Don't worry, the woking middle classes, if that even exists anymore, will bear the brunt. Just kinda goes to show that Keynesian 'spend, spend, spend' is a flawed concept. |

R.I.P. for the real Wubbo Ockels. He was a true icon of my country, and a great front-fighter for sustainable energie/technology and humanism. "Yes, we have hurdles, we have distractions, we have disasters, personally and world-wide, and we do have to work it all out ourselves. BUT, there is a most amazing experience awaiting us on the other end of the finish-line. The idea being, once we can handle it all down here, then we can live and explore eternally, responsibly, because we know what not to do, and not be resentful about being responsible, so we don't start a polarity domino effect in the other realms of existence." "The Fraction" of Life can be increased in value not so much by increasing your Numerator as by lessening your Denominator. Nay, unless my Algebra deceive me, Unity itself divided by Zero will give Infinity." Thread: LADIES & GENTLEMEN: I PRESENT to YOU OUR NEW SUN !! |

Everyone knows that one way or another there gonna be a deal. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31073143 I don't think there will be a last minute deal like usual. They'll let us roll over this fiscal pothole to scare everyone and a couple weeks later Obama will cut taxes for the poor and middle class. Regardless of any tax increases or spending cuts, the US is still bankrupt and the dollar is well on its way to becoming worthless. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 21906203 United States 12/29/2012 10:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was reading yesterday, until Jan. 1st 2013, people who made 5 mil a year were taxed at 35%, this year people who make 1 mil a year will pay 55% in taxes. That's insane. I have nothing against making a lot of money, some of those ppl workd very hard to earn that kind of money. Not everyone cheated or stole to get it. |
WAKEUPAMERICA01 User ID: 31042304 United States 12/29/2012 10:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | who cares maybe this is the reset button so many have been waiting for. whats going to happen at midnight we all going to turn back into pumpkins or something, world gonna stop turning. Don't think so. Taxes are going to go up either way wether we go off the cliff or not. The problem in DC is not a revenue problem it is a spending problem. They always need more of your money to fund the projects and programs to keep the gov. alive so they can continue to get larger and larger reducing everything around them to shambles and ruins. These idiots on both sides of the aisle and in all branches of the gov. seem to have the best pay, best healthcare, best pensions, the most perks ever recorded in the US history, and they are worried about gun control and passing more laws, taxes and regulations. Its ok to do it to the peons but don't infringe on their deals and their ways of living. Didn't most gov. workers just get a raise. What a joke. The writing is on the wall and it seems that most folks forgot how to read and comprehend.

I have a feeling there won't be a decision regarding tax rates, credit extensions and patches till January or February. Lots of low and middle income peeps won't be able to get their refunds (if any due) till then. |

If this occurs, the tax cuts will not expire, tax increases won’t take effect, and the spending cuts will be delayed until after the presidential inauguration and new Congress arrives in 2013. |
