Obama lowered taxes..not raised them.

Of course they didn't notice it. You listen to something long enough, and you're gullible enough, You'll believe it. The lie that Obama has raised taxes is one widely believed by Conservatives. It's amazing how they react when shown proof of the exact opposite. It's like..

Ohh yeahhh!

Still waiting to see actual 1040s that show a decrease in tax rates. Mine went up due to AMT. None of the tax cuts promised by the stimulus made it to anyone I know.
 
Conservatives have been claiming that Obama is "about to" raise taxes for the last 2 years.

None of this has happened yet. The Bush tax cuts for people making less than 200,000 a year will be extended by a lame-duck session. 98% of Americans will not see a tax increase on 1/1/11.
no, what they will see is a decrease in income as those making over $200K wont be able to afford to PAY them

If the Bush tax cuts for people making over 200,000 expire, a person making 250,000 dollars a year will owe less than 300 dollars more than they did last year.

You got a credit, which was later taxed.

Not a tax cut under any definition.
 
Lowering taxes might be considered communist...since communists don't pay taxes..

Hmm..new Republican slogan?

Obama lowered your TAXES. Soon You will be paying NO TAXES. LIKE COMMIES!!!

No.

He did lower taxes.

Actually had tax cuts for businesses in the stimulus package. Nearly 40% of the stimulus package was tax cuts.

The lie is that taxes got raised.

His programs passed by his willing Statist accomplices saw to that taxes WILL rise. To use the mantra of the Left here? 'Who's gonna pay for them'...?

no, they didnt
lowering the rate of withholding is NOT lowering the actual taxes you will pay on April 15th

and i havent seen anyone claim that actual taxes were raised, yet, but that they WILL rise
and they will HAVE to rise

conservatives run, thrive and breed on fear. They love to be afraid and to scare others.

Conservatives are the opposite of "the home of the brave" mentality that we are so proud of in the usa. Conservatives live in the home of the cowards.
sounds more like democrats to me

ok, tell me which issues democrats use fear to get votes.

Here are the ones conservatives use:

"if you vote for the democrats, we will be attacked again".

umm.... We have been attacked several times. Anyone remember Ft Hood, Times Square, "underwear" bomber, ... Did i miss one?

democrats will raise your taxes.
this will happen.... I guarantee it

democrats will have the government pay for partial birth abortions.
its in the healthcare bill

democrats are socialists/marxist/communist.....
have you seen the czars and several other members of his administration?

bla bla bla.


fail!

A person making 250k a year at 35 percent will pay approx 87K in taxes, with no withholdings. Of course that all changes with amount of dependents, write offs etc. A person making 250k a year at 39.6 percent will pay approx 98k in taxes. It will be substantially more than 300 bucks. And of course the AMT comes in to kick your ass too.

One more Conservative who doesn't understand marginal tax rates.

This gets funnier by the day.
 
Trickle-Up Poverty Economics really goes into hyper-drive on 1/1/11!!!!

The goal????

Its actually quite fcukking brilliant!!! Take enough from working class Americans and the ones who create jobs and make more entitlement programs. Make enough Americans dependent on the government and you have a permanent voting block and permanent power. There would be no need for elections!!

Thats a good book....

I'm not an accountant but I have built up two companies and sold them. I'm very aware of where the money is going, costs, corporate taxes, labor, and so on. This isn't some fictional outlay into the academia world of theoretical axioms. This is real life that affects people.
 
Of course Republicans had a chance to compromise on the sunset of the unfunded Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

When they expire they expire for everyone.

Democrats were more then happy to compromise and leave them for 95% of the electorate.

Republicans refused. They are the party of NO. And No compromise.

This is the kind of ignorance that makes these discussions so frustrating. Please go study marginal rates.
