Better a small crash now than a big huge one if we keep spending like our mad man president wants. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24207739 The small USA crash was an option in 2000-2001. A huge USA crash was an option in 2008. The only option now is complete planet-wide economic implosion. Tell me what this tastes like... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 26000330 Germany 12/07/2012 06:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is funny how they talk about taxing the upper echelons. This kind of strategy never works, because the high ups don't use paychecks much. They don't want to own the money, they want to control it. And in order to control it you don't need a paycheck. On another note, in any case, there are so many loop holes in the tax system, that they want even flinch when they up the tax rate. In the end it will only hit the Middleman, and after that yourself. It has always been like that. End rant bb |

Rush brought up a great point: Why don't the Democrats ever bring up a "wealth tax"? Why is it always "income" tax? Because they are all trust fund and capital gains bastards, that's why.

(OP) User ID: 1481493 12/07/2012 07:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honestly, Republicans are also going about things in the wrong way. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4428411 Both Rs and Ds spent us into oblivion. Now, neither party can stomach facing up to the consequences and dealing with cuts and raised taxes. Why do we need such a bloated federal government? Imagine the billions of dollars that could be saved each year by trimming the fat? That is the blame that Democrats share in this. Republicans? They refuse to allow taxes to go up, even if it is temporary, because it offends their base. Honestly, the only way we are going to get out of this is by cutting spending by 80% along with raising taxes in the short term. Republicans would rather spill the blood of the middle class than allow a tax hike on the top 2%, shows where the real loyalty lies. Not that Democrats are any better, mind you, they spent us into this hole we are in. You are an economic illiterate who has obviously been "educated" by CBS/ABC/NBC. Republicans don't want to raise taxes for 2 reasons: 1) It's immoral (income taxation is theft and they know it) 2) It's counter productive (revenues go down when taxes go up) Tell me what this tastes like... |

User ID: 1344660 United States 12/17/2012 04:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.politico.com] Quoting: Carshy McCarsh Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said Wednesday that the Obama administration was prepared to dive off the fiscal cliff if Republicans do not agree to raise tax rates on upper income brackets. Geithner was asked on CNBC: "When it comes to raising taxes on the wealthy, those making more than $250,000 — if Republicans do not agree to that, is the administration prepared to go over the fiscal cliff?" "Oh, absolutely," Geithner replied. "There's no prospect in an agreement that doesn't involve the rates going up on the top 2 percent of the wealthiest." "The size of the problem in some sense is so large it can't be solved without rates going up," Geithner said about the country's fiscal challenges. "I think there's a broad recognition of that reality now." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bring it on...
