The congress could push a tax bill through that would allow the tax cuts against those making less than $250K to be extended, but if the republicans don't get the tax cuts against those making over $250K also extended, they will not work with the democrats.
So then we'll just see them all expire. So be it. <:-)

What's funny is I never saw any increase in my tax refunds. I was making pretty good money then and also remarried to a person making good money. Where was my big refunds? Oh we didn't make over $250K. < :-)

Didn't the last SCOTUS decision say that they sided with the military thinking at the time and dropped it. < :-)

TimRussert,
Tell me how the last administration helped the majority of Americans create wealth with the country's mortgage problems, foreclosures and lost homes and the crash of the stock market.
Isn't bush the guy whose ball team went bankrupt? And his abundant knowledge of finances is the reason for the country's mess now. < :-)

Most of the people that "you" talk to. Not the ones I talk to. Show me your link.
Oh quit blaming Reagan/Bush and baby bush. They can't help it. It's in their blood to take from the poor, what little they have and give it to the richest in tax cuts. They are the anti-Robin Hoods. < :-)

I pay my fair share. I don't hide money and I want the bush tax cuts to expire. < :-)

manfromamerica, I don't have a complex. I finally achieved an income status I never believed I'd attain when I was younger. However, I still have the mentality of when I was broke, too. I don't care for those who hide money, send it to off shore accounts.
That's why I want a "flat tax" not a "consumption tax". < :-)

sensei258,
No. I served for over 13 years and I knew gays. There was never a problem, NEVER.
CrazyAmerican, I can tell by your post you never served. You talk a lot, but apparently not from experience.
Maybe some of you need to join the military and get real life experiences instead of running your mouth about things you have no idea what you're talking about. < :-)

If you don't make a lot of money, then you're taxed on all of it. Now I know that there are deductions, minimums and credits, but it still very little money left over to us after taxes.
Then I hear a commercial on the radio today talking to those who have money and how to invest and then how to receive at least $100,000.00 of untaxed money deposited into your checking account each year. "Untaxed"
So if you don't have money, you can't have untaxed money, but if you're rich you can have untaxed money.
Then we hear about the rich needing these tax breaks. What for? You got money to invest and want more untaxed money. To hell with you. < :-)

Well we've been waiting a long time to get to this point. Sure this decision will be fought and then to the SCOTUS. Then the final decision will be made. Gays have a right to equality and the right to fight for their country. < :-)

Flat tax would be great, but not a consumption tax.
Boehner is trying to talk democrats into a temporary extension of the bush tax breaks. He'd do anything for a tax break.
Let the tax breaks run out, just like the republicans agreed on years ago. < :-)

Matter of fact Molenir, I never saw an increase in my refund before or after the tax credits. I think skipthesong discussed this in depth after the bill was signed and became effective.
Like I mentioned earlier, after credits and deductions the rich only pay 18% as it is. If you're not doing that well, you need a new tax guy. < :-)

I was listening to a local talk show this afternoon, here in KCKS and it was crazy listening to the republicans who wanted the Korans burned, Muslims kicked out of the military and just violence against Muslims. These are the republicans that I'm used to hearing.
What was so funny is that this was a conservative talk show and the two hosts couldn't believe the hate being spewed.
I'd like to see him not burn the Korans, because I think that US Servicemen might be more in harms way because of this. < :-)

Pestronika You can't balance the budget having to borrow the money from China The money we're borrowing should be tax dollars and not loan dollars.
Hey Republicans you knew the tax credits were ending at the end of 8 or 10 years. We've borrowed $$Billions$$ to make up what you didn't pay in.
Molenir I didn't ask for a tax credit. I didn't want a tax credit and I'm not looking to continue tax credit for me or the rich.
fds Even after the return to the tax rates during the Clinton Administration and the normal tax credits, the rich only pay 18% as taxes. < :-)

Wow, sounds like the republicans have already won. They are already measuring and picking their drapes.
