RS> RC>>>> If the tax cuts are not extended...

RS> RC>>>> A single person making 75K a year, will see his tax burden
RS> RC>>>> increase $2300/yr, a married couple making combined income
RS> RC>>>> of $150K will see their tax load go up $4900, I suppose

RS> BK>>>   This may yet happen, because the *REPUBLICANS* have blocked
RS> BK>>>   the tax cut extension, for those making less than $250K/yr.

RS> RS>> The only reason they blocked it was because it didn't have a
RS> RS>> giveaway for the richest 2%.

RS> JB> It is a giveaway if you let them keep more of their own money ?
RS> JB> These folks already pay most of the taxes in this country.

RS>It's not as simple as Rush or Beck claim, (heck, they want that fat
RS>tax cut too,) it's more complex.

Of course they do.  Do you know why Rush moved his office from New York 
to Florida ? 


RS>I call it the "Paris Hilton Tax Cut" because Hollywood celebrities,
RS>where most of the richest now live, would get the lion's share of the
RS>tax cuts.

RS>I do know that from 2003-2007 the Bush tax did *NOT* help the
RS>economy, and starting with the housing buuble popping, everything
RS>went downhill.

Really ?  You parrot the talking points of the left well.  So based upon 
that logic, we might as well raise taxes and that will help the economy 
?  Please explain how tax increases help the economy.  Have you 
considered the possibility that the current Obama polices ae not working 
and the evidence is the fact that the economy has not started growing 
again ?  


RS>And there is plenty of blame to go around, republicans and democrats.

RS>But to listen to the right-wing nowadays, "Give fat tax breaks to
RS>Paris Hilton and the economy will magically be all hunky-dory!"

Your understanding of macroeconomics is so shallow.  The left counts on 
this type of debate.
