July 13, 201016 yr Well, actually Obama has effected change. It's just not change you agree with. And apparently a rather large amount of people that did vote for him and likely won't again, just look at Independents current view of him.
July 13, 201016 yr The economy can no more be laid at the feet of Bush (solely...get it...solely...feet...:lol:) than it can be laid at the feet of Obama. It's a worldwide crisis, and one that will take a global effort to right.That can't be true! Obama said it was Bush's fault.:sssh: Nice pun, RM. :clap:
July 14, 201016 yr We need our next President to be fiscally responsible. Get us away from what Benjamin Franklin warned about when he said," When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."
July 14, 201016 yr We need our next President to be fiscally responsible. Get us away from what Benjamin Franklin warned about when he said," When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Totally agree, but we also need a House and Senate willing to do the same. There's the problem.

You mean to quit electing politicians who give tax breaks to the wealthy and subsidizes companies while they are making record profits. I agree.
July 14, 201016 yr I totally agree, but it worked for Obama. You may have posted that comment as a joke, but I think you may have hit the nail on the head.:thumb:

July 14, 201016 yr You mean to quit electing politicians who give tax breaks to the wealthy and subsidizes companies while they are making record profits. I agree. Have you as a matter of conscience stopped taking any tax deductions yet?
July 14, 201016 yr Have you as a matter of conscience stopped taking any tax deductions yet? Because I am one of the wealthy? - LOL. I would bet that I pay a higher percentage of my income than someone making over a million dollars a year.
July 14, 201016 yr As a person who favors raising taxes I would think that as a matter of conscience that you would pay every penny that you could so you would then not take a single deduction. So I ask again directly, since you favor raising taxes do you decline to take all deductions? I would think that if everyone that favors raising taxes stopped taking ALL deductions as a matter of conscience there would be less of a need to raise taxes. I would go so far as to say that anyone who favors raising taxes on ANYONE and then takes any deductions is being more then a little hypocritical.

I have a handful of clients who actually exceed the million dollar taxable income threshhold annually. If your tax as a % of taxable income is higher than any of my clients' whose taxable income exceeds $1 million, I'll send you a check for $100. Just email me a copy of your latest tax return and let the fun begin.
