John Boehner Calls Tax Break For Middle Class ‘Chicken-Shit’

[Cammmpbell]

Why dont you apply your own logic to the bush tax cuts for the wealthiest?

They don't understand it......they're a little slow actually

oh I understand it fine I just have more on the ball and am not a jealous hack who has so little sense that I am easily led like a sheep. hows that grass taste ?

has it occurred to you that if the end of the world now hangs on a 2% fica rebate, maybe just maybe thats symptomatic of badly the messiah has NOT delivered on the economy?

No, probably not.

go watch MSLSD, now, don't miss a thing, your master is calling. Take the monkey with you.

LMAO! Just curious...are you on meds or do you just act that way

 

[Political Junky]

The trickle down theory is working well, except it is all trickling up....Thank you Ronald Reagan!

In the ten years since the Bush tax cuts the US has gone into the hole.

[hortysir]

Republican propaganda.

DEMAND CREATES JOBS.

How do you create demand?

Thru spending.

Through spending by the CONSUMER, not the Government

So if the government contracts private firms to build bridges and repair roads, those firms wont hire people to do these jobs? That money wont increase demand for their products?

Im not sure i get what your main thesis is. Do you simply think money spent by the government is simply gone?

I was referring to tangible goods more than infrastructure projects.
But since you brought them up, they ARE mostly temporary and between no-bid contracts, palm-greasing, and outrageous prices, YES most of that money does vanish into the pockets of county commissioners, lobbyists, and union bosses.

 

[kiwiman127]

it is chicken shit. its basically a rebate. and as a job enhancer, hasn't done much.

46% of folks pay no net fed. taxes, half of those via tax credits receive net money back which basically refunds all of their fica, plus some. Now we lop off another 2%. and as a Paygo answer, don't cut anything god forbid, we enact a 10 year tax on biz and 'ultra' rich (all 150K of the bastards) yes Virgina a large part of those folks are in the biz racket, s corps, medium small margin businesses.
of course left unsaid in the democratic media talking machine is the fact that all investment income for these rich ( and 250Kers) will have a surcharge of 3.8% enacted next year as well......thank you Obamacare.

classwarfare; the least intellectually honest, vacuous and dishonest of 'arguments'..... say BAAAAAA

More people would be paying net taxes if they hadn't had flat wages for the last three decades that fell behind inflation, despite excellent worker productivity and corporate profits! And that's the workers fault?

The below graphs show the Class Warfare that has been going on for decades. This is the Class Warfare that Trajan willfully ignores. Graphs 1 & 3 show the growing income inequality. Graph 2 shows the US workers "sinking like a rock" share of the National Income.

 

[Chris]

This chart tells the whole story....

 

[cbirch2]

And 46% of people pay no federal income tax because theyre fucking poor you idiot.

Besides, they still pay plenty of other assorted taxes.

so 46% of the country is poor? who knew....imbecile. get the monkey from behind the KB.

not 46%, bet a very significant fraction of that does not pay taxes because theyre poor.

Well the second half of that was entirely assumption so its pointless to really even address.

But see, the effects arent temporary. A dollar spent by the government isnt just one dollar added to the economy. Thats one dollar to a company, which partially goes back to its supplier, who sends another part to his workers, who spend it, which goes back to more consumption.

Learn fiscal multipliers.

Tax cuts = 0.94
Infrustructure = 1.44

When government borrows money its taking it from people who wouldnt invest it in more risky assets. It can allocate money that would be spent on projects with a low fiscal multiplier (bonds) or maybe not even spent at all, and invest it in things that have a defacto 1+ fiscal multiplier.

 

[rdean]

It's sound reasoning. The more money they have, the more jobs we have.....

Tax rates for the rich are the lowest they have ever been.

How's that working out?

The boy-king you elected has employers, terrified and afraid to hire. They have no clue how much they will be taxed for many things, including healthcare costs, per employee. So they are holding back and I would too. They don't know what their overhead ( business expenses ) are going to be, until he is out of office....

Boy? Are you one of those who say, "I'm not racist and have never said anything racist"? Or are you one of those we can respect for putting their racist views right out there for everyone on the right to applaud?

Actually, business has been saying at Crain, Forbes, Businessweek and so on that "lack of demand" is what keeps them from hiring. They have been saying "lack of demand", Republicans hear "uncertainty" but business has been saying "lack of demand". This is evidence that Republicans know nothing about business. That or they're lying. Probably both.

Obama a Constitutional Law Professor?
Posted on March 28, 2008

Q: Was Barack Obama really a constitutional law professor?

A: His formal title was "senior lecturer," but the University of Chicago Law School says he "served as a professor" and was "regarded as" a professor.

FULL QUESTION


When I was in law school, I addressed all of my course instructors as "professors," regardless of their rank or formal position in the school academic hierarchy (tenured professor, assistant professor, adjunct professor, lecturer, etc.). Was Obama exaggerating or factually wrong in referring to himself as a "constitutional law professor" at the University of Chicago Law School even though his official title was lecturer?

FULL ANSWER

Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor," most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution." A spokesman for the Republican National Committee immediately took exception to Obama’s remarks, pointing out that Obama’s title at the University of Chicago was "senior lecturer" and not "professor."

Recently, Hillary Clinton’s campaign has picked up on this charge. In a March 27 conference call with reporters, Clinton spokesman Phil Singer claimed:

Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor” out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you’ll find that there is … you’ll get quite an emotional response.

Why would employers be scared of that when you have a Republican house of representatives?

FactCheck.org : Obama a Constitutional Law Professor?

Well you get to deal with this guest lecturer until 2016 so might as well get used to it.

 

[cbirch2]

Wow, could you have just read your own article a little further!? You are such a lying little piece of shit!

"UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined."

Are you stupid you little runt?

Lets read on further. Who was he a "senior lecturer" with?

"Furthermore, Obama was not merely an "instructor" as Phil Singer stated. As a "senior lecturer," Obama was in good company: The six other faculty members with the title include the associate dean of the law school and Judge Richard Posner, who is widely considered to be one of the nation’s top legal theorists."

Your so full of shit kid. Open your eyes

"However, on this matter the University of Chicago Law School itself is not standing on formality, and is siding with Obama."

Oh I see, JUST because a law school DECLARES him a Professor that MAKES IT SO. Where did he go to school to get his MBA?

we'll wait..

and you are the peice of shit..and dismissed

why didn't he graduate summa cum laude?

you do realize that as a magna, depending on the % of honors bestowed amongst his class he could have had a C average...right?

and, he was NOT a 'professor', he was a 'senior lecturer'.

and, since you brought it up, why did he surrender his law license? just wondering....(michelle to btw)
