Poll on tax cuts: for everyone or for under $250k only

[Article 15]

No need to compromise with losers who were swept out of power.

Then the tax cuts go off into the sunset. Works for me

Who's getting their taxes cut?

Nobody if the GOP doesn't want to compromise.

Two wars without a tax increase. Blame Obama? LEARN RECENT HISTORY!!!!

Deficits held steady, and were on the way down until 2008.

The cost of both were kept off the books, pedal that nonsense somewhere else.

Even with the cost of the wars, they were nowhere near Obama's spending and debt orgies.

And he has passed off budget defense and other spending.

 

[Oddball]

But if the choice is all or none then eliminate all the cuts.

Time to pay the piper, America.

Time to start getting rid of some useless and overpaid pipers.

I'm fine with that but it isn't enough ... and no, lowering or eliminating the income tax isn't part of a realistic solution.

It will take a combo of spending cuts and tax increases to reverse this trend.

There's no way to tax your way out of gross overspending.

The spending is and will remain the problem.

Since when? Obama went on a two year spending binge second to none and did not raise income taxes.

In eight years we went from a budget surplus to record deficits. Wanna teach us how to fix this after you broke the last one? Good thing we're all not as gullible and intractable as trickle down Conservatives!

We would be doing the Curly-run-in-a-circle-while-laying-on-our-side dance.

Tax increases for those who make less then 100.000$ end food stamps .

Not unusual for wartime.

Deficts were on the way back down until 2008.

And how exactly does that make your post any less disengenuous?

Because Bush's deficits were around $400B, and Obama's are around $1T.

Why didn't Obama pay that "piper?"

Then learn all the history you possibly can! We have never fought a protracted war, let alone two, without raising taxes to pay for it.

Not unusual for wartime. horsefeathers.

I understand that which is why I advocate increasing taxes and cutting spending.

WWII, actually two wars or two fronts, resulted in massive new debt.

But we paid for that war during its prosecution. We sold bonds, raised taxes and instituted rationing all to pay for the war effort. W told us to go to the mall, China would front us the cash for his excellent Iraqi adventure.

So are you conceding that deficits were not on the decline during the Bush admin like you claimed?

The first trillion dollar deficit is on Bush. The FY2009 budget is his.

As to Obama's trillion dollar deficit in FY2010, I'm not happy with that either. Hello? Spending cuts and tax increases ... it's what I am calling for here while you want to play partisan games.

What were the marginal tax rates during WWII?

Total crap.

There never was a balanced budget or surplus....Those numbers were only projected out from '98 to '02, after which entitlement spending (read: SS, Medicare/Medicaid) were going to explode the deficit through the power of demographics.

Your democrat hack Bush/republican haters are getting really pathetic.

Deficits were on the decline until Republicans ceased to control Congress.

Is running up a trillion in new debt for two years then demanding Republicans pay for it a "partisan game?"

Yeah, it is.

Who cares...the wars created massive, for the time, new debt.

That is simply the single most retarded thing you have ever said. Fool.

It's true.

Obama spent like a drunken sailor for two years now he wants someone else to pay for it.

Taxes are already at insanely high levels....The federal rates are only a fraction of the story.

The problem remains spending.
