Just a note: “dividends” from life insurance are not taxable. The courts have ruled they are return of over payment of premiums...not “a piece of the Rock”

The ultimate goal of a kleptocracy is to, in effect, own the people. All that you make and own is at the sufferance of the state. The state may, in its generosity, let you keep some small pittance. This is why the November elections are only a small first step in turning back the tide of dependency and subjugation that is crippling the country.

The Democrats’ motto has always been “tax and spend”, and these are the largest tax hikes in history.

Expect a modest uptick in federal tax receipts in 4Q10 as everyone dumps their stocks, followed by a corresponding plunge in 1Q11.

Except this time it is spend and tax with nothing to show for the spending.

If it has a SS number attached to it, no matter what it is, will eventually be toast, is just a matter of time.

Well, what the rats have previously shown for their spending isn't worth the money- an ever-expanding underclass of generations dependent on welfare, increased single mother homes, increased bureaucracies, money to Africa to teach men to wash their privates, etc. I'd just as soon they'd burned the money, than what they have to show for the use of it.

Most of the “little” people don’t think this will hurt them because they don’t think they’re being paid any dividends.
Folks, we all must accept that at least 42% (Probably much more) of the people in this country think anyone who makes over $100,000 a year is the enemy. And they don’t think it’s fair that they don’t make that much.

Well, since I didn’t get to see it, it looks like I’m not very intrigued, or enlightened.

Silly wita! People like Donald Trump spoke about how Americans minimize or avoid taxes. Don’t you research? :)
To: Jet Jaguar
Well consider this.
2011 is likely to take a big economic dive because of these tax increases - while at the same time Republicans gain control of at least the house in congress. Democrats will turn around and say the blame for the 2011 down turn is the Republicans taking the house.
In other words, the Democrats have affectively booby trapped the coming year and are going to blame the results on the Republicans taking the house when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.
I’m going to try to make this my last post for awhile... By putting it in writing here maybe I’ll be able to stick to it...

Or maybe you don’t have considerable investments? :)
To: Paladin2
Convert trad. IRAs to Roth? If you have FAITH that the "ROTH IRA" will NOT become a demonized term referring to the "Winners of Life's Lottery" who have unjustly profited from tax loopholes???
After all, what percentage of the voting populace even own such wealth? /s

Good luck w/your sizeable investments. :)

That's the sort of thing I've noticed too - minefields from here on out, with the democraps ready to chortle and lay blame everywhere but where it belongs. They've got things so tangled up right now, anyone who tries to do anything to disarm the booby-traps are gonna be damned if they do-damned if they don't - only if we let'em get away with it. It's going to take people with a real plan, and no fear at doing it, to have a chance at reversing anything.
