Either is correct.
Dear God, I just flashed on Griff living up to his new title with Dick Armey.
"Americans rally for smaller govt. taxes"
Unless this was a Million Man Millionaires March, then none of these ignorant teabaggin' racists had their taxes go up.
It was a whine fest against Democrats and against the black man in the White House.
Also, it's a misnomer to say he reduced taxes on 95% of Americans. In fact, it was just a tax rebate. If it was a true tax cut they would have changed the tax code to reduce tax liability for 2008. But they didn't. When tax time rolls around, you're going to owe the same for 2008 that you owed for 2007. And if you haven't paid as much in taxes throughout the year, you're going to owe more to Uncle Sam on April 15th.
Heard Lawrence O'Donnell say this morning that the Senate Finance Committee has approved a provision for the Baucus health care plan to include a 35% surtax on health insurance plans valued at more than $8,000 for individuals and $21,000 for families. This will affect many more people than just millionaires if it gets passed.
So fog, go on drinking the kool aid if you want to continue believing the BS that no one making under $200K is going to pay higher taxes. Some already are and more will in the future if this administration gets its way.
LOL. Yes, he's the first person to tax and re-tax and tax big tobacco.
I wonder why anyone would in the first place.
Besides, not smoking actually HELPS all classes: you'll live longer and have smaller medical bills.
There are many, many different ways to tax. You seem a tad confused about the issue.
Maybe all the tea-partying has gotten you a bit dizzy in the head?
BTW, did you know there actually was a middle-class tax break in the Stimulus Bill?
So income taxes under Obama are actually lower under Obama than Bush W!
The government will be happy to hear that!!
I don't disagree that smoking is bad for you, it is.
I believe, the point is that Obama and the current administration are liars. The people who don't see that are blind, they are people who are told what to think and they say "Yes Sir! Thank you for telling me what to think, for a minute there I was afraid I was going to have to think for myself" I bet you think you live in a democracy don't you.
The majority of people today have been indoctrinated by the government through public schools and liberal media and have never been taught to think for themselves, that is why they can not see the lies.
Prove it.
Some day we're going to have to pay for the wars Dubya got us into.
Teabaggers don't care about the poor. That's why you hicks don't want to see a universal health care plan.
Also, we're not talking about suddenly taking care of an extra 50 million people. They already receive care. What health coverage reform is about is how we pay for that care. Currently, they can't foot their own bill, for whatever reason, and have no insurance, for whatever reason. This means bankruptcy, courts, collection agents, and costs being written off as losses which causes all our health costs to go up. Much cheaper if they simply had insurance in the first place, right?
I agree that cigarette taxes hurt the poor the most. This is true of any flat tax, such as sales tax, gasoline tax, or the proposed 'Fair Tax' flat rate tax on personal income. The definition of 'income' in 'income tax' is actually proceeds from capital sales, such as equipment or land, also dividends, and profits on stocks and commodities sales. It was not supposed to include wages at all.
I'll give you another chance to answer NY Rep. Weiner's question: What do the insurance companies bring to the table in regards to health care?
Yes...to those who can swing an extra $400 plus for insurance.
Definitely, health care costs need to be controlled, but there are better ways of doing it than what's been proposed.
Explain yourself...and show, don't tell your examples.
Why is the federal government so unwilling to allow people to purchase insurance across state lines?
Who said thats the Feds problem? Try asking your own state why they do not let companies trade services across state lines?
Why won't they make a firm commitment to tort reform?
Why should they? Is that not one small piece of the bigger puzzle?
I don't know the answer to the first question, but the answer to the second is that the Dems are totally in bed with the trial lawyers.
Explain yourself...and show, don't tell your examples.
Now, why don't you provide something worthy in response to the other points I made? Is it because you can't?
Thats because you are an ass making claims you can't back up.
Like I said, you're delusional if you think the cost of health care reform and deficit reduction is going to be able to be funded by 5% of Americans. Taxes WILL increase for more than 5% of the population.
Pssh...not only will that 5% (that are apart of the top earners and I would take a guess CAN spare some change) help with government health insurance...but EVRYone who pays taxes with buy in. Just like paying you share for public schools is you don't have kids.
Stop being ridiculous.
Insurance companies provide affordable health care to many.
That would be a good answer if you left out the words "affordable" and "many". It's obvious you have no clue as to what's happening in the real world.
Medicare has 3% overhead. Insurance companies have 30% overhead (and they're petitioning to raise it to 35%). See any savings there? It that too difficult to understand.
Anti-Tax Tea Party.
9/12 Project Party.
Just give up and say that it was a Bitter Old Farts' Party.
They say this is a fight to "take our country back". But uh, to where, exactly?
Before Iraq?
Before the lack of oversight on Wall St. that caused the meltdown?
Or is it only just before the Democratic control of Congress and Barack Obama?
The liars are leading the ignorant and stupid.
These are the same Republican schmucks who for years wanted lower taxes, but still wanted to wage a war in Iraq that needed to be funded.
Does that sound like fiscal conservatism?
Democrats - tax & spend. (At least they know it has to be funded.)
Republicans - no tax, but still spend.
It was a whine fest against Democrats and against the black man in the White House"
Couldn't have stated it better myself. I won't contend that it's the sole reason for this "circus show" but it undeniably a large portion if not the majority.
Maybe that's because the major news organization don't bother themselves with petty crimes and non-stories, especially ones in which the gotcha filmmakers broke the law.
Some hospital administrator in my city just admitted to embezzling $600K from the taxpayers. Why didn't the MSM report on that?
FNC is far from mainstream media
Are you saying that FOX is behind the "investigative" sting operation in the ACORN story? Is FOX the company that should be held accountable for breaking the law in Maryland?
I'm sure you aren't because you have no idea what you are talking about.
ass
