Do you honestly believe that the tax rate is 30% on income of $35K?

Honestly?

She believes whatever the DNC tells her to believe. It's sad, really.

Here's the thing I feel, both sides, Democrats and Republicans, need to come to the table willing to discuss everything...EVERYTHING!!! tax cuts, tax raises, medicare cuts, social security cuts etc. For one side to come in and pull things off the table from day one is just beyond reckless. We had every Republican candidate say that they would vote down a deal that cuts $10 in spending for every $1 in tax raises. That's just unbelievable for a group saying that cutting the debt is the most important thing we need to do.

And I say that not as a Democrat or as a Republican but as a person with a brain. You come at it from 2 different sides and then meet in the middle. Why is that so hard for Washington?

HE know's that rate of the teacher is higher than the rate of a Mitt Romney who did no actual work and created no jobs. It's why Mitt didn't want to release these records. It's why he wont release anymore records. It's why he refuses to live up to the standard his father set.

Sounds like he's appealing to people that believe in personal responsibility and those people that feel they are better at making decisions for themselves than a bloated gov't. Yeah, zombies.

Wrong. From 1999 through 2006 the only budgets that were passed by the GOP included Omnibus, Supplemental, and Continuing Resolutions. From 2007 through 2010 the only budgets that were passed by the Democrats included Omnibus, Supplemental, and Continuing Resolutions. In 2011 the GOP once again failed to pass another budget, so it is certainly no surprise that the Senate could not pass anything. Budgets originate in the House. If the GOP cannot get their crap together and pass a budget, how is the Senate suppose to vote on something that does not exist?

The last budget, consisting of all 13 appropriation bills, passed by the House and the Senate was in 1998.
