Middle Class Worker: Tax Cut Impasse an Insult

Stuck in a stalemate, President Barack Obama and his Republican rivals in the House are slugging it out in Washington rather than reaching for a holiday season accord to prevent payroll taxes from going up on 160 million workers. (Dec. 21)

It took Congress 2 seconds to vote to take our rights away with the new National Defense Authorization Act. But they can't decide on the payroll tax? I say we hang those traitors in Washington. No more sign toting, no ones listening. We need a civil war NOW!

In the 1950s the highest tax rate was 88% and the economy grew at 4% Ronald MacDonald Reagan lowered it to 28% and the economy grew at 2.5% so where was the Trickle? Ronnie also signed the Law that led to the S and L debacle did the morons on the right think we Forgot?

@tixmastr God you are stupid, "they were gone before President Obama arrived" I acknowledged it started in 2007, DUH!. And it you really what to know (i.e the truth) how the Dem's started killing jobs from 2007 to now. If you can read, read this 2009 Wall Street Journal article. Google: "Mandating Unemployment

Congress prepares to kill more jobs".

@tixmastr Bwah ha ha ha, you tried to make a funny. I'll bet you have to call and remind you're loony friends that CNN and MSNBC are even on. At least if you do remind them there may actually be an audience of 5 or 6 people total that watch CNN & MSNBC.

And you have been "amusing" from the start. Your ignorance makes me laugh.

@tixmastr such a brilliant reply...

[RobertWWilliams]

No. Here's what I think is an insult. Obama p*ssing on me daily and telling me it's raining...

@tixmastr

it the currency for one thing not tax cuts but tax cuts everywhere federal and state

with substantial deregulation would help but not solve the problem

Would the "sub prime" crisis have happened if the American economy was at the hight of its power?. Over a thirty five year period the 'factory muscle' of America has been put into China and other countries. I blame both Democrats and Republicans. But I don't blame the Constitution. I blame its corrupt, untalented, and cowardly rotten apples. And then I blame the trained seal candidates Mostly I blame "Media" for hiding the truth from the people; causing the nation to act based on lies.

@tixmastr (apparently your only two brain cells have a failure to communicate) The financial crisis hit in 2007 DUH! During Bush DUH! Thanks to the ranking minority member on the Financial Services Committee BARNEY FRANK failing to take action as requested by the republican. How is then after the Bush cuts there was 52 months of economic growth? What else happened in 2007? Answer: Democrats have House and Senate, DUH! Hope facts don't confuse them two brain cells too much.

@tixmastr "So where are the jobs" Bwah ha ha ha, ask Obozo and his kill business economics. Ask Barney Frank who famously said ''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis" while the republicans tried to warn them 2003 to 2005 of impending financial crash of 2007. FYI the financial crisis happended because of Dem's like Barney Frank and Maxine Waters who said: “We do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac and particularly Fannie Mae"
