Obama says he 'won't compromise' on taxes

"... he would fight to extend tax cuts for the middle class..."  Political-speak for "I don't promise anything, but I want to SOUND like I'm promising something."

 

Anything that comes out of his mouth (and office) that does NOT include a huge cut in spending is just more wood on the fire.

 

How about this, you Fed brat-holes...

Let US decide how to redistribute our earnings.  Stop taking it from us then spending it on YOUR pet programs and agendas?  That's right, I don't believe you have this Nation's best interests at heart.

 

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a web site were we could log in and fund the programs the way WE wanted, as individuals?  In this dream world, once the taxes are filed and each individual has a "here's what you pay" lump sum, we would then be redirected to another page where we are presented with a comprehensive list of government programs, with a check box beside each one.  Once that check box is clicked, a window pops up showing our total liability (from the tax bottom line) and an empty line where we put how much we'd like to contribute.

In this dream world, the government would be constantly advertising it's wish list, and we'd be able to vote with our dollars.

In this dream list, there would be no end to the $$ you could contribute - if you felt that you should pay more than required, you could!  No one would stop you!  You could fund yourself right into the blissful state of your choice, without forcing another to do the same.

 

 

 

Worst president in my lifetime... and yes I am probably older than you.

I think it great that he won't budge in taxes. I hope the Republican don't budge in taxes either.

 

The fiscal cliff will get out attention and hopefully voters will realize that the spending and the debt are serious issues.

Anybody remember the last time a republiCON lied about "if you raise taxes, there will be a recession" ??

The salamander himself !

Simply put republiCONs are the problem. Case in point, man-turtle hybrid asked for a floor vote on a bill HE proposed....you guessd it, he filabustered HIS OWN bill....fricken maroon !

 

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) wanted to prove on Thursday that Democrats don’t have the votes to weaken Congress’ authority on the debt limit. Instead they called his bluff, and he ended up filibustering his own bill.

As long as obozo gets his 'richly' deserved 17 day vacation in Hawaii, he could give 2 $h!ts what happens to this country.  Yep, 4 more years of the last 4 years.  A country without a president.

""""""Obama says he 'won't compromise' on taxes""""""

 he is bound and determined to screw the rich people.

and make no mistake, its not really about money to the treasury..... it is about punishing  the wealthy. Bronco Bamma calls it fainess, but the reality is is that it's punative.

in this vid  B HO is asked why to raise the cap. gains tax when history is very clear that when you lower the tax revenues go up...... B HO's  response is about  fairness.... NOT THE MONEY.

Why is this clown STILL campaigning? If he and the rest of the liberal democrats think raising taxes will help the economy, why don't they just do it? What's the problem hero? You can just do it by executive order or some other loophole like you did with the illegals. We know the reason Obama, you refuse to take the fall for raising taxes. Why stop now? You have single handedly ruined our economy, and continue to make one mistake after another.

The republicans don't have the votes to get what they want so they BLOCK and demand that the majority please them or they will ruin the economy. Obama promised higher taxes on the rich in his campaign, he won the election, he is keeping his campaign promise. Thank you Obama for not allowing the GOP to hold the country hostage any longer.

Doesn't matter what they decide on the taxes....we are all going to pay higher taxes.  The rhetoric is just that....rhetoric.

Well, "THEY" made the decision to blow all-the money and where to spend it "ALL", as I see it they, meaning all of the guilty politicians in or out of office now, should be solely responsible and made to "personally pay it back".

Royalty doesn't have to compromise. And with the promotion and protection by the media........?

Our prez did not win by that large of a majority to be grand-standing this way...he is what is wrong with our government now....4 years without a budget, a plan, or the smarts to know how to fix it...,time to get down to business.  Congress is made up of 2 parties and a couple independs...as far as I am concerned, let it all go over the "cliff".. maybe then compromise will be put on the table as it should be..,no more blaming Bush, Obama now owns it all.... Government is supposed to serve the people, but it has evolved to a situation in which the people serve the government(s). They will not stop, they will not try to cut back!

In 2010 the people spoke and Pelosi lost her power, but Reid still remained; several budgets were passed by the house only died once they arrived at the Senate. With the media corruption and Romney not able to mobilize his message, we have another four more of inept leadership, maybe 2014 the people will speak and get our country on the right track.

It really doesn't matter which side of the aisle you are on, Congress and the prez is taken care of while they sit on their hands. Why not do the hard thing? They still get their annual salary and benefits because they made sure that they Got Ours. How about taking their hands out of the money that was put in for Social Security and Medicare long enough to let it build, or how about paying back the money they stole?

Yup, if Obama and the Dems get their way the cost of living will skyrocket. Can you say taxes on the Middle income through the cost of everything that you buy and higher unemployment?

Now, I am just going to sit back and watch you that voted for this prez pay the price for your ignorance....

 

  I love how the "wealthy" is defined as one person who just happens to EARN $200K in any given year, or a couple who happen to EARN $250K in any one given year. Take this couple. A policeman with 20 years on the force and a public school teacher with 20 years on the job. They live in New York State, New Jersey, Connecticut, California, or any other very expensive and highly taxed state.

 

Their combined income meets the dreaded threshold. But after these people pay their Federal tax, FICA, Medicaid / Medicare taxes, State and local taxes, and insurances, food, gas, oil, electric power, etc. they have nothing left in these high tax, expensive states.

   Yet, according to our fine president, this couple are "millionaires and billionaires." Meanwhile, Jay Rockefeller, who inherited $250 million for doing nothing other than being born the great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller, Sr., sits around collecting PASSIVE or UNEARNED income. His taxes do not get raised and we don't tax ASSETS, only income. Add to this, that we pay his salary and he has the best healthcare and pension in the world. We pay that too. So the cop and the teacher are "millionaires and billionaires" but Jay Rockefeller isn't.

 

   There is something seriously wrong with this picture.

If our economy goes over the cliff it will be because of Obama's refusal to compromise! After all, he is driving the buss!

Ahh yes...and the fiscal cliff approaches, but after it the sun will still come up, my 401 K will go down, and it just came back to pre-recession levels a few months ago...if this keeps up I'm gonna to pick up smoking so I won't live so long because obviously these guys are bent on keeping our futures broke.

 

I'm not talking Obama only, it's all of them.

"That may sound like the ongoing fiscal battle in Washington, but actually describes the situation in Britain.

The difference is that Britain has already raised taxes on the wealthy, with a telling result: The government actually lost revenue.

In the 2009-2010 tax year in Britain, more than 16,000 people reported annual income of more than 1 million pounds (equal to about $1.6 million today). Then in 2010, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a member of the Labour Party, introduced a new 50 percent top income tax rate for high-income earners. After that, the number of people reporting income of at least 1 million pounds fell to 6,000.

"It is believed that rich Britons moved abroad or took steps to avoid paying the new levy by reducing their taxable incomes," The Telegraph reported.

Harriet Baldwin, a Conservative member of Parliament, said: "Labour's ideological tax hike led to a tax cull of millionaires."

Instead of raising revenue, the tax hike cost the U.K. 7 billion pounds ($11.2 billion) in lost revenue — and that in an economy one-quarter the size of America's.

Now the government of Conservative Party Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that it will lower the top rate from 50 percent to 45 percent, a move the Labour Party officials have called a "tax cut for millionaires."
