Happy now, liberal TRASH?!

We are equally pissed at them...

Americans have been doing that six ways to Sunday, for decades.

No, PURE Liberalism doesn't sound so bad, but the perverted fucked up version of what's out there just wants to CONTROL everyone else and take away their freedom.

Actually this is a counter clockwise turn of the screw that had been twisted in an attempt to screw "working stiffs" out of social security in the future. You see the fica tax (social security tax) was reduced from 6.2% to 4.2%, overall a 4.4% reduction in social security contributions counting employer contribution. If as stated the contribution continues for those earning over $110k, social security will be solvent for the next 72 years, which means YOU, working stiff, will collect the full benefit when you retire.

I make $14k/yr, my taxes ain't going nowhere.

So how would you possibly expect anyone to... ahem... "get up and fight", when even TALKING about it can get you visited, or even indefinitely detained?

If the Greeks had a "government" like AmeriKa, they wouldn't be quite as full of bravado.

That's because the scum-sucking "progressives" (socialists and communists) posing as liberals are no more "liberal" than the NeoCons posing as conservatives are actually "conservative".

Thomas Jefferson was a liberal. The totalitarian SCUM that we have today are neo-liberals.

well said dear

Maybe, just maybe, people wouldn't go so 'ape shit' IF they were employed, gainfully employed and not so many leeches were living off the system.

if youre crying over 2%

then all that says is "Youre broke"

you think pro wrestling is real too don't ya? rep/dem wanted the same thing here. more money...just like always. dont pick fights among each other. they are the ones that made shit worse, not your neighbor across the street that has different views than you.

As the RICH will complain the rest of us have picked up the slack and paid our over burdened share of taxes to support the U.S.
We have lost our power to make decisions as the rich are the only ones who make the calls as to who pays to support whom
So do not say it is fault of poor people it is fault of rich not caring about anything but them selves
THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT

its all bushs fault

I am an Independent. I work as a writer and I make about $28k/yr.

I don't follow politics much (I do a little. . .), but I have to wonder something:

Of all those people in the middle class who complain about tax increases, how many of them are unwilling to take blame for our current economic woes? How many of them owe debt from credit cards? How many bought cars and houses beyond their means?

I am not trying to point the finger at anybody, but let's be honest here - the biggest variable on a capitalist economy is the middle class.

In my opinion, we should have the (perceived) worst of both worlds - we should raise taxes, and we should cut spending.

In the business sector, imcreasing revenue while decreasing costs is just common sense. Why can't it be common sense in Washington?

I dont know whether to laugh or cry.

wrong its Obammies fault now.

Look at the TITLE OF THE THREAD. It was obvious to whom he was directing his comment.

Yeah, I agree...

Yep, the truth hurts doesn't it USA...

I get it.My mistake. I'm probably to quick to jump. The politicians are all so revolting and those who still believe there is a difference are at best deluded

The greatest Generation gave birth to the shittiest generation.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi aren't gen-xer's...

They are Baby Boomer Scum!

Becaue when gubmints "increase"revenue they are stealing from the productive and tranferring it to the non productive.

When private business wants to increase revenue they have to work harder,sell more, manufacture more etc..

Do you see the difference?

You know what the sad thing is in all this Democrats vs Republican fighting? The fact that most of you as Americans fail to realize that there is no such thing anymore as Democrats and Republicans. As there is no such thing as Labor Parties and Liberal Parties or Christian Democratic Parties anymore over here in Europe or where ever else.

In the past (decades ago) people voted from a social or religious background for people who at least stood for what they believed in, whether that was wrong or right in the eyes of others. Nowadays politics have become X-factor in your face media shows without any real political color (even though they still try to make us believe there is), where one-liners and degrading the opponents rule the stage.

Whether their name is Obama, Romney, Merkel, Berlusconi, Monti, Sarkozi, Hollande, Rutte, Samson or whatever, they are merely actors in a continuous world stage play, controlled by the puppet masters behind the curtain. And we as people, the audience, boo them and eachother from our red or blue tribune. It is the longest running stage play on earth, where every show is sold out till the last chair!

Of course, the current actors will be laid off too at one point in time, sooner or later, but it will only prove to be a Phyrrus Victory, because they are replaced by a new group of actors with the same masks and the same lines. And we, the audience, keep paying the entrance fees at an increasing rate.

Only when we as society start to realize that we need to find common ground and combine strenghts to end this stage play, without the burden of present political background or color and take care of those who struggle in times of need and also benefit together in times of prosperity, instead of emphasizing weakness of our fellow humans, we might have a chance to slow down the rapid derailing of that same society by those who really run the show. If we fail to see that need, this society will increase in getting colder and colder, a world without compassion for those who can not run fast enough to make it, while those in charge, the über rich oligarchs of this world, keep pulling the strings of all of us from their throne.

Bottom line: quit thinking political color, stop degrading eachother, but go from respect and finding strenghts in eachother to combine in order to make this society a better place for all. Make no mistake, we are none the same, we are all unique, with whatever skills we might have. That uniqueness is not a curse, but a blessing. It is about time we cash in those blessings by accepting eachothers uniqueness.

Of course, many of you will say I am naive in my thinking, but I rather be naïve and and die standing tall, than to give in to fear, bend over and accept what others think I should accept.

Just my, probably way to long, two cents.
