Tea baggers join in pork barrel spending - Page 5

In income tax?? Wow, that's got to hurt.  You paid more in income tax than I made.

I paid zero. I have all my money in offshore tax havens. I also moved all my business over to other countries as some of them do not have labor laws and I can get cheap labor and hide all my profits overseas. Sounds like you need to find low people in high places. LMAO.

Sitasmom, I do not care what you pay in taxes. What ever amount it is, for you it is not enough. Maybe that oil company can help you out with all the money they are raping in, shouldn't be  a problem for them.

60K in income tax huh?  you really expect us to believe that?  you said you had 60K in tax liability, now you also paid 60K in income tax?  wow, you need a new accountant or something. 

It's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about when you parrot what the talking heads tell you to say.

SM says: "Our federal tax liability for 2009 was well over $60,000"

Hmm! If the above statement is accurate, your  family's TAXABLE income in 2009 was around $215,000

This is TAXABLE income as opposed to GROSS income since taxable income is after various deductions such as personal exemptions, mortgage interest, etc. The likelihood is that your gross income was well over $250K. You were in a 33% tax bracket.

I notice you did not want to disclose your 2010 tax liability. I suspect it was lower because I vaguely recall reading that you were laid off after the BP oil spill. I think you said you worked for BP - which of course explains your strong defense of BP and how you made light of the impact of the oil spill even as people in LA were devastated by its effects.

So, you resent paying less than 25% of your gross income of $250K, in taxes to support defense spending, subsidies to oil companies, subsidies to other corporations, lower taxes for those making over a million dollars a year, fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and various other pet Republican pet projects?

Tell us SM, are you OK with not receiving the same Medicare benefits that current beneficiaries enjoy and paying more for Medicare since you are one of the more affluent who should pay more under the Ryan plan?

I love seeing how those who voted for the Republicans in 2010 because Obamacare was going to introduce "death panels" and undo Medicare - both charges were false - then turn against the Republicans because the Ryan plan specifically states that it wants to essentially privatize Medicare for those under the age of 55!

BUMP

Ahh, Mystere!

SM's silence is deafening but then SM, is a flame thrower - she tosses something out hoping that no one will take her up with specifics because she likes talking in generalities similar to the right wing websites which are the source of her entire knowledge base.

For example, the Republican mantra is cutting tax rates increases economic growth and results in more tax revenue.  So a 20% rate would be better than a 30% rate and a 10% rate would be better than a 20% rate and a 0% rate would be better than a 10% rate. But............ a zero percent rate would mean that there would be no revenues from taxation? Oops!

Also, never mind that when Clinton raised taxes in 1993, the Republicans said that tax revenues would fall ........... and then we had the greatest economic boom that the country ever experienced for the next seven years until Dubya performed his magic!

SM wants a strong defense, tight border controls, Medicare for her parents and if she were getting to Medicare eligible age, she wants it for herself as well, tax subsidies for the oil companies and for good measure let's throw in the invasion of any countries that we don't like. But she does not want to pay for all of this - those revenues will need to appear like manna from heaven!

Not to mention believing any right- of -Attila- the- Hun website, or any sensational racist site around,as she posted on the cop thread she also started. Sad.
