If thats the way you want to try and make your money and by taking funds from people who were related to death squads in El Salvador, and if you lose it tough luck.
I don't like the death tax, but investment income is still income, taxed at a lower rate. But what Romney wants is to pay no tax.
I tell you what I think. Rich people were fine before the Bush tax, the economy was fine, investments were fine. The money looks better in my pocket than there's. And I need it more than they do. The middle class needs it more than they do.
If Romney and Ryan get elected they will throw the poor in the ditch and Granny is going to have to die in the hills like the cave man days cus they will cut Medicare
Ryan's primary idea to balance the budget is to cut social security and medicare. Did you know that most people, including me, now drawing social security will not draw out as much as they paid in? And if he gets his way, the next group of retirees will draw even less of what they paid in. And since there is an income cap on paying in, the poor and middle class will get soaked again.
Hopefully Mitt wins and his new side kick will find ways to make the government more efficient instead of raising taxes on anyone.
Are you starting to get the point? Because Franken has more:
“This is the most incomprehensible economic theory I’ve ever heard. And then, when it needed one more element to become absolutely dangerous, and Dick Cheney provided that. Cheney said, ‘Reagan proved that deficits don’t matter’. So Bush takes the biggest surplus in history and turns it into the biggest deficit in history, hands off a $1.2 trillion projected deficit to Obama, and an economy, here it is, I’ve done my job, we’re shedding 750,000 jobs a month.”
3 and 1/2 years later, and it's still Bush's fault. The irony!
I broke my arm............ and it was Bushes fault. He allowed ACME shoe lace company to make their product overseas.3 and 1/2 years later, and it's still Bush's fault. The irony!
So if you invest in stocks, you pay a 15% tax on a 5% investment return.I know, Obama should have fought the good fight and not let that tax cut for the wealthy 1% go on. Thats only costing us 700 billion dollars a year, heck, chump change. But.....he had another fight to deal with.....healthcare corps throwing grandma over the cliff.
Now, say you won a nice chunk of change in the lotto. Will you invest it, simply bank it, or hide it under that llose board under the carpet for safe keeping?
Here is my last word on it. The republicans think, and also want you to think that the 1% are the only people who invest and create jobs. Well, whats a 401K and other savings accounts do for the middle, lower middle class people? Does that not count as an investment? People also buy stocks and bonds. My father was a lower middle class guy, he bought stocks in his company. My wife has a 401K. Ya know, the wealthy can only buy so many Mercedes Benz. Oh, wait, would that perhaps be a Cadillac, naw.It's a preposterous argument that only the rich can invest and create jobs.
Look, if you cannot stay ion topic then it is uselss for me to try and help you.
The cost of food lunch program is miniscule as compared to the tax cut for the super wealthy.
Whats the cost of the deficit that Cheney said didn't matter? Whats the cost in terms of the trillions of dollars in debt interest wise every year Bush handed to the President? Could Obama simply stop that payment? Could he hgave walked out of Afganistan and Iraq and stopped the bleeding of our wallets?
Could Obama stop borrowing money from China and Russia? Who Ok'd borrowing money from communists to pay off the war debt and the other trillions of dollars that the tax cut for the rich cost us?
And your worried about a program for little kids to eat lunch. lol
Sounds to me like someone's "hope and change" sales pitch from 2008. Since all my change gone, all I have is hope right now!
What are you leaving out.Look, all I want to know is where are the jobs from the $1.74 trillion dollar tax break the 1% got since 2001? They bitch about Obama doing a 500 billion dollar recover fund which has helped. But 1.74 TRILLION DOLLARS!
That should have boosted the economy all by itself and has done nothing for jobs. So, where's the jobs from this trickle down, supply side economics?
The stock market is doing well. Fortune 500 companies are holding hundreds of billions ofdollars yet there is not much in the way of jobs being produced.
...and tell us about how well all the the trickle down stimulus is workin out.Look, all I want to know is where are the jobs from the $1.74 trillion dollar tax break the 1% got since 2001? They bitch about Obama doing a 500 billion dollar recover fund which has helped. But 1.74 TRILLION DOLLARS!
