House Repugs Bill: Cut Tax for 1%, Raise Tax for 99%

His mom is white! But who cares? This guy wants to abolish the 2nd amendment! He isn't thinking rationally, isn't that right, Yoni?

I'm not sure what one has to do with the other.

the 99% of "the country" understands how such luxuary amusement allowances are fundamentally unfair, but the disenfranchised 99% has no say anymore.

The 1% runs the country for its own enrichment, owning and operating the legislators, regulators, enforcers.

Why do you keep running your mouth when some of us in that 99% completely disagree with your ranting and raving?

Stop including me in your 99%. Your 99% who think they are disenfranchised by such things are probably more like 40%.

We had a growing economy when we had two marginal rates of 15% and 28%. many of us lived an remember that period.

He voted present close to 3% of the time. Facts suck when you don't live in reality, don't they?

He rarely voted on anything controversial.

Most the votes in congress are simple things like renaming post offices. His voting patterns would have affected the 2008 elections if he actually voted on hot topics.

the low turnout in US elections, way lower than other industrial democracies, says Americans disenfranchise themselves. The ones that vote thinking their votes count for anything against the 1%, the UCA, are simpletons, suckers, myth believers, etc.

the only votes that count are the $Bs by the 1% and Corps used to bribe, buy legislators, regulators, enforcers, judges.

You mean from 1988 to 1991, when the economy screeched to a halt and dipped into recession, forcing GHW Bush to break his promise to not raise taxes, which was immediately followed by one of the largest economic expansions in American History?

Many us of lived and remember that period a lot better than you, apparently.

Gotta love the fact that every later generation is eventually going to pay taxes out the ass to make up for the baby boomer tax holiday of the past 30 years.

I'm already looking forward to it.

This inspired a friend of mine on google plus to create a graph.

OK, well, it comes out better on a phone.
