I’m cackling like Cankles right now.
Like that will stop them.
That’s what ACTUAL fighting back looks like. Instead of doing that, the mealy mouthed spineless jerks will do things like this which have the APPEARANCE of fighting back but with no actual effect.

No. I just don't think the bill will make it through the current Senate and that Obama would sign it if did.

I know that, and so do most of the people on this site, apparently. Passing it through the Senate is not the point right now. It is letting the people of this nation who are intelligent enough, and some not, to understand where the Republicans stand by putting their names in the public domain on where they stand, and to convey they are trying to find additional ways to cripple this VERY crappy law.
Being that not much more than 35% of the Colonialists approved of declaring independence in 1776, what if 56 signers had just decided not to make the declaration and put their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor at stake by signing it because it was not overly popular to do so?
Do you think for a nanosecond that they cared a rat's petookie if the King approved of it or not? Of the 56 signers only 10 of them came through the revolution without being killed or someone in their families being killed because of their signing. I just read the book "Defeating the Totalitarian Lie". I suggest that everyone reading this get it and read it as soon as possible.
really? the truly rich don’t buy anything to pay sales taxes on?
It’s a word. Anything that has meaning is a word anyway - but irrespective has been around a while :)
I got my hopes up....but then I read this and shake my head.
The bill would have to get through the Senate and be signed by President Obama to become law.
I mean, why bother?
Much better to just roll over and not even try,,right?
You have a wonderful attitude and I admire your spirit and patriotism. I'm personally at a weak point in my life so I tend to see things in a negative light. Thanks for helping me recharge.
Thank you. Please get that book and read it. Your spirit will be energized far beyond what you could imagine and quite possibly viewed as assaulted at the same time. It has changed the way I look at several things in both a historical sense as well as things happening today.
Proportionally, nothing of consequence.
No they would go VAT before those most likely.
I’ve read that piece of regressive crap, and my comment is factual.
The ‘fair’ tax is grossly unfair to those that spend a large part of their income on necessities.
To relieve those whose income is from non-earned sources from an income tax amounts to a massive gift to them, since they spend a minute portion of their income on necessities. By doing shopping in tax free locations, they could skip almost all taxation.
In addition, the unfair tax would extend taxation to areas that presently are untaxed, like professional services (doctors, dentists, lawyers,etc) further harming low and middle income tax payers.
It’s the worst idea to ever come along WRT taxation.
Right, this is just posturing for the fall election. After we’ve won all three branches is it back to business as usual?
Defeating the Totalitarian Lie chronicles the lives of a German family before, during, and after the 12 years of Nazi rule. Linking the details of their lives to historical developments, von Campe’s facts and figures, especially in regard to the war, are largely unknown to the American people. His assessment that America is moving in the direction of Nazi Germany is terrifying.
The reviews are very positive for the most part. I'm going to focus on the defeating the lie part. Knowledge is power. Thanks again.
No. I just don't think the bill will make it through the current Senate and that Obama would sign it if did.
It won't, but the Dims vote will be on record, just 4 months before the election. Voting to sustain the largest tax increase in the history of the world basically gives the GOP a club to use in the fall.
In a nutshell. The GOP wants to show that its going to repeal aca, but you’ll notice that they’ll never quite get around to it. Sort of like they never quite got around to passing a balanced budget amendment or attacking Roe v Wade the last time they were in power.
This will be the law of unintended consequences. I assure you. These liberals will not be happy in the end. A tax can be overturned with only 51 votes in the Senate. God, I wish we had a candidate.
Stopping 0bamaTax will be just as likely as stopping Social Security. The Republicans should’ve FORCED Kagan to recuse herself from the Obamacare decision. Kagan should be hated as much if not more than Roberts for her total lack of dignity. Ooops, she’s a lesbian and cannot be challenged. Hey, Sotomayor’s a Hispanic so she can’t be criticized. Hey, Obama’s black and is immune from criticism LET ALONE IMPEACHMENT. I see a pattern here. Soros really knows how to play us and win the game.
