Where is the "jobs plan" that the republicans promised? More jobs would increase the tax base which will help the deficit. What is the GOP job plan?
Less taxes, less regulation and a little sanity from 0bama and his wrecking ball of an administration.
government cannot create jobs, but they can sure as hell make it unattractive for businesses to hire, invest or expand.
Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% disagree and say it should not. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Folks, there is NO jobs plan by the parties or the government. Jobs WILL pick up...
On the Wed. after the first Monday of 2012, companies that want to see the Democrats out of office will MAGICALLY find all these new positions to fill, even though demand for US goods has been stronger now in the past 5-6 months then in the last 3-4 years. Heck China is now LOSING jobs to us, GE was awarded 3 huge contracts this past month. Until the corporations decide who they want as president, they will stranglehold the rest of us. We just have to hold on for 16 more months.
“Here’s how it works,” Autor wrote in an e-mail. “1. You have a set of policies that you favor at all times and under all circumstances, e.g., cut taxes, remove regulations, drill-baby-drill, etc. 2. You see a problem that needs fixing (e.g., the economy stinks). 3. You say, ‘We need to enact my favored policies now more than ever.’ I believe that every item in the GOP list that you sent derives from this three-step procedure.
Just about everyone agrees we need to raise the debt ceiling for the short term, until we can cut the budget and spending sufficiently.
As to raising taxes, keep in mind that the Bush tax cuts are due to expire, and 0bamaCare adds billions in tax increases, so we will have dramatic tax increases soon enough. 0bama just wants to add even more taxes on top of the close to 8% tax hikes we will see in the very near future.
The current top federal rate of 35% is scheduled to rise to 39.6% in 2013 (plus one-to-two points from the phase-out of itemized deductions for singles making above $200,000 and couples earning above $250,000). The payroll tax is 12.4% for Social Security (capped at $106,000), and 2.9% for Medicare (no income cap).
So, for a family in high-cost California taxed at the top federal rate, the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2013, the 0.9% increase in payroll taxes to fund ObamaCare, and the president's proposal to eventually uncap Social Security payroll taxes would lift its combined marginal tax rate to a stunning 58.4%.
We have some huge tax increases on the way, so why is 0bama acting like we need more tax increases? We could slash 20% of government spending just by eliminating the increases 0bama created since he took office.
Did you accidentally post this on the wrong thread?
I'm kind of confused, do you think increasing taxes will motivate business to hire? Taxes are going to rise over the next few years even if we do nothing at all. hopefully by then our economy will turn around.
Government does not create jobs, since they cannot create jobs from Washington, a jobs plan is just rhetoric. What they can do is loosen some of these regulations that are stifling jobs. The 0bama admin have added so many new regulations just thru the EPA and 0bamaCare alone, and these new regs are killing jobs and will cause the cost of living to rise for all of us.
