“How in the heck do I deserve that moniker?
By objecting to my Federal taxes being jacked up by thousands of dollars?”
Because you’re someone who is thinking only of himself. I don’t know why you think this is going to be a negative for you, particularly since there isn’t a finished product for us to plug into our personal circumstances. I’ve been watching the “very early” news broadcasts ( it’s just after 4 a.m. here) and all I am seeing is optimism that what’s been done, while by no means perfect, is a step in the right direction. So while I’m sorry you think this is going to “screw” you, evidently people think that when it’s in final form, it will benefit the bulk of taxpayers.
The problem with taxation in recent years, is that it was full of carve outs to “take care” of everybody’s individual circumstances ( or at least a long list of categories) and maybe, just maybe, you’ve been getting a free ride under the old system and perhaps should be paying more.
Oh please.
So people on this board who objected to being raped by ObamaCare were and are guilty only thinking for themeleves?
Moreover, you don't know me. You don't know my friends and family members who will be affected by this tax increase.
And furthermore, there are many Freepers on this board who have raised the same issues with this "tax cut" as I have.
