Will the Bush Tax Cuts be Extended?

[TheMulletMutilator]

Taxed too much? Ever check out the tax record for the past century? Come back and tell me if we're still "taxed too much."

I also got a good chuckle from the cuts that you suggested. If you think that anyone in this country (especially the tea party nutcakes) are going to agree to cuts to their medicare, SS, and defense spending, then I have a nice piece of real estate in Florida for you to buy.

Oh by the way, there's a new insurgency brewing in Iraq... And

"US war commander General David Petraeus expressed doubts Monday about the prospect of a victory in Afghanistan by 2014, admitting that a "resilient" Taliban"

But that's ok. It's a lot easier to parade around in 18th century clothing talking about cuts to spending and freedom than to actually pay for two wars, endless spending for the oldies, and retarded tax cuts for rich people (for them to do what? Create jobs in India?).

You mean the two wars we are supposed to be out of by now? I don't need to look at the tax statistics. I shouldn't have to be giving my money to the US government so they can study the effects of marijuana on chimps. Whether you like it or not, Medicare and Social Security need a massive overhaul. Any Tea Partier who disagrees isn't a real Tea Partier to begin with. You talk about paying for two wars. How are we going to pay for the single-payer system you wanted? How are we going to pay for the current watered down version of health care we ended up getting. Answer: we aren't. We will just continue to pass down the debt to our kids and grandchildren until China gets smart and stops buying our debt which is on the horizon. No worries though. By then we will all be Trillionaires because the dollar will be devalued to the point that you will need to bring a suitcase full of bills to buy a candy bar.

I have never heard a Tea Bagger even come close to supporting cuts to the military and/or to SS/Medicare. In fact, quite the opposite.

Dude, seriously, you need to stop. Between arguing about Keynesian economics and now this, you're really showing your ignorance. How is the health care going to be funded? Please, google this and you'll see. It actually deceases the deficit.

You aren't listening to real Tea Parties then. Maybe posers who want their cake and to eat it as well. There is no way it is sustainable to kepp the tax rates the same and yet not bring spending in big time. There was pretty much a bipartisan effort to shoot down the deficit reduction committee's plan to try to get us back on track. Pretty much because it wasn't politically popular. Thank our politicians for trying to pass the problems on rather than solving them.

Interesting. Perhaps you could provide a link to a website?

LOL, you are being ignorant in believing that is decreases the deficit. Go look at the CBO estimates done after it was passed and not the ones used before as a political argument.

Perhaps you could attend a Tea Party. Nope, too many radical racists there for you to actually go to.......

sigh...

All I'm asking is for a website that possesses the collective beliefs of what the Tea Party stands for. Why should I attend one when I all I want to do is read online what they stand for. Are you not providing me with a website because there isn't one? Or because their beliefs aren't what you are suggesting?

Is that really that hard to ask?

I am not providing you a website because not all Tea Partiers are the same. Nor are all Democrats or Republicans. You come up as a personal example of this being a Progressive Democrat(and I am not saying this to insult you). But being a Progressive Democrat you know that there are Blue Dog Democrats etc etc. Or for that matter Progressive Republicans and RINOs. If you need information about the Tea Party then I suggest you either google it or go to one. I have been to a couple. My point being that you should be self sufficient enough to find your own websites and draw your own conclusions. Counting myself as a Tea Partier(I don't believe in PC so you can call me a Tea Bagger if you like) I believe in what I have told you regarding many members I have talked with. I am sure you can find many websites that support and or refute my claims. I also think you can find some racist Tea Partiers. With any Party or organization you have your extremists.

I was so mad I had to leave work. I was completely unable to function after about 3:30 PM. I actually puked when I got home. I wish I was making any of this up. Admittedly I had a fever this morning, but I swear it was related to Obama.

All I've been able to think about between bouts of sleep is "this never would have happened if Hillary was President."

Get over yourself Kick. This decision, one way or the other, is not going to change the economic landscape. Again, until the debt is removed from the system, things are not going to change...

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Of course it would have happened under Hilliary and McCain. The political game is completely rigged. I want Delivery Boy to come in here again and tell us how Obama and Bush aren't similar at all. It gets funnier as time passes by.

I shouldn't have to be giving my money to the US government so they can study the effects of marijuana on chimps.

Because you have the background necessary to properly understand and critique such studies? Or, are you saying we should stop all public science funding?
