Love to see Teapublicans make a stand now on why they need to protect the rich and block a program that helps the middle class

I'm curious, Winger...would you say that the Middle Class has been better off under this Administration or worse off? I hear so much talk from Progressives about how they are working for the benefit of the Middle Class but then they turn around and pass something like the Affordable Care Act that forces the Middle Class to pick up the tab for healthcare subsidies for the poor.

The biggest break the Middle Class have had in years is the present low cost of gasoline and that's despite Barry's best efforts! If it was up to him and his little "green" buddies...we'd all be paying six bucks a gallon.

link, troll?

dear look it up with Google. Its easy

the top 1% pay 40% of all federal taxes and 50% of most state taxes. This means that many of our nation's most productive people see their investment capital wasted by liberal govt. This leads to slow growth!!

Just shows AGAIN that the richest make way too much of the country's money. See sig. EVERYONE pays about 21% of their income in ALL taxes and fees, and 95% of the new wealth goes to the richest. Hater dupes are total chumps of the greediest a-holes in the modern world.

Actually, the nonrich pay about 12% of their income in state and local taxes, the richest about 6%. And fees hit the nonrich much harder, and you may have noticed they've gotten ridiculous under Reaganism the last 30 years too.

A greater percentage does not equate to more, hater dupe.

No shit

But why should the rich pay a lower percentage of their income? Only in a conservative paradise

Good question

Are they better off on wages? No
Are they better off on retirement savings? Yes
Are they better off on healthcare? yes

Overall.....about even

So, why are Republicans going to block these initiatives to finally do something for working Americans?

Because they have to protect the one percent

Now THAT is an amusing answer!

A whole lot of the Middle Class have had their retirement savings savaged by being out of work for record amounts of time and the value of real estate they own is still lagging far behind what it used to be. Hard to see how anyone's retirement savings are better off under Barry's six years.

As for healthcare? The Middle Class was told that they would be saving money because of the ACA. That was a lie. They will be expected to pay more for the ACA because someone has to pick up the tab for all of the subsidies for the poor.

I will never understand why the tax code is used to favor people with children.

Anyone who had a 401k decimated under Bush appreciates it doubling under Obama.

10 million middle class Americans who could not get coverage have it thanks to Obamacare. Low wage workers receive subsidized healthcare they couldn't have qualified for

Fer chrissake dupe, you're blaming Obama for Booosh's 2nd Great Pub Depression, AND Pubs blocking a full recovery for four years. Then ACA is supposed to perform miracles IMMEDIATELY (it just kept price hike to 3%) even WITH Pubs screwing it up in red states...OK, give us more destructive Pub fear mongering BULLSHYTTE propaganda.

The only way it makes sense for you to say something like this is if you've never had a 401K and don't understand how they work. Either that, or you're just incredibly stupid. I'm thinking it's a little of both.

How can someone with a 401k that saw the stock market rise from 6600 to over 17000 not have made money under Obama?

Are you retarded?

Propaganda? You progressives told Middle Class Americans that the ACA would save an average family about $2,500 a year in healthcare costs and that was a total LIE! The healthcare costs for the average Middle Class American have gone up sharply! Many of the 8,000,000 Americans who lost their old health care plans because they didn't meet ObamaCare guidelines are now faced with either paying extremely high rates for worse coverage than they had before...or paying a penalty for not having any coverage at all because they can't afford it!

You do realize from the Times article...

The bulk of the financing for the plan — $210 billion — would come from a capital-gains tax hike and a change in the way the tax code treats the appreciated value of inherited assets.

Shall we go back to a min. 35% tax on stock capital gains. thus effectively KILLING the stock market rally that the QE forever has brought on. AND, if your family has a business, when the chief owner of that business dies, shall we bring back the 50% capital gains on these family businesses, or shall we, as in the past, force the families to SELL those businesses in order to pay the inheritance tax?

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.

Franco your not middle class no way in hell either you are dirt poor or a millionaire snob, which is it?

He's a shlub from upstate ny...don't need much to live up there.

The rich pay 35% for income tax should we lower that to the 10% or less that the poor pay? If you want equal then let's get fucking equal.
