TAX TAX TAX and more TAX

[sdduuuude]

[quote=afx114]You gotta give it to the prior administration though, they were smart. Why raise taxes to pay for a couple wars when you can be a hero abroad with your militarism and a hero at home with your tax cuts, all the while leaving the next guy holding the bag? Genius.[/quote]

Jeez. Scary but true. Don’t tell Congress or they’ll start a new bill to kill all the Geniuses.

The people who are part of the Tea Party understand that more taxes and more spending are not answers in making the U.S. economy better. They also understand that bigger government does not create more jobs and prosperity. They are also very alarmed at the high amount of debt that the U.S. has and they want that fixed yesterday.

If that is really the main issue of the tea partiers, where were they for the 8 years before this administration, when congress and the administration ran up debt, and spent and grew the size of government faster than any before them? As the deficit grew by 3 to 4 times what it had been during the previous 8 years and 50% higher than every other administration before, besides Bush the senior’s 4 years in office.

I don’t know how much race has to do with it. But when I hear phrases like “i want my country back”, it does make me pause and wonder. When I hear they want lower taxes, it makes me question their grip on reality. The timing is curious. It would have made sense 4 years ago. Grass roots it isn’t. Well informed, it isn’t. Understanding, it isn’t.

Who said anything about declining work because of higher taxes? We were debating on whether it’s fair to tax someone more because they work harder. You seem to think it’s no big deal, and it’s duly noted.

What ridiculous taxes will cause as in New York an exodus of the wealthy:

New Yorkers are fleeing the state and city in alarming numbers — and costing a fortune in lost tax dollars, a new study shows.

More than 1.5 million state residents left for other parts of the United States from 2000 to 2008, according to the report from the Empire Center for New York State Policy. It was the biggest out-of-state migration in the country.

The vast majority of the migrants, 1.1 million, were former residents of New York City — meaning one out of seven city taxpayers moved out.

“The Empire State is being drained of an invaluable resource — people,” the report said.

Another consequence will be the creation of an even larger underground economy where there will be no cash.

P.S. The comments on the article are hilarious, especially the ones by gulfstreamliberal
