Parsing language.
That’s so dishonest. I didn’t fall off the back of a turnip truck.
Using euphemisms doesn’t change the substance of what is being proposed.
Using Boehner’s weasel words isn’t winning you friends on here.
It's not parsing words. It's taking away the power of the government, through the tax code, to pick winners and losers. Most ordinary income earning people are getting taxed to death, yet GE pays no tax on $5 billion in profits? Throw the yellow flag. Soros allegedly pays a lower effective rate on his earnings than his secretary because of the types of earnings he has and all of the shelters. That's crap.
The tax code, as I understand it, is over 10,000 pages. Most of the tax code does nothing but cater to various special interest and lobbyist groups. That's rediculous. Lets deal with the tax code first.
ps - I'm not trying to win friends, or for that matter, alienate anyone. I'm simply pointing out that there is a huge difference between tax code changes, and tax rate changes.
Riddle me this batman, were you against the tax rate cuts by JFK, Reagan or George W Bush? All three of those tax rate cuts increased tax revenues into the coffers of the federal government!!!
