Rand Paul: We Should Let Dems Raise Taxes And Then Let Them Own It | |

Re-Instate Smith-Mundt! User ID: 29227711 United States 12/07/2012 10:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.realclearpolitics.com] Quoting: Carshy McCarsh SEN. RAND PAUL: I have yet another thought on how we can fix this. Why don't we let the Democrats pass whatever they want? If they are the party of higher taxes, all the Republicans vote present and let the Democrats raise taxes as high as they want to raise them, let Democrats in the Senate raise taxes, let the president sign it and then make them own the tax increase. And when the economy stalls, when the economy sputters, when people lose their jobs, they know which party to blame, the party of high taxes. Let's don't be the party of just almost as high taxes. (video at link) Actually, this would be the better thing to do. I hate the idea of the cliff-falling, but since Obama refuses to even consider any other option, then let him and his army of self loving assholes tax themself into oblivion. Then when everything falls ontop of them, and it will, they will only be able to blame themselves, and give all credence to everything the Republicans have been saying about Obama. That is the ONLY way the leftists are ever going to see the truth about their omnipotent Obama. This is probably a good strategy, politically. However, what those in BOTH Parties tend to lose sight of is that thousands of families already exist on the edge of poverty, only one or two paychecks from living under a bridge. They represent the TRUE faces of increased taxation, and are lost within all of the glib statistics continually thrown about by our "leaders". "I have come to the conclusion that all news should be treated like 9/11, assume it is a psyop with actors participating in a staged event complete with props, until proven otherwise, in which case assume whatever is being recorded, reported, televised, is distortions/lying by omission/outright lies, until proven otherwise." - Anonymous, 4-13-12 |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 22478672 United States 12/07/2012 10:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe that taxes on the rich need to happen. I am realistic in that it will not cure all evils, like the Dems believe. I realize that the mental block that is happening cannot be fixed. The Dems and raising taxes on the rich is like a skip in a record, it will not stop repeating the same thing until you nudge the needle. Quoting: Corn Dog As for Rand Paul, I have no opinion on him. He is early in his career and so far people are not impressed is the general feeling feeling I get. Why do people think that by giving the government more of our money, NOW they will be responsible with it. More money for the government means more money they can and will spend. |

Quoting: davvi THIS^^^^ Great idea. But look at the numbers. Say 20% flat tax. that means the wealthy will have thier taxes lowered to 20% and the poor will have thier taxes raised to 20%. It is equal and fair for everyone but that is not how it will be spun in the media. |

And I can't believe that some actually rally behind the idiots that continue to promulgate this false dichotomy. Quoting: John Nash When one side says to let the other side raise taxes so that the people will take notice the net result is still taxes that are raised! Don't trust politicians who are willing to play the game for a future "gotchya!" I have no doubt that taxes are going up. But I am even more sure that spending will go up more than the taxes collected. The end result will be fewer employed and more of the rich that can afford to leaving the USA. Is this what you really want? Well, I guess if we are going down I suppose the faster the better. And this administration is hell bent on getting us there on the A train. Politics is just pro wrestling in another form. However, now it has become clear that the media and a majority of the country no longer cheer the Republican and that Obama is now scripted as the only hero along with his Democrat followers. the writers can no longer script the Republican as anything but a fall guy. That is what the audience wants now. |

The reason for this omission is because the effective tax rate is over 100% already and the fuss about the debt is only to reinforce that in your mind as something that's yours. |
