Put Up, or Shut Up; What are Republicans offering the Middle class? Be Specific

[OnePercenter]

if you divide income by taxes paid, you get a number greater than 1.

You're hilarious!

What was their income, genius?

8b ÷ 447b = 1.7%

Wow, you think their income was 447b?

How basic was the business class you flunked out of at that community college?

8b ÷ 447b = 1.7%

Mister Masters in Business from Columbia confused income with revenue. LULZ!

Revenue and income are the same thing, business vs worker.

Yeah center for american retards is a fail right off.
Thanks for pointing out that there was no deregulation. The regulation failed. More regulation will fail more.

Yeah a WORLD WIDE CREDIT BUBBLE was because of too much regulation *shaking head*

There was no deregulation. Credit bubbles occur regardless of the level of regulation.

The more you post, the more ignorant you appear. I'd do something about that.

You measure "offer" in handouts. Others measure "offer" in opportunity. Unlike you, I'll take all I can get of the latter...

So what 'OPPORTUNITY' are Republicans offering the middle class? Be specific.

It was the culmination of a 12 month battle that the Republicans fought tooth and nail over to keep the tax rates for the super rich at historically low levels.

Historically low levels? That's hilarious!!!

In 1988, the top rate was 28%.
When Bush left office, the top rate was 35%.

But what was the effective (actual) rate? My tax rate is 38%, but I only paid 4%.

You bought $11,000 in stock a few years ago.
You sold it for $15,000 last year.
You paid $600 on your $4,000 gain.

That doesn't make your effective rate 4%.

No. I'd defer and invest the income until I had a balanced loss which would bring the $600.00 to zero.

No, the GSEs Did Not Cause the Financial Meltdown (but thats just according to the data)


1. Private markets caused the shady mortgage boom: The first thing to point out is that the both the subprime mortgage boom and the subsequent crash are very much concentrated in the private market, especially the private label securitization channel (PLS) market.


2. The government’s affordability mission didn’t cause the crisis


4. Conservatives sang a different tune before the crash: Conservative think tanks spent the 2000s saying the exact opposite of what they are saying now


Hey Mayor Bloomberg! No, the GSEs Did Not Cause the Financial Meltdown (but thats just according to the data) | The Big Picture




It is clear to anyone who has studied the financial crisis of 2008 that the private sector’s drive for short-term profit was behind it

I wonder where I claimed they did?

Yes, Out of context vids meant nothing

Neither do claims that Bush's imagined deregulation caused the crisis.

Financial gain is income is revenue which is handled (tax wise) in differing ways depending on how the gain was achieved. It's all IRS rules.

WHO claimed that? It was Bush REGULATOR failure that caused the great Dubya/GOP recession...

Excellent! Glad I could help you correct your error.

At least your signature is fairly accurate in the sense that you are a fucking idiot when it comes to math. 39.6 is well below the mean and median the last 80 years. If you can't tell by looking at the above numbers, you are too stupid to have a conversation with.

What does gain have to do with it?
You said, business revenue was the same as income.

Revenue at the register is income. It's an IRS rule. Revenue is treated differently than income. Businesses can deduct the cost of business where typical employees can't.
