News flash: Congressional Republicans want to raise your taxes. ( no typo ... )

[directfiesta]

Yes, they now want to raise the taxes ... on the ... lower ... and middle class....

No more issue with new revenues .... since it will not touch their friends ( Tea Baggers are another issue, but so dumb they wont even see it ... yah!!!! )

WASHINGTON ? News flash: Congressional Republicans want to raise your taxes.

Impossible, right? GOP lawmakers are so virulently anti-tax, surely they will fight to prevent a payroll tax increase on virtually every wage-earner starting Jan. 1, right?

Apparently not.

Many of the same Republicans who fought hammer-and-tong to keep the George W. Bush-era income tax cuts from expiring on schedule are now saying a different "temporary" tax cut should end as planned. By their own definition, that amounts to a tax increase.

The tax break extension they oppose is sought by President Barack Obama. Unlike proposed changes in the income tax, this policy helps the 46 percent of all Americans who owe no federal income taxes but who pay a "payroll tax" on practically every dime they earn.

There are other differences as well, and Republicans say their stand is consistent with their goal of long-term tax policies that will spur employment and lend greater certainty to the economy.

"It's always a net positive to let taxpayers keep more of what they earn," says Rep. Jeb Hensarling, "but not all tax relief is created equal for the purposes of helping to get the economy moving again." The Texas lawmaker is on the House GOP leadership team.

The debate is likely to boil up in coming weeks as a special bipartisan committee seeks big deficit reductions and weighs which tax cuts are sacrosanct.

At issue is a tax that the vast majority of workers pay, but many don't recognize because they don't read, or don't understand their pay stubs. Workers normally pay 6.2 percent of their wages toward a tax designated for Social Security. Their employer pays an equal amount, for a total of 12.4 percent per worker.

Basically, the party of the "NO" are voting to raise taxes .. because Obama wants to keep them low ...
This shit is so funny .....

[iamtam]

Um, where is the statement from the Tea Party you seem to be quoting? Did you read the article you posted? The only entity that went on record saying we should raise the taxes is the CBO. They don't have any party affiliation

MSNBC, a real news source, LMAO

And for someone that's always correcting my spelling, Really?

[V_RocKs]

Congress is a business. As a business you don't tell your top level management to take a pay cut. You demand your employees to do so as a loyalty pledge to the company.

So... Are YOU a good American?

Happy to see that you are fine and not outraged by a tax hike

NewsFlash - The Republicans and Democrats are both a bunch of paid off crooks who dont give a shit about the people they represent.

[Brujah]

Republicans say that the payroll tax cuts should expire? I guess less taxes aren't needed to stimulate the economy.

Newt Gingrich favors extending the tax cuts.
Romney prefers the tax cut extend to the employer.

its the truth you know the game obama wants it they are against. If Obama said tomorrow Im taking taxes down to zero and estate tax will be negative we will give you money. They would fight him. If you know your history, mandated health insurance was the republican to counter to the clinton's healthcare plan. Then it was fine, now its job killing treason. lol

Same goes with the war issues. Both sides flip flop on killing innocent women and children and funding terrorists. parties.

[tony286]

I found you a quote :
"Rep. David Camp (R-Mich.), chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said he also opposed the 12-month tax cut because it would cost the government about $120 billion next year if it were renewed."

Irrelevant. Your country is toast. Everyone in power bickers and bitches like twelve year old girls getting their first periods. Na, na - this is what I'm gonna do! Wah, wah! You can't do that!

Make me! No, YOU make ME! Fuck you! The world's largest superpower has been reduced to adolescent girls arguing over a boy. Not having a pissing match with other countries - just ragging each other.

The world has no respect for the United States anymore. You are fat, insolent children who cry amongst yourselves because your mommy took away your favourite toy.

You cannot repair the damage that has been done. Beyond your military, you have no chance of being a great nation again. Ever. (And I'm giving your military the benefit of the doubt - after Afghanistan and Iraq - well...) You no longer manufacture anything - and if you DO happen to build something the world wants, you contract construction out to China, Taiwan, or Korea.

As much as I love America, its going to go down in history as the shortest lived superpower ever. Bitch if you want, but 100 years of domination is a blip in history. Jesus Fucking Christ - you couldn't even control Afghanistan or Iraq. The greatest super-power the world has ever known should have shut down those pathetic joke countries in a week.

But no...

Get your shit together or fail - and I KNOW you ain't getting your shit together. You're going to continue to fight and bicker amongst yourselves until you become irrelevant. You might already be there.

The rest of the world isn't going to stand around and wait for you fix your problems. You're already done. Done and gone. Sorry. Dynasties come and go. You're gone.

I've always wanted to move to the States, but I can't think one single place in your country I would not be terrified of moving to. Maybe Vegas... Vegas sounds like it still may be fun.

You're too bust fighting amongst yourselves to fix your own fucking problems. Its absolutely disgusting. America is NOT a world leader, its a collection of pissy litte cry-babies.

Fuck you all. You cannot do ANYTHING to influence ANYONE on the planet anymore.

I guess it comes down to this: Blow us all up, or just shut your mouths and fuck off. Your choice.

I'm going to toss this in as a bonus for the eight people at GFY who can actually read:

Big shit disturbance over President Obama buying a Canadian built bus or two.


There's two of 'em in the U.S. owned fleet (Bus shell made in Quebec - interior and security measures fitted in Tennessee under the watchful eyes of every single security firm in your country) - and your GOP candidate will get the other one - once they decide on candidate who is not 100% batshit crazy. Maybe the GOP bus won't have bullet-proof glass. I hear Obama has a sense of humour... That would be funny.

Then again, I doubt that the GOP candidate will take advantage of the Canadian built U.S. owned bus fleet. No, he (or she) will hire a private company that rents out Canadian made buses...

You do understand that the United States and Canada are the world's largest trading partners? There is nothing that you - or any insane government official - can say that will change that, right? Insulting each other is NOT a step forward.

No-one seems to have mentioned that Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, and John McCain (all completely bat-shit insane idiots) are using buses made by the same - gloriously Canadian, gloriously Québécois, company that built the bus that your commie president is farting around in.

I'm Canadian. I love the United States of America. Unfortunately the people in charge of country are either criminals, or pathetic jokes.

Get your shit together. Neither party gives a fuck about what you think - or what happens to you.

P.S. THAT was a long post. You should have banned me when I asked you to.

So where does it say there's going to be a tax hike? The article you posted is full of conjecture

did you read ????

The GOP, knowned as the ' no new revenues ' , that opposed closing loopholes and ending Bush tax cuts ( for the rich ) are opposing the extention of the payroll tax cut .. which , according to them, is the same as a tax increase ... Christ, they were blabbing that all over Washington days after days for a full month ...

Alzheimer issue Vendzilla ?

Conclusion : if GOP vote against that extension , government will take MORE money out of the worker`s pockets .. ( that`s tea party language enough for you to understand ? )

[PornoMonster]

If we are pay less in Social Security tax right now, wont this increase the problem down the road???

[DaddyHalbucks]

It's almost fun to watch the second rate foreigners, statists, and momma's basement philosophers brazenly distort the facts, slam our country, and gloat about the decline of the USA.

Then again, we could fix it all in 2012 and vote out Obama and the two hundred Obamas in Congress.

I don't know the odds of such a turnaround, but the citizens I know are very very pissed off at Washington DC right now.

Just like when ending the bush tax cuts is raising taxes killing the payroll tax cut is the samething. But its on the middle class so fuck them right.
Barry tried to work with them but you got a senate minority leader saying his only job is to make barry a one term president. The problem is and why i wont be voting in the next election is barry wanted to win thier love so everything is fucked up half measures that werent going to get republican approval. Anyway. Vend is you like i can get you 5 more versions of that article from different news sources if you like. Your buddy wont like the payroll tax cut go past jan 1 they dont give a shit about u.

[tony286]

Sorry typing on a phone edit of the end
Vend if you like i can get you 5 more versions of that article from different news sources. Your buddies wont let the payroll tax cut go past jan 1 they dont give a shit . And will kill anything that might grow the economy before the next election.

[My Pimp]

daddyhalbucks towing the party line like a good boy as always.

I'm not surprised. Anything Obama wants, the Republicans automatically are against, knee-jerk sociopaths to the core....

He should be able to use that against them somehow, no?
