($3700 personal exemption + $5800 standard deduction.) A family of 4 can have income of $26,400 and pay zero tax. ($3700 x4 = $14,600 + $11,600 standard deduction.)

One is the college tuition tax credit found in several forms such as the hope education credit, and the life time education tax credit. Either one of these can reduce your tax burden by $2000. That plus standard or itemized deductions, and personal exemptions further reduce the tax burden. Should one not take tax deductions or credits that are available to them? For the past four years these deductions and credits have allowed me to reduce my taxes to less than zero. I won't be as fortunate as that this year. I don't and wont pay a dime more to an out of control government than I absolutely have too.

That does not compute. The amendment itself makes it constitutional.

Only effect would be to increase the likelihood of social security default. Bush wants employees to invest that same 2 percent into private investments. The result of which if one averaged 7 percent return for 40 years of working would be the accumulation of $450,000 not including what they might earn from their 401k and other investments. Some how that is demonized. but not Obama's plan.

They only want "green jobs" that require heavy government subsidizing. Why would they want jobs to be created by the private sector... how silly is that. /sarc Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:08:05 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9RJUA601&show_article=1#IDComment237253099 http://biggovernment.com/publius/2011/12/10/et-tu-beck-part-iii-erratic-multimedia-star-pulls-race-card-against-tea-party/#IDComment236464465 Not too happy with the group we have either...

This presented a logistics problem for them as well. Another well thought out policy by Democrats in Congress. BTW: Obama care should be ruled unconstitutional if only because it never really passed. It was only deemed to have passed whatever that means.

Too many people don't know the difference between income and investment income (capital gains). Also millionaires do not pay taxes on their wealth they pay it on income. So calling someone a millionaire doesn't mean anything. Someone could be a millionaire with no income or little income.

Which are just as expensive as CFL's. Pick your favorite gas as long as it is not vacuum. It is just another item that Congress should not be regulating. It is just like the toilet tank capacity regulation in 1991. And toilets still don't work worth a damn after 20 years.

It should have been neutral, and just removed the lamp efficiency provision. But even republicans can't help themselves when it comes to regulation. It was a bad bill.

Those years would have been great no matter what Clinton did with tax rates. But Clinton's budget surpluses were the result of the Republican congress, not anything Clinton did, he fought it all the way. His own proposed budgets showed $200 billion deficits as far as the eye could see.
