I'm sure you agree with me that this sort of attitude is terrifyingly inappopriate.

Natural Born for the purpose of being qualified for the presidency requires BOTH PARENTS to be of American Heritage. he was adopted and his name officially changed to barry soetoro a name he continued using right through school.

If you check out black websites like the Root you will see that he will not be getting 98 percent of the black vote in 2012. He is one and done and has been for two years now. I think a great many Dems will just sit home and not vote this first time home buyer tax credit 2012. Obama is a warmonger and a fear monger and the cause of the downgrading of our credit rating.

Then we turn around and send $ Billions in aid to the starving, unemployed and homeless. It is far better to have themselves employed, productive and supporting themselves.

These cuts are so miniscule in FY12/13 as to be genuinely embarrassing to the entire country. What were they arguing over again? Here is a plan that can work-- 1. Reid passes something vile out of the Senate, Boehner puts it unamended to a vote in the House, it is defeated. 2. Boehner says that nothing anyone has suggested, passed, negotiated, laid on the table, etc. has the support needed to pass both houses of Congress (correct).

Nothing will change. Matters will only get worse with a new national sales tax revenue stream. Does anyone forget the Regan tax deal: Top rate of 28% in exchange for eliminating or reducing deductions.

While 90% makes a much better argument, estate taxes are not levied on income. I would also imagine that much of your compensation was deferred when you were at American Express and you probably had growth and income on those amounts for many years without paying any income taxes at all.

You're speaking about a company the nets between 6-10 Billion a year in profits, paid $0 in federal tax(isn't that to help stimulate jobs ) and recieved 1.3 Billiion in a tax refund. It's hard to believe that the workers pay and benefits are dragging down the bottom line.

That table talks about what people pay on AVERAGE. To the extent that most people receive most of their income tax refund calculator as earned income, of course income taxes are progressive. But what the chart glosses over is two problems: 1. The very wealthiest tend to receive much more of their income as rentiers, receiving economic rent from their assets, which is favored and allows them to pay less than the average.
