Interesting response on U Tube debate

[scrapperdog]

I dont follow politics much and was just flipping through the stations and saw this on the utube debate.

Question- Are democrats going to raise taxes.

Partial answer- We plan on getting rid of NAFTA and the WTO.

This was quite suprising to me to say the least. Bill Clinton was big supportor of NAFTA and it would really suprise me if Hillary would kill it. I am not going to say anything more cause I dont follow politics, but thought it was worth a post here. Im not sure of the name of the person who answered the question (ya I am that dumb when it comes to politics, I planned on voting for whoever the engineer endorses).

Democrats will raise taxes on the rich, Republicans cut taxes for the rich and raise them for the poor. Republicans were/are behind the push to outlaw all online poker. Democrats are the ones (with a few Republicans) who are fighting for freedom and trying to let adults do what they want to with their own money. Republicans say you can only spend your money on things they morally aprove of.

This is ludicrous in reference to anything other than online poker. DUCY?

Please show laws passed in the last 8 years that increase taxes on the poor. I dont know of any but who knows Im only a tax accountant. Good thing the republicans cut taxes so much, and the funny thing is when they do cut taxes they wind up increaseing the revenue for the govt. Hmmm wonder how that happens? Oh well maybe I can just be the mind tool of the democratic biased media that everyone else is.

"The United States federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit that reduces or eliminates the taxes that low-income working people pay (such as payroll taxes) and also frequently operates as a wage subsidy for low-income workers. Enacted in 1975, the then very small EITC was expanded in 1986, 1990, 1993, and 2001 with each major tax bill, regardless of whether the tax bill in general raised taxes (1990), lowered taxes (2001) or eliminated other deductions and credits (1986). Today, the EITC is one of the largest anti-poverty tools in the United States (despite the fact that income measures, including the poverty rate, generally do not account for the credit), and enjoys broad bipartisan support."

Good thing the EITC has nothing to do with the poor. Because as you said republicans only give tax breaks to the rich and make the poor pay more taxes.

Oh one more question how do you give a tax break to someone who doesnt pay taxes?

[jkpoker]

guess I'm just ignorant but the last tax breaks where a standardized amount for everyone??

Okay, you must be high. While I have recently re-examined my own political stance since the Republicans force fed this law through Congress, I have to tell you that you are dead wrong. Republicans are all about freedoms. They feel that people need to be more responsible for their own actions and only let government take care of things such as defense, infrastructure and foreign policy. They do not tax the poor more than the rich either. This is what is so surprising to me about the resent legislation that was passed. They give tax "relief" to the rich that invest their wealth to create more businesses and thus produce more paying jobs. Those whole make millions and then do nothing with it but hoard it pay very high taxes on their gains. Democrats on the other hand, want the mass of people to be lower income and thus require them to do more for them. They want you to say, "help me, I cannot do it for myself". They can then in turn, raise taxes as a justification so that they can take care of their people. I am not a loyal Bush supporter but I will tell you that no president, even your beloved Clinton, would have been able to survive in the post 9-11 area any better than Bush. Take any major tax consumer in government today and it is traced back to a democratically controlled government, the welfare program being a prime example. You really need to do your homework before taking what the media feeds to you as truth before making such vague statements. Remember, if they own the information, they can get you to believe whatever they want. Take control and make your own conclusions. Don't just digest what they feed you and regurgitate it when you want to be angry about something.

Republicans: Bill Frist, Jon Kyl, George Bush etc, say I can't play poker.

Democrats: Robert Wexler, Barney Frank, Shelly Berkley say I should be able to play poker.

Result: Like Doyle Brunson, a former life long Republican said, "I will never, ever, vote for another Republican."

For you cheddar thief: go read Al Gore's new book if you really think their is a liberal media bias. Also the idea that people will spend thier money if you give the rich tax breaks; How many washing machines can a millionaire buy and how many washing machines can 20 people making 50k dollars a year buy.........

As for you JP the irony of all these companies is they say dont regulate us but they all go begging and bribing every politicaian they can for government handouts and subsidies.

P.S. God bless Ron paul and Barney Frank
