Somewhere, George Bush is laughing ping to Today show list.
Does anybody over there ever stop and think about this canard?
We don't get another trillion added to the deficit because the tax rates are 28% instead of 33%.
We get another trillion because the gubmint spends it. If you want to argue that GWB started it with the bonzai bailout bonanza, then go ahead, at least you have some firm ground.
But there aren't enough "rich" people to tax, even at 100%, to cover that trillion.
When all the libs are saying you won...you know you just got screwed.
OPPOSE THE DEAL!
Having both Clinton and Obama urging the retention of the Bush tax cuts on the same podium had to be satisfying for W.
Hey Joe - tell Mika Barney says *woof*.
Funny how they only care about the deficit when you wont let them increase taxes
But spending cuts never ever ever seem to cross their minds
How did someone this stupid get on the air?
Joe, if you are truly concerned about the deficit, there are a couple of things you can do:
First, demand the Congress CUT SPENDING. I know that's a novel idea, but it WILL reduce the deficit. You have the soapbox - use it.
Second, donate some of your own money to the federal government, and rant on the rich libs until they do the same. (Again, use that soapbox.)
Liberals always want to raise taxes, just not on themselves.

What cracks me up about this entire debate is this.
Everyone agrees by raising everyone’s taxes it will harm the economy (well except the far left loons). So the debate is about “not raising the taxes” in our slow economy.
People that argue that keeping the taxes at the current rate is going to help our economy are wrong too. Look at the the current economy with the current rates. We are barely growing. So doing nothing regarding the tax rates is not going to inspire a boom in the economy.
Thus, if the current tax rate and raising the current tax rate either leave us in our current situation or makes the situation worse... Then the solution is to cut ALL taxes to help our economy.
I am amazed how little I hear about this. The Republicans, Talk Radio and Fox News needs to be hammering this point.
Instead what I hear are Republicans, etc agreeing with the Democrats premises that this is a “tax cut”. It’s not a tax cut at all. It’s a tax raise. How can you call it a tax cut by leaving the current rates the same? If you agree with their (the rats) loaded argument, then you have already lost half the battle. The verbiage is extremely important.
The problem is not raising tax revenue. Hell the government admits to taking in over 2 trillion in taxes. BTW, I am sure they have way more than they admit. We all know the government lies. It’s a spending problem in Washington and NOT a raising enough tax revenue. People are either stupid or nuts if they believe that by raising our tax rates our federal government is suddenly going to become fiscally responsible.
Just my two cents.
Oh, riiiiiiiight.
does he mean on the tax cuts or on the additional spending?
