

increase: to make greater​

Ya' know....if Mitchie would cast-off some o' his shoe-boxes, hat-boxes & Jedgar Hoover Collection ball-gowns, he'd HAVE room (in his "closet"), for a few Dictionaries!!!!!

 

[DiamondDave]

Still waiting, troll

Or are you just going to keep posting links to winger sources (Olberman? Really?) and opinion pieces?

Show where increased taxation leads to an increased national economy. You keep stating it as truth, we're just asking you to back it up with data. And again, coincidence in timing does not equate to causation...

We'll still be waiting

Hey....if you want to sit-around with DiamondDave and sew deeper-pockets (for the 1%ers/high-roller$), in hopes they'll take MORE ca$h from small-businesses....and, everyone-else.....knock yourself OUT!!​

And you have failed to back up your assertion when asked AGAIN... hence (if we didn't already know) solidifying your troll status

Put up or shut up, troll

Go chase your tail, Skippy..... ​

"We need to pinch pennies these days. Don’t you know we have a budget deficit? For months that has been the word from Republicans and conservative Democrats, who have rejected every suggestion that we do more to avoid deep cuts in public services and help the ailing economy.

But these same politicians are eager to cut check$ averaging $3 million each to the richest 120,000 people in the country.

What — you haven’t heard about this proposal? Actually, you have: I’m talking about demands that we make all of the Bush tax cuts, not just those for the middle class, permanent.

Some background: Back in 2001, when the first set of Bush tax cuts was rammed through Congress, the legislation was written with a peculiar provision — namely, that the whole thing would expire, with tax rates reverting to 2000 levels, on the last day of 2010.

Why the cutoff date? In part, it was used to disguise the fiscal irresponsibility of the tax cuts: lopping off that last year reduced the headline cost of the cuts, because such costs are normally calculated over a 10-year period. It also allowed the Bush administration to pass the tax cuts using reconciliation — yes, the same procedure that Republicans denounced when it was used to enact health reform — while sidestepping rules designed to prevent the use of that procedure to increase long-run budget deficits.

Obviously, the idea was to go back at a later date and make those tax cuts permanent. But things didn’t go according to plan. And now, the witching hour is upon us."

Nice attempt at diversion again

Show, with data and facts, how increased taxation helps a private economy...

Quit your winger links, your op-ed columnists, and your color changing fonts

we're still waiting, troll...
