Nancy's not only sore about what the TeaPartys and the Repubs did to her re-election efforts for alla her suck-up supporters, so she's gonna dig everybody's eyes out with her dirty finger and politically try to give them all the Saddam Heusein treatment with her political tree chipper/schredder!!!
"Hell hath no fury like that of a woman scorned!"(I think Shakespear said it first but I could be wrong)
Why not keep both on at 15 a week? Then you will have zero unemployment at your business...at least the way the gooberment figures things.
He probably couldn’t pronounce $#!+.
We've been prepping for years now. Check out "ChocChipCookie" and her site, survival mom. She has a FR ping list you can join.
MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT! GREAT! WHEN DO I GET MORE MONEY?
“crickets chirping.”
Oh. This again.
Never mind.
What about lowering taxes for those with the money to HIRE US so they can AFFORD to hire us??
Fing IDIOTS!
I sure hope they don’t wonder WHY we threw their crap to the curb in November.
apples to oranges, why didn’t you post the link? :P Those are nothing like hers, much smaller. 500K was an exaggeration but they are at least 50K.
Nancy Pelosi’s famous strand of multicolor Tahitian pearls, which are estimated to cost $80-100,000?
She also has a strand of South Seas pearls.

But Schiffren encountered a size shift in the pearls at the gala just as noticeable as the political shift taking place that day: “In honor of Nancy Pelosi and her signature strand of silver, gold, and white South Sea pearls (which my jeweler estimates at somewhere north of 80 grand), many women were wearing similar necklaces,” Schiffren reported.

The ones I posted were obviously knockoffs!
Botox must have screwed with her brain.
BTW, she claims her husband chooses her wardrobe for her.
Did he actually say ‘chicken crap’ or ‘chicken sh*t’?? ‘Cause Boehner’s got a way with words that cuts through the crap, LOL. ;-)
Why should ANYBODY’S taxes be lowered? Why give tax cuts to certain classes of people? I don’t get it. The rich cry foul when they don’t get their taxes cut. Why do they expect special treatment? Why were there tax cuts for the rich in the first place and now there’s going to be some for the middle class only??? I don’t have the patience to learn economics. In a nutshell can someone explain?
I fully. Now it is just feeding on the carcass time.
According to them...They look at this from an earnings standpoint...Not ours, but theirs...
(Middle Class) $0 - $249,999
(The “Elite” Rich People) $250,000 and above (I heard this term by a congresswoman this morning on the news when they were talking about this...)
Honestly, I really feel bad for the “new” congress critters heading up there this next term...They will be infected by this insanity at some point...It is inevitable...
The Republicans are damned if they do and damned if they don’t...If they play along they just compramized their principles and that validates the liberals view on class warfare based solely upon earnings, no matter how your livelyhood is earned...
Liberals don’t see the poor (as poor), so that is why I went with the Middle Class earns $0-$249,999...
Just my opinion...
Bingo!!!
Jones just got re-elected. He’s usually a reliable conservative vote. He’s not a ball of fire and doesn’t do a whole lot otherwise, but he usually votes conservative. I think he’s one of the repubs who signed on with that new quasi contract with America type pledge, if I’m not mistaken.
I don’t think he’s the brightest bulb in the pack. His vote on this tax would support my take on that.
I know zip about Duncan.
I agree with you that Paul is pretty much a screwball, but he’s quite libertarian so I’m surprised to see him vote “yes” on this. I would expect him to shy away from falling for class warfare tactics.
I’m no big fan of Boehner, but I had the same question.
I don’t get it.
There is no tax benefit to marriage. The tax penalty that used to exist was removed but there was never a tax incentive for marriage.
Jones, whose father was a Democrat Congressman from NC until 1992 or so, is a former Democrat (he came very close to being elected to Congress as one in the black-majority NC-01 in 1992, falling just 2% short of avoiding a runoff in the Dem primary), but used to be a solid conservative. However, after he did a 180 on the Iraq War and started opposing it he began to vote liberal on a lot of issues, probably due to his new “friends” in the anti-war caucus (most of whom were liberals). This type of economic populism doesn’t surprise me coming from Jones, especially since he no longer cares much about loyalty to the GOP to keep it in check.
Jimmy Duncan is also the son of a Congressman, and he has represented his daddy’s old Knoxville CD for years. He has cast many disappointing votes in the past, but this vote surprised me.
Ron Paul is ether an idiot or a lunatic or both. He’s the type of guy who could easily vote against a package that reduces taxes for everyone because the bill also includes a statement in support our ally Israel, under the “principle” that the Constitution does not specifically authorize Congress to pass symbolic statements of support. Few people miss the forest for the trees as bad as Ron Paul. Here Paul played into the hands of Pelosi and Obama by voting for a bill that, if it passes the Senate and gets signed into law by Obama (and the Senate is obviously our only chance at stopping it), will make it impossible for a tax increase for the higher tax brackets to go into effect on January 1 and go away any time soon.
Republicans can’t let the higher-bracket tax rates be treated differently from those for lower brackets, or else the Democrats will be able to use their standard demagoguery to say the the Republicans want “tax cuts for the rich” instead of lower tax rates for everyone. For example, we can’t allow for the tax rates for lower brackets to be made “permanent” (i.e., unexpiring on January 1) while the tax rates for higher brackets are merely extended for two years, since two years from now they will likely win the propaganda war. And what those three Republicans voted for is even worse, since tax rates for the higher brackets would not even be extended temporarily, so our economy will take yet another hit starting on January 1 (Democrats still don’t understand that those in the higher brackets tend to be the ones that create jobs when the government doesn’t bleed them dry).
Republicans should either vote to make all the tax rates “permanent,” or to extend all the tax rates for two years. Any other vote plays into the hands of the Democrats and will harm the U.S. economy, especially in the long term.
Unfortunately, the reason we’re here today is because the last progressive Republican in power agreed to institute small temporary tax cuts instead of large permanent ones.
