The only thing not taxed is the air we breathe

Carbon credits, anyone?

Sure they’ll raise taxes; it means absolutely nothing to them, except the purchase of more votes and political power.

When your tax bill is in excess of 30 million, more than the budget of a lot of companies, then a few hundred thousand here or there wont make any difference. But the working person has to decide what bill wont get paid, what necessity their child wont get, what doctor visit will go undone because the money they would have spent on those things is confiscated by the likes of Ted and Hillary and Obama. But rest assured, John Murtha will put our tax money to good use using it to stay in office. So remember that the next time the bill collector calls.
What’s interesting is God only asks for 10% and will wait. Caesar demands and takes over 33% and he’s not crazy about waiting for it.

Barack Obama has released his tax returns for the year 2007: Total income of $4.2 million between himself and Michelle.

The overwhelming majority of the money, $4 million, came from royalties on his two books, Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope.

The Obamas also donated $240,370 to charity, and paid $1.4 million in federal taxes.

That’s a 35% tax bracket.

our country desperately needs more.

* do you think the “loopholes” should be closed, or not? Please offer some reasoning, either way. And if you answer “yes” please explain why “loopholes” for corporations are “bad”.

You SAID:

“”At least he’s not one of those rich Republicans (Bush, Forbes, …) who spend the majority of their political capital pushing for tax cuts that benefit themselves enormously.”

So: leaving aside the illogic of your claim (when have Bush or Forbes spent their political capital on having to arm-twist anyone for tax cuts? What political capital does Forbes have, given that he’s not an elected official?)…

do you think Kennedy spent any of his own “political capital” pushing for loopholes in the estate tax laws that benefitted himself enormously? If not, are you claiming he stood by and let it all happen around him, whilst a Senator since the the 1960’s.?

For those new to the this site: it’s at this point that (a) lgm’s STUPIDITY is exposed, and (b) where he stops posting in the thread, or ignores the challenges posed him..

It’s always this way, which is why we caution you in attempting to engage lgm.

He does….not…engage…in…good faith…argument. Intellectually he is a T*RD in a punchbowl.

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son – Dean Vernon Wormer, Faber College, occasionally a very wise man…

And now we can add “hypocritical” to his resume.

Our hostess wants lively discussion. I criticize (as above) but don’t insult her. I don’t comment on her looks or ethnicity or profession. Many posters here do those things to me.

My liberal loon, I see ugliness in you, not because of your bushy little unkempt beard, but for what is in your mind.

Your so-called critisims are typical of someone who forgot where this country came from and what it has given the world.

If someone like you had to produce to make a living, you would be on welfare. Instead you are a parasite protected by a form of government subsidized welfare….our disfunctional education system.

For your illogical views that never end, I see one sick, repulsive individual. I would feel the same if you were Halle Berry beautiful, so don’t take my criticism personally….arschloch!
