100 Days Till "Tax-Maggedon"

[Six]

Just curious if there are any misinformed liberals that think these tax increases are a good idea.

Jan. 1st : 2001 and 2003 tax relief programs for families, small bussinesses and investors will expire.

Also income tax will increase for just about every income bracket.

ObamaCare includes over 20 new taxes.

Middle class death taxes will increase from 35% to 55%. (that money has already been taxed )

Marriage tax rate will increase.

Capital Gains taxes will increase
from 15% to 25%.

And a host of others. I'm sure this is the boost that the economy needs.

Of course they do. That allows them to spend even more!

Yea but I want to hear them try and justify the enormous amount of up and coming taxes with their convoluted knowledge of economics.

[mark beiser]

Most libtards still seem to think the government can tax its way out of the current spending problem.

[netsalt]

My question is how many T- Tards think it is a good idea since their elected officials in congress are letting it happen.

[ControlsInMT]

As usual, trying to pass the buck since these taxes were implemented when your leader and the Dems had congress....

[netsalt]

The Dems passed an extension - the "new conservative" Congress can't strike a deal that will pass. It's that third party pledge thing to Grover that seems to be the hold up.

I can see where it would work IF spending would be reduced, keeping the spending up is like putting a tourniquet on a head injury, it doesn't stop a tragedy from happening, it just accelerates it. :.02:

Ok, I'll admit my ignorance here: What is a T-Tard? I think I know, but l hate to assume.

They've already spent it...twice. All of these taxes were necessarily added to make O-Care look like it would "only" add a Trillion to the deficit.

Lowest tax bracket goes from 10 to 15%. I don't think the tax increase will happen. Shirley you cannot be serious. Businesses would raise labor rates, product rates, not a good combo with inflation caused by dollar printing gone wild. No maniac in DC would let that happen.

Famous line from the movie "Airplane" :


Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it?
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.

Hi, Shirley here. Maybe if taxes did go up to pay off some of the debt (who are we kidding, maybe just reduce the deficit) people would finally get the idea that you guys are spending more that you take in and pressure politicians to reduce the black hole that is sucking your nation into an abyss.

I would rather we pull freebies. Hitting folks with a 10 to 15 % payment increase is a home-wrecker for sure. It will hit me personally, I am not an accountant so I do not know the damage. Understanding tax code is not a requirement for bankruptcy filing. I can go cash only, and collect freebies. Lots of folks do that.
