My accountant writes to inform me that in the Senate bill, the bottom tax rate from 10% to 15%, thus raising taxes on the first dollars earned on everyone, everyone paying taxes naturally!

The only way to get near to the monies needed for Obama's spending habits, is to raise taxes on everyone.

Instead of giving us the much vaunted "millionaire tax," Obama/Biden/McConnell have given us the "thousand-aire tax!"

Happy New Year America,

Your Elected Class!.

Well, the earlier article did say that most Senators wouldn’t have had time to read the bill before voting on it.

When even Pat Toomey voted for it, all is apparently lost. If the House passes it, I’m changing my registration, and I would suggest that all conservative Republicans do the same. The GOP speaks French.

Which confirms my contention that:

Most "Senators".....SUCK!

Yes, and I plan on communicating with both Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, KS Senators, to inquire their reasoning for voting for this bill.

It fixed the AMT exemption, but I don’t know at what level, and it’s now indexed for inflation.

The Act, here: American Taxpayer Relief Act

I see the rate correction for the 25/28% brackets and above but if the expiration of the Bush cuts undid the drop of the lowest bracket down to 10% then yes, the Senate let the lowest rate fail back to 15%. This could be hugh and perhaps series.

It should be possible to turn this into 0bama’s ‘read my lips’ moment.

Well, we know that the so-called “rich” wouldn’t begin to come close to getting the billions necessary to get close to the sums needed.

“Just received an email from my accountant”

Let me give you a little advice - for free.

The liberal fantasy that they would like everyone to believe is this: there are several swimming pools, some for people that make less than $50k a year, some for people that make less than $150k a year, (and so on and so on) and some for those awful millionaires. We are going to dip our bucket into the millionaires pool, and spread it out into your pools. See, that's what we call “fairness.”

Here is reality.

There are only two pools. One for those that work, and one for those that don't. Yes, in the pool for those that work one end is deeper and therefor has more water than the other. But when you take a bucket full of water from the deep end (millionaires) and pour it into the shallow end, it all ends up back in the same place anyway.

But when you take a bucket of water from the pool of people that work, and pour it into the pool of people that don't work, ALL of the people in the pool that work have less water.

So if you go to work every week, anytime the government spends more money, it will cost you. Whether you can see or find how it is costing you, it IS costing you. The only people that ‘win’ when the government spends money are the people that do not work at all.

If government spends, and you work, you lose. No matter how it is spun or twisted, or lied about - government spends, you work, you pay. Period.

And I won't even send you a bill.

Well, it may be premature to call this a hike on the lowest tax bracket. It appears the Senate Amendment amends HR 8 which amends underlying tax code. One must trace through all of the changes in the correct order to discern what the new tax structure might be. If I see this correctly, the next step is a Conference Committee to reconcile the House and Senate versions of H.R. 8. Then it goes to Obama and you can be sure there will be a Signing Statement.

Think of it as the government standing astride Central Florida, dipping buckets into the Atlantic then pouring the contents into the Gulf of Mexico in order to redistribute the water.

In discussing the current Dictatorship, everyone I know is in favor of voting “all” of the Elitists in DC and elsewhere “out” on their Royal, corrupt, amoral rears.

IMO, Amerika can bend over and kiss their rears and freedom goodbye; welcome to Nazi Germany, the re-do.

Do you really think the Left will allow taxing everyone? That would really PO the biggest part of their lazy-a$$ base who either pay no income taxes or even get a refund from a zero tax liability.

The 47% that pays no feral income taxes needs to get some skin in the game.

And the sooner the better.

The only way to get near to the monies needed for Obama's spending habits, is to raise taxes on everyone.

It amazes me to no end that even our FR folks who used to understand "Supply Side Economics" or real Adam Smith Economics still make this error. Increased tax rates will not raise nearly the projected revenue and, in fact, if revenue does not DEcrease immediately it will shortly as the economy noses over even further and declines even faster..
