Are Republicans exaggerating the effects of tax increases to small businesses?

[Anonymous]

I’m assuming the majority on this topic is from CA. So, isn’t CA going through some tax hikes, i.e., sales tax, gas tax, and income tax?
Isn’t this because of the over spending in entitlements, state projects, etc? And, wouldn’t CA be highest taxed state in the country?
How are you guys going to survive, when tourism fall because of the high taxes? I’m sure CA would raise the car rental tax, hotel tax and whatever leisure taxes. Do you feel there will be a trickle effect?

So, do you think that the $870B “spending” bill will actually be a recovery?

What about bailing out folks in foreclosure? Who will be paying for this?

I guess I’m trying to understand the big picture in all this spending.

Thanks!

The goal of the Republican party is to make sure the Democrats and Obama fail at anything they do. This, sadly, is the only way the Republicans think they can salvage their party.

There was a good line in a mafia movie about this. Sorry I cannot remember it exactly, but in essence an old time mafia capo was complaining about how the young guys get ahead in the organization. It used to be you worked your way up, now you just tear down the guy above you.

So for them it’s party and dogma first, country second. May I suggest to anyone who is a level headed Republican, that you re-register as Independent?

Thanks for listening.

I have a few rhetorical questions:

If the Democrats keep saying that the rich aren’t paying their fair share, how does one explain:

1. People making $200,000+ per year represent a mere 7% of the population, yet they pay a whopping 62% of all federal income receipts.

2. The richest 1% of all taxpayers earned above $388,806 paid 39.9% of all federal income receipts.

Tell me: how is it that the top 7% pay 62% of all federal income receipts and yet they’re both evil AND not paying their share?

Also – I’d like to know how anyone here would like it if their taxes were raised by 4% just because someone in the government felt they made enough money, and could easily afford another 4% in taxes? We’re screaming about our tax increases in CA, yet they’re tiny compared to what we’re talking about here.

This all reminds me of a story about the Nazis in WWII. IT goes like this: when they came for the Polish I did nothing because I wasn’t Polish. When they came for the lame I did nothing because I wasn’t lame. When they came for the Jews I did nothing because I wasn’t Jewish. When they came for me there was no one to defend me. No one here is in the effected tax brackets, and therefore think nothing about the government reaching into their pockets to shake them down for even more cash. Sadly, when these same people have their taxes raised by the same amount they will scream bloody murder.

It’s a sad day for out country when everyone is crying about how evil and bad rich people are, and how they deserve to have their money taken away since they can afford it. I for one aspire to hit the highest tax bracket I can through various investments I plan to make. The idea of paying additional funds just because someone else thinks I can afford it is an affront!

“But to come up at this moment in history with a stale “government is the problem,” “we can’t trust the federal government” — it’s just a disaster for the Republican Party. The country is in a panic right now. They may not like the way the Democrats have passed the stimulus bill, but that idea … that government is going to have no role, the federal government has no role in this … it’s just a form of nihilism.”

Hopefully we are hearing the last squeal of these guys, before we get some level-headed people representing the Republican party again.[/quote]

Yeah, I used to be a Republican but they are just such frauds now. They are all about less government handouts to the little guy, but the trillions in welfare going to the banks? They are all in favor of that.

I could respect the Republican position if they wanted to eliminate welfare for everyone, but they don’t. They want to continue giving trillions in welfare to the wealthiest Americans while cutting off completely the few tens of billions going to the poorest Americans. Such hypocrites.

The most disappointing aspect of the Obama presidency so far is that he is continuing the Republican tradition of giving trillions in welfare to the wealthiest Americans. If he would discontinue this practice, I would be an Obama supporter again.
