So you don't have a problem with paying a greater percentage of your income than someoen who makes a lot more money than you?

You're way too caught up in percentages. What was the sum total paid? And what was the average cost of services received in return?...

Personally I have no problem with the tax rates being different. Without seeing their tax returns, I can guarantee that Romney, Buffett, Gates and the Koch Brothers all wrote far bigger checks to the IRS being taxed at 15% than I did at 27%.

I do have a problem with General Electric paying nothing, though. Especially when small and medium business are being taxed... The US has one of the highest corporate income tax rates in the world. Unless you're friends with the President, evidently.

So when Obama took office, he somehow managed to carve out a special exemption for GE? And right under the noses of the tax lawmakers?

You think he has a plan? I thought you were one of those Mensa Brainiacs.

I think he does. it's been on the table for awhile now.

As for the Mensa comment, it's nice that you think that...

If he has a plan or a clue when the hell is he going to show America after some 18 months of campaigning?

Where have you been?

You must notice all of the sudden he hasn't spent a lot of time on the greens or on vacation.

It's campaign season; would you expect him to not be on the trail?

The Republicans will let anyone up there won't they.

To quote Clint "These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don't give a #### about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of ... They go on and on with all this bullshit about 'sanctity' — don't give me that sanctity crap! Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want."

Wonder how that would have gone over.

do you really want to go there?
when the rats are trotting out Eva Longoria a B list actress whose 15 minutes of fame have since past and is best known for being in a bad comedy series and married and divorced to an NBA player.

not to mention the career college student going to a 50k a year private school and wanting her birth control paid for.
I am sure she will create a stampede to the voting booth.

Its the fact that you have to constantly remind yourself of it to others that is a wee bit strange.

Obama's plan has been on the table for a while? Funny he doesn't mention it much at all except his plan is working but what is it?

The only plan I've seen is Keynesian spending which hasn't ever been proven workable except in class.

And who feels the affect more, those guys at 15% or you at 27%? As I've said before, anyone who does not have a problem with that is either a liar or a fool.

 

[777 fixer]

So he or Obama pay 15% on a gazillion bucks 'dividend' income and I pay 25 to 28 % on earned income....explain the difference.

I'll ask you the same question I asked esolen. Who do you think feels the affect more? Them at 15% or you at 25-28%?

It would be strange... If it had ever actually happened...

Screw GE not paying any taxes, here's the real meat and potatoes !

"Obama Jobs Council Packed With Outsourcing Companies!"

"If Romney really wanted a juicy example of outsourcing, he would have to look no further than the president's jobs council."

Now why would a guy tell you he's all about "Job Creation", then hire people like Jeffrey Immelt ?

Maybe Barrack's all about "Job Creation" everywhere in the world, except here !

Yes I do want to go there. The last I checked the democrats are not on a kick about marriage being for life or being between a man and a woman like the republicans are.

Not sure if your aware of it or not but, there are a lot worse problems facing this country today than whether or not Bob and Steve can get hitched or not !

How's Bob and Steve going to be able to afford a house or essentials, without a job ?

Don't tell me that, tell the Republicans. They're the ones making such a big deal about it.

I got no problem with it. If you do maybe you need to champion tax code change.

You never answered the question, who feels the affect more? You at 25-28% or them at 15%?
