Taxed Enough Already?

 No, not me.
 I won't be satisfied until those crooks get at least 50% of my salary in taxes, which shouldn't be too much longer at the rate they are going!!!!  :banghead: LOL

I certainly hope that all the people who voted for the big CHANGE in goverment will be happy with the change they have left in their pockets, if any, after paying ALL the new proposed taxes.....

The problem is it is incremental.

It will creep up upon us all slowly!

I just want to chime in. You may think the current president is screwing you over but you need to look back at the last 8 years. A president who sent our Military to a foreign country to invade and spent money like it was going out of style!!!!!!! If you are a Conservative then need to conserve money not spend.  When Busch took office our national debt was 5.727 Trillion dollars. When he left it was 10.7 Trillion!!! That is a 5 trillion dollar increase in 8 years and none of that money was put in any budget.It was all spent after the budget was voted.
 In selling his $1.6 trillion tax cut-half of which went to the wealthiest 1% of Americans-Bush promised in 2001 that it would produce 800,000 new jobs. In fact, the economy has lost 2.7 million jobs since Bush took office, again, the worst economic performance since the Great Depression.
 The effects of Bush's tax cut on the deficit and debt are exactly what we would expect having seen Reagan's results-only worse. Bush inherited from Clinton a fiscal surplus of $127 billion. In his first year he turned that into a deficit of $158 billion. In his second year, he will ran a deficit of over $400 billion-a swing to the worse of over $600 billion in only two years.

Now Bush has sold us on still another megadose of this same Supply Side voodoo. Two thirds of his new $350 billion tax cut will go to the top 10% of income earners.
With those tax cuts the burden of the taxes where put on to us middle class!!!!! Our current President was given a big old dish of chicken shit and is trying to make chicken soup out of it. This country voted for change and change is hard for people cause it is different. People dont like change but that is the only consist in life.

You had four fathers...............:confused: :yikes:

[griffsdad]

I feel deprived. I only had one father.

Wolfpack then you need to look into the taxes for the county and city where they are being billed. If you dont fall into there area then you should not have to pay the tax. Alot of towns and county's are stretching there "areas" to increase there revenue.

I wonder if he got 4 allowances......... now I'm really bummed....

Wow.  I see you conviennently left out the impact of 9/11 to America and the Bush years.  9/11 had a huge impact on the economy lest we forget!  (Airlines going out of business).  Obviously you disagree with Iraq and that's certainly your right.  But let's not forget the other part of the war with the Taliban after 9/11 and the ongoing battle with Al Qaeda forces that is ongoing today.  Security for America does cost money.  And last time I checked Congress approved all of those expenditures.

I try to stay away from polictical opinions on a camping board but I couldn't help myself on this one.  Whew!  Now I need to go camping to stimulate the economy!!

Yeah well, if you think this has been "going to war," you might want to look at war history, like WWII  for example.

Chasing a bunch of goat herders around a desert with 100 billion dollars worth of gear, and getting your asses handed to you in spite of all your money, technology, and man-power isn't a war.  Where do you think the goat herders are getting the RPG's, the radios, the cell phones, the frequencies and cell towers on which to use things like cell phones or Sat. phones, the machine guns and ammo, and the crap to make roadside bombs? They're not growing it, and they sure as hell aren't making any of it.  Remember how Germany and Japan were making their own......everything?  You see the goat herders with factories and munitions plants?

Remember back to 1941-1945 when we conquered two seperate and militarily & technologically advanced countries.....and we did it starting from nothing, and we did it in 4 years.  It was done without satallites, night vision, droans, laser guided heat seaking sh!t, advanced computer systems, and everything else.  We went out, hunted down the enemy, cut off their ability to supply themselves with fuel, ammo and food, and killed them.

I'm not anti-troops, I'm anti this bullsh!t made up excuse to wade through someone else's country for no REAL reason, and hang out there, at the expense of our service men and women.......and the economy of this country.

This isn't a war against terrorism.  It's a circle jerk intent on lining the pockets of Bush-n-Family Friends.  The terrorist is Bush.

You wanna keep this country "safe"......then quit allowing people the freedom to come here.  Oh wait, that would involve racial profiling....

We've been taxed too much for decades. Certainly by the Federal government. They are engaged in activities they have no business providing.

Everyone in elected office should practice 'fiduciary responsibility' (higher level of care that one would use with own money). These officials should 'preach' this and practice in day to day government activities.

We've allowed government to expand beyond what I could ever imagine.

I'm wondering why more folks aren't outraged yet.

It's about spending. As in spending too much.

I always go back to a local door to door recycling program which costs twice as much per ton to collect door to door than does refuse ($200/ton versus $100/ton). The city sells the 'saved' landfill space for $16/ton. In the current budget short fall, mandatory furlough days for city employees but don't touch the expensive twice a week garbage pickup or the every 2 week recycle pick up!

Obviously, taxes are not high enough. Some of these posts clearly demonstrate the lack of tax dollars going to the educational system in their communities!:D

Any change is better than the last 8 years! A few even got rich, but I and many, many more only got poorer; and not just from taxes!:mad:

BTW, people love to complain about the government and talk about how much better we woiuld be without government.  Just think we could be in great shape like those exemplary refuges from government, Afghanistan and Somali; they haven't had any government in over 20 years! Wouldn't that be great!       :confused:
