Bottom line, lets get our spending under control, cut government wasteful spending across the board. We dont need to "spread the wealth"... his code for tax the rich to get more government programs. We need them to cut their outrageous spending, balance the budget, get in the black, then come to us for possible tax hikes for responsible reasonable government programs. All of you amaze me. So quick to give more of your earned money to the government to waste. Government has proven time and time again that they do not know how to use our money... why give them more? Its a joke, and you are kidding yourselves, if you think only the rich will suffer.

a family making 40-60k who uses deductions for their selves, their kids, their home and whatever else to get their taxable income down is no different than millionaires finding loopholes to keep more of what they have. yet they get called 47%ers and lumped in with people who abuse the system. these families aren't 'entitled' to shit. they are playing by the same tax code as everyone else. they pay their payroll taxes. saying 50% of americans pay no income tax is disingenuous and you know it.

and what romney and ryan aren't telling anyone is that they want to kill mortgage interest, property tax deductions and student loan deductions, that is fucking brilliant. let's just eliminate one of the biggest reasons to buy a home in this depressed housing market.
the gop has had 4 years to get their shit together and come up with a solid plan, instead they are scrambling like assholes at the 11th hour. you guys on the right should be super pissed. and if the house doesnt get their shit together, dont be surprised if you lose that too, because if you think romney has a chance in hell, you are insane.- he won't understand. JazX has water in his head.DrBombay

- That he went republican? Yes it was sad.aaux
- No, that, that stopped you from voting for a man that you believed in.whhipp

paul has some good qualities, like auditing the fed, but there's a lot to be desired in other areas for me. not saying obama is lord greatness either. he has let a lot of us down on guantanamo and our war engagements, but the gop has no forward thinking and they are being completely reactionary.
i mean look at what romney is saying about hispanics..
http://www.mamiverse.com/romney-…- romney's campaign is going to go down as historically terrible.BonSeff
- That wasnt so bad. People are ridiculous. May be bad that it becomes a one party rule? No balance in our Politics? So easily misconstrued. I guess when we speak we have to give a clear definition for each word we speak as to not offend any person or persons. I mean its hideous.whhipp

The estimates suggest that cutting the corporate rate by 10 percentage points is associated with an increase in total real GDP growth of 11.1 percentage points over the period. This would move the U.S. from below average to above average in terms of economic growth among OECD countries. Personal income taxes on high incomes also have a significant negative effect on growth, such that cutting the rate by 10 percentage points is associated with an increase in total real GDP growth of 7.5 percentage points over the period. This would bring the U.S. to roughly an average level of growth relative to OECD peers.
The seven fastest-growing countries in the OECD all have below-average corporate taxes and below-average personal income taxes on high-income earners. The U.S., on the other hand, has the second-highest corporate tax rate in the OECD, and an above-average personal income tax rate. Of the three tax rates considered here, the only one where the U.S. is below average - more than 10 percentage points below average - is the one that does not matter for long-term growth: the payroll tax.
If lawmakers want to have the biggest impact on boosting long-term economic growth in the U.S., they should turn their attention to cutting tax rates on corporate and individual income.
- But a cut in corporate tax is to you guys is blasphemy, they are the problem not the answer!? They are the 1%... nooooo!!!!!whhipp

"the bush era tax breaks have proven not to trickle down.
"job" creators don't just sit around with a pile of cash and think, ya know, I should really hire someone with all this extra cash i have."So the premise here is, if someone has too much cash sitting around and not giving someone a job, then its best for the government to take it away to do what it pleases?
Surely this is not what you are saying, are you?
- The premise is if they're sitting on shit loads of cash thanks to government funded tax breaks then theyaaux
- shouldn't be getting those breaks to begin with.aaux
- Do massive tax breaks not count as hand outs to republicans? Just stuff like food stamps and unemployment?aaux
- Nope, its their money in the first place.whhipp
- So where does the money for those tax breaks come from?aaux
- From not taking it. LMAOwhhipp
- Point is, those tax cuts were put in place to stimulate job growth. They have proven not to create jobs, so scrap them.DrBombay
- jazx, do you really believe the shit you spew? You just seem like such a perfect gop-bot with your responses.aaux
- And the government will create them? With what money? Geez, what money? We are in debt!whhipp
- Infrastructure projects create jobs. Hell of a lot more reliably than corporate tax breaks.aaux

Mitt Romney's engineered "Corporate Socialism Scheme" for the other 47% not paying state income taxes.
To paraphrase Mitt: "Fuck them lazy, no good leaches that want free hand outs"! - Mitt
Meanwhile let's give corporate subsidies to: Corporate America, Poor Farmers, Big Oil, Energy Companies, etc... Corporatism at it's finest!

my point was that the term "job creator" is a fallacy that the right uses to garner sympathy from white middleclassers for rich people who could give a shit about them. look at the states that deal with the most poverty, they are the republican south.
