Key Democrat backs keeping tax cuts for rich

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100721/pl_nm/us_taxes_conr...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A fiscally conservative Democrat who chairs the U.S. Senate's budget committee on Wednesday said he supports extending all of the tax cuts that expire this year, including for the wealthy.
"The general rule of thumb would be you'd not want to do tax changes, tax increases ... until the recovery is on more solid ground," Senator Kent Conrad said in an interview with reporters outside the Senate chambers, adding he did not believe the recovery has come yet.

Conrad's comments are sympathetic with Republican arguments against raising taxes amid a fledgling economic recovery. They frame a debate gaining steam over whether stimulus to bolster the economy's recovery, or deficit reduction, should be the top policy priority.

1. How much more proof do they need that they do not work ??

Obama and the Democrats already extended them for two years. They should have been repealed in January 2009. They have only put us further into debt and have created a system whereby the wealthy bribe the rest of America to give them what they ask for or else...Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

We need to take our government and our free enterprise system back from these crooks. They are in control of everything. Including our military and our Supreme Court and the Executive Branch and Congress. They own it all. We are slaves to their demands.

We need to take those chains off our backs and start swinging them around our heads at a high rate of speed, screaming, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" The working man is getting screwed.

Oh my again.

3. That would be pissing money down a rathole 

Tax cuts for working people will be spent; they will be pumped right back into the economy.

Tax cuts for the rich will just go straight into their fat bank accounts, IRA's and 401 K's and sit there, doing nothing to help anybody but themselves.

Spent on what?

If rich people don't invest, there's nothing to be made that one can spend money for.

Duh.

4. What's the dime's worth of difference between the Democrats and the Republicans again?

Because when Democrats say shit like this I can't see any difference.

5. And we must remember, this is one of the men who insisted on the Cat Food Commission.

He and Judd Gregg were adamant about it and when the Senate, correctly, defeated the bill to create it, Obama yielded to pressure from these 2 and created it by executive order. We can afford to extend the Bush tax cuts but not to feed our seniors.

He was also one of those instrumental in killing the public option-one of Baucus' hand picked gang of six thugs.
