Why is the Left Never Called on the "Tax Cuts only for the Rich"?...

[mal]

(43)'s Tax Cuts were for Everyone... Fact.

As a Matter of Fact, as the AP Documented, the DemocRATS are Proposing to Extend the Bush Tax Cuts for those making $250,000 or less a Year...

The AP Refers to this, in a round about way, as 75% of the Total Tax Cuts that (43) put through... It "Costing" $3 Trillion...

The REPUBLICans Propose leaving them all in place, "Costing" $4 Trillion...

So why do Liberals Continue to Lie as they Suggest that 75% of the Bush Tax Cust Remain?...

Anyone on the Left want to Answer this?



peace...

That is indeed 1 thing that the left wingers on here ignore, that the tax cuts were not 'just for the rich'... they were indeed for the vast majority of the income tax paying citizenry... and they will also play with the numbers to suit their agenda

How are those paying ZERO in income taxes entitled to pay none? Why?? Because of the leftist agenda of selective equal treatment by government

No one said they were "only" for the rich. They are saying that only ones who actually BENEFITTED were the rich, and the rest got nothing in return. Nada, zip, zilch. No jobs. No booming economy. Those cuts were SO worth it...

The upper 2% are not apt to spend on consumer products, but would continue to use their tax windfalls to invest or sock it away in offshore accounts. What has the upper 2% been doing with their tax cuts so far to keep the economy moving? Nothing measureable, for sure.

Wowza. How much of Bush's tax cut went to the top 5%? How much went to the bottom 95%? You're really trying to make an argument that giving 90% to the top 5%, financed on debt, is a strong position? I think not.

awww.....Rachel Madcow and her cute little balloon chart......

...maybe this chart of reality will pop her balloons.....

President Obama wants to raise the top two individual income tax rates for 2011. The top rates will rise from 33% to 36% and from 35% to 39.6%, unless the president and Congress agree to extend the current rate structure.

Before taking action on this issue, policymakers should consider the following facts and data. (All information is cited in my related congressional testimony).

•President Bush cut the top federal tax rate by 5 percentage points, but the average top rate in the 30 OECD nations has also fallen by 5 percentage points since 2000.

•Unless policymakers extend current tax relief, the combined U.S. federal-state top rate will increase from 41.9% to about 46.5%, based on OECD data. That will give us about the tenth highest rate among the 30 OECD nations.

•The chart shows that the average top OECD rate fell from 46.7% in 2000 to 41.5% in 2009. If we let the Bush tax cuts expire, we won’t be simply going back to our situation in 2000—the world has changed since then as other countries have adopted more competitive tax rates.

•President Obama’s proposed top federal rate of 39.6 percent is 41-percent higher than the 28-percent top income rate achieved in the late 1980s after the bipartisan Tax Reform Act of 1986.

•Higher marginal tax rates will reduce incentives for working, investing, and expanding businesses, and they will increase incentives for tax avoidance and evasion.

•If income tax rates rise, some high-income workers will work fewer hours and retire earlier. Some spouses in two-earner families will stay out of the workforce. Some angel investors will have less cash to invest in start-up ventures. And some small businesses will decide not to buy new equipment or hire new workers.

•Higher-income taxpayers often have a lot of flexibility on their working and investing decisions—tax them more and they will reduce their reported income alot. Robert Carroll finds that this effect of raising the top rate from 35% to 40% would offset about 40 percent of the government’s otherwise expected revenue gain.

If rightwingnuts suggested slashing the military budget to pay got the top cuts they might look remotely reasonable.

Obama’s Plan to Raise Tax Rates | Cato @ Liberty

Cato? You do know that's a right wing think tank, I hope. What kind of 'analysis' do you expect them to come up with? They don't get paid by Democrats.

I know, why don't you instead use one of Glenn Beck's blackboard analyses, side by side with Rachel's balloon charts.

tax.com: So How Did the Bush Tax Cuts Work Out for the Economy?

The number of people reporting incomes of $200,000 or more but legally paying no federal income taxes skyrocketed in the second Bush term. A decade ago it was fewer than 1,500 taxpayers; in 2000 it was about 2,300. This high-income, tax-free group jumped to more than 11,000 in 2007 and then doubled in 2008 to more than 22,000.

In 2008 nearly 1 in every 200 high-income taxpayers paid no federal income tax, up from about 1 in 1,500 in 1998.

The share of high incomes that were untaxed increased more than sevenfold to one dollar of every $166.

The Statistics of Income data on tax-free, high incomes severely understate economic reality because they exclude deferral accounts, including those of hedge fund managers with billion-dollar incomes who can legally report no current income and borrow against their untaxed gains to live tax free.
