Your taxes are going up; A LOT!!.

Nobody has to do anything for that to happen. They happen by Congress doing nothing. The only way to stop the increase is for Congress to act.

It's more than just your income tax rising. You are forewarned!!!

If I remember correctly these tax cuts were put in place to stimulate jobs and growth. In fact I believe they were called Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. They were intended to be temporary.

But we all know the jobs never came......

Hum lets see... unemployment rate from 2001 - 2007 hovered right around 4.8%. That's about 7 years straight. Bet there's a lot of folks would like to see that number back again.

Nothing and I mean nothing Obama has done can be considered a success unless you are Obama... the one who is systematically and on purpose destroying our private sector economy. In that regard I guess he is a success.

It's a neat bait and switch. Run the country into bankruptcy on purpose and then claim the only way out is to tax the hell out of everyone. VAT, Cap-n-tax and more are coming. Anyone really think that will get employers hiring again??? Let me ask that again. Anyone really think that will get employers hiring again???

That will put the final nail in our private sector economy.... which is exactly what he wants to do.

Here's a dirty little secret for all you liberals. Private sector jobs fuel our economy, not the government. Government consumes, it doesn't produce anything.

Ok, I read your "fact-filled, 'unbiased' " link that you posted to back up your theories on the ineffectiveness of the tax cuts that Bush implemented, just before congress was taken over by democrats, who immediately attempted to go on a spending spree. Now it's your turn to check out some facts from someplace other than your usual sources of 'talking points'.
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Rep...-Bush-Tax-Cuts
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Rep...nent-Extension

Read, consider, analyze and explain. I also realize there were too many fiscally irresponsible Republicans trying to slice off their piece of the 'cash cow' . As expected, revenues increased but unfortunately, spending increased more. Nothing anybody does will do any good if the reckless, out-of-control spending doesn't stop. Government's job is to protect our borders, our rights and our freedom. It is NOT their job to decide how much of the fruits of our labors we get to keep. If everyone is receiving Government money, where does the government get the money to hand out? Obama's stash? Soros? China? The Senate? The House?

As error prone the presentation of your link is, you ignore the thrust of this thread and that is the TAX INCREASE that ALL will feel. The LOWEST tax rate increases by 5%....as much as you folks tried to make it a tax cut on only the rich, it obviously was not and now EVERYONE WILL PAY.

The death tax returns, the marriage penalty tax comes back and that is just the start.

If you read RICHIELION's link, you would know that these "increases" are simply the beginning...then we get into the real stuff....the taxes associated with the health care bill.

Now, your party tells you that the Bush tax cuts were only for the rich....read the link that RICHIE supplied, and you will find that is not and has never been the case.

Now, your party tells you that the Bush tax cuts did nothing for the economy....but you read the unemployment rates for the period and compare them to the present and what do you say ? Number of jobs created ? Gee...unemployment at 4.5....duh !!

Now, your party tells you that Bush rose the deficit, AND HE DID, but this President in a short time makes him look like a total amateur.

Bottom line is it really doesn't matter. Obama could announce tomorrow that he was the anti-christ and as long as he wasn't Bush or a Conservative not one Liberal would give a whit. Liberals hate Bush and they hate Conservatism even more. Blind to the obvious truth is a phenomenon I'll really never understand but it seems to exists today in spades.

You can ask one simple question a million times to a Liberal and they will ignore it every time.

NAME ONE SOCIETY IN HISTORY THAT EVER TAXED AND SPENT ITSELF BACK INTO PROSPERITY?

It's really incredible DK; just the other day Pelosi said that Unemployment Benefits are the best creator of new jobs. In an economic vacuum, I guess, you can say putting money in the hands of the unemployed allows them to buy things which creates need and generates business, but to promote this as a desirable solution is naive and, well just plain nuts.

The great Ronald Reagan taught us, and most people alive today, that cutting taxes generates growth and generates jobs and in turn generates greater government revenue, because of the increased business activity.

I believe that the present regime knows this and the destruction of our economy and our way of life is being done on purpose and to an end.

just the other day Pelosi said that Unemployment Benefits are the best creator of new jobs.

The scary thing is, many believe it to be true just because she said it. After all the government never lies to us now do they... oh unless you are Bush.

Her statement is so outlandish it defies reality. Yet they are the one's running our country and Liberals will defend them blindly and unequivocally. It's almost embarrassing.

Unemployment insurance payments for more than six months will increase unemployment, always has always will.

Higher taxes reduces incentive to invest which reduces jobs, always has always will.

When Governments take from productive people it reduces production, always has always will.

Succinct and eloquent

Indeed... for those of us who understand that.

And your heritage links are unbaised? The tax cuts which were supposed to spur growth and create jobs didn't. And they still are not creating any jobs so what is there purpose now?

I could ask the same about any society who tax cut itself back into prosperity? Regan had to increase taxes......least you forget.

So tell me, how will massive tax increases get small business hiring again?

BTW, your history is a bit off...least you forget.

The question is how will keeping these massive tax cuts get small business hiring again?
