Re: Go Figure said by JammerMan79:if you make more that $250,000/yr please wait a minute while I go get my violin The amount of money a person makes has nothing to do with it. Regardless of whether you make $10,000 or $1,000,000 a year, if your taxes are increased (lets say) 15% thats going to hurt. People who are just now struggling to get by are going to be hit with considerably higher taxes once all these 'welfare state' policies hit the books.

It has everything to do with it... from what I've read if you make under $250,000/yr you get a tax cut.. if you make more then it goes up. It's pretty clear why how much money you make matters.
How much do you pay a year for your health insurance btw?

It's a few years old, but the message remains the same.

Thats funny, because what you have read is about as reliable as what Obama has said; which is to say its utter nonsense. So far all he has been doing is talking about cutting taxes, while at the same time spending at a faster rate than ever before in the history of the United States. Its like that 'shell game' that shady characters like to play on tourists when they come to the big city; they distract your eyes with some quick hands and before you know if your money is gone.

One could do that, or alternatively you could simply review the Congressional Budget Office official figures. I suggest you first read the Wall Street Journal article (below) that states:
said by Wall Street Journal :
Thanks to a 6.6% decline in revenues due to recession, a spending increase of some $500 billion or 19%, and assorted federal bailouts, the U.S. deficit for fiscal 2009 (ending September 30) will nearly triple to $1.19 trillion. That's 8.3% of GDP, which CBO says "will most likely shatter the previous post-World War II record high of 6.0 percent posted in 1983.
»online.wsj.com/article/SB1231373···735.html
Following that (if you still wish to continue this argument of course), feel free to peruse the official figures posted on the government (CBO) website. The clearly show a trend (on the front page!) that will knock your socks off.
