One appreciates Ransom’s tongue in cheek; however, on a more serious note, the only thjng that’s going to happen economically in 2013 is that the various national and international economic arrangements are going to continue to weaken and fall apart.

With America leading the way into socialist childishness and irrelevance, we Americans are toast.

The best thing the other nations of the world can do for themselves is to ignore us and write us off as ‘Goners’.

Taxes are now just for punishment.

[Eye of Unk]

I swear in the near future a solitary state will be bought by a group of heavily taxed billionaires, that state will secede. And all the wealthy that are being hunted down for taxation will immigrate to this state. I cannot say if this state will be in the CONUS, it could be Alaska, bit cold for most, it could be Costa Rica, too warm for some. Could be the panhandle of Texas.

But I have a vision of the weathy fighting back to evade the communists takeover in America.

The Age of Aquarius- long a goal for liberals- will begin in earnest on January 1st, 2013

I remember the last "Age of Aquarius" and it smelled like arm pits and marijuana.

Here is a transcript of these two vailiant leaders working hard to avoid a collapse of America's economy. (Which they both know is going to collapse anyway due to the bloated governemtment that needs the drastic disassembly that nobody talks about.)

Obama: "er, er, er, er, uh, uh, uh we need an inhalator...."

Bonehead:"I, I, I don't know what to say, oh waaaah!"

Let's face it. This nation is washed up and it will take decades, if not eons, to straighten things up. Meanwhile Washington and all the state capitols will have to invent a new way they do the people's business.

Government doesn't work for the people, rather it works for the legions of bureaucratic imbeciles who do little to earn their largesse. Close up the Congress offices. Send the weasels home to work at their computers in have meetings and votes held from there.

Dispersing them like that would drive the lobbiests insane trying to reach all of them.

Now as to this phony, psychotic,marxist-muslim, narcissist: Move his headquarters into the basement. Pull his security, fire his chef, reduce his security level, reduce his pay commensurate with his contribution to this nation. Begin impeachment preparations for him now so that they'll be ready to roll by January 21, which is the day after he'll have his private swearing-in performed.

We want to have Merry Little Christmas, but this jackass, know-nothing stranger has worked hard for families and has, indeed, made our lives and our futures the worst possible!!

53% of Americans voted for this sh*t without even knowing what they voted for.

I told so many people about these things and they looked at me and laughed.

No: That isn’t going to happen. Poor misguided fools Fugged us all.

Obama’s right to work for less if you’re “the rich”.

[sickoflibs]

There are a couple of key things that must happen after those taxes go up:

1) The economy must be seen as getting worse not better. If the economy looks like its improving then Republicans will be trusted even less than they are now, and that is very little.

2) If and when #1 happens then the (congressional) Republicans must go on TV every week and repeat over and over “ Obama raised taxes and look what happened”

On NBC or ABC Sunday O Donnell hit Newt with :
“Clinton raised taxes on the upper income to the rates that Obama wants and the economy soared as a result”, Newt replied about the Republicans taking over congress. If this happens again it will be Hillary 2017.

There are many reasons why the economy may still get worse, but right now it is in aslow recovery.

[NTHockey]

The sad truth is that the truly rich (aka Congress and the Buffets of this world)won’t pay one more penny in taxes. They have the lawyers and the means to take flight. Don’t be surprised if their is a law suit challenging a discriminatory law.

[Eye of Unk]

I think 2013 will be a year of nothing like what us being talked about.

Plank #2 of the Communist Manifesto; a heavily-graduated income tax, AKA "taxing the rich."

The Ten Planks of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
(and How Statists Implement Them)

1. Abolition of private property rights (via high property taxes, restrictive zoning laws, "fair housing" edicts, environmental and "wetlands" regulations, UN Agenda 21, etc.)

2. Institution of a heavily graduated income tax (by calling it "taxing the rich")

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance (through a confiscatory estate tax on "the rich")

4. Confiscation of the property of enemies of the state (through lawless application of asset forfeiture and eminent domain)

5. Centralization of credit into the hands of the state (Federal Reserve, Federal Trade Commission, TARP, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, federal takeover of student loans, etc.)

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation into the hands of the state (FCC, DOT, FEMA, NTSB, FAA, etc.).

7. Consolidation and subjugation of all major industries to central government control (FDA, EPA, OSHA, ICC, HUD, NLRB, EEOC, DOE, TSA etc.)

8. Mandatory labor union membership ("card check" to bypass employee consent, automatic withholding of union dues, forced unionization of health care workers, teachers, police, firefighters, etc.)

9. Equitable redistribution of all wealth (TANF, SSI, EITC, SNAP, etc.)

10. Free public education (and food, housing, health care, cell phones, Internet access, etc.)
