Maybe you should try educating yourself about the difference between marginal and average tax rates.

Well at least he doesn't get his information from crackpot survivalist websites. Got to give credit where credit is due.

i like how Obama is always chanting for people to acheive the american dream. But once you hit he's like give me half of your shit and let me give it to the poor.

What are you talking about?

Even in the 93-01 era, average tax rate for the top quintile was still only ~27%





Just be happy that, as I mentioned before, even Democrats have observed that lower tax rates can still return the same tax revenue as % of GDP. Be glad Reagan's legacy continues to keep top marginal tax rates below 40%





And here's a good cartoon to emphasize how silly some people are:


Even W's marginal tax rate was higher than what his dad raised it to.


The Laffer Curve doesn't assume you can indefinitely lower the marginal rate, so until there is solid science and experimentation to determine the optimal rate for revenue and economic growth, it's all just speculation. (Why 35%? Why not 28%? How about the effects of 40%? What about 37%?) But risking a fiscal cliff over a few percent is silly - hopefully they come to a compromise soon. Like 10/15/25/30/35/37.5, whatever... I'm more concerned about the government's inability to make a decision than someone paying a few percent more on income beyond $388,350. Of course, for the people at the top 1%, they obviously may care more about the latter then the former.


The middle class? Why are they buying into the bullshit about Mitt paying taxes at a lower rate than them? Median household income for a family of 4 is $50k, but check out a typical average tax rate for double that...




Both sides have skewed the truth so much and played on people's emotions and concerns for their wallets instead of just acting like adults and being rational.

Remember that time you were unsure about how you make yourself seem uneducated? Refer to post #199 in this thread for an example.

LaPierre and crew must get down on their knees and thank god every single day that Obama is president, and even more so that he got re-elected. Seriously, he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to their organization. He's the big black boogeyman that's got every paranoid chuckle-fuck out on BFE scared to death, and making the gun & ammo manufactureres money hand over fist.

Paranoia is business, and business is good.

QFT

The only thing Obama has done with regards to gun control is relax it. The "Obama is going to take away your guns" fear-mongering wasn't started by anything Obama actually said or did, it was started by right-wingers and gun & ammo manufacturers. And they're laughing all the way to the bank, with your money.

Idiots.

Virgina, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island have seen the positivity of change. Florida is undecided LOL

I went to that site, saw the ads. This is seriously hilarious. Tinfoilhatsville or what.

Yeah I was looking at that stuff too. I need to figure out a way to separate the RWNJs from their money. This is a gold mine!



I'm going to sell them cat shit: The only fertilizer you'll ever need after the collapse. More valuable than gold!

billary isn't stupid. maybe she doesn't like guns or something, but she must realize that confiscation would send shit flying. that would be Waco, Texas on a national scale.

I think this whole discussion says way more about the modern republican party than anyone on the left. They've got you guys so scared, so paranoid, that hours after Obama won the election ammo prices jumped, everyone is freaking out about their guns, stockpiling and hiding in a bunker somewhere. The only people seriously talking about taking away guns are on the right. They've got the gun owners paranoid and afraid, right where they'd like them. It's almost like the republicans have investments in weapons manufacturers..
