Obama first to put tax increases on budget table

rich714 2011/04/12 16:12:09
ABOUT DAM TIME!!!!! Most economists and budget analysts say a comprehensive mix of spending
cuts and tax increases is essential to any viable deficit-reduction
plan. Yet few players in the negotiations have gone there. They are crying for cuts then let`s do this.The president is expected to bring back his recommendation, first made
in the 2008 campaign, to end Bush-era tax cuts for households earning
over $250,000 a year. He temporarily set it aside when he signed onto a
late 2010 agreement with Republicans to extend all Bush tax cuts for two
years.It comes in the scramble to heed what is widely viewed as a loud clamor
from voters to slam the brakes on runaway government spending. There has
been no corresponding public demand for raising taxes. That's not
surprising, but the top-bracket U.S. tax rate now is the lowest it's
been in decades, and it's far lower than those in many other
industrialized countries, especially in western Europe. If you want to cut taxes and kill the deficit kill billions on military black book projects and billions in taxes breaks and subsidizes to big OIL hell there making billions off us why should we give them more they should stand on there own feet!!!!
You!

    Everyone should pay the exact same rate. it is the only fair way to treat equal citizens. Not to mention if you take every dime from the rich it would not pay for the deficit for 1 year and then all of our investment capital would be gone screwing us for years to come. Any idiot can see that spending is the problem.

    This jellousy and mob rule the democrats want to use to steal from other equal Americans is sick.

    When you take from the productive and give to the non productive it only assures the money will be used for non productive purposes.

    If democrats have any substance at all. you should be able to answer this simple question:

    Every democrat policy hurts jobs, the economy, and the middle class.

    explain how allowing people to keep more of their money causes job loss and hurts businesses. Better yet explain how increasing taxes, higher health care costs, higher energy costs, higher regulations, requiring unskilled HS dropouts in the union to be paid more than doctors, strong trial lawyers, or any other horrible job killing democrat policy helps the economy grow, create jobs, compete abroad, and have cash reserves for recessions.

    You can't can you.

    Democrats lack substance.

    It is time we grow a spine and expect able bodied people to take care of themselves. I know it is hard for democrats to comprehend self responsibility, and actually working to pay for yourself and your health care as insurance. (You know actually preparing before you have health issues). I know, self responsibility is a new and inconceivable concept for democrats.

    By the way, we know you do not care about anyone but yourself After all, where were you when it came time to pay for all the entitlements? That’s right, pointing your finger at others. Just like Obama's brother lives in a shack and his 'favorite aunt" lives here illegally, in section 8 housing, on food stamps, and social security she never paid into, all while Obama jet sets around the world eating $100/lb steak. We see right through you liberals

    Exactly. If we're being serious about the deficit, then we must generate revenue. That revenue should come in the form of higher taxes on the wealthy. The wealthy have had it good for a long time now, and they can afford to chip in a little. If we're really serious about the deficit, then we must cut spending. The largest piece of the pie is military. Defense spending is the first place we should look. You are right - it's assinine that Big Oil gets subsidized. Record profits every quarter, yet they get federal money? Crazy.

    And how about cutting all the billions to big oil and the military that would knock down the deficit in fact it would wipe it out. Talking about B.S the tea party was all about cutting this and that. And what is the first thing they do is wast more money and time on trying to repeal health care OH YES WHAT A CUT!!! How much time and money was wasted on that futile effort???
