President-Obama-will-seek-to-reduce-taxes-for-middle-class

The whole 1% thing has always been a smokescreen anyways...you could tax the 1% at 100% of their incomes and it still wouldn't come close to putting a dent in our growing debt. When a politician points to the 1% and declares their wealth to be "the problem"...they are simply diverting your attention from the real problem...which is that our Government spends WAY too much money!

It's the fact free emotion bubble. They want to believe they can tax the wealthy enough to bring about utopia on earth, so they believe it in the face of all contrary evidence.
 
You want the middle class to be revitalized, reduce taxes and regulations so companies can manufacture more in this country. As manufacturing goes so goes the middle class.

Corporate America is seeing record profits, yet they are not including their employed wage earners in the financial end of their success. It's so obvious, it baffles one's mind how you came to such an outlandish conclusion.
You are talking about trickle down which hasn't worked. You say welfare hasn't worked, What does welfare have to do with working wage earners? They are earning their wages, they are not sitting on their ass looking for a hand out. Or is it that workers deserving to be rewarded for the contribution to a company's success now welfare?

Work, really? I've never seen an income cap for work, welfare and other government programs always have an income cap. You get a paycheck for work, no, this is welfare. just another name.




Here is a for sure with you tex. If Obama came out with a plan to cut the richest 1%s taxes to 5%, but the supporters of such a move had to suck the dick of a 1%er, you would be at the front of the line. Couldn't get there fast enough. Suck their dick and cut their taxes? You'd be in heaven wouldn't you.

The top half of earners pay 100% of income taxes but you want to send the bottom half who pay no income tax a check and not call it welfare. Welfare by any other name is still welfare. As for your snide remarks, fuck off and die.

What is it about supply and demand of economics do you not understand. A glut of workers will hold wages down, when labor is in demand wages go up. You don't like what a company pays, go elsewhere and see if your more valuable to another company, but don't expect a company to pay you more than your worth just because you show up.

Why America’s Struggling Middle Class Has Businesses Scared
The decline of the U.S. middle class has corporate America and Wall Street scared. And nobody is more frightened than America’s biggest retailers.
Five years after the 2001 recession ended, real retail spending per person had climbed 7 percent above its prerecession level. More than five years after the end of the Great Recession—August 2014—retail spending per person had finally reached its prerecession level.
Former Walmart U.S. CEO Bill Simon, whose company had seen consumer traffic drop for six straight quarters and same-store sales drop for five quarters, explained in July 2014 that “we’ve reached a point where it’s not getting any better but it’s not getting any worse—at least for the middle (class) and down.” Kip Tindell, CEO of the Container Store, put retailers’ feelings best when he said, “consistent with so many of our fellow retailers, we are experiencing a retail ‘funk.’”
The culprit is obvious: low wage and income growth for the middle class. Median household income in 2013 stood 8 percentage points below its 2007 prerecession level. The simple fact of the matter is that when households do not have money, retailers do not have customers. The failure of incomes to keep up with the growing cost of college, child care, and other middle-class staples leaves even less money for retail spending. A previous analysis by the Center for American Progress shows that this so-called “middle-class squeeze”—stagnant incomes and the growing cost of middle-class security—leaves the median married couple with two kids with $5,500 less to spend annually on food, clothes, and other essentials that retailers sell.

Yep I saw a story on Kip Tindell this morning, he decided he was going to buck the successful retail model and his company is paying the price for his ignorance. But your article brings back my point about manufacturing. An economy that is 80% dependent on consumerism is unsustainable because manufacturing is where the high wage jobs are. A good welder will make 5 times the wage of a retail clerk.
 
This is changing the Reaganist tax rates and policies that CONTINUE to wreck the nonrich and the country. Probably will be blocked until 2017, functional moron hater dupes. BUT if the GOP loses the idiot TP, they could actually compromise on this, immigration, Keystone, corporate taxes, etc. End disfunction? What a concept.

There is no compromising with lying liberals, they can go pound sand as far as I'm concerned.
Almost time for the GOP adults to again ignore the brainwashed tinfoil twit "no compromise, un-American TP GOP" (TIME)...

Under Obamacare if you like your plan, if you like your doctor, you can keep your plan and your doctor, period. LIE!! Who in their right mind would try to broker a compromise with a bunch of blatant repeated liars?
Dems didn't realize that hater dupes also liked scam plans, didn't realize that Pub and crony insurer non-cooperation would cause problems in the short run...

Hater dupe...hater dupe...hater dupe...blah...blah...blah...blah...blah...hater dupe!

Just one more Franco post...yawn...
It's a perfect name for the curse of the last 30 years, brainwashed bigoted fools of greedy Pub billionaires. See if you can spot the trend- and see sig:

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 30 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Millions were duped by the Democrats lies. They stupidly trusted Democrats when they said if you like your plan and doctor you could keep them...as it turns out no it was just another Democrat lie. Since you can't believe one word out of their lying mouths there is no prospect for compromising with them, none, they lie.
So how many lost their doctors (without being stupid), and wasn't that a trend before ACA?

I want some gd stats, not Pubcrappe. And BFD anyway. 40k lives saved, hundreds of thousands of bankruptcies averted/ year, cost curve down, and just started, still being screwed up in Red states.

So why do Pubs block a GOOD jobs/infrastructure act, training for 3 million GOOD tech jobs going begging, cheap college loans, etc etc etc etc. A-hole Pubs and silly dupes who can't see the forest for the bs trees.
 
Obama lies like ever. The middle class doesn't exist in America.
The richest 1% are getting richer… and the middle class is just disappearing.
To make it easy to see what’s happening to America’s middle class…
Right away, you see the majority of Americans are earning less in adjusted dollars than they did in 2000. The median household income is $51,371… but that depends on where you live.
  • Manufacturing jobs have moved to emerging economies. These jobs were needed to stimulate economic growth…
  • America is fortunate to have fleets of highly skilled workers… but this benefits the upper class… and not necessarily the middle class.
  • Also, if you are fortunate enough to have assets… and you were able to keep those assets through the global recession… you’ve done well. Again, this does not apply to the middle class.
See if you can spot when this happened, and whose policies did it, ferchrissake:

Pure Pubcrappe. Payroll taxes paid overwhelmingly by the nonrich are as much as fed income taxes now, and if you count ALL taxes and fees, EVERYONE pays 21%- and 95% of the wealth growth goes to the top 5%.

You're a brainwashed functional MORON.

Fuck you and your cheap college loans, I'm damned tried of subsidizing other peoples kids. You want cheaper college pressure colleges to lower their tuition, they go up 2-3 times the inflation rate.
