THE STENCHY CAT PRIMITIVE, #15 TOP PRIMITIVE OF 2009
Original message
Media largely Silent on Large Middle ClassTax Cuts Americans are Getting as we Approach Tax Day!
Because giving Democrats credit for anything good concerning taxes would go against their grain! So many are pocketing the tax cuts and are STFU. Odd or maybe not!
after which a bunch of stuff

2. As a Tax Accountant, it would be hard for me to understand why, unless you paid less in, claimed more deductions on your W-4, but it could be so many things...none of them having to do with taxes being higher, because they aren't.
As a tax accountant, franksolich is intensely curious as to why another tax accountant would have a tax lien on her property.

4. Also, the media is not writing about how Obama's policies have literally stopped inflation. This has allowed certain basic items to remain affordable....like you know, food, fuel, and important shit like that.
I'm going to write that Editor of the Economist and ask her why not? When one googles, there's not much there at all.
Really odd.

5. I just wrote to the Financial Times and The Economist and a few others about this lack of coverage. I only asked them why not a peep from our press
here at home, and gave them the details on why.
Guess we don't want to upset the TeaBaggers, but rubbing into their face the fact that the largest tax cut to the middle class is happening right today as we speak.
Couldn't have them all upset, now could we?

16. Thanks Florida, the Obama admin is really trying to help the middle class and poor get out of the bushcheney economic slide into the abyss.
Oh my.

My goodness, how freaking stupid is that comment?

I'm an accountant, but tax is not my forte. I'm fin analysis, cost accounting, etc. So, I may be wrong here, but didn't taxes for 2009 go largely unchanged? I know early in the year the average Joe got about $13 a paycheck more, but the tax tables didn't change, so Joe would have to pay that back. If I'm wrong, please correct me.
However, if I'm right, then Stenchy is a pretty piss-poor "tax accountant."
And impik sounds nothing more than 8 years old.

The DUmmies have discovered you can get an awesome refund by simply filing a fraudulent return.

What inflation was there under President Bush? We had high gas prices now and then and the media raised hell about it. Prices are creeping up to $3/gal and nary a peep from the media.

I'm wondering why someone who hates rich people as much as she does became an accountant.
Isn't one of an accountant's duties to ensure the client retains as much of their money as is possible within the law?
We should develop a DU posting history on this scrunt and mail it to her clients.

That's a good point, MSB. Somebody who loves government largesse as much as she does would want the fed and state coffers to be nicely filled. For her, for instance. So what if she would just forget to mention an obscure deduction or two? Also, she has stated a blase attitude toward the IRS in the past. This could lull a client into laxity about keeping records, receipts, etc. "What the hell, it's only the IRS, my own tax accountant said so."

Well, an accounting company with annual gross revenues of only $120K doesn't have many rich clients, or very many clients of any kind.

It makes you wonder if she is skimming from her clients, since she hates them so much.Wouldn't be the first time an accountant ripped off their client.

Personally, I think she's full of crap and is just a paid O shill. She gets her talking points everyday after Rahm and his cabal have their media mtg and makes the rounds to the different sites posting the day's propaganda. Besides, there's no way in hell she has this much time on her hands during tax season (speaking from husband's experience) . . .

Well, maybe she's not a very good one.

OK. In a normal scenario, I should be fine for this calendar year. Remember that obama's most damaging programs/penalties don't take effect until after the election.

Went in and signed my tax returns yesterday, no HOPE of getting any CHANGE back.
...but if they would let me/you use the new, improved Obama/DUmmie math I/we would be getting millions back.
