Boy, there sure are a lot of folks who lie about how much they pay in taxes. And a lot more people suck at Math. You single people should join the TEA party if you don't like the way things are going.
The Tea Party will block their middle class tax cuts like this,
The following documentary shows how the Tea Party and the CEO's at Fox news, manipulate America's conservatives as if they were a herd of retarded sheep.
Everyone should have to pay something. Even if it's five dollars. Everyone should have some skin in the game and understand no one rides for free. No one should get back money they never paid in - EITC. It's got zero to do with taxes, yet it's part of the tax code.
It wouldn't hurt not to let every Tom, Dick and Harry poor person/future Democrat into the country, either.
The reason we supposedly have immigration laws (when they are actually enforced) is to not place a burden on the American taxpayer by admitting a lot of poor people.
Still waiting for the schools to stop feeding the kids of parents who get food stamps, have those food stamps decreased because of those school meals, or have the school meals paid for with the parents' food stamps.
Exactly. I had a liberal trying to convince me that kids getting 3 free meals 5 or 6 days a week at school (many schools have Saturday and Summer programs, solely I suspect to feed the kids who aren't getting fed at home) PLUS their parents getting food stamp benefits for those exact same meals wasn't double dipping.
People like you who make $36,000-$59,000 a year make up 20% of America.
Your group of 20% of Americans got 9% of Bush's tax cuts.
The richest 1% of Americans got 51% of Bush's tax cuts.
It sure doesn't look like it:
Quote:
"...the combined effect of government tax and spending policies is to redistribute more than $2 trillion annually from families in the top 40 percent of the income distribution to those in the bottom 60 percent.
...Interestingly, we find that the biggest net beneficiaries of this increase in redistribution from 2000-2012 are middle-income families and working lower-income families (those in the second quintile). These were the families most targeted by economic stimulus programs and more generous tax credits. Of the $2 trillion in income that was redistributed in 2012, nearly half was paid for by families in the top 1 percent."
1. the ''bush tax cuts'' were mostly for the middleclass and the poor...infact the rich got only a small cut in the income tax
the bush tax cuts/credits helped mainly the poor and middleclass
the credits:
expanded child CARE credit
expanded child credit
energy star credit
tution credit
health care credit
retirement fund (401k/tsp/roth) credit
the 01/03 (aka "bush' ) tax cuts/credits were for EVERYONE..with the poor and middleclass getting the biggest part of the cuts/credits.....\prior to the 'bush' tax cuts there was not a 10% bracket..it was 15%....the rich was cut from 39% to 35%
2. but the biggest part of the cuts/credits was not the tax rates ....... but the CREDITS ( child care credit, child credit, energy efficiency credit, retirement 401k credit, education tuition credit, and the health costs credit) which the "rich" those households over 180k could NOT take
the only cut the "rich' got solely was thier rate dropped from 39 to 35...a 4 point drop
EVERYONE got the capitol gains cut
the POOR got a 5 point drop from 15% down to 10%
and EVERYONE under 180k got the credits...(energy credit, tuition credit, child credit, child care credit, retirement(401k) credit, and health care cost credit)....the 'rich' were not allowed thoise credits as they prorated down on incomes over 180k
the 01/03 cuts and credits benefited the poor and the middleclass much more
to even say 'tax cuts for the rich'...is a LIE
Exactly. I posted a link to data that proves "Bush tax cuts for the rich" to be a deliberately deceptive and manipulative leftist propaganda lie. The stupid are falling for the manipulative lie.

How stupid do you have to be to not see the scam?
And these are the same people that were in an uproar a few months ago when the food stamps were cut.....

Actually both the left and right are lying/telling the truth in a way.
dollar per person the left says bush tax cuts benefited the wealthy more.
% of taxes vs income you are saying they benefited the poor and middle class more.
And both sides then accuse the other of lying.
What foolishness is this? You're both telling the truth........
