Mine didn't even cover a car payment.

THAT is what is wrong with the tax code...and that is what needs to be changed.

No, what is wrong with the tax coder is 47% of our population has no tax bill every year. Then to top it off they get "refunds" that amount to more than they paid in. What is it with liberals and their belief that other people's money belongs to them?

1. Koch brother buys old photo of Billy the Kid
   
for 2.8 million. Could have opened a new gas station and put 20 people to work instead.

How many gas stations could we have built with all the trips the 0bama's have taken?
How many jobs could be created with all the money Soros gives to smear republicans?

3. But face it...THAT doesn't give them as much pleasure as that stupid picture.
   
and it TRULY is all about them. Unfortunately.

Silly me, I think that 2.8 million is their money and they can blow it all on smokes and booze for all I care.

2. To be fair they would buy all that stuff even without their tax cuts.
   
I don't think I heard any of the Rich people actually saying they need tax cuts, its the Repukes who keep saying it over and over. I don't think most rich people would even blink an eye if their tax cuts went away.

If the rich feel they are under taxed they can refuse any deductions or write a check above and beyond to the IRS at any time.

The root of the problem is jealousy plain and simple. They want to get even with those who have more than they do, and if it brings down the whole country then who cares, the rich got soaked.

Well, perhaps this is an issue the unappellated eohippus should discuss with Pedro Picasso, the "Atman" primitive.

How many people make a living when someone buys a house? a yacht? a plane?

And stop being so damn jealous of people who have more than you!

They don't give a flying you know what about folks who are in those industries, all they care about is soaking the rich.
They will gladly live in filth and have nothing as long as they can drag down the rich with them.
That's the difference between us and them, we see a successful person and we draw inspiration from that person, they view that person with disgust and want to knock them down.

I know you don`t believe or even grasp this DUmbasses but whoever gives you your living has almost complete control over your life.
You think a government will be generous and benign when they have no need of your productivity like a business owner does?
Google Stalin and Mao and see how that worked out.

Great reply Freeper! H5 for that!

And what taxes were those Dummy? Ya all bitched and moaned about the fed taxes not going up. So what taxes went up? State taxes? Local taxes? Where do you live Dummy? Blue state or red state? Why did they go up, Dummy? Was it to help some rich guy buy a yacht or was it to dole out some money to some welfare parasite? Here's a clue Dummy. Get a skill that is in demand, do your job better than anyone else, and well paying employment will not be a problem.

You remind me of a guy that posted there back during the Bush years, that supposedly had a masters in Engineering, lived in Texas and had been unemployed in the horrible Bush economy for 5 years. Posted by the name of MRH or MRHE. I thought at the time that someone that can't get a job in a 5 percent unemployment with a masters in Engineering was a total loser. Like you.

You lie Dummy... just like he did. Just accept the fact that you are a slave to the government largesse and for a monthly dole you have sold your soul.

I prefer to make my own way.

Koch provides some of the highest paying jobs in Wichita.  The family is a major benefactor to the arts, charities, and education in the Wichita area.  Wichita is pretty happy having them here, their business and the family.

Uhh..... in order to receive a cut, you have to be in a tax bracket where you actually have to pay.  You've made it clear that you're dirt por, ergo you pay nothing, ergo there's no tax payment of which to receive a cut.

Now shut up.

They are big on the sin of greed but seem to be unaware of avarice.

Ha hahaha, and it's not TRULY all about you?  Seriously, you want us to believe you are fighting for "the little people"?

Horse with no Brain is just so downtrodden and victimized, it just isn't fair!!!

Those nasty rich Rethuglicans, even the handicapped ones make her feel so inferior.

Especially when they cut her off in parking lots and steal her spots. IT AIN'T FAIR I'M TELLIN' YA !!!

[WinOne4TheGipper]

And I suppose that all of those luxury items just fell from the sky? 

Wait.  This a DUmmie I'm talking to.  I need to spell it out.  Everytime a rich person buys a yacht they're putting money into the pockets of the people who build these luxury items.  Everytime we provide a DUmmy with a welfare check, we're putting money into the pockets of Mexican drug runners.  You tell me which will help the economy.

[NHSparky]

Hey, DUmmies--I don't make anywhere near $250K.  Had the "Bush tax cuts for the wealthy" not been extended last year, I would have paid enough in additional federal taxes to heat, cool, and power my home for a year--about $3500.

Chew on that one.

I'm still stuck on the profound stupidity of this post.  Aside from Perky's question about which taxes went up, what is Autumn imagining here? 

Dear Autumn,
Please write a check to the US Treasury in the amount of $3,500.  This is necessary in order to purchase a new TV for J. Ellingsworth Farnsdale, Greenwich, CT.  His butler has requested one.   
Love,

The IRS

That's exactly the problem with their Soviet workers-and-peasants collective thinking.  Clinton's luxury tax on yachts failed dismally to raise revenue, but it did devastate the high-end boat-building business (And employment in it) for years.  They apparently learned absolutely nothing from that experience.
