9. If you were single, that means that you would have had to

have TAXABLE income of at least $90,285 if single with no dependents,
and TAXABLE income of at least $106,500 if married no dependents.

This would be your TAXABLE income after writing off your exemptions, state taxes, your property taxes, your interest on your home that you pay property taxes on, sales tax allotted, registration fees on your auto, any charitable deduction if any, etc....


meaning, you'd have to have grossed at the very least (not the most, cause interest mortgage should be added)......but not less than $130,000+ if filing a joint return with no kids, or $110,000+ if single.

Mortgage Interest write offs is a big variable as it could range anywhere from $0 to $50,000, depending as to the amount of your loan(s), terms and rate, the length of time you've owned it, and where you live.

So you could have grossed as much as $180,000 to $160,000 and perhaps a bit more.

Meantime, you've paid into social security, paid to have the roads where you live paved, paid for public school to keep our children educated and our competition with other countries at a better edge, paid for fire protection, police protection, clean water, military men fighting your wars, etc....

4. I was caught up by posts...Obama put 139.24 Billion in ed. funding. Crazy.

Apparently it's the largest in history. He wasn't lying about not forgetting the money in No Kids Left Behind.

5. Here's a litle blurb from a grateful taxpayer..

"Because of Obama and the Dems, the recession was not as bad as it could have been, my wife kept her teaching job, and my new employer was able to add a position.

Those are real-life, meaningful actions. When I lost my job in Jan 2009, as you would expect, I slashed our household budget and set up a "survival" plan. By my calculations, I had enough short-term savings to last until October, before I had to dip into our emergency savings. After that, it would be questionable whether we could keep our house.

Thanks to Obama and the Dems, I not only made it through until now, but I still have 40% of the short-term savings left that I can now put back into some necessary home repairs that had been neglected and some medical bills that had to be put off. I can reconstruct a reasonably decent life--that's one fewer house in foreclosure, one less family on food stamps, one less educated worker having to scrounge at a Wal-job just to get by."

6. Great kos diary. Poster out of work from Jan 14, 2009 & for rest of year

Yet, due to programs was able to survive until a new job was available. And he knows just how fortunate he was to benefit from good programs. Good post, as he gets into specifics of costs and how he was able to stay afloat due to the fact that he and his wife had some savings and DEM policies that enabled them to stretch those savings.

That's what living in a SOCIETY is all about. To me, that's a prime tenet of the progressive philosophy--we help each other when someone is down, and everybody benefits. I am 56 years old--I've had a job since I was 12 years old. Twice now, I have collected some unemployment benefits, otherwise I have never taken (or needed) a penny of government aid. But I never felt "taken advantage of" and never begrudged paying my fair share to help make our society work.

So to all teabaggers: if you want to see some tax cuts--just file your 2009 return. There are plenty of them there.

12. Trouble is these aren't rational people- and (along with the vast majority of stooges in Congress)

aren't living in the reality based community.

I mean that quite literally- many (perhaps the majority) are living with collective delusions, and will only become even more recalcitrant when faced with these sorts of facts.

13. All of my non-politically interested friends have been saying...

"Tell Obama I said thanks for the tax cut."

It's finally starting to kick into the public's psyche.
