tax hike

from JoeUser Forums

Unless the Dems acknowledge that what’s a deficit that an income tax hike of ¼% on the poor, ½-1% on the middle class and 2¾- 4½% on the wealthy wouldn’t cure? There should be no floor, "earned income" credit: if you make a buck be prepared to hand over a percentage, however meager it still helps the deficit.

Yet, there’s little chance  Obama and the left of blue dogs will hammer it home for the good of the nation."

100% agreement, everyone should pay something, even if it's a few bucks. No one should get back more than they paid in.

 At one time I went so far as to include the paper boy, but I've mellowed. O:)

Here is one where the shoes go on the other feet.  it was Bush that essentially cut off the bottom half of wage earners from paying taxes (R), and it is the democrats demonizing that fact (through their demonetization of anything Bush).

Politics do make strange bed fellows! ;)

And just an FYI - I have been paying taxes since I was 11.  Rules were different in those days!

Yep, age 14 for me. It looks kind of funny when the Social Security sends out that annual statement, all the years in two neat little rows. Time flies.

My very fiest payroll tax was 50 cents in 1941.

I was not even a glint in my parents eyes! (they were 8 and 10 respectively). ;)

Wow, they're even too young to appreciate my nostalgic novel on WWII.

IN second grade, I read "The History of WWII' by William R. Shirer.  I did not live your novel, but I can appreciate it since i have studied it extensively.
