I'm all for tax breaks for the rich. I work for a rich person, my wife works for a rich person. Those rich people put food on my table and a roof over my family's head.
As long as my rich employer keeps getting richer, he'll keep paying me to work for him.Tax him out of business, and I'm living in a van down by the river.

Just my rambling $.02

Have any of you felt the trickle down effect that Bush gave to the rich...(3% of the population??)

Do you realize how much of an idiot you look like to those that actually take time to learn facts?

Bush tax cuts were for everyone....3 minutes on google can teach you that.

You're too much of a moron to take that kind of time..it's time you could spend with your circle jerk liberal friends.  Now go stick your head back in the sand and leave those of us who remotely understand the world alone.

I am saying that I pay less in taxes now than I did 9 years ago because of the Bush tax cuts...and I am by no means anything more than middle class.  People now don't take the time to learn any facts about government or the world around them...and Mike James is the result.

Saying the Bush tax cuts helped 3% of the population is a flat lie.....anyone who does research can find out.

Saying that undoing tax cuts will help the economy is a lie....anyone with a basic understanding of economics knows that.

Saying that the rich don't pay as much in taxes as the middle class is a lie...anyone who spends 3 minutes on google can learn that.

 O.K., gotcha now. Shooting down Mike James for supporting Obama's handout/bailout economic plan while supporting the economic policies that have lowered your tax bill in the preceding 9 years.

  Makes sense to me, but what do I know?

If that is what you get after reading this thread then I'm not sure what you know.  Mike James is slamming Repubs for only giving tax breaks to the rich....I said he's an idiot and a liar.

I didn't say I supported anyone's economic policy, only that saying Bush's tax cuts didn't help everyone isn't true.

So...I'm not exactly sure where you got that from...but okay

Here's my question

8 years of tax cuts for the rich and business...

And where are all the jobs that would have been created by this??

Last week 100,000 jobs lost...

Trickle down doesn't work.  If you have everything and I give you more money what are you going to do with it? Put it away for a rainy day.  

The problem is that middle america isn't spending.  They don't have the extra money to do so due to whatever reason (bad investing, slow growth of wages, etc).

So need to get money to the people who will buy, who will spend it...that is they key to getting the economy on the turn.

Gotta love people who don't understand economics, Rich people don't hide their money in their mattress, they invest it.  Those investments, create jobs.  When you tax the rich people, less money is being invested, and you give that money to our government, which time and time again, has proven they will waste the vast majority.

Seriously, Obama's stimulus plans calls for hundreds of millions of dollars for condems.  That pretty much says what his plan is going to do to all of us in the long run.
Title: Re: Repubs tax breaks for the rich
Post by: srlunatic on February 01, 2009, 04:34:28 AM
So exactly how do investments create jobs?

If this was true why are we losing jobs at a near record rate??

Investments into financial markets do not create jobs as we have seen.

How do investments create jobs?  Would GE, Ford, Chrisler, Microsoft, Apple, etc... ever have gotten to where they are without money from investors?  People just don't pull the money out of nowhere, they develop business plans, find investors to fund them, etc...  Even the McDonalds Franchises, often they are investments by rich people in order to make more money.  What is the entire purpose of publicly traded stocks?  The initial stock offerings are to raise capital.  Nursing homes?  Without the rich people to build them in an attempt to make more money, they wouldn't exist.  Right there, those are nursing jobs, nurses aids, dietary, medical records, maintenance, food services, etc...

Why are we losing jobs by the thousands?  Because our idiotic government, decided everybody should be able to own a home even if they couldn't afford it.  They strongly encouraged banks to give out loans to those that didn't qualify under previous standards, and then as Mortgage rates changed, those unqualified home owners couldn't pay their mortgages, and without that money, the credit market dried up.  Billions and billions of investor dollars lost due to the government meddling in the housing market.  As banks collapsed because of it, those rich people lost an awful lot of money, and no longer have it available to invest in other areas, so they are unable to stem the tide.

I got a tax cut, I'm certainly not rich. I'm sure none of you cashed your refund checks the gov sent you either. I believe trickle down theory was Reagan, and that turned this country around completly. Handed a perfect economy Clintons who blew it by passing things like NAFTA.

Taxes can be used as a tool to direct investment into a stalling economy.  An prime example is a tax break on capital gains for money directly invested in business, while increasing capital gains taxes for interest earned on money tucked away in savings.

Democrats don't necessarily rob from the middle class to pay poor people.  Welfare underwent a massive restructuring under the Clinton Administration which greatly limits the amounts and length that welfare is paid.  Although we still have welfare, it doesn't account for a huge part of the federal budget.

Believe it or not, both parties can have some good ideas at times.  Unfortunately neither party is willing to address the fact that our tax structure is outdated, expensive, and does not work to achieve our goals.

A combination of a value added tax and sales taxes can fully fund all government programs, thus eliminating income taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes, and possibly property taxes (though I doubt they'll ever let go of that one).  No one could cheat on their taxes, everyone would pay an equal rate, foreign corporations would pay the same in taxes as domestic corporations, and even the IRS would be disbanded.

It's all so simple it makes my head spin, but we can't seem to get it through our thick heads to elect only those politicians who promise to revamp the tax system, and to only re-elect those politicians who follow through with that promise.

Not trying to hijack this thread, but in all of this, I don't know how the Osama plan is going to help anything besides the fat, lazy person that wants to sit on the couch all day. I am middle class and I won't get sh!T from this new plan. I don't really want or need anything, but I don't want my taxes to skyrocket just so those lazy pukes can keep laying around.

I am very fearful where we are heading right now. President Osama has way too many flaming liberals on his side and can pretty much force anything through that he wants to.

Hopefully I am wrong and this crap helps, but I really think we are in for a long period of suffering in this country.

To get to the topic at hand, anyone who wants to know why this economy is so bad should go back to the Clinton years and investigate exactly who forced the banks to lend money to people who couldn't afford it. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were not President Bush's children, but unfortunately President Clinton's illegitimate children who turned our economy upside down.

The rich pay more taxes, thus keep the economy moving forward a little more than your 40 year old gas station clerk.

Heaven forbid someone works hard, makes good choices and becomes successful.

It's what keeps this Country moving forward.  Socialism stunts the growth of a Nation.  If I don't have to do anything special, or work harder to make any more or less money then the next guy I wont, and that's when we stop progress dead in it's tracks.

To my Trickle Down Voodoo Economic Friends...

Since we have been doing the Tax Cuts for the Wealthy the last 8 years..which according to your wisdom will trickle down and help the economy be strong and robust...

Why then are we in this economic crisis?

Who were the ones playing with the Derivative Games?? Or another name Structured Investment Vehicle??

You're an idiot...that's all I can say...how many times can we say "everyone got a tax break" and you keep saying "tax breaks for the rich"?

Someone who claims to be as well read as you do can't be this blind to a simple fact.

What I think is funny, is that there is a thread based on tax cuts for the rich and yet they say they don't have the funds for things like fixing roads and stuff.  So, they raise the tax on gasoline?  So, give a break to those making millions of dollars.  Maybe A-Rod is onto something.  He can't live off of 25 million a year.  So, he opts out in order to get 28.  But give him a break.  Got it now.
