Wait, didn't Obama say this when he was campaigning??
It's not that he lied, the GOP wouldn't allow the extension to it, YET!
I am for conversation CRAZY, but your always want to be a shit head and blame the wrong people.
The Repukes in the house would not agree it it. So shove it.

"That means every American, including the wealthiest Americans, get a tax cut," he said. "It means that 98 percent of all Americans, and 97 percent of all small businesses won’t see their taxes go up a single dime."
Yes he did. But Liberals aren't known for their impeccable integrity now are they?

You guys are talking shit, if you want a serious conversation start with not lying. The rethugs blocked the 2% extension, go fuck yourselves!
Obamacare 2%
What?
how are people going to live who earn the national avg $26K
Individuals making that much money (since this is the amount for individuals, not households) will be just fine. You can live in just about any city for that amount. Get a roommate.
The payroll tax cut should be made permanent for incomes under $40k
And how do you propose that we fund social security and medicare then?
The payroll tax holiday was a stupid, pointless exercise that didn't do anything.

What would fund SSI then? You'd need to raise or eliminate the cap on earnings (or make a donut hole for the upper-middle class).
Otherwise, why not just eliminate the "tax"?
It was only meant to be a short-term stimulus. Unlike irresponsible Republicans, tax cuts can be temporary. Maybe they should always be?

I agree, but Obama said, anyone making under 250K, nothing changes, you wont feel a thing. he then said on a few occassions. "I repeat, if you make under 250K your taxes wont go up at all".
Romney was the guy that told the truth, and said he was going to cut out all of the breaks and cuts. To which Obama called him on, and said...
"So you're saying taxes will go up on everyone?" Romney thought a minute and said, "I guess that IS what I'm saying. "
To which Obama used as an opportunity to reiterate his stance that taxes wont go up on the middle class. Not one single dime.
This is going to be cute come 2014, and just wait until the mandate kicks in. It will be fireworks over Niagara falls.

That maybe true but the economy has had major inflation over the last 4 yrs especially on food and services, way over 2% a year. With inflation and now an additional 2-4% loss in pay people who should not be punished for the government propping up the society on behalf of the Banks and elites are now the fall guys.
It's awful.
Salaries have not moved and will not move, where is the 2% coming from ? Peoples Expenditure?
Make the payroll tax cut permanent for incomes under $40k

I'll understand it all right, but my fellow stupid Americans they aren't as bright as I am, they voted for Obama. Hell they aren't even as smart as you are. They are going to be all busted up about this come Friday.
I'll try to explain it to them, but I don't think they will listen.
Social security tax will go up from 4.2% to 6.2% on first $113,700 of income. However, there's no 2% obamacare tax. What will happen is that singles with income of 200Gs or more and marrieds with income of 250Gs or more will pay additional 3.8% tax on ivestment income.

Do you understand it was the House Republicans raising taxes on 77% of the country with this?

I think its obvious that barack was talking about income taxes, not payroll taxes. If "fellow stupid americans" didn't get it or didn't bother to research, that's on them, maybe they should watch less reality tv.

We would Love too, but the Liberal media is trying to realize a Life imitates Art with "Idiocracy" by only airing the worlds stupidest people on all of the learning channels.
There's nothing more annoying than some dumb redneck American correcting the tour guide at Pompeii with accurate information they learned from the Learning Channel.
Then they were bombarded by all of the "Check out my bad ass gun" shows, but after last month, they decided perhaps that isn't the best programming to brainwash the collective dolts with.

Also if the last 4 years are the same as the next 4yrs, he will preside over the worst legislate group in history.

They are up to something, be very weary. they will continue to force the government to stop funding the middle class and poor. They know this will create a massive world wide recession and they know the money will flow faster to the top 1% without unions standing in the way.
That's all they care about, corporate masters!

121212, you are arguing with a guy who has years of history here rarely of being really coherent.
He thinks his style of commenting based on feelings that even he has no logic to back is sort of like jazz. It's the empty spaces where logic should be behind what he says that makes it work for him.
He takes pride in this.
SOmetimes its just outright blatant trolling, especially with people that are going to respond to even the most insane things he says.
Hey, he's found a way to believe what he wants to believe while simultaneously knowing that it proves he's stupid or intellectually dishonest, but he uses this creativity and jazz shtick to avoid thinking too much about the stupid and dishonest part.
Anyway, point is, calm down dude.

I know he is a lunatic, he has no empathy, compassion, he is severely mentally challenged and delusional about reality. However, I will not allow his bullshit to go unchallenged.
His constant intellectual dishonesty shows a deep seated delusion he may not be aware of. He is off his trolley!

Nice try.
#1.) The "fiscal cliff" deal originated from the WhiteHouse and Senate. Both currently controlled by democrats.
#2.) In the house a majority of Democrats voted for the deal.
#3.) Majority of Republicans in the house voted AGAINST the bill.
Please play again.
Boehner represents only one half of the country that works and gets nothing from the government.
If he has his way, taxes will be zero.
That's how a republic is established.
Obama represents the other half that doesn't work and gets paid for not working.
If he has his way, taxes will be 100%
That's how Lenin and Castro built a community.

So you think in the USSR and Cuba, taxes were 100% and nobody worked?
Glad to see you understand history. You might want to actually learn what tax rates were in these regimes.
(morons confusing taxation for communism or socialism seems to be a recurring theme. It's like they don't understand what those economic systems even are)

No need for fact checking, everyone! Move along!
If you understand that the Republican's goal is to make government as small as possible, NOT to "balance the budget", their proposals all make complete sense.
These idiots would gladly accept a 100% reduction in revenue for a 50% reduction in spending.

Republicans don't want small government, they want government to be small when it does things they don't like, which doesn't really move the debt needle at all. If they wanted smaller government they would have done something about it when they had the power to do it.

They haven't had the power to do it. What they want is to end every non-defense program. They can't do that without popular support, which is why they're operating the way that they do:
- Get temporary tax cuts passed.
- Fight to make some or all of those cuts permanent.
- Force budget cuts to pay for the tax cuts.
- Insist that defense spending be protected.
- Add means testing to big social programs to turn people against them.
