Boehner: What do we have in common with the peasants? Snort, snort

Members of Congress, such as Rep. Steve Southerland, R-Fla., believe that since members of Congress work such long hours, they should be paid more. He believes the $174,000 salary and benefits the average person would drool over are just not enough. I guess he simply forgot about the statements he has supported in the past about shared sacrifice.

  I am sure that somewhere in Rep. Southerland's constituency we could find a single mother of three who is working 60 hours a week without benefits to try to provide for her children. I am sure we could find a senior couple that has issues paying for their medication, food and other bills on Social Security alone. I guess that shared sacrifice must only apply to the average person and not the geniuses that we elect to Congress. 

GOP: It's either them or us, and we don't know how. (Snort, snort)

Do Republicans Really Want to Cut Taxes on the Wealthy and Raise Them on Everyone Else?By Howard Gleckman | Forbes – Thu, Aug 25, 2011

Of all the curious rhetoric floating around both Washington and the campaign trail, the strangest may be the demand of many Republicans that Congress raise taxes for low-income working households even as it cuts taxes for the wealthy. The left has, not surprisingly, gleefully leapt on the issue. And, honestly, it seems like terrible politics for the GOP.

Yes, and the Earth IS flat!!!!

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is calling on the so-called "mega-rich" to pay more in taxes.

Buffett said Monday in a New York Times opinion piece that he would immediately raise rates on households with taxable income of more than $1 million, and he would add an additional increase for those making $10 million or more.

He also recommends that the 12 members of Congress charged with devising a deficit-cutting plan leave rates for 99.7 percent of taxpayers unchanged.

"My friends and I have been coddled long enough by a billionaire-friendly Congress," Buffett wrote. "It's time for our government to get serious about shared sacrifice."

Buffett noted that the mega-rich pay income taxes at a rate of 15 percent on most investment income but practically nothing in payroll taxes. The middle class, meanwhile, typically falls into the 15 percent and 25 percent income tax brackets and is hit with heavy payroll taxes. He said Washington legislators "feel compelled to protect us, much as if we were spotted owls or some other endangered species."

Democrats: IRS Must Think It Is God

IRS is trying to imitate God by saying these unions are not legitimate.
       

Feds not recognizing relationship means costly workarounds come tax time       

For all those same-sex newlyweds in New York, Lawrence S. Jacobs has a message: Enjoy the Champagne and the honeymoon, but expect no gifts from the IRS. Jacobs, a lawyer in Washington, specializes in estate planning for same-sex couples — and in delivering the bad news that their unions aren’t legal in the eyes of the IRS, a policy that will cost them time and money during tax season.    

Democrats: God? GOD???? Surely Ye Jest!!!!!

DNC issues definitive ruling on its teaching:

God says it is to be man and woman...not woman and woman and not man  and man? This proves that God is prejudiced against practicing homosexuals. We don't care what God says, we do as we please.

God says do not kill the unborn and condemns abortion? Why did He make sex pleasurable then? We have to pay for it by raising a kid? We think not. Kill them before they are born. We don't care what God says, we do as we please.

GOP Justifies Why Rich Should Not Pay Taxes

GOP: It is common knowledge that the Catholic faith teaches that God willed that His faith be revealed by both the Bible and Tradition. Good, now let's talk about the GOP tradition: It is traditional that we rich people do not pay taxes. Now you cannot argue with this logic: If it's good enough for God, it is good enough for us.
