Actual Paris Hilton News without mentioning her vajayjay, I don’t think so.
Her vajayjay was being doused with champagne in St. Tropez yesterday secure in the knowledge that Republicans were working hard to make sure she was taken care of.
It’s going to effect more than just rich people. The economy will react as if this is a major tax increase. Tax revenue will actually decline. Letting this happen during this exceptionally weak economy might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. It seems like Obama want’s to tank the economy.
Obama is the worst of the worst. Only an idiot would think he and the Democrats are leading our country in the right direction at this point.

A waste of perfectly good vajayjay.

Hmmm… where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, during the Clinton years. Remember the Clinton years? He raised taxes and Boom! Prosperity and a surplus!
Ah, evidence-free talking points. Must be wingnut Monday.
I thought the previous talking point was that businesses and rich people are sitting on nearly $2 trillion because of “uncertainty.” So if we make certain the pay more taxes, they should start spending, right, before the gummint gets it all?
“A waste of perfectly good vajayjay.”
ew. maybe like…. 8 years ago. now that thing must look like richard lewis after 8 rounds with mike tyson.
The 2001 tax cuts created a structural deficit that continues to damage the economy, It is time to make it right again.
The theory was that the rich would use their tax cuts to create more jobs. The results are in and it didn’t work.
The wingnut justification for the failure of the 2001 tax cuts is to blame spending. But nobody wants to cut spending, at least not to the levels that would match the tax cuts. So that justification is just dishonest.
The deep cuts in capital gains and dividends destroyed jobs by changing business behavior. It’s time to roll them back. The dividend cuts were the most pernicious; it is a pity Obama promised to roll dividends back only to 20% instead of to the Clinton levels (which treated dividends as regular income).
It is also too bad the capital gains tax will be only rolled back to 20%. The Clinton capital gains tax that produced the boom was 25%; it was cut to 20% in 1997 which is arguably what turned the boom into a bubble by pouring gas on the fire.
Remember, the point of stiff investment taxes is not to soak the rich, but to give them incentive to put the money back into jobs and growth instead. They don’t have that incentive today.
you let the rich keep more of their money and they just invest it in offshore banks to pay even less taxes. Every single time the right wing has tried to give more money to the rich under the false assumption they would be kind overlords and spread the wealth, the gap has grown even bigger. It is time to fully reject this false notion that wealthy people will be fair on their own. There is not one shred, NOT ONE, of evidence throughout history to support that false right wing claim.

I’ll leave it to others to make the perfectly valid arguments about economic justice and what’s “fair.” In the political arena, I don’t think the economic justice argument is very useful at this time.
For myself, the most powerful argument against tax cuts for the rich are technical economic arguments: they don’t work, they destroy prosperity, and they shrink the middle class which is damaging to the nation’s stability and security.
A. Price, you know how I hate when our discussion is about women’s appearance, but I make an exception for the richard lewis bit, which made me LOL, this morning. *giggle*
i call em like i see em, brooke 🙂 (well, not SEE.. but rather assume based on her demonstrated ho-baggedness)
and in my defense it’s not just women. ALL trashy fake people, hot or not get the “wrath” Let’s start a discussion on the roid-jacked “Situation” and we’ll see how many men i can make feel objectified and worthless. It’s fun 🙂
(we are all equal and beautiful in our own way)
