This administration is allowing tax cuts to expire and new taxes to be levied beginning nine weeks from now. Better start preparing for Taxmageddon

So does this mean your throwing in the towel on Romney's presidential run?

Oh no WW, that would be you, because he's a Mormon.:thumbsdown

No, I'm still in full support and happen to be appreciating the national wake-up call that Benghazi and such stories as this are bringing to life about our current president. His lack of leadership continues to cost him and America dearly.

Even if Romney wins, Obama will be President until late January. He has vowed to veto any extension unless it also includes tax increases. So itbis safe to say taxes will go up on January 1st.

As we all learned, over the past four years, legislation can retroactively fix it! Only the next president will include congress in such decisions rather than ram it through by executive order. Even democrats understand the principal of over-taxation:

This mechanic must be making some serious bank, or have a shit load of kids to have a tax change of $7k after the bush tax cuts expire, the bulk of the "bush cuts" are they only cut the top rate by 3% (250k+ in annual income) and changed the child deduction credit from $500 to $1,000 on the earned income side, there were some other capital gains and estate tax changes as well, but they don't affect most people as there are initial exemptions into the millions for estate and capital gains surrounding your primary residence gains (where the majority of people's capital gains are made). At least from what i remember about the tax cuts.


I don't think they should let the tax cuts expire, i still think they take too many taxes, I'm just saying most people won't be seeing an overnight $7,000 tax hike

Doc, my question was based on logical thought process in response to your post. Your post implies that you do not think Romney will win and that we should all prepare for heavier taxes due to Obama not extending tax cuts when he wins. As far as Mitt being a mormon, I dont think he is a mormon, I think he is a politician pretending to be a mormon. I think he's as crooked a son of a bitch as Obama and all the rest of these dudley do right mother fuckers that are on an ego fueled quest for power and wealth, pretty simple. What right minded individual would want to be president?

Your flawed ability at logic and rational thought process reminds me of my friend "Church got Ronnie's" thought process, he stops by on Saturdays after the Jehovah witness's to share the good word. Yesterday he told me that he is under constant demonic attack at night because he is a good christian and the demons don't like that. I am no specialist on religion and the like but I know a thing or two about sales. "Church got Ronnie's" pitch is off and quite honestly is hurting his sales quota more than helping it:D My logic dictates that if I join him in "his version" of a walk with christ I to will come under constant demonic attack, that does not sound all that good to me. After talking with "Church got Ronnie" for a while yesterday I came to the conclusion that he needs to have faith in his faith, seems to me if he is suseptable to demonic attack its because he is not as solid in his faith as he may think he is. I advised him to pray about it and let God handle the demons:thumbsup

Whats your take?

It's not easy to cover religious bias with words and stories, is it WW?

The Kenyan in office will still be in office on January 1, 2013 despite the outcome of the election. Just thought you ought to know that. That's when Taxmageddon hits you and I.

Oh I dunno, guess it comes easy to me:D However I can only imagine how difficult it is to have sound opinions when your information obtained from fractured media and religious outlets :p

Mr WW it does seem to come easy to you, JUMPING to CONCLUSIONS ! I read a fact about the position of this administration and previous tax cuts along with the time line of when the consequences would arrive at our doors. THAT is all of the points being offered ! NOTHING MORE ! I have a 'left leaning friend' who does what you did here, you take 1 and add 1 and then conclude that you now have the sum of 5 by 'left wing math'. Please come back to the real points being discussed here, your "mis-quoting", and "mis-understanding" of most everything from the "right wing side" point of view makes you look "less than able" to discuss any topics with clarity.

I think you may have me mistaken with someone who gives a shit;) I am not trying to sway your opinion, it really does not matter to me. I get it, life kicked you in the nuts and your pissed, it happens. Furthermore I am actually going to vote for the mormon in hopes he wins and I dont have to listen to you guys piss and moan about Obama and how he is the antichrist n shit for the next 4 years. You see Geo, it does not matter which way this deal goes but as it sits we have a bunch of bitter old white guys throwing a grand mal level temper tantrum that needs to stop.

Furthermore I am in favor of revoking the right to vote once people reach the age of retirement, you had your run, let it go:D

SURE, "anger, tantrums, avoiding the facts, and ONCE AGAIN, jumping to your own ridiculous conclusions" have you back to where you and I started. You seem to be "avoiding the facts" of this (and most) threads here. You don't know anything about me, yet you "spout off like an idiot" with worthless vile totally incorrect "personal opinions" about me and my conditions. (and EVERYONE just LIKE me) You go off on a totally asinine direction of "swaying opinons", and "you acuse others of TANTRUMS", and YOU are the 'cool head' in the room that's going to stop all the "grand mal tantrums" around here ? Look in the mirror !

Let me ask you this Geo, are you better off today than when Obama took office?

Exactly what facts do you think that I am avoiding here, all I have seen here are opinions! Doc puts up some cute little picture deal about "Joe the mechanic" from ohio and his tax burden and your calling that fact? Lets see that fuckers tax returns and see how this really pencils out. You want to talk facts? post some up, cite the reference and what ever it is you think it is that we are talking about here and I'd be more than happy to continue this.

I blame Your generation for the mess this country is in, your folks handed you the golden goose and you guys fucked it all up. Yeah thats right this shit went down on your watch over the last 30 years and now my generation is left picking up the pieces, Thanks Geo appreciate the good work:thumbsup

Look, after your stupid tirades in post #12 why should I TRY to speak with you at all ? I am not your Congressman (dumbass) so why do you blame this all on me or people my age ? Maybe because you don't know how to fix it either. I got to be 'my age' by working like a motherfucker', being 'smart' and paying my taxes, every f-ing year ! YOU have had the VOTE for a few years, why haven't YOU fixed what you say I f-ed up already ??? Did you FIX ANYTHING or just elect the current President, one who seems to not know what is going on around him EVERY DAY, or that is at least what HE SAYS. Please feel free to BLAME ME because you are a dumbass, and don't understand how the US economy works. I too do not trust our congress, but I feel we must start somewhere to turn around what damage has been done. My 'reference is my life of paying taxes' for a long time here and my control of my personal business'. The facts were as stated back in the beginning and you continue to TWIST what has actually gone on here. I don't know what your age or generation is, but I can tell you that "I did not add any debt to this economy, anywhere ! I did not vote for 'Hope and Change', because I always CREATE MY OWN HOPE AND CHANGE, but I need an American federal government to be 'pro commerce and not socialistic' while I CREATE MY OWN PROGRESS. Well, I hope YOUR GENERATION can put down their cellphones and pick up some tools and make their own lives better, just as I did. I am sure they will be able to do just that once we get the 'socialist Obama' out of the White House, and the congress gets scared enough to act. The more I read your words, the more I feel that you will NEVER UNDERSTAND what is really going on, so "good luck to you sir, in your mental/opinion state, you will need it !".

With the obvious absence of religious bias, I believe this sums your posts up quite well. :D

By the way, did you do your research on the coming changes in our taxation as the thread referenced? You WILL be effected, I guarantee.

I am not sure why you should try to speak to me at all, that is for you to figure out. I suspected you were not my congressman but with the anonymity of the internet n all, I thank you for confirming my suspicions. You know I may have over spoken by blaming it all on people your age, I retract that and point the blame directly on you. You keep mentioning these facts, are you referring to the Docs cute little photo deal? if not please state these facts and provide links to back them up. It good to talk about your feelings and I to feel that I may never understand exactly what you think is going on here. In the words of Rodney King, "Cant we all just get along?"

Rodney King is a great speaker to rely on, as long as you were not married to him. HA HA (domestic violence is not funny!) Post #1 had a statement in black and white, it also had a statement in red. Then it offered a 'link' to an example of some guy in America. I feel the statement in black and white was a fact, and the statement in red was also a fact. The offered 'link' may or maynot be a fact, but it is JUST AN OFFERED EXAMPLE as to how Americans could be effected by "the statement in black and the statement in red. I took this as to "two warnings about ACTUAL upcoming tax hikes" with a general 'link' example added. You, on the other hand went off into outer space with your 'personal BS opinion' with no logical facts, direction or point. You further brought up all kinds of other unlelated BS and tried to put it all together as some kind of 'POV'. (with no point) Look I now see exactly what your opinion is worth around here. You think you are a HOT SHIT BOAT GUY, but you don't know a f-ing thing about the value of truth, life, freedom, true choice, paying your own way, VOTING WITH KNOWLEDGE, and understanding the larger picture. Thank you so much for this 'colletive' of exchanged ideas. I'll put our exchange with all my other prayers for our young people, so that they may see your foolish lies and errors and hopefully rise above them. I feel that there is always time to help you 'save you from yourself' but you really need to get your head out of your ass first. MIRACLES DO HAPPEN, I HOPE WE CAN START HERE WITH YOU !

View attachment 231109

You do know that the highest income tax rate prior to 1964 was 91%, don't you?

Kinda dulls your "even democrats" statement. Any numb nut can tell that's a bit high! Seems that the red and blue sides were both leaving the rate high, but it took a democrat to drop it by 20%.

Sorry WW, due to a lack of substance, I seldom read the content of your posts and when you poo-pooed increased taxes on Americans, I realized your personal wealth over-rides any possible wisdom you may have acquired over the years.

So let me get this straight, the link you were thinking was fact, may or may not have been? You stste you "feel" these statements were fact, WTF does that mean and how does what you feel add creditability to a statement? I have no idea what a "HOT SHIT BOAT GUY" is but I can assure you that is not the case. I enjoy a bit of boating but its not my life nor something I invest to much of myself into. Boating is a nice way to spend some time and relax but thats about it for me. I see that you blur your facts with feelings quite easily so I am not gonna pay to much into what you "feel" I may or may not know about truth, life, freedom, true choice, paying your own way, voting with knowledge, and understanding the bigger picture. I thank you for your prayers but I would "feel" much better if you just prayed for both of us to have continued good health:thumbsup

I just bought her a new car so she is fairly happy.

The facts are,

1) If you stopped all discretionary spending, America would not run a balanced budget.

2) The economy is growing at approximately 400 billion a year while we run deficits in excess of 1,000 billion, also known as a trillion. It is more likely that the growth rate will change than it is likely the spending will contract.

3) In order to balance the budget going forward, taxes will probably have to go up on all people from the the bottom to the top to include the middle class and those making most of their money in capital gains. Likewise, spending will probably have to go dramatically down to include cuts not only to discretionary spending but to social security, medicaire, medicaide, farm subsidies, education grants, defense, student loans and every sacred golden cow that exists in every congressional district.

4) Neither party can get elected in America, nor can any politician get elected if they tell the objective truth. The result of this is that balancing the budget becomes increasingly difficult each year.

5) The result is that we have a "Politics & Government" section where people hurl insults at poor Rodney King, God rest his soul.

4) Neither party can get elected in America, nor can any politician get elected if they tell the objective truth. The result of this is that balancing the budget becomes increasingly difficult each year.

5) The result is that we have a "Politics & Government" section where people hurl insults at poor Rodney King, God rest his soul.


Speak the truth brotha! :thumbsup :D

I 'feel' the statements are fact because I have READ about the subject and fact checked the info. I agreed with the info, but had no backround knowledge of the link. I now understand why you BLAME EVERYONE ELSE for all the problems around you, you just don't understand what is going on around you. I used the term "I feel ", because at the time I felt it was inappropriate for me to say "read up on this subject before you open your big mouth you dumbazz", but I may have been wrong. Maybe check with a few sources other than MSNBC, before you come on here and question what is being posted, because right now you are clueless as to the actual facts. This 'Bush tax death' has been a interview topic on Cspan 3 times in the past 2 months, and it's all over the internet for everyone to 'look at, question, and UNDERSTAND'. I'm talking about the FIRST Rodney King, not the one here !

I've got no problem with his soul, but when he was on this planet he was always in trouble. He had a 'rap sheet' before his 'car chase and beating', and even with all the 'windfall cash' he could not stay out of trouble. Drugs, weed, girlfriend beatings and wife beatings (couple of domestic/violence arrests) along with other minor civil and motor vehicle citations. Then he asks "Can't we all just get along ?" I can, but he never could, and all the cops knew it. I am NOT REFERING to RODNEY KING the member on this site, but rather the "folk hero" who is no longer with us !!!

I just bought her a new car so she is fairly happy.

The facts are,

1) If you stopped all discretionary spending, America would not run a balanced budget.

2) The economy is growing at approximately 400 billion a year while we run deficits in excess of 1,000 billion, also known as a trillion. It is more likely that the growth rate will change than it is likely the spending will contract.

3) In order to balance the budget going forward, taxes will probably have to go up on all people from the the bottom to the top to include the middle class and those making most of their money in capital gains. Likewise, spending will probably have to go dramatically down to include cuts not only to discretionary spending but to social security, medicaire, medicaide, farm subsidies, education grants, defense, student loans and every sacred golden cow that exists in every congressional district.

I see the good Lord has given you a brain Rodney. :thumbsup

BTW Doc, that stuff about my friend "Church got Ronnie" that I posted up early in this thread really happened yesterday, no kidding. You ever hear of stuff like that? kinda threw me for a loop to say the least.

Yes it is still real today. Have friends who took missionary trips to Africa where black magic is heavily practiced. Demon possessions and all. Some crazy stories of what is seen.

I prefer to open with a personal attack and then go straight to mocking the opposing viewpoint with photochops:thumbsup

X26!!!

It's as good a system as any, and avoids all the annoying civility that proceeds the eventual deterioration.

Is the name calling really called for? The original post was a cute little pic with no links to sources of fact based information, just a statement by the original poster. I dont blame everyone Geo, I am just blaming you now. I dont know how you did it but I know you did, actually a pretty impressive feat for one man to pull off:thumbsup I am sure there is a book deal out there for you if you pursued that avenue. So with that said, lets talk about Romney's cocaine and booze fueled party night pictured below, Its must be true as we can see here in the photo its quite clear what is going on. Come on now Geo, you know that pic is funny, its filled with irony and satire that even you must be able to appreciate on some level. Lighten up bud, were all in this together.

Sources? Sources? We don't need no stinking sources? :D
Taxmageddon is a one-year $494 billion tax increase slated to strike the economy on January 1, 2013. Taxmageddon is made up of several expiring tax policies and the beginning of some major tax increases from Obamacare.

Hey WW, if these prove to be to easy reading for you, I can provide hundreds more that may better suit your request. Just let me know. :D
