Republicans vote against Bush tax cuts...

[The T]

You guys should really cease the discourse with US Citizen. This guy is on here all day, and probably one of the leeches we are paying to do NOTHING.

 

[mudwhistle]

Nope just letting a temporary tax reduction expire.

cui bono?

Sonny Bono's kid?

Actually not voting to extend the tax cuts is not voting for a tax increase.
It is just letting the origional bill expire like it was designed to.

Bush tried for years to make it permanent or at least extend it....and now the Dems are trying to use class-warfare to raise our taxes in the middle of a terrible economy. The Dems are the reason they were temporary.

 

[The T]

And the Democrats passed an extension

only three republicans voted to extend

20 Democrats voted against the extension

GOOD for those that voted against it.

Enough is enough.

regardless of the reason, the bill is doing as it was designed to.
Although it only seemed to create jobs in the finiancial field which is a cause of much of our present economic woes.

That's exactly what they are trying to do and fronting lame logic that the unemployed will ADD to Job Creation. Just ask Madame Pelosi.

its an old latin phrase for ‘who benefits’ usually used to infer “seek the root of the issue”, who gains the most is usually he or her with an agenda.

The gov. has extended all sorts of laws, ignored some etc etc since the gov. was created.

they are playing semantics- if they allow them to expire the gov gains, if they extend them they gain nothing, nor does those that pay, gain anything, the loser is who? Extend them its a wash.

The graphic you showed just had years 2008 and 2009 in it.

 

[Trajan]

yes it was a q1 2010 report....and?

 

[uscitizen]

yes it was a q1 2010 report....and?

I sad something like the tax cuts created jobs in the finiancial industry.
And you replied back with a 2008/2009 report showing a job loss in the finiancial industries.
When were the tax cuts enacted and how did finiancial jobs do after it's enactment?
Not just for the last 2 years after a finiancial collapse. Duh!

Then I have misunderstood, my impression was you were against keeping them in place?


to answer the question though, I suspect they did as well as the other sectors did which brought our unemployment rate down to 4.6% as its best in the bush years.

I also suspect that the war and debt spending of nearly 5 trillion had someting to do with the unemployment rate dropping.

Perhaps the tax cuts dropped the unemployment rate, perhaps they did not.
No way to prove it either way. It is pretty much a faith thing.
And yes I am against extending the tax cuts.

Well becuase the debt is way too high and it is for certain that congress will not cut spending by any noticable level, and extending the tax cuts will just make things worse.
Kind of a damned if you do and damned if you dont. But by letting tax cuts expire perhaps people will actually raise enough stink to get things moving a bit.

 

[Cuyo]

The dirty little secret is that the Dems aren't telling us this is Gross income...not net.

If you're making over $250k but only have $50k in profit you're gonna get nailed with a huge increase in your taxes. Because of the weak economy many small businesses are in this state. This tax increase will force many of them to cut employees, shrink their business to fit the changing tax code, or just fold their business completely.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

 

[uscitizen]

Anyone have a chart of federal income tax revenue for the past decade?
