(Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants a vote before November elections on whether to extend tax cuts for those with annual income over $250,000 a year, she said in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

"The tax cuts for the wealthiest ... (with income of) $250,000 and above, were the Bush initiative," Pelosi said on ABC's "This Week," referring to former President George W. Bush.

I'm not wealthy, but my taxes will go up if the tax cuts expire.

Nancy, how about full disclosure of your family income, including off shore investments, without hiding behind foundations, etc?

Hey Nancy, "taxing the rich" makes a lot of sense if you want to destroy small business and thus increasing unemployment.

Nancy, we'd like to see your income statement and balance sheet.

last ditch effort by corrupt politicians to impose their ideology against the will of the people even as they are swept out of office.

Maybe wealthy Nancy should share her assets and shut her mouth! Until she puts her money where her mouth is we can assume she would rather dictate our ‘wealth’ instead.

“I’m very much in favor of tax cuts, but not with borrowed money,” he said. “And the problem that we’ve come to in recent years is spending programs are funded with borrowed money, tax cuts with borrowed money. At the end of the day that proves disastrous.” Greenspan

Excuse me, but you’re counting our dollars as your own - before you even have it. They have to pay for a debt and they look at our bank account and call our money ‘borrowed money’. I’ve got a better idea, stop wasting our much money and then you won’t have to pick our pockets.

“I’m very much in favor of tax cuts, but not with borrowed money,”


There is so much wrong in this statement I don’t even know where to start.

GO FOR IT NANCY

This would kill any chance of a near term recovery and guarantee a Republican sweep in 2012.

I am more than willing to pay higher taxes for awhile if it means higher unemployment and the eventual removal of Obama from office.

So go ahead Nancy, kill the recovery, and kill Obama’s chances in 2012.

Dime to doughnuts.. she is as big a tax thief as Rangel, Waters, Kerry... and the host of other reigning Democrats. Yes, let’s bring out the ledgers and see how much of her excess of $250,000 she has hidden.

I think he’s considering the tax-cut money not delivered to the government by tax cuts as “spending”. i.e. he thinks “Before the tax cuts the government could count on having to have X amount of money. After the tax cuts the government will have have “x-tax cut” amount of money.” Therefore, giving a tax cut is “spending” the governments money because after the tax cut the government has less money.

I’m not sure what the most wrong thing is. It’s either that he considers it “the government’s money” in the first place or that he considers tax cuts to be spending at all.

So much wrong in one little sentence...

Remember, Greenspan lives in a virtual reality - one where money only exists in a conceptual sense...

Great idea to have them before the elections. If the Dems think this is such a great idea, they should campaign on it.

Income is not “wealth” and it’s not the government’s money, anyway. Why the hell is that so hard for people to understand?
