No tax increases unless there are serious spending cuts to the departments and agencies that do not move our country, “forward,” Mr. President.

And the response should be, "There will be no deficit deal until Democrats offer up spending cuts and the spending cut bill is passed into law. Democrats have broken promise after promise and proved they cannot be trusted to do what they say they will do. In order to ensure a bipartisan solution, Democrats must act first."

I would like to see a tax increase for everyone who voted for and supported the Kenyan gangsta and his nightmare for America. It’s time those freeloading bass turds started paying THEIR “fair share”. This should be a “starting point” for Republicans.

It’s time for Barry’s supporters to put a little “skin in the game”.

The solution to the revenue side of the equation is to decrease the Standard Deduction. That is the fair and equitable revenue solution.

Any other deduction fiddling for those who itemize and neglecting those who do not itemize is blatantly unfair.

I can honestly say “I hate them all”. Other than a select few, Paul Ryan being just about the only one I can think of at the moment, I truly hate them all. They discust me, both parties.

Congress ran in 2010 saying they would defund obamacare. Of course, they didn’t defund it. But apparently they have the power otherwise the dems and their media would have screamed constantly that “They’re lying! They can’t defund it!”

No income tax refunds for a year.

You want the federal monster to keep my money that was withheld in excess of my tax liability? I thought the idea was to lower tax rates, but you want to increase effective tax rates. Now, if you mean, no 'refundable' tax credits that 'refund' money in excess to the amount paid, I can jump on board with that.

The USA is now the ASS.

American Socialist States.

It took 100 year to get to this tipping point.
I say let us have it out. They can take their phucking fiscal cliff and shove it.

If these communist bastards bastards want CWII, lets have it now. I would rather go to my grave a freeman in Washingtons country than a slave in Obamas.

The top tax rate is currently 35%. Once state and local taxes are added in the total rate is obscene.

I heard a person on radio today rationalizing increasing the rate, because Romney paid 14% last year. She forgets that he is retired and is paying on income from investments. He does not receive a salary. She also forgets that before he gets his money, it has already been taxed repeatedly.

The Left keeps wanting to tax the rich, but they forget that most of those who are really wealthy do not earn a salary, and will never be affected by a raise in taxes.

The Left will end up destroying the middle class in their effort to demonize the “rich”. They will destroy the same individuals, who create the jobs they currently have. There are times when I suspect that that is their ultimate goal anyway. Socialism cannot exist with a strong middle class, so its only way to success is to destroy those who produce wealth.

In most cases the individuals on which the Left wants to impose additional taxes worked hard and invested in their future. They pursued and education, set goals for themselves, and worked hard to build a future for themselves and their families.

I really have a problem with those who borrowed a large amount of money to go to a “prestigious” school (read expensive)and majored in an area they knew had limited potential. They are now part of the Occupy Wall Street Crowd, and demand that someone fix their situation.

Compared to the rest of the world even the poorest among us is very rich. All anyone has to do is visit India, Haiti, the Gypsies of Romania, or anywhere in Africa, and they will realize that America has really been blessed.

Third and final...the media’s attempt to explain everything is like asking a drunk to explain nuclear fusion. You eventually realize that you have to ask a ton of questions to figure out what the facts are, and then ration yourself to a few trusted sources.>>>>>>>>>>>>

Try this: ( sung to the tune of walkin in a winter wonderland)

Walkin in a Winter Wonderland.

Leftists sing, are you listening,
In Bohner’s brain, Reid is pi$$ing
A beautiful sight,
We’re happy tonight.
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.

Gone away is the budget,
All we can do, is try to nudge it
Obama sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.

In the meadow we can build Rice’s snowman,
Then pretend that she is Secretary State

She’ll say: Are you married?
We’ll say: No man,
But you can do the job
If thats your fate.

Later on, we’ll conspire,
As we dream by Reichstag fire
To face unafraid,
The treason we’ve made,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he’s Obama’s clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the Constitution knocks Obama down.

When in debt, ain’t it thrilling,
Though your wallet gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play,in the fascist way,
Walking in Obama’s wonderland.
