If tax cuts for the top 1% pass
   
I'm done. This is my line in the sand. When we didn't get single payer or at least a public option I was pissed but I still continued to support Obama and the Dems. If they can't stand up and fight for the people I can not stand and fight for them. I'm fed up.
What good has the Bush tax cuts done? If tax cuts for the rich creates jobs then where the **** are the jobs? I'm sick of all of the ****ing compromises, I'm sick of the caving in. I could care less if someone in the top 1% can not buy a new yacht when there are people who can not afford to eat. I don't care if the rich are a little less comfortable when people are out of work or afraid of losing their jobs.
How many jobs has the Bush tax cuts created in America? Go ahead I'll wait. Those tax cut has destroyed our economy and they are on the verge of destroying our country. Dems get your act together and fight for the people or the people will abandon you in 2012 in greater numbers.

It's a big thread with lots of DUmmies making empty threats of not supporting Obama or the Demonrats in 2012.

I wonder if the DUmmy realises that the top 1% of income earners account for 40% of all tax revenues. This ass-monkey probably doesn't pay ANY income taxes.

I know they just repeat what they read over and over on the island without thought but what logic is there in thinking that porkulis was great even though it was all debt yet letting people keep their own money is evil.

This poster has not a single clue. And asking for the single payer system or public option on top of it all .
Then goes on to say that the Bush tax cuts caused the recession? Wow, that's news to me DUmmie. You need to put down the bong and the cheetos and do some research. :mental: :censored:

Hey Dumbocrats, explain the logic to me:  If tax cuts for people who make less than $250,000 stimulate the economy, why don't tax cuts for people who make more than $250,000 stimulate the economy?  Hmmmm?

I thought Bush only gave tax cuts for the rich.....if that were true then they wouldn't have to do anything. Just let them expire.  :whistling:

You're a lying bag of shit. The Democrat Party could bugger your wife, steal your Coors Light and ruin your credit, and you'd still stroke the pipe and swallow the gravy. They do that anyway, except that you're probably a latent southside Irish fudge packer who drinks wine out of a box and doesn't have the credit to rent a ****ing coffee table from Aaron's.

Oh, and the Sox suck major ass, as does that shithole you call a ballpark at 35th and Shields. GO TWINS!!!!!  :bird:

I believe it would actually be a tax increase.
You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

Congrats, DUmmies--with the deficit even at half its current level, even if you increased the tax rate on those making $200K (Single, like me) or $250K (Married) to 100 percent, it wouldn't even come CLOSE to closing the deficit.

And remember that the top 10 percent (which actually starts out at around $114K) pays over 70 percent of the taxes, while making about 46 percent of the income.

Just a reminder for the DUmmies:

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
