Obama the worst president ever ?

[sailr]

gotta love it. Liberal spoon feeding? conservative bloviators like fox, limbaugh, hannity, etc. are the biggest spoon feeders of total brainwashing and b.s. on earth! If we didn't have free speech, they would all be in jail for lieing and inciting the weak minded to act out.

liberal media spoon feeds the masses that believes it as gospel. Most people ( i did NOT say YOU) are too lazy or stupid to see the facts.

The rich are taxed at capital gains rate of 15% which is less than most people pay in taxes. They don't have 'earned income'. their income is from investing, thus, they get the capital gains rate. And then there are those of extreme wealth that find every possible loophole and pay NOTHING! this is common knowledge. Do YOUR homework. You need to stop listening to the lies from the right wing extremists.

I love how the liberal media has made everyone thinking that the rich dont pay any taxes. Do some homework and you will find that the rich are taxed around 25-30% vs around 15% for Amercians making between 50!-100K. The top 1% (Americans making over 1.2 million) also pay in the greatest percentage (38%) of taxes of the 50% of American who actually pay taxes.

All rich American's are not taxed at a capital gains rate. A small percentage of rich American's who only draw their income from investments (ex. Steve Jobs who salary is $1) are taxed at a capitals gains rate of 15%. And it would not matter if you are rich or not, capital gains are taxed at 15%. And if the extreme wealth of America finds every possible loophole and pays nothing, why do the top .1 percent of rich American's pay 18% of all federal income tax. I did my homework salir, you clearly let CNN do your's.

Obama paid over $1,000,000. in taxes last year.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/president-obama-2010-complete-return.pdf

Is that a fair enough share?

[sailr]

Exactly! The richer they are, the lower rate they pay. That is what Obama is saying. It's time to get off the Job Creator bullcrap too. Bush lowered the wealthiest's taxes so they could create jobs. Didn't happen! Won't happen! The rich just pocket the windfall! Then they take their $$$ offshore and pay NOTHING and in some cases get credits! Amazing how the common folk in the tea party buy into the lies and crap from the right.

Ok, so some ultra rich dude is being taxed at about 18% on his investment in some company or stock. Is this rich guy 't hagoing to take his money out of that investment and put it into a cd at the local bank for 1% return if the Capitol Gains tax rate goes up? If it was you or I we would be paying close to 35% of earned income.

What did he earn and from where.

It must be really nice to be on the Left and be able to just say whatever you want, Over and Over and Over again, and have it somehow magically become the new set of "facts" by which you argue...

Sorry... you can't just go around making stuff up. Talk about eating up bogus lines of crap!

The only way you can get around paying a capital gains tax is if you re-invest your money in something else (ex. Take money out of one company and invest all of in in another). So if this ultra rich guy takes his money out of his investment and puts it in the bank or a CD, that would not be considered re-investing, and he would have to pay taxes on what ever profit he made while his money was invested. Then when he put his money in a bank or cd, he will pay taxes on whatever he makes in interest.

You're hilarious. The right has been making stuff up for years with the help of the radical news media and limbaugh, etc. Amazing how easily those on the right are brainwashed. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

The gov needs to close the boarders bring back manufacturing to the us. It is a load of bull that we are saving any money on the crap being made overseas yes the price may look cheaper but in the long run you will pay more on the maintinance that is required today to keep things working. The time has come for the people that dont speak there mind that dont bother to vote to wake up and join the party! I still feel that we clean house and get rid of all in office there is not one of them worthy in my eyes also there should be terms just like the presidency no more life time terms these guys get to comfortable the longer the term.... I figure today I can get away with saying what I want due to back surgery this morning and the wonderful pain meds they have me on

[sailr]

Good luck with the back surgery. Been there, done that.

[murphy3428]

Thankyou Sailr, ya I been there twice before aswell hopfully three times the charm

[Rumdog]

Manufacturing back to the U.S. won't happen. Costs too much to pay us Americans. Plus the quality of a LOT of American made goods is poor. THAT is why it doesn't sell overseas. I always get a giggle when people talk about China "junk".

This country is and has been blowing money that it doesn't have for a long time now. The B.S. wars is the reason. Face it... Bin Laden won. His goal was to bankrupt this country. It happened. It's going to be a few more Presidencies before anyone puts a dent in what's owed.

Hmm, I think there was a state called California and run by some Austrian guy who did not know where the zipper was on his trousers. I hate to say this but we depend on your austerity and as the leader in the world, but the wheels are falling off in your position for that honour.

Perhaps, that is why it's difficult to stomach fed loans to Solindra like companies. When most solar companies took the handouts and then moved their manufactering to China. Solindra on the other hand just gave back the money via campaign contributions. (but we will see what is disclosed when the FBI finishes its investigation...In like 5 years) Not much stimulus there....

And the longer we Blow money, (via campaign paybacks and alike) the debt just keeps climbing..... Doesn't seem to be doing much good to the ecomomy as a whole.

Can't stop paying it back till to stop spending more than you make......

That's how I run my household.
