22 Ways to tell if you're a good Democrat. ( Archived) (32)

That's pretty much the standard line around here. They don't know why they vote the way they vote, other than it's a genetic thing. I've heard that so many times I

YOU mean.......puppets?

lemmings maybe? lol~

Tax Policy Center of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution has analyzed these tax-cut measures. The Tax Policy Center has found:

* Some 54 percent of the tax cuts from go to households with incomes of more than $1 million a year, the top 0.2 percent of households. Another 43 percent of the tax-cut benefits will go to the 3.5 percent of households with incomes between $200,000 and $1 million. Thus, 97 percent of the tax cuts from these two provisions will go to the 3.7 percent of households with incomes over $200,000.

* That leaves only 3 percent of the tax-cut benefits for the 96 percent of U.S. households with incomes below $200,000. That 3 percent of the tax cuts will go almost entirely to households in the $100,000-$200,000 range. Essentially none of the benefits will flow to families with incomes under $100,000



I congratulate you because based on your posts you must be earning a minimum of $500,000 per year.
The only way Republicans can get elected is to convince the people that they are screwing that it is in their best interest to be screwed. It's amazing how many people vote against their interests.

I take it you believe in trickle down (or Voodoo as Papa Bush called it) Economics. If you can just manage to allow the super wealthy to hold on to more of their money they will use their savings to hire more illegals to mow their lawns and hopefully trim their "BUSHES"

Almost all of the comments you made in your original post on this thread don't express my views and I consider myself a Liberal Democrat.
I think you would have a much harder time disputing my characterization of "a good republican"

I would prefer leaving politics off this site but when I read posts like yours they're hard to ignore.

Do we toss in the earned income tax credit anywhere. Receiving money back one didn't pay in the first place?

I don't make anywhere near that. I just happen to believe that the only person that can make my life better is me. The government doesn't solve problems, it only creates them. I would imagine that quite a few of those millionaires that are getting the tax breaks are also able to hire people like you and me because of those tax breaks. If people would start taking responsibility for their lives and stop looking at government to fix every little thing, perhaps this country could once again become what it should be.

So, receiving help from the government is bad, unless it it for rich business owners?

I don't think we can put welfare and other "government assistance" programs into the same category as tax breaks.
