I have a friend who just loves to whine and complain about Socialist Obama. He is petrified President Obama is destroying America. (He watches way too much Glenn Beck). He says 51% of Americans pay no income taxes and that infuriates him too. He believes Romney will save us from doom and gloom and miraculously restore our economy placing all unemployed men and women into good paying jobs...yes my friend is a Teapublican and is working day and night to get more of his kind elected to Congress.
What he doesn't see is Congress has a 8 to 10% approval rating and alot of that is because of the do-nothing-never- ever- compromise teabaggers... He thinks America placed them thar teabaggers in Congress and we WANT MORE OF THEM!!
Ya know what Buddy, it is because of YOUR party the middle class is not thriving. It is because of YOUR party corporations out source once good paying American jobs so the corps can reap the benefits of employing slave labor, HUGE PROFITS...It's YOUR party that balks at raising the minimum wage, you stomp on the middle class and working poor so more and more can be given to the 1%!!
You say you care about the unfair subsidies given to big oil etc...you say you care about the unfair tax code, but you never show support to Democrats when they want to move forward and fix these problems! You are ALL frauds! You stick by the GOP who are the huge spenders, you stick by the GOP who have no plans except for the old failed trickle down economics! You say YOUR party does put forth plans to cut spending, but those cuts are ALWAYS cuts to hurt the middle class and working poor....NEVER do you propose cuts to our ballooning out of control Defense spending...frauds all of you..
Where have the good paying jobs gone? You want to cut teachers, policemen, firefighters, you hate union workers, but these are the good paying jobs! The men who build roads and bridges so you can get to YOUR good paying job, these you hate and do not want to fund. How do you expect to collect income taxes from families living in poverty? You do NOTHING to lift them out of poverty. You cut funding for education, for job training....your party caused this recession, your party put those people in poverty, so now what are you gonna do about it besides whine and complain and work your ass off to get Romney elected?
My friend is one of the 1%, I am convinced of it...

Yesterday, I was able to see Virgil for the first time in just about six
months. I hadn’t told him I was coming, for two reasons. First, when I

Why is it the republicans are the ones not willing to compromise.
Isn't it Harry that refuses to bring any republican job bills to a vote. Isn't it Harry that refused to allow discussion on Obamacare. Isn't it Harry that refuses to discuss extending the Bush tax cuts and thereby raising taxes for the middle class.
Look to the leftist party if you need to blame someone.
My old high school buddy and Jesus freak Eric stopped posting on my Facebook wall all his shit about Reagan and conservatism after I refuted them all and made him look like an idiot.
I have a Jesus freak brother and told him to stop preaching to me on my page. I had to unfriend him, but added him back after a few weeks. He doesn't bother me much anymore though...
Republican jobs bills are a joke, not worth the time and energy to vote on them, when they are finally ready to work with Reid and Dems and meet them half way, maybe then...
Obama said he would veto a bill that extends tax cuts to the wealthy, so it's not Harry who is to blame, the GOP needs to face reality, the tax cuts were meant to expire in ten years, if the GOP still needs to pay back their donors they can do it with their own money, NOT OURS!!
Isn't it Harry that refuses to bring any republican job bills to a vote.
Tax cuts for the wealthy who hide their money from the 15% investment taxes while people who earn a hourly salary pay upwards of 30%+ are NOT JOBS BILLS
Clinton proved that when he raised the taxes on the upper brackets and the economy created 22.7 MILLION jobs in eight years,
Bush the stupid and the asshat reich wingers in congress and their job totals after eight years the nation actually gained a net 1.08 million jobs but because there were gains in government jobs (small government be damned!) the private sector actually lost 653,000 jobs during that period,
Oops talking point destroyed again ... ;)
So what actually WORKS from an actual historical perspective????
Cutting taxes on the wealthy who offshore jobs all the while hiding their money in Swiss Bank accounts and tax havens like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands (like willard does, BTW);
OR
like the Clenis did, cut taxes on the uber tax avoiding wealthy and helping the economic engine of the US economy, the middle class like Clinton did and President Obama and congressional Democratic Party members wants to do.
Isn't it Harry that refused to allow discussion on Obamacare
Ummmm, skippy, the actual discussion did happen, and Harry Reid wasn't part of it.
Remember the Supreme Court had their say, and ......
discussion OVER son.
Unless your a reich wing hack with no real substance but tired old already repudiated right wing RNC daily talking point to push, that is.
Isn't it Harry that refuses to discuss extending the Bush tax cuts and thereby raising taxes for the middle class.
Um scud-nuts, Harry spoke, and the senate PASSED a middle class tax cut keeping a tax cut for 100% of tax payers up to $250,000, all of them, even the crybaby uber wealthy who want to enjoy all the country has to offer while avoiding militayr service abnd taxes expecting the middle class and poor to carry their burden.
He ain't preventing it from passing,
The bohner of the house and his childish band of miscreants and teatards are though.
Do try to find a few RNC daily talking points that in some way align with actual facts if you can.
EPIC FAIL from skud-puppy as usual.
thank you clif, I appreciate you doing the heavy lifting for me :)
Let's look at some real numbers. The Tax Foundation has a tax calculator that compares republican and Democratic tax plans.
For a married couple with two children taking the standard deduction, here is how much more they will pay in taxes based on their gross income:
$300,000 or less -- $0
$400,000 -- $3356
$500,000 -- $11,230
$1,000,000 -- $37,115
Hardly a crushing blow to the middle class given that families with about six times the average income still will not pay any more taxes with the Democratic plan, and that assumes a $300,000 income is considered middle class.
And if someone with a million dollar income can't pay an addition 4% in taxes, they are the screw ups, not the tax plan.
The congress does plenty but unlike Clinton,Obama has no people skills to reach across the aisle so instead like everything else he whines about he blames he congress but it's really him because mama Valerie won't let him out of her site long enough to stand on his own. and actually be the president and do his job.
How immature to keep saying the president isn't reaching across the isle!! What do those teapublicans want, a handholding, head stroking, soft music, wine and cheese, a blow job....give me a fuckin break....
I think what Lisa is trying say is that the republican-controlled house is busy passing a shitload of symbolic, unrealistic, political, uncompromising hardball tax breaks labelled as jobs bills and the democrats aren't stupid enough to go along with any of it. I get crap from Bilbray every week in the form of a public document pushing some tax haven or another. For pity sake, he's still lamenting the rejection of the Ryan Path to Austerity budget. They are still passing bills to repeal the PPACA. They're just pissing on the public interest to win votes from FOX News viewers. Believe me, they don't care if you live or die.
Although they usually do respond to enough massaging, money, sex, etc. I don't think the democrats are prepared to compete with ALEC in those areas.
I think it's time to call the bluff of Lieberman and the plutocrats and just let the Bush tax cuts die. Then the republicans would be forced to oppose new legislation to cut taxes on the middle class. As far as budgets go. WASF
Obama has no people skills
Says the right wing teatard, while R-money goes on a world tour PROVING he has none,
Remember Obama's 2008 European trip??????
The one where you right wing cry babies pissed and moaned about him playing a political rock star using his people skills??????
The one he drew tens and even hundred of thousands not having to apologise after every flub and open mouth statement.
Remember????????
Of course you do except that doesn't fit into your daily lie does it?
Mitt the Twit's not so excellent adventure
As opposed to;
US elections: Obama wows Berlin crowd with historic speech
or
3 Hours in Paris, and Smiles All Around
or
Obama hails US-UK ties after talks with Brown at Downing Street
or
Why Europe loves Barack Obama
or
Obama, in Berlin, Calls for Renewal of Ties With Allies
or
Obama Opens a Foreign Tour in Afghanistan
or
'Friend of Israel' also woos Palestinians
I think even little lisa can see the difference;
Heck President Obama will have to revisit Europe and Israel just to UNDO the very real damage Mitt the Twit did
PS did everyone notice where as Barack Obama was willing to visit the troops in 2008, Mitt the Twit kept up his world famous chicken hawk routine of avoiding all combat zones at all costs while praising others to fight in his (and his sons) places????????
