Taxcut

[¥ola]

To be brutally honest, if you agree with basically anyone involved with high-end politics, you are a friend.

I'd give 98% of the people in upper-politics are corrupt and the only reason they are there is to make a better life for themselves, they don't give a rats ass about you other than getting your vote, and if you believe otherwise then you obviously cannot open your eyes to the loving world.

I give the US a maximum of another hundred years before we're either bankrupt, torn by civil war, or invaded by another country.

Where does this come from? I have a feeling the most profitable industry in the US doesn't need help.

umm, oil is actually one of the least profitable.

This is good but I'm talking about this animated graph of two lines moving, one is the budget of the "war on drugs" and the other is the percentage that I was talking about, and as the two lines kept moving forward on the graph, the budget line rises a lot while the percentage line practically hangs around the same amount.

If I were president I would have had planes fly over and bomb cartel sites. The government is just milking the whole thing by throwing people in prison and increasing taxes.

Discuss this bullstuff. This adds a good 300.00 per pay period for my family. If you voted for Obama, screw you.

>Complain about national debt.
Okay, congress tries to fix it by raising taxes.
>Complains about higher taxes.
>Complains about debt.
Congress wants to raise taxes on the richer.
>THAT OBAMA FELLUR IS TRYIN' TO RAISE ALL OF OUR TAXES!

What do you WANT the government to do. They can't make money magically appear.

Cut spending. Then there's more money to go towards paying off the national debt.

anything besides defending copyright laws, basic rights and maintaining a police department the gov't really shouldn't be doing.

Ah, but but you have explained it incorrectly. Here's a quote from the first link: The federal government subsidizes the oil industry with numerous tax breaks and government protection programs worth billions of dollars annually.

It's not that the federal government pays for your gas before you, it's that the government allows them more income by giving them tax breaks and protecting their business.

taxing companies is dumb anyways seeing as they are comprised of taxpayers.

usually these taxes are paid for by the consumer who is also a taxpayer so everyone loses.
except the man...

I may have written my first thing incorrectly, but this was the thing I was trying to show. I should of revised my original sentence. Either way, the government is loosing money in order to provide cheaper gas for the consumers.

Why is that dumb?  The government could rake in such a boatload if they didn't hand out tax breaks to the mega giant corporations that can actually handle slightly less profits.

No, they can't. Lol. Taxes are based on a percentage, if you tax them by 5% more they will lay off workers to maintain the same income. Increasing taxes directly correlates with a loss of jobs.

lol they just keep raising the debt ceiling. eventually they're going to have to reach a limit. The fiscal cliff was averted, it will come back. Also, to the guys saying screw you for voting Obama, what? The Senate had to approve this AND the house of representatives. "OH GOD WE HAVE TO PAY LIKE A LITTLE MORE TAXES, SCREW OBAMA." Even the wealthier citizens shouldn't care, as the tax rate increased a minor amount. To a guy making over 400,000 dollars a year, it will be nothing.

Anyone wealthy complaining about this comes off as a greedy twit.
