Class warfare doesn't work.....if it did, the R's would not have kicked butt in 2010 trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 19/09/2011 03:21:17 PM
Or elected GWB twice, or have an R Congress for 12 years, or have a majority of R Governors and state legislatures, etc.

Everyone "supports" raising taxes on other people, but it hasn't shown to be a vote motivator in the recent past.

Ok so increasing taxes on people making 1million+ is also NOT ok with Republicans Aisha - 18/09/2011 04:43:29 PM 1049 Views
You act surprised, this has been said since the beginning, openly and repeatedly Isaac - 18/09/2011 05:48:57 PM 478 Views

And with good reason Isaac - 18/09/2011 08:38:10 PM 572 Views
That's rather easy though, isn't it? Legolas - 18/09/2011 09:02:49 PM 611 Views

Many will find any pledge unreasonable. Joel - 19/09/2011 07:01:20 AM 522 Views
Too bad for them, any pledge stands or falls on its own merits just like in real life Isaac - 19/09/2011 08:35:13 PM 483 Views
If elected I pledge not to post on the RPMB. Joel - 20/09/2011 01:54:00 PM 648 Views
That didn't really make sense Isaac - 20/09/2011 07:26:40 PM 587 Views
Sure it does: Pledging to do what one wanted to do anyway is rhetoric, not principle. Joel - 20/09/2011 08:04:25 PM 615 Views
Now you're debating with the definition of the word Isaac - 20/09/2011 08:22:53 PM 584 Views
No, I accept the definition of the word, but reject cynical abuse of it. Joel - 21/09/2011 01:37:01 AM 648 Views
Could have done with out the kegger imagery But this just makes it your opinion Isaac - 21/09/2011 02:10:47 AM 557 Views
Sorry; I knew that one was a bit too graphic and did it anyway. Joel - 21/09/2011 05:34:45 AM 579 Views
There is a problem with compromise in this situation and lot of it the way it is being framed random thoughts - 19/09/2011 02:57:32 PM 589 Views
and if a republican becomes president, i'm sure all taxes will go up in 2013 moondog - 20/09/2011 04:39:21 PM 656 Views

Well, I'm glad they've at least raised the income range they were discussing. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 18/09/2011 06:10:57 PM 277 Views
not that it really matters Aisha - 18/09/2011 06:57:21 PM 626 Views
This really doesn't address what Buffet was talking about, but that's not a surprise either. Praziquantel - 18/09/2011 08:35:25 PM 432 Views

So you're solution is... do nothing? *NM* callandor1000 - 21/09/2011 03:39:06 AM 379 Views
Simple change the law so capital gains are considered income, that will increase taxes on the rich *NM* Roland00 - 19/09/2011 01:21:41 AM 246 Views
They are already. Praziquantel - 19/09/2011 02:42:08 AM 408 Views
Maybe I should be clearer Roland00 - 19/09/2011 02:59:34 AM 570 Views
I've long felt the capital gains rate has ruined public companies Tom - 19/09/2011 05:13:40 AM 471 Views
I agree with all that *NM* Roland00 - 19/09/2011 01:00:35 PM 373 Views

There should be a set tax percentage that every US citizen pays. *NM* heartbreak - 19/09/2011 01:25:13 PM 288 Views
+1 - a flat tax, with no or limited deductions is the way to go *NM* trzaska2000 - 19/09/2011 03:16:53 PM 232 Views

Why not a fixed wage for all US workers; then the problem solves itself. Joel - 20/09/2011 01:56:35 PM 440 Views
Wages are set by economic factors, not the government ßelals Girl - 20/09/2011 07:46:18 PM 403 Views

That works if you get rid of regressive taxes like the sales tax. Vivien - 21/09/2011 04:34:07 PM 453 Views
a lot of people don't seem to understand that sales tax is a regressive tax random thoughts - 21/09/2011 04:44:16 PM 511 Views
It doesn't have to be Isaac - 21/09/2011 07:45:31 PM 608 Views
Your solution is to tax people's savings? Tax "money storage", so that would be banks, right? Vivien - 21/09/2011 10:29:36 PM 583 Views
I don't recall saying it was my solution Isaac - 25/09/2011 05:01:56 PM 659 Views
