Obama will raise taxes on the middle class in 100 days

[Black_Label]

if the middle class is now the poor as you say....that makes Obama TWICE as bad......

just think.....Obama is going to raise taxes and take food out of the mouths of babes just so he can stick to his marxist agenda of taxing the rich.....

he's going to raise income tax on the most poor by 50%......how can you SUPPORT that....?

Holy hell are you stupid.

is not the lowest tax bracket jumping from 10% to 15% in 100 days.....?

that's a 50% hike....

If the republicans refuse to be adults and work with Obama, yes they may force taxes to be restored on the middle class and the poor.

How can going back to Clinton's dynamite tax plan that gave us the biggest surplus in US history cause a recession?

There never was a surplus, that was just more smoke and mirrors from your beloved Clinton. Nor, did Clinton have a damn thing to do with the great economy that existed during most of his eight years. That great economy was caused by two booms, the dot com boom and the housing boom. The dot.com boom busted as Clinton left office, and the housing boom began to bust a couple of years later.

The projected surplus was based on rosy economic predictions that had ceased to exist in the last year of the Clinton administration. More smoke and mirrors from your beloved Clinton. Perhaps you forgot that the economy went into recession just three months after Clinton left office.

Yes, there was the biggest surplus in US history, as well as massive job growth and a booming economy because that's what strong democratic positions do

or maybe it's just what strong Republican Congresses do.....

If that was the case, why didn't W put Clinton to shame? He had a locked (R) congress and presidency. If the GOP trash were so great at handling things, why did they take the biggest surplus in US history and make it the biggest deficit? Not to mention sent the economy into the toilet, massive job losses, insane spending etc,..
You would have to be mentally ill to support the GOP, or think they have EVER done anything positive for the economy.
Just look at the graph, there hasn't been a republican that has balanced the budget since Nixon, and that's only because he was riding off a wave from LBJ!

bullshit.....

the republicans have a good reason......they want to encourage the creation of more JOBS......

what is Obama's goal.....? destroy them.....?

let's be clear here......Bush was pretty much a liberal in many ways......there were lots of things he did i didn't support.....there wasn't a bill from the very spendy Democrat Congress that he didn't put his signature on.....

and the ONLY reason Clinton balanced the budget was because Gingrich et al MADE him....

Obama hasn't even GOT a budget.......in 4 frikken years........

"Taxmagedon" will hit families and small businesses in three great waves on January 1, 2013:

First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief

In 2001 and 2003, the GOP Congress enacted several tax cuts for small business owners, families, and investors (later re-upped by President Obama and Democrat Congress in 2010). The following tax hikes will occur on January 1, 2013:

Personal income tax rates will rise on January 1, 2013. The top income tax rate will rise from 35 to 39.6 percent (this is also the rate at which the majority of small business profits are taxed). The lowest rate will rise from 10 to 15 percent. All the rates in between will also rise. Itemized deductions and personal exemptions will again phase out, which has the same mathematical effect as higher marginal tax rates. The full list of marginal rate hikes is below:

-The 10% bracket rises to a new and expanded 15%

-The 25% bracket rises to 28%

-The 28% bracket rises to 31%

-The 33% bracket rises to 36%

-The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%

Higher taxes on marriage and family coming on January 1, 2013. The “marriage penalty” (narrower tax brackets for married couples) will return from the first dollar of taxable income. The child tax credit will be cut in half from $1000 to $500 per child. The standard deduction will no longer be doubled for married couples relative to the single level.

Middle Class Death Tax returns on January 1, 2013. The death tax is currently 35% with an exemption of $5 million ($10 million for married couples). For those dying on or after January 1 2013, there is a 55 percent top death tax rate on estates over $1 million. A person leaving behind two homes and a retirement account could easily pass along a death tax bill to their loved ones.

Higher tax rates on savers and investors on January 1, 2013. The capital gains tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 23.8 percent in 2013. The top dividends tax will rise from 15 percent this year to 43.4 percent in 2013. This is because of scheduled rate hikes plus Obamacare’s investment surtax.

Second Wave: Obamacare Tax Hikes

There are twenty new or higher taxes in Obamacare. Some have already gone into effect (the tanning tax, the medicine cabinet tax, the HSA withdrawal tax, W-2 health insurance reporting, and the “economic substance doctrine”). Several more will go into effect on January 1, 2013. They include:

The Obamacare Medical Device Tax begins to be assessed on January 1, 2013. Medical device manufacturers employ 409,000 people in 12,000 plants across the country. This law imposes a new 2.3% excise tax on gross sales – even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. Exempts items retailing for <$100.

The Obamacare Medicare Payroll Tax Hike takes effect on January 1, 2013. The Medicare payroll tax is currently 2.9 percent on all wages and self-employment profits. Starting in 2013, wages and profits exceeding $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of married couples) will face a 3.8 percent rate.

The Obamacare “Special Needs Kids Tax” comes online on January 1, 2013. Imposes a cap on FSAs of $2500 (now unlimited). Indexed to inflation after 2013. There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education. This Obamacare cap harms these families.

The Obamacare “Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deductions goes into force on January 1, 2013. Currently, those facing high medical expenses are allowed a deduction for medical expenses to the extent that those expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI). The new provision imposes a threshold of 10 percent of AGI. Waived for 65+ taxpayers in 2013-2016 only.

Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes

When Americans prepare to file their tax returns in January of 2013, they’ll be in for a nasty surprise—the AMT won’t be held harmless, and many tax relief provisions will have expired. These tax increases will be in force for BOTH 2012 and 2013. The major items include:

The AMT will ensnare over 31 million families, up from 4 million last year. According to the left-leaning Tax Policy Center, Congress’ failure to index the AMT will lead to an explosion of AMT taxpaying families—rising from 4 million last year to 31 million. These families will have to calculate their tax burdens twice, and pay taxes at the higher level. The AMT was created in 1969 to ensnare a handful of taxpayers.

Full business expensing will disappear. In 2011, businesses can expense half of their purchases of equipment. Starting on 2013 tax returns, all of it will have to be “depreciated” (slowly deducted over many years).

Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. There are literally scores of tax hikes on business that will take place. The biggest is the loss of the “research and experimentation tax credit,” but there are many, many others. Combining high marginal tax rates with the loss of this tax relief will cost jobs.

Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. The deduction for tuition and fees will not be available. Tax credits for education will be limited. Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses. Coverdell Education Savings Accounts will be cut. Employer-provided educational assistance is curtailed. The student loan interest deduction will be disallowed for hundreds of thousands of families.

Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed. Under current law, a retired person with an IRA can contribute up to $100,000 per year directly to a charity from their IRA. This contribution also counts toward an annual “required minimum distribution.” This ability will no longer be there.

"Obama will raise taxes" what a lying sack of shit. The epically failed bush tax cuts for the rich was a temporary stimulus that didn't do a damn thing but send us soaring into debt. Obama also has never presenting raising taxes a dime on 98% of americans, but if the GOP shitheads are going to be pussy bitches again, just let all the tax breaks expire.

Fuck you.

 

[thereisnospoon]

I swear the left whackadoodles are as bad as the right wingnuts. An expiring tax cut is no more an increase than not increasing funding for something is a cut. And even if it were it has squat to do with Obama.

If tax rates rise from current levels, that is an increase. Period.

well stupid those "tax cuts for the rich" were also "tax cuts for the middle class"......a package deal....

and now OBAMA is going to let them ALL expire......because he wants to "tax the rich" like a stupid liberal.....taxing the rich will only cut like a measly 5% off our deficit....

Dumb fuck. We should go back to the Clinton tax schedule for everybody. And add 5% more for the incomes over 1 million.
