Democrats Are Weighing More Tax Rebates

[lasersailor184]

I got a big fat zero from the last GWB sponsored rebate, so I'm guessing I'll get a big fat zero from any Dem sponsored one.

Actually, that's not true. If Obama wins the election, I'll be paying for any Dem sponsored rebates.

God I wish the GOP had found someone better than McCain.

The true scary part was that McCain said he fashioned himself after Teddy Roosevelt.  Any conservative who has studied history has just toejam themselves.  So it's either a socialist-fascist, or a moderate socialist fascist.  Take your pick.

Don't be a jerk off steve...

It's a simple question.. did they itch when Bush gave his tax breaks? if no then why are they itching now?

No, the dems complained... then cashed their checks.

Every dime the US government is denied is one less dime for them to piss away on programs to get themselves re-elected, I don't care how it happens

Because Nancy Pelosi and Congress have an averaged approval rating of 9%...

WASHINGTON -- A soured public has given President Bush and Congress record low approval ratings in the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll, underscoring the toll taken by fretful economic woes and long-lasting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The survey, released Tuesday, also set a new AP-Ipsos floor for the number of people saying the country is heading in the right direction. Just 16 percent said the country is moving the right way, a virtual tie with the 17 percent who said so last month.

In addition, 28 percent said they approve of the job Bush is doing, tying his low in the AP-Ipsos survey, set last April.

Congress fared even worse: A new AP-Ipsos low

Corrected your figures with truth.

One bad apple apple fans the other.

They made their riches because of the opportunity provided in this country, so they should expect to pay their dues just like anyone else.

I don't believe anyone on this board has ever said the rich shouldn't pay taxes like everyone else. They can and do pay. They pay much more than the rest of us.

Moray, you didn't actually give an approval rating for Congress.

This is the tag-end of a week in which my wife had to take a lot of guff from my wealthy, sneering, condescending, urbanite in-laws.  I would gladly raise the tax rates on one obnoxious, pretentious, greasy, leering, lecherous, cigarette-in-one-hand-martini-in-the-other, little brother of my wife, to 90%.

I will NOT bless them with my presence during the holiday season this winter, lest he become a statistic, and I end up in prison...

As you can see, at least in regards to them, my views on upper-class tax rates are "evolving."

The super rich would never let it happen because then they would have to pay their fair % based on earnings.

Read that and tell me you don't think they pay enough.

"The Top 50% pay 96.54% of All Income Taxes. The top 50% earns 86.01% (2002: 85.77%) of all the income.
The top 50% were those individuals or couples filing jointly who earned $29,019 and up in 2003.

 (The top 1% earned $295,495-plus.) The top 1% earns 16.77% of all income. The top 1% pay over a third, 34.27% of all income taxes.
 
Americans who want to are continuing to improve their lives, and those who don't want to, aren't. "

Congress according to the Gallup poll, has a 14% approval rating.

Bush's approval rating is 28% through the same poll.
