Did you know - Kerry would keep 98% of the existing Tax Cuts.....?

[cthrumatrix]

That only the top 2% are the ones that are affected by his tax rebate on on the rich.


Furthermore... a couple earning $190,000/yr would pay THE SAME under Kerry vs Bush.


I share this because soo many people are "brainwashed" into thinking Kerry will raise taxes on them vs Bush. Understand the facts.


This information was in the WSJ today page A20.

1. Thanks for posting that.

I hope Kerry will make it clear in the debates just that very point.

[cthrumatrix]

2. His Economic Policy was layed out for all to see....it's a good read

people should go buy the paper today...Wall Street Journal (page A20)

[cheshire]

3. Does * have one posted. I doubt it. Kerry is up front and real.

[cthrumatrix]

10. it's even more favorable for Kerry when you factor in the diff. in the

health care differences.

Medicare and prescription drug voters...there is no comparison.

[tjdee]

4. No one knows what the top 2% IS!

I HATE HATE HATE that they don't make this clear.

WHY don't they say people making over X?!

Every time I hear this I want to scream.

Most Republicans I've ever met think they ARE in the top 2%, that they make more than most people. They don't know that their measly $100K or so is small potatoes.

[michigandem2]

5. because like everything * does...

he misLEADS...he just says "raise your taxes" when time and time again Kerry has said he would only raise them on the top 2% of wage earners...

its silly....and UNTRUE...gosh...what else is new

[cthrumatrix]

8. I am sure many many Americans have no clue about this.

[michigandem2]

20. unfortunately you are correct...

lots of people don't pay close attention..and just take what they say at face value..but more and more are turning on and tuning in like me...following the way it goes..my husband always says "you know who you are voting for, why do you watch this garbage?" meaning any media show...he was bummed to hear Matt Lauer was a crony...

[Catfight]

6. you can always tell the oxyrushes who still believe that. They are

so lazy to me, they don't even bother to look at any other source other than Rush or Insannity.

[cthrumatrix]

7. WSJ - August 26, 2004 (page D2) Has a Tax comparison Chart

There really is NOT a difference until you (as a couple)earn about $500,000 / yr. and there's only about a 6% difference at that.


A single person once thay are earning up to $275,000 yr would see a $2,500 diff.

We are talking very small potatoes for the very wealthy vs. a ZERO difference for 98% of us!!!!!!!!!!!

[nedlogg]

9. Another $35 a Month

That's what I've seen from Bush's tax cuts. Big fuckin' deal, another dollar and change per day. That'll get me far.

Roughly speaking, someone making ten times what I make will see an additional $350 a month. That's a new car. And someone making 100 times what I make will see an additional $3500 a month. That could be a new house. But of course, the person making that kind of money wouldn't be caught dead living in a house that cost $3500 a month, now would they?

Tax cuts are for the wealthy, don't let them fool ya'.

[cthrumatrix]

12. $1Milion a year would see a $34,850 diff -- I think they can handle that.

13. Kerry DOES say that for business tax credits who keep jobs here

He also talks about child credits and college savings.

[Lex]

15. Yeah, right. And then the deficit would be even GREATER.

Reagan proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that tax cuts cause a sky-rocketing federal deficit.

Even Bush I called it "voo doo economics."

[cthrumatrix]

17. Listen, I am just sharing what Kerry says in his plan. Keeping JOBS

here is not a bad plan. Taking away tax breaks for those who violate that is OK.

The savings come from "taking away" the tax break for the Wealthy...and he wants to blance the budget..so read the article.

[Lex]

25. Hey cthru, I was responding to gooseman, not you.

I understand what you were saying about tax credits.

Gooseman just wants more tax cuts, period.

[cthrumatrix]

26. lol...thanks

[Kathy in Cambridge]

27. I guess you want to impoverish your children and greandchildren?

You need to study basic economics, pal. :eyes:

[Pallas180]

14. Yeah? who was it written by on WSJ - John Fund ??

Rove talking points....

[cthrumatrix]

16. writen by John Kerry...Titled My Economic Policy

[nolabels]

18. Is this some sort of way for an making a endorsement of the chimpy economy

The title statement is kind of misleading. Further more I think many of poorer folks didn't get much of a tax break once the state and locals RE-passed the buck on the tax cuts. However infinitesimal them tax cuts were for us salary challenged individuals, most of us probably didn't notice that much after paying for the extra rolls of duck tape for safety to guard against four year old intelligence on Terra plots. I think JFK's biggest asset is he is not Bush

[cthrumatrix]

19. HELL NO.... the repugs are pounding Kerry as this big TAX guy...he's NOT

that's why I share this.

Many repugs just care about taxes....if this is the case....then vote Kerry...period.

[nolabels]

23. If I was down to my last dime I would still vote for Kerry

Some people are just trying to make enough cash for next months rent payment. A lot them kind of people are feeling worn out or cheated and don't think it will serve them to be interested on the goings on politically. They don't make or understand the connections on what is happening and how it does or might effect them.

When you got two jobs and a family it's hard to stay current on anything. To keep up with declining incomes and rising prices (denied by government) people are doing all kinds of things to keep up. This all part of the chimpy economy. Personally,I am doing okay but I know lots of people that are not.

Got to go to work at my only job now :hi:

[cthrumatrix]

24. me too.....Kerry all the way.

[jayfish]

21. Well, You Wouldn't Know About That...

because it's a double secret tax-hike. Booosh told me so. :crazy:

Jay

[cthrumatrix]

22. LOL.... pass the real "tax comparison" w/your friends - they would be

shocked.

And since people vote with thier pocketbooks they would vote for Kerry.

[cthrumatrix]

28. kick

[jayfish]

30. I Don't Think Anyone Else Is Getting...

your point on this thread CTM. :dunce:'s!

Jay

[cthrumatrix]

31. they get it --- the propaganda that says Kerry will raise taxes on you is

a sham.

He has the same income tax plan as awol does for 98% of America. Do any of the network news assholes tell you this --- NOPE!

[chimp chump]

29. Huh?

I can't believe how many of you are saying you didn't know this already.

Blame yourselves. Kerry has said it quite a few times over the months, made it very clear. Actually, I think he should go further as a sound political strategy to appeal to indy/Dem voters but this has certainly been no secret.

[Nicholas_J]

32. 46 percent

ovf the 2.6 trillion dollars that were given out by the Bush tax cuts goes to the top two percent of all tax payers (those who have a net income of 200,000 dollars or over) Just repealing the tax cuts for those who earn 200,000 or over would provide a net gain of over 1 trillion dollars to pay for Kerry's proposed agenda. The tightening up of the tax loopholes to corporations who outsource jobs as well as the tightening of a few other loopholes would provide more than the additional trillopn dollrs that Kerry would need to pay for other parts of his agenda.

[cthrumatrix]

33. thank you for sharing

[Mr_Spock]

34. I heard fucking lying freeper telling someone on the phone that Kerry

was "rolling back" the tax cuts. I got ENRAGED and holered at him "do you make over $200,000?" "Well then you won't be affected - FUCKING LIAR" "Why don't you quit lying to people about these things you FUCKING LIAR". He never talked about this subject again - stupid fucking LYING freeper trying to LIE to someone to influence their vote. I busted his LYING fucking ass. I was SO pissed at what he was trying to do - in a public arena too - not while I'm around - bitch!
