Because Spidey says that's socialism.If that's true, why don't we just "fix" the capital gains tax rate and be done with it?
Because Spidey says that's socialism.
Obama isn't engaging in class warfare. He is reacting to it. The class warfare is quite real and has been in full force for at least the last 30 years. One only needs to look at American wealth distribution DATA to understand who's winning and who's losing.Anybody who doesn't think Obama is engaging in class warfare, just look at this thread. It shows both classes bitterly fighting each other. But the big point was to point out obama's lies.
Hey, I know exactly what you mean. I've been a Playboy photographer for some 20 years. My bill rate is $10K per shoot - you do the math.... I've been a network architect for some 20 years, my bill rate is 250/hr - you do the math.
What on earth are you talking about? My wages are directly impacted by obama's plans since he's also seeking to take away my mortgage and charity deductions. I've been a network architect for some 20 years, my bill rate is 250/hr - you do the math.
First, obviously you have no idea what socialism is. Don't use words you don't understand because when you use them out of context you look like an idiot. Or perhaps you are just an idiot. And Obama's base is doesn't have problems with him because of his liberal policies, they have problems with him because he has too few liberal policies. The man is as far right as the Republican party was in 1995. Unfortunately the Republicans have gone so far right they see moderates as socialism and they see the far right as RINOs.
Because it's a bogus argument. To the extent that tax rates discourage any forms of income -- largely a specious argument itself until we reach truly punitive tax rates -- the fact remains that We, the People have national bills to pay. The money to pay those bills has to come from somewhere. There's no reason passive income like investments should be given the sweetheart treatment compared to hard-working earned income.No. Raising capgains just discourages investment. Why would I do dividend re-investment if it was taxed as income? I'd just take the money as "income" instead of re-investing it. Why can't liberals understand this very simple fact?
Because if you want your money to make more money, you will have to reinvest it, regardless of tax rates. Why can't conservatives understand this very simple fact?No. Raising capgains just discourages investment. Why would I do dividend re-investment if it was taxed as income? I'd just take the money as "income" instead of re-investing it. Why can't liberals understand this very simple fact?
Why on earth do you still have a mortgage making that kind of money?
No. Raising capgains just discourages investment. Why would I do dividend re-investment if it was taxed as income? I'd just take the money as "income" instead of re-investing it. Why can't liberals understand this very simple fact?
I don't understand this point. It makes about as much sense as saying "Ausm is a fat out of shape blob yet he still watches pro football!"
You don't have to be rich to be against socialism. In fact, in the former soviet nations, it was the poorest of the poor whom were most adamantly opposed to communism. It was they whom understood the price of liberals' policies was their own lives. Therefore I would fully expect the poor and unemployed today to be the most stringent opponents of Obama's policies. And in fact we are beginning to see that as a collapse of Obama's base.
Lol, yeah you're going to earn .0001% keeping it in your savings account just to avoid paying slightly higher taxes. Shut the fuck up already.
Of course they aren't. Obama - YOU LIE! When the associated depressed calls Obama on his lies, you know he's in deep trouble. This story is going all over the press, Obama lies, taxes rise.

It seems Geithner doesn't know what an average is, then again a tax cheat is either really good or really poor at "math".
No, Obama is saying that it should never happen. Even if it happens in 1 out of 1000 cases, that is too many. What happens in the average case has no bearing on his statement.

Why on earth do you still have a mortgage making that kind of money?
No, my logic is to base public policy on preventing illogical outliers. See the difference?So your logic is to base public policy on outliers rather than what actually happens normally. That's plain idiotic.

And yet you defend the class you are not a part of..go figure.
Well people have to hire him first. Just because you bill at $250/hour doesnt mean anything without a job. I mean who would hire Spidey..if he comes off this loony on a forum imagine in real life.
Lulz, I've been at my current consulting company for 7 years. I love this little fantasy you guys have thinking I don't have a full time job. Not only is it full time, it's salary non-exempt which means I get juicy overtime as well.
