"See the problem is we don't CARE that the wealthiest will have to pay taxes at the level they were at when Clinton was in office."

Oh, you WILL care.

Do you honestly think us evil greedy business owners are going to take a paycut because of higher taxes? If you do you are a bigger idiot than you already appear to be. It's you lowly wage slaves that we are going to take it out of....less jobs, less work for those with a job, no pay rise this year, reduced benefits, higher prices for our customers....which would you like it to be? I have 100% control of all the above in my business.

said: "What was the average number of jobs created under the prior tax structure? If the numbers are better now than they were then, then there should be no question whatsoever that we need to maintain the current tax rate."

Not necessarily true. Tax numbers are based on economic conditions. Housing bubble went bust, during Bush. Dot-com went through the roof during Clinton - two different economic environments.

Taffy, what the heck are you talking about? What are you ever talking about? The Boston Tea Party was one of the major steps toward the American Revolution. Do you remember "No Taxation Without Representation"? You lefty enablers wish obama and his minions well on their quest to fundamentally destroy America from within. What then? What happens after your idols accomplish their mission? Do you think they will annoint you for assisting them? Do you really want to live under socialism/marxism/communism?

daffy said to Kennyz (whom didn't say anything about intent, but I digress): "Our founding fathers would be smacking you upside your head right now, so don't pretend to know what their intent was ..."

Why pretend when they made constitutional intent clear in their writings. (Federalist papers most notably, but I imagine you haven't read those, let alone the Declaration or Constitution, right?)

One, the roll back of the Bush tax cuts, is the return Clinton era rates. Two, It's not just a tax on the wealthy. 3) Reasonable people know that cutting taxes in recession will cause further economic stagnation.

Sheesh, talk about out of touch.

So tell us what will raising taxes accomplish? More unemployment? (yep) More non-taxable investments? (yep), More wealth going over seas? (yep)

Problem with soaking the rich, is that the rich KNOW how to avoid being soaked. They will always out smart the gov't, in the end you will...

Our founding fathers would be smacking you upside your head right now, so don't pretend to know what their intent was - But one thing is for sure, it definitely had nothing to do with Bush tax cuts to the wealthiest.

The fact is Campbell here is whining because the BUSH TAX CUT that HE helped push through had a sunset clause, so really it's Campbell AND Bush's tax increase

Man, that reality has to hurt, DEAR.

See the problem is we don't CARE that the wealthiest will have to pay taxes at the level they were at when Clinton was in office. You can call it "Clinton's increase" all you want and it matters not, because we can laugh at the pain you must feel for the fact that your guys are the ones' behind it in reality.

Very funny stuff.

Every Court needs a jester...

Its been 9 years. The Democratic Congress has had the power to make decision for almost half that time. Once again you need the past as a crutch for any responsibility of the present .

Its 9 years later. If you Democrats understand how important at least some of those 'sunsets' are, they can become leaders of the present and take charge in extending them. You seem to be blaming your first grade teacher for problems in high school. Its time to grow up.

Correction, it'd be the revisionist Clinton tax increases.

Poor dear...

All of these "horrific tax increases" that have the Rugged Individualists of the right clutching their pearls were approved by Republican Congress and signed into law by President Bush.

If the GOP wants to frame letting the tax cuts sunset as a tax increase, fine -- then it's the Bush tax increase.

What's funny is that all our intelelctually dishonest Republican apologists don't realize that Bush screwed them -- they sold out their honor for those sweet, sweet tax cuts, and now they'll have neither tax cuts nor honor.

shows up to gloat hopw his hero the hussein is going to stick it to the americans who actually work and pay taxes.

So tell us tyler did you sign up for the birthday card for the hussein, offering to drop to your knees and give him a hummer in gratitude for ruining the american health care system so it's like the failed system in canada

So when exactly do we actively address debt reconciliation? Does the current tax structure adequately address debt reconciliation? Better than the previous tax structure? What are the numbers? Just wondering.

================================================

You need to double that amount and apply it to half of the people. Because only half the country will be paying for the other half.

"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. "
~Alexis de Tocqueville

The tax increase will amount to an average of $12,258 per person.

Check my math please.

$3.8 Trillion divide by 310 million people in USA.

Is everyone willing to do their share?

When will Liberals learn that high taxes hurt people? It's like this whole concept of working people not being able to afford to pay their bills just totally escapes the Liberal mind.

Tax Relief 2003 was highly successful. It stimulated the economy, increased incomes created millions of jobs, increased tax revnues and decreased deficits.

Between Tax Relief 2003 and end of 2007, we had a thriving economy. Unfortunately the Democratic COngress killed it. Look now at the results of Democrats controlling COngress.

Universal care for all the unemployed that will more likely remain so?

You seem to living in an ideal world that doesn't exist .
Good luck with that.

"Number of American jobs lost since the enactment of Obama’s “stimulus” - 3.079 million"

Hmmm. That's under the current tax structure, right?

What's wrong with that picture?

=================================================

"Average number of jobs created each year by start-up companies in America under the current tax rate." (John Campbell)

What was the average number of jobs created under the prior tax structure? If the numbers are better now than they were then, then there should be no question whatsoever that we need to maintain the current tax rate.

================================================

3 million


Average number of jobs created each year by start-up companies in America under the current tax rate

3.079 million


Number of American jobs lost since the enactment of Obama’s “stimulus”
Looks like we only lodt .079 mill jobs if you do the math. (I'm sure this source is totally objective bein g from the Republican Whip).

With an extra 3.8 trillion, Obama will be able to institute full universal health care!

"On January 1, 2011, Democrats will knowingly institute a $3.8 trillion tax increase"

The coming tax increase was designed, written, and passed by the Republican congress in 2001 (using reconciliation) and signed into law by George W. Bush.

Shouldn't someone who pretends to be a congressman know things like that?

The dirty dozen hussein atrocities....

Yes we did:

1. Shaft the American people with our healthcare nationalization, rationing, abortion and taxation atrocity.
2. Shaft the future of Americans by creating a massive multi-trillion dollar debt that will stifle the American economy for generations.
3. Shaft American citizens by supporting ILLEGAL immigrant criminals over American citizens.
4. Shaft American taxpayers by letting the Bush tax cuts expire, thus enacting the largest TAX INCREASE in American history.
5. Shaft white Americans by allowing Black Panther thugs the freedom to physically intimate white voters at polling places.
6. Shaft American workers by enacting incompetent, phony, wasteful pork-filled...

Obama wants to raise our taxes so he can pay for more federally funded tatoo removal, more salamander bridges, more dog parks, more welcome centers for illegals.


Liberals, the gift that keeps on hurting people.

Clinton years.

Bush years.

May the greater amount win.
