The Democratic 'Tax Plan'

[Ishmael]

“Taxation: how the sheep are shorn”

"When a self-governing people confer upon their government the power to take from some and give to others, the process will not stop until the last bone of the last taxpayer is picked bare." (Kershner’s First Law) - Howard E. Kershner

"If the government is not raping your wallet, it's because you're filling out the paper work required to get the check paid for with the money provided from those whose wallet the government is raping, or they just haven't gotten around to you yet. - Ishmael

How about this?

That equals 'without the amt no one would pay taxes'?

 

[paganangel]

You've already claimed as much. And boasted about doing so. I can only hope your family is living "one pay check away from poverty" so I can hear you whine when that day comes to pass.

did you quote the wrong post?

 

[Ishmael]

did you quote the wrong post?

No.

Ishmael

 

[paganangel]

No, I say you have no clue because you don't know what AMT is, how it is calculated, what preference items are or what they have to do with AMT calculation, etc. How can you know you were affected by something when you don't know what it is?

accountant: damn!
me:what?
accountant: you're gonna be affected by the amt.
me: so?
accountant: why should they get you're money?

 

[paganangel]

No.

i don't see how your post is applicable to the quote.

No, not at all. Your grasp of economics is amply displayed in this thread.

then what is it i've ?"already stated as much" if not that you're unhinged?

Chey quoted your post, not me. I discounted you as ignorant without having to comment. We'll see if Chey can 'splain. I have no intentiion of even trying.

Yep, Congress is a collective idiot, and everyone in it follows the party line, kneejerk, lockstep and :avery:.

If the Bush tax cuts were such a great deal, they won't be expired. Even Congressional Democrats can figure that out.

Wrong. All they see is that there were no handouts attached. If government, that is, "THEY, The Democrats" aren't giving out money then "they" haven't served their constituency, so they will kill the tax cute NO MATTER WHAT and then argue that there is now money to hand out, because they won't go back to pre-tax cut revenue income rates, they'll assume the goodtimes will just keep rolling and there are progressive collectivist tax "experts" out there who will give them enough verbage to throw at us that they can claim justification for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor for votes and power. The majority of "them" feel they are there to do good things and restore balance, a balance that has never been...

Just like the story of Robin Hood that never was.

...and the two Camelots...






There are people who really don't see what the Democrat Party is up to, and a lot of it seems to be coming from the camp that says, "Awww, they're all alike, you can't tell one from the other."

Well, sorry. I'm the Village Idiot and even I can see the difference.

The answer was nailed long ago bro. Wanna track it backward or forward?

Do you want to start with de Tocqueville or Plato?

Plato had his head in the clouds...

But he wasn't trapped in that fucking cave.

Wrapped up like a duece,

Another runner in the night...

 

[Ishmael]

I can see clearly now

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

... the chain is gone...

mama, I'm cummin' home!

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

Then, would you get out of my light?





I need to see clearly too!

Just like the 'shadow and the flash' bro.

Yeah, but I don't bet on them.
