I had not seen that posting. Your post...stunnning. Sort of like me having to pick my jaw up off the floor. Man, between his peeps and the illegals, we look like absolute suckers for paying taxes.

You know, how she was gushing with glee now that Obama is going to be president that she won't have to worry about filling her car with gas or making her mortgage payment? I guess the reality of only getting small petty cash has thrown cold water on her parade. Anybody hear from that young woman lately?

I'm not after people who either earn it or invest their money in something useful, you know, just the dredges who squeeze theirs, cheat and scream at us to pay pay pay pay (while they control $20T in assets). I saw the other day that Kerry moved $18M from foreign stocks to U.S. stocks prior to his run in 04. My interpretation of that.....it means he and the Madame probably had about $30M in stocks, or 3% of her Forbes-estimated $1B fortune. Kind of like a working man putting about a grand in a mutual fund. And thanks for your very kind words the other day. Much appreciated.

Most people making 2.8M in income a year are the parasitic idle rich, and they declare any income they feel like, since they are never audited, and they have dozens of ways to hide and shelter income. Occassionally, they declare a minor fraction of the amount they actually make and let it be taxed just in case they are asked about taxes sometime. The tiny % payment will fool anybody hearing it into thinking it is consequential. To those parasites, taxes aren't even in their vocabulary. A few people who declare 2.8M for a year actually earn it. Mostly, they are C-suite business people, very successful small business owners, athletes and media stars. Those people actually pay a ton of taxes. When you see charts that show the top 1% pay 50% of the taxes, the charts are talking about the people who WORK for money, not the parasitic rich, and most make a few hundred thousand a year, not millions. THOSE people, and YOU will end up paying 25% to 100% more in taxes in the next few years. Yes, 25% to 100% MORE. The idle rich will continue to pay virtually nothing.

If he can't send checks like last year the whole point is moot. I know there are going to be a LOT of Obamamaniacs wondering when their check is going to show up. Little did they realize he doesn't want to give anything to anybody. I mean really $13 a week I can't even use that for gas not to mention I will not see it because our federal withholding never even adds up to that. Even if I did see the $13 a week is that REALLY going to make me go out and spend wildly on crap I don't need! Best way to get any of this Porkulus is to apply for a grant to study lint build-up in the belly button on people with innys. This whole idea of a “Tax Cut” is a total joke!

Mr. Obama, this tax credit is ridiculous, and I'm not going to adjust my withholdings so that I can get your credit over the course of the year, because frankly messing with my withholdings scares me, that's why I always claim single and 0, then get a big refund at the end of year. One year I messed with my withholdings and ended up having to pay 400 some-odd dollars, and it nearly killed me. My wife still starts looking at me funny come tax season, and I know she's thinking, 'you're not going to screw this up again, are you?' The extra few dollars a paycheck will not make that much of a difference, but an extra $400 at the end of the year will, so I will just say poopy on you and take my refund a year from now. Then I will probably either put it in savings or pay off bills, thus failing to stimulate the economy even then. So, Mr. Obama, on behalf of low-income people, we don't want any part of your stimulus plan. We don't mind paying the extra money in through our FITW and waiting to get the money all at once more than a year from now, and then probably not using it to buy new stuff.

But I'm sure we all knew that. "Enjoy", really, that extra ten bucks or whatever will create enjoyment? And why, when it comes from Obama, is an alleged tax cut something that we are allowed to enjoy anyway? I thought when they came from Bush they were kickbacks and corporate welfare and blood money, and I hope you all burn in hell with your tax cuts you greedy bastards. But when it comes from Obama, enjoy it. “The first tax credit filers will enjoy”

In their warped little minds, this makes conservatives have to justify tax cuts just as much as liberals have to justify spending.

It's all about telling people what they want to hear. They believe it and they are happy. Bill Ayers and Saul Alinksy prepped the country by changing the curriculum in public schools from reading and arithmetic to improving self esteem. And we saw the flowering of that yesterday when ACORN's Bertha Lewis made a complete fool of herself and was totally oblivious to it. Also notice how the table labels a column "drop in tax bite". Ever see that before? Well they didn't want to say "tax cut" because the first two rows and much of the third row don't pay any taxes. But why they would bother with such a detail when the whole article is a lie about a lie about a lie is unfathomable. One of Rush’s themes yesterday explains this perfectly.
