General discussion of US politics

Throw out the do nothing Congress

Again these Turkeys continue to only do what they can for the rich,  it
is time for a tax cut for John Q. Public.  Most people pay more in payroll
taxes than any other tax.  Vote these guys out until we get some that will
cut this tax.

Tax cuts should come from a reduction in the Social Security tax.  Congress
has used this surplus for years to give the gigantic tax cuts to the Rich in
the Reagan era when they cut taxes from 70% to 28%.  So now as the Big Money
Republican Oil Barons keep socking it to middle class Americans at the gas
pumps,  we need to pay back some of our middle class workers by cutting the
Social Security tax in half.  We need to uncap the contribution from the
rich,  they have never paid their fair share for the benefits their rich
widows have taken out of the system forever.  It is these rich guys that
throw out their first wives,  and they live to be 100 on Social Security of
$16,000 per year,  then their second or third wives chow down on Social
Security as well as they live 50 years beyond their husband collecting for
their children and themselves as well.

It is time to put some of the general surplus back into the Social Security
program and then by cutting the rates in half,  the true cost to the worker
may be more equitable while the general surplus picks up the benefits for
the Rich guys widows,  the children and the disabled.    Afterall the Reagan
people used the Social Security money to finance the rich,  it is time to
give it back.  This indeed would be the type of tax cut for middle class
Americans that is long overdue.  Afterall it is the information provided by
the Greedy Republican websites (www.taxfoundation.org)  that lets a person
know that while the rich are now bringing home hundreds of millions,  75% of
Americans average only $20,000 in AGI in 1997.

    We gotta keep sending out all those welfare checks to all the liberals
    at the first of the month.

    Pointing out the other political parties’
    scandles makes you a loyalist. Making
    excuses for your own parties scandles
    makes you an idiot. Being disgusted with
    government dishonesty makes you an
    American. Failure to demand government
    adherence to Constitutional principles,
    dishoners your ancesters. Failure to
    defend youself makes you a Liberal.
    A Liberal that starts fighting back
    becomes a Conservative.

    Except that the rich pay more than anyone else. As a percentage of their
    income they pay more than anyone else. As a total dollar figure they pay
    more than anyone else. As a percentage of all of the taxes collected they
    pay more than anyone else. Try again.

    So how and why were they spending the surplus in the 1960s and 1970s? How
    and why were they spending the surplus in the 1930s and 1940s? Seems like
    Reagan didn’t have much affect for most of the times those surpluses were
    being raided….. You left out the fact that taxes actually paid in from the
    welathy INCREASED after the tax cuts were enacted……

    So because a product has become expensive, we need to cut taxes? You give a
    lot of credit to the oil barons and not to the sheiks that have raised the
    price of crude…….

    >  We need to uncap the contribution from the

    Lantz, when I retire I (and my employer) will have contributed nearly
    $450,000 to a plan that will give me at most $25,000 a year. Let’s ignore
    the interest and increased value I’d have received if I could have invested
    the money. To receive the principal back I will have to stay retired for
    almost 20 years, average life expectancy for someone my age after retirement
    is 6 years. What a trust…..

    You stated this nonsense before and have yet to document one example of
    this. Not one. Most marriages and divorces and remarriages happen at the
    lower end of the economic scale, especially someone depending on SS for
    retirement. Most wealthy people tend to have to write big checks to get
    ex-wives and lovers to go away which give all of those people and their
    widows incomes and property that is taxed to hell and back anyway. Try
    again.

    Again, buy a fact. You are using data assembled to prove one point to
    demonstrate something unrelated. Try again.

    When you show your ignorance about the burden of the tax % on the middle
    class,  who do you think misses that ignornace,  Myers???

    With inflation taxes almost always increase,  not only did Reagan give the
    tax breaks but he allowed the mergers and downwaging and allowed jobs to be
    sent overseas.  This created new wealth for the rich,  besides the tax
    bonanza.  This was the highest transfer of wealth from the middle class to
    the wealthy in the history of the world.

    Myers,  cut and paste the above as one of the lies that you never knew you
    told.  You will never work for the type of wages you now get for long.  You
    will never work long enough to contribute $450,000.  You will be fired
    several more times or downwaged and will be damn glad you have SS when you
    retire.  Some people may attain what you are planning,  but not you.

    Look it up, loon. The IRS has all of the data just waiting for you to take a
    look. Oh, yeah, that would spoil your ignorance. I’m not sure what
    "ingornance" is.

    Hmmm., but at the time inflation was 4% and if was inflation ALL of the
    taxes would have gone up 4% so the percentages would have stayed the same.
    You lose again, but you are getting farther away from the kewpie doll.

    So again, you don’t have a response to an analysis of the situation, because
    you have no analytical skills. I would have loved to negotiate a contract
    with you when you were a "CFO". I could have retired on the change you would
    have given on the purchase of a postage stamp from a $1 bill. I’ve been laid
    off once in 16 years Lantz, and got a 30% raise for it. If I get laid off
    several more times, I WILL be rich.

    Well, I don’t give you credit for pure anything. But ignorance IS one thing
    that I DO give you credit for having an abundance of. You do consider
    yourself an "Induhvidual" don’t you?

    The only volumes that you are familiar with is the empty space betwixt your
