Exactly. Four years we've been told by the media and Dems the cuts were for "the rich." So, there's nothing for Obama to extend, right? Or will they admit they've been lying?
In the words of one Bubba klinton - it depends on what the meaning of "is" is. In the 0bamao regime if you are working, and you have some money, you may be "rich". Any money you have is money 0bama feels HE should have, and once der Fuhrer has spoken, it is so!
If he could find some way of having a proxy group for “only white people pay taxes”, he’d do that.
The American Spectator article summed it up really well - the only reason legislation and the tax code are so complex is so that they can treat people UNequally under the law.
Right now there is no bill for anyone. Just wait until the ordinary people realize that the 10% bracket goes to 15% and the child credit goes from $1,000 to $500. If the Dems were serious about stopping that they would have introduced a bill last year or early this year.

We know this scumbag is a lying imposter, he will say anything to keep power then do what he wants like he already has..yes the debate is over, Uh_bummer sucks
Yes, that’s the point. This is a losing proposition for democrats. If the bill that comes before him is to extend *all* of the bush tax cuts, and he vetos it, he will have in effect violated his pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class. Nobody will case what the technicalities of it all are, all they will care about is that people under $250k will see a massive tax increase. Enough democrats have peeled off the “soak the rich” version to make things very uncomfortable for them on this issue.
So true.
You got that right.
It’s not just a matter of families, but tax politics is highly stereotypical. Just because I am a married man with six children in my home doesn’t mean that I really need any more tax break than someone who lives alone and is single. Likewise, I could also be the single man who makes more than the man who is married with six children, and live a luxurious life. Either way, you can see where I am going with this. Determining who deserves what tax refund is not a rule that works based on assumptions of the person’s income, married status, etc. These are stereotypical assumptions that are neither fair nor workable on a national level.
Obama has never used logic in his life why should he start now.
While they keep talking about taxing the rich, they plan on getting another 50-400 bucks from the rest of us. Go figure, there’s a million or more of us for every 1 rich they keep talking about taxing. You can bet they know it too. Then, there’s new ‘’fees’’ all will pay.
So sad how woefully uneducated this country is in economics that they think a tax increase for the rich is “sticking it to ‘em”.
Most will never understand why, how they lost their job or got a pay cut, but at least “we stuck it to the man”! They’ll wonder why their own taxes went up! “I’m not rich”! But...at least we “stuck it to the man”!
Bring it on, you Kenyan piece of manure!
I understand but the tax policies tend to be punitive of married couples. Additionally, I believe that families are good for America and our society and that the tax policies actually should be more generous for families. Sorry if you are a single or a no-childer but we have to decide what we want to promote in this country and then act like we mean it. Do we support families, children, conservative values,etc. I have no problem with people who don’t have children but people with children should get more breaks. Sorry. That’s how I feel. And while I’m on the subject, I am noticing that this society is increasingly becoming very anti-child. The Duggars have gotten a lot of flack for doing what the Bible said to go out and do.
Huh. This is a first...
...watching someone drive the last nail into a coffin...
...from the INSIDE.
Not that I mind...but it's just...bizarre...
The part about having children I do agree with. But the point I am making is more the fact that the U.S. taxpayer system is highly stereotypical of the individual. Trust me, I want to find myself a wife, and have children. However, if I were somehow still stuck on that path, single, and saw a married couple with multiple children, that needed that help, I would gladly provide whatever financial, or physical assistance I could, including getting some other neighborhood pals to help them move in, help a strained family crisis etc. The problem I am getting at is that the system of taxation in America needs to get overhauled, and made much more simple. Our tax system is a biased system in numerous ways, the complexity is more of the problem, IMO, than is specific parts. If one took a look at the Progressive Income tax, it is unconstitutional, and fails in the objectives of decreasing income disparity, favoring the right people (including those married with children, as you mentioned, etc.). The flat tax idea proposed by Steve Forbes sounds a whole lot better.
Who are the Duggars?
