see how you tempt me so....

This one just felt forced. Like, the digs weren't even funny.

I'm all "But I WANT tax breaks. Who doesn't like tax breaks?"

I don't know. Maybe I'm just a closet Republican or something.

well only the financially top 1% of people will get the tax breaks, and I don't think you qualify...

Yep, could have been funnier. They didn't touch Colin Powell and John Ashcroft leaving or the Democrats struggling to get a compass. The new "Presidential Dog" even. *shrug*

Maybe they're working on that stuff for next time.

So I'm not going to get my extra $500 for a total of a $1000 deduction for my baby because I'm not a top 1% money earner?

And as far as the top 1% of financial earners go, if you were in the 50% tax bracket, I think you'd like a break, too.

Edited to say: Holy crap, politics!

if you want a funny site with flashes of the pres goto ebolaworld.com
i think thats it not sure

Warrning simple math

Tax Payer X earns $10,000 a year and pays 10% taxes. Tax Payer X then pays $1,000 dollars a year to the government.

Tax Payer Y earns $1,000,000 a year and pays 30% taxes. Tax Payer Y then pays $300,000 dollars a year to the government.

Taxes are cut across the board by 5%. Tax Payer X then would pay $500 dollars in taxes a year and Tax Payer Y would pay $250,000 dollars a year in taxes.

Even thought the top 1% persecnt gets more money back from the government than the lowest tax bracket they still pay more than those with in that bracket.

Tax Fact:
73% of the taxes taken in by the government every year is from the top 10% of American wage earnners. This figgure increases between the states at varrying degrees when state income tax is figured in.

The bottom 30% percent of wage earners pay no federal income tax (amendom: they government does take it out of your pay check but those who fall in that brakket can get all of it back by tax time).

In California the State Icome tax rate is 40% for the "rich," any one who makes over 400k a year. Private School Teachers and Bowing employee's who put together the plains are examples of what the legislature of California deam's rich.

I don;t know where you are getting your numbers, but here's how it's going to breakdown

Half of all Americans will receive less than $100 from the tax cut in 2003, according to Citizens for Tax Justice. But Americans making $1 million or more will receive $93,500 from the tax cut, according the Tax Policy Center.

Over the next four years, the bottom 60 percent of taxpayers will receive just 9 percent of all the tax cuts, while just the top one percent receives 39 percent of the tax cuts. The tax cut benefits flowing to the top 1% far outpace the 23% share of federal taxes they now pay.

The distribution of tax cuts do not get better with age. The tax cuts targeted at middle- and low-income families sunset, or disappear, after 2004. As a result, in 2006, 52 percent of the Bush tax cut goes to the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.

and also anyone knows:

The length and skew of the tax cut is probably the worst possible way to stimulate the economy. For tax cuts to work as an economic stimulus, they should immediately put money into the hands of those most likely to spend it: middle- and low-income families.

if you have better information and can show me how the tax cuts are going to benefit me and my household, then be my guest...

just don't put out numbers that mean nothing

Ok, by no single person's fault this thread is wandering outside the newly established forum rules.
