THERE ARE NO TAX CUTS!
Now really cut taxes!
Lower corporate taxes, lower ALL individual taxes, eliminate the capital gains tax, eliminate entirely the inheritance tax and lessen government regulations and restrictions.
Then stand back, further back or the American economic bull will trample you.
The only problem is this obvious solution, even though it works, does not empower the government.
True.
is the full of pork and subsidies,
Different bill, there was a standalone tax cut extension plan (passed), and a tax cut extension plan wrapped into an Omnibus spending bill (defeated and abandoned by Reid).
it is only temporary,
True.
it allowed a vote on don’t ask don’t tell,
Completely different bill.
the ratification of the start treaty,
Completely different bill.
and potential passage of the dream act.
Completely different bill.
It was frozen shut by Global Warming.
Those savings could be in the form of investments which will help drive the economy or as deposits which become incremental capital for the banks to lend. Unless the "affluent" stuff all of their savings in the mattress. Even then, I'd rather have it stuffed in a mattress than given to Congress to spend on such economic "stimulus" as African junk washing.
$68 billion in lost revenue.
With that logic, some must think all the money and property out in the private sector economy that the government does not take is “lost revenue”.
The money in my wallet is lost revenue to the government.
It is my money, earned money, that best kind.
uh you understand that there is only so much time in a lame-duck right? And that the rats could not move on to other items unless they got a deal on taxes?
I agree. While I would prefer to NOT extend the unemployment benefits, the tax cuts need to be kept in place or better yet, lowered more! But it’s a start
Bush's fault -- he's still driving the lefties nuts.....
“Democrats have no idea as to how wealth is created.”
Socialists think wealth is immoral.
Trollses there are on this thread, yess.
[Michele Bachmann and Joe Wilson vote NO!]
So did Moran, the Senator-elect from KS! That is exactly how I would have voted.
Not nearly as close as we were led to believe from the so-called outraged democrats.
Pussies. LOL!
I noticed his name, also. I looked twice,because of the other guy from VA with same name. How is it that he’s already seated?
Yeah, I’d say that’s more like a paper cut.
I didn't write or even think that it is a good deal. It is however, probably the best deal available with the current minorities in both houses of Congress.
Ronald Reagan was successful in politics whereas Barry Goldwater was not, even though there philosophies were very similar. Until neoconservatives learn to be more persuasive with their arguments, they will forever suck hind teat.
This mess will never get straightened out until we go into a full depression and everyone living on credit iw wiped out!
I would, but that 2% combined with the first raise my husband has gotten in three years will just about cover the 75% increase in insurance costs we’re facing for 2011....
Big Whoop. It will now be subject to the Fed and State ax.
As a small business owner and one of the "evil RICH people" (even though I'm not a millionaire) this will help my business which is already taxed to death. If taxes go any higher I'm going to A) lose customers B) shut down.
So for me this was a good bill. Yay for the evil rich 1%!!!
Good...then you won’t mind if conservatives work for a 10% across the board tax CUT in 2011, would you? Eliminate the death/estate tax, as well?
