WTG Georgie!

[AKcurly]

I have a brilliant idea, Grun.  You run for office.  Hell, we'll make an eighth dwarf for you.  Your remarks are right up there with Dopey's.

And on what mental level are your remarks?  Whining that somebody who makes twentyfive times as much as you gets a bigger tax cut?

Actually, the more you earn, the more the system anally rapes you.  Bush's tax cuts just slightly reduced the size of the night stick.

Grun, I not concerned about compensation levels.  Read the thread dude.  I'm concerned about tax breaks when our budget deficit is accelerating.

I'm all for smaller taxes; I'm all for larger taxes if it's necessary to repay the budget deficit.  

However, it's stupid to think we can cut taxes and increase government expenditures.  Furthermore, to watch people at the top end of the tax bracket milk this cow is obscene.

While old Georgie is dumb as a box of hammers, it's abundantly clear to me that he knows how to take care of his buds.

If yourse not concerned about compensation why make comparsion between bush's 30k tax break and your smaller one. The only difference there is compensation.

Why do you think raising taxes will be beneficial?

I already answered why I was concerned about the tax break.

I didn't say raising taxes would be beneficial.  I said "I'm all for smaller taxes; I'm all for larger taxes if it's necessary to repay the budget deficit."  

In other words, I want government expenditures to not exceed tax revenue.

Out of all the talk of economy I'm just wondering when it become wrong to be wealthy? Why do the wealthy have to pay more?

Granted there are some unbalances in the system but what it all comes down to is that alot of folks seem to think that if you are wealthy then you have to pay more?

Hypotheticaly if there was an across the boared 10% tax....well 10% is 10% regardless of what you make but you'd still have folks yelling about how the wealthy arent paying enough.

Good question, Wolf.  I would love to see a flat rate tax.  Everyone pays the same percentage.  BTW, not that it matters, I'm happy with the idea of folks being wealthy.  I have no problem with it whatsoever.

I am unhappy with the idea of wealthy people driving the tax reduction.  Either increase taxes or decrease federal expenditures.  But for the love of pete, don't decrease taxes and increase federal expenditures when we've already got red ink out the gazoo.  A total idiot wouldn't do that, but a crook would.

There you go again mentiong high compensation...  Who should set tax policy, bums on the street?

Obviously the net worth of an individual is irrelevant if they are government employees (or at least it should be.)

But clearly net worth drives your ability to be elected to public office.  For example, the finanical reserves of Kerry's wife makes it possible for Kerry's campaign to exist w/o worry about financial contributions.

I don't want like tax cuts when we have a budget deficit.  It's moronic and it should be criminal.  I believe Bush's tax cuts represent the delivery of earlier compaign promises to corporate hoodlums.

Whatever the tax cuts represent, I know one thing: They don't represent common sense and offer real harm to future generations.
