DC Tom Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Oh well? Morons like you are always calling for tax hikes, what's the problem? Doesn't the government need more "revenue"? While justifiably laughing at the hypocrisy of the Democrats bitching about tax hikes after promoting tax hikes for years and the Republicans now raising taxes after pushing tax cuts for years, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this whole thing is a result of the wild irresponsibility of those asshats in Congress saying "!@#$ it, we need a vacation" and leaving DC for the year.

Alaska Darin Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Iraq War = Big waste of taxpayer money Payroll tax cut = Good decision despite the unbelievable deficit and Social Security/MediCARE/cAID systems being on the brink of bankruptcy. I don't think there's anything better than watching Harry Reid and all his lemmings scream FOR supply side economics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Yes, let's get into seeing which party can lead the charge to defund Social Security the fastest. This is ass-hattery at its finest. 45% of the country doesn't pay Federal income taxes and conservatives argue that they have no skin in the game and that's why they don't give a fig about rising government spending. What in the Wild Wild World of Sports is a goin' on here? The Repubs are wrong here to go along with any defunding effort. Now the Electeds are falling over themselves to reduce the individual's and corporation's contribution to the SS fund. It's a pension fund, people. The Entitleds are going to demand they pay nothing into the fund and that the Rich will have to pay their fair share - and everyone else's, just like they already do in the general fund. America - the land of the free. People want free health care, free unemployment payments, free houses, free food, free electric, free wifi, free computers, free cell phones, free education. This is lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just shut up and stop digging a deeper hole for yourself. This tax cut operates on the demand side, not supply side. Its Keynesian in that it increases consumer power. I know in your simplistic world that all tax cuts are exclusivly Supply Side--something you probably do not understand--but that is not true.

B-Man Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 All the news is focused on whether the House Republicans will cave and go along with the unworkable and illogical Senate two-month extension of the social security “tax holiday.” That is how stupid politics has become, both Democrats and Senate Republicans are lashing out at House Republicans for refusing to go along with an unworkable plan. House Republicans probably will, and maybe at this point should, pass the damn thing not on the merits but because Senate Republicans threw them under the bus. We should all be outraged at Obama’s plans for revamping how FICA money is paid and used — the most recent being the “payroll tax holiday — it should have liberals screaming. Obama almost singlehandedly is taking a sacrosanct flow of FICA money and turning it into just another “tax” to be played with a political circumstances dictate. In this case, the political circumstance is a second year of diminished FICA payments as part of a class warfare strategy to get Obama reelected. FICA, however, is not an ordinary tax, it is the funding mechanism for Democrat’s most cherished program. Politicizing the flow of FICA contributions moving into the pipeline makes it that much easier to politicize the flow of benefits exiting the pipeline. Liberals have sold their social security soul for Obama’s reelection, and they will never get it back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Its all about re-election..................as most on the Left are aware. At present, the ball is in Harry Reid’s court. The moment the House voted against the compromise, the bill was returned to the Senate where it sits awaiting action. President Obama and chief-political-lieutenant Reid can talk until they are blue in the face. The fact is that John Boehner could not hold the vote on the 2-month fiasco that they are demand — even if he wanted to. (as I am sure they are aware) For political purposes, Harry Reid is holding the bill hostage. Shame on him. If he wants to transform bad policy to mediocre, he should get his keister back to the Senate, extend the payroll holiday for one year, and then go home. N.R.O. A ‘No’ from the White HouseDecember 22, 2011 11:06 A.M. By Kathryn Jean Lopez John Boehner just talked to the president; there is no budging. From the Speaker’s office just now: Today, Speaker Boehner called President Obama to discuss the Speaker’s desire to provide a full year of tax relief for American families before December 31st. With Senator Reid having declined to call his Members back to Washington this week to join the House in negotiating a full-year extension of the payroll tax cut, the Speaker proposed that the President send members of his economic policy team up to Congress to find a way to accommodate the President’s full-year request. The Speaker reiterated that if their shared goal is a one-year bill, there is no reason an agreement cannot be reached before year’s end. . The President declined the Speaker’s offer.

There are only 140.5 million working in the U.S. and it continues to drop under Obamanomics. . . . . . . . . But hey, what are facts when you are demagoguing? ? ? Bureau of Labor .
