Economists Predict Consequences of Bush Tax Cuts - Republicans Learn Nothing

Nope, see that's where your ideology goes off the rails. I don't believe I'm entitled to anything, certainly not an income. I gladly worked for my income...every penny I earned. I would rather do without than to have to rely on someone else to provide for me. Can you say the same thing?

 

Hahaahah.... No, he can't.

 

It would be helpful if you would cite your source for that little nugget. I don't know where you heard it, but if one takes the time to read the actual report from the Congressional Budget Office (PDF), they will see the following on page 10:

It seems that according to the CBO, extending the tax breaks for most Americans, but ending the tax breaks for the very richest (which is what the President has been proposing for some time now) would actually increase employment.

 

From your cited reference

Really? Revenues would be lower and outlays would be higher and you call that a plus?​

 

Your original point was not about revenues, nor about outlays. It was about projected employment figures and "the economy." I cited the CBO report which said that if the tax breaks for the wealthy were allowed to expire ("raise taxes") then both the GDP ("the economy") and employment figures should improve. This is directly contrary to your assertion, which you said was based on what the CBO predicted. Your attempt to divert the topic from your assertion is noted. Feel free to cite a reputable source which supports what you said in the post which I first quoted.

 

From your reference;
Extend Most Expiring Tax Provisions and Index the AMT for Inflation

Extend Most Expiring Tax Provisions—Except for the Lower Tax Rates on Income Above Certain Thresholds—and Index the AMT for Inflation

The last time i checked, 1.4% was larger than 1.3% and 1.8M was larger than 1.6M

 

That is not what you said in this post. You have yet to provide any support for your assertions there, and more desperate tap-dancing such as you've been doing in your last couple of posts in this thread is not going to change that.

 

I'm saying you THINK you were entitled to that enormous pay. IMO, you were severely overpaid.

 

How would you possibly know how much I made and why would you even post something so stupid?
See, it's this sort of post that causes folks to not take anything you regurgitate seriously.

 

I'll gladly answer....once you answer "yes" or "no" to the question I have asked you twice before.

But, to be clear, you say it's not a sense of entitlement, so much as a sense of earnings.

 

You have to realize that when a RW'ering is pinned down, their original point goes through an evolution. In fact, it is the only kind of evolution they believe in.

 

Why not people with an IQ above 100, they are certainly a minority, in fact, there are no Republicans that qualify. View attachment 1032

 

Typical Right-wing Christianity...

Pray do tell, what did you do to "earn" your income, what is your profession lil' davy?

 

You just insulted my granddaughter. BTW, she knows enough to not like Obama and her IQ is 145. Oh, and she is only 10.

 

Real IQ tests are conducted per age relativity, so not really. Basically, that just indicates she is more quick-witted than the average 10 year old. I was referring to adults.

Oh grandpa Dick! They don't even give IQ tests anymore. You must be from Africa because you are a-lion.

 

See lil joe moen's post...I think he's calling you a liar

 

OOP! Themistokles480 says you are a liar, my daughter says you are a liar, her school district says you are a liar, and even New York Daily News says you are a liar.

 

I think I've called him a liar several times, too. Put me on that list.
