Dear repubicans, there is absolutely no sane, valid, defensible reason to . . . . . |
|
. . . . . to maintain any tax cut for people earning over $200K.
We cannot afford this. Even if we could, it has not benefited the greater society in any way, shape, or form.
Period.

3. No kidding. And have you noticed it's all the supposed deficit hawks that support it? |
|
Dem and Repub. Disgusting. We can blow the budget to make the rich even more comfortable, but not the poor or the disabled or the children. WTF? For shame.

WTF?

that most if not all of them are in that tax bracket, so they are going to want it if only purely in a selfish way.

9. How many folks do you think make more than $200K? |
|
I would love to see where you found that fact? I thought only about 5-10% of American taxpayers made more than $200K. I think the Republicans received more than 5-10% of the vote in the 2008 election.

11. Pubs know, but will stay the course, lying, distorting, mis-informing, |
|
and grand-standing to make sure faithful true-believers will think life in the western world as we have known it will cease should Warren B. be asked to send as high a percentage of his total income to Uncle Sam as his secretary does: Warren reportedly knows of this gross inequity and would like to bear a fairer share of the income tax burden, but such thinking is utter heresy to true-believing pubs. ;)

18. One needs to look no further than what they've DONE with their tax cuts... |
|
during the last 8 years. Nothing that's helped us, and everything that's HURT us.
ENOUGH.
