Freepwad reaction to lower income folks having to pay more under the tax bill:

I hope they DO pay more in taxes. It’s about time!

BS!

The reason: They don’t pay taxes! Under $20K? You get it all back anyway! And State and Local government employees don’t pay into Social Security because they are covered by other pensions. Sorry, no sympathy here...

A single mother in Ohio ...with two young kids and a $16,900 income will keep the $420 that she’s gotten from the Bush tax cuts. On top of that, she will receive another $1,720 in tax relief — $340 from the payroll tax holiday plus $1,380 from an expanded child tax credit.

Meanwhile, an analysis from the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities estimates the tax cut compromise as a whole will keep more than 2 million Americans above the poverty line and reduce the severity of poverty for 18 million more.

And an analysis by the Tax Foundation, a research group that favors lower taxes, found that low-income Americans will also be better off under the tax cut deal than they would have been under a bill passed by House Democrats.

Because Obama tinkered with the tax deduction thing, 13 million people will owe more apparently. Or at least get smaller refunds. lol.

Middle- and upper-income workers could very well use the extra money in their paychecks to pay down debt and save, not to spend to prop up the economy.

And what's wrong with that?

Middle-class savers are putting their money back into the financial system, where it gets moved around to the most profitable enterprises. You know, the enterprises that provide jobs.

1. these people are warped.

It's like they are some twisted sick parody of human beings, not actual human beings.

[Raine]

2. Delusions of granduer

they *think* they will be super rich one day. :rofl:

[demigoddess]

5. I keep telling you guys that Rush LIMbaugh spent years in the 90s

persuading these people that it was good to be poor, that the poor got rich if they worked hard, and that poor people end up rich later on. So when these guys hear 'the rich' they think of themselves. I once heard a man call Rush to say that Clinton was going to 'soak' him with taxes. Turned out he was unemployed for over a year and they were living on the ten thou his waitress wife earned. For a family of four. When he did work he only got 14 thousand a year. Yet, he was the rich man that Clinton wanted to hit with higher taxes.

4. good grief

Just when you think you can't hear anything more insane, they come up with something even more... more... I'm at a loss for words. West and Bachmann?!? That's... that's INSANE. It's actually worse than Palin/Beck.

8. Wow "I get it all back" ?

Where the hell is it then? I don't ever get any of it back!

9. I really wouldn't expect much from people with only two brain cells to rub together.

10. Most "discussion" boards are completely incoherent.
