3/26 I'm surprised there isn't more bitching here about the new tax
cut being reduced.
\_ Be my guest.
\_ you mean tax cut has not being elimated completely?
\_ even those who support the tax cut may think the tax cut reduction
is reasonable.
\_ Since the tax cuts were so minor in the first place, cutting them
roughly in half doesn't change much so what's to bitch about? The
tax cuts were symbolic in the first place. Now I've got half a
symbol. Whatever.
\_ Exactly, the tax cuts were worthless. Just Bush trying to buy
his popularity. The way I see it, the country needs my money
more than I do. It's not a big deal.
\_ I don't see it as the Federal Government needing my money more
than I do. They already have too much. I see it as the tax
cut was so small it didn't matter anyway so as I said, half of
nearly nothing is just that much less meaningful than it
already way. If it was a *real* tax cut then I'd be pised.
\_ Tax cut for you is small, but for the big cats, it's big.
No more capital gains save a nice hefty chunk for the fat
No more capital gains saves a nice hefty chunk for the fat
cats. Don't be stupid. Their strategy is big tax cut
for the rich, throw a few meaningless bones to the very
poor to preempt criticism, and screw the stupid middle
like yourself who keeps repeating "it didn't matter
anyway" or "tax cuts were symbolic" like an idiot.
\_ No, Wrong. I *am* one of those rich white evil devilmen
you hate so much. I *am* the top 1%. I *am* the rich.
\_ Yes, my mistake.
The tax cut is piddly and now it's twice as piddly. If
there was a *real* tax cut that got axed I'd be pissed.
\_ Yes, my mistake. Make that "divident tax".
Just because you don't personally know anyone who is
very wealthy doesn't mean I'm automatically in the middle
as you very incorrectly assumed.
\_ Nobody really cares about the personal you. That you
are a fat cat only further supports my view. By the
way stop turning this into a race issue. Nobody really
gives a damn whether you are white, pink or green.
\_ It is very much about me because it is me that
you're saying is going to be the one benefiting and
I'm telling you you're wrong. I probably
understand my financial situation and the
implications of a potential tax cut for me better
than you do. Sorry to pop your balloon, kiddo.
\_ Don't give me crap. You were speaking about
the tax cuts in general terms like "tax cuts
were so minor in the first place", "tax cuts
were symbolic in the first place". You say that
I don't know your financial situation. So you
know the financial situation about other
Americans? That dividend tax elimination mostly
benefits the rich is a basic fact, stated in the
WSJ and various other places. I don't need
to know your financial situation to know that.
Like I said, this is not about you. Get a grip!
\_ Wait. Capital gains taxes were eliminated?! --dim
\_ Dividend double-taxes is what I think he meant.
\_ Yeah. They're gonna wait till next year to do the
capital gains..
\_ Yes, my mistake. Make that "dividend tax".
\_ I assume the rest of your rant is about as
accurate. --dim
\_ Keep assuming while the fat cats buy yet
another vacation home from the tax cut
dividends, and invite your wife there for
a rendezvous.
\_ Please stop being infantile. Thanks.
\_ Please, that dividend tax elimination
mostly benefits the rich is a basic
fact.
\_ I'm one of those "the rich" and
the benefit is miniscule. Keep it
and make a real tax cut worth your
whimpering about it.
\_ You are welcome to donate the
tax cut to the charity of your
choice. |
