How Will Extending The Bush Tax Cuts Cost The Government Money?

[red states rule]

I keep hearing this talking point from Dems and their supporters in the liberal media

How will extending the Bush tax cuts "cost" the government money? The rates are staying the same.

Now the government sees the flow of revenue drop when fewer people are not working and not paying taxes.

By keeping the tax rate where they are (it would be better if the rates were further decreased) will ave no impact on the current revenue flowing into DC

No wonder libs hate Fox News - they are asked hard questions and not allowed to duck and spin

Anthony Weiner has a meltdown when put on the spot. Weiner must want to take over Alan Grayson's title as top liberal moonbat

That betrays the way the Democrats think. They see your money as their money and how dare you keep it from them!

After all, you aren't paying your fair share in taxes! But don't pay attention to the fact that each year your fair share is more than the previous year's.

It's ironic, isn't it? Since the compromise struck by Obama with the Republicans, the Democrats have become the "party of 'no'".

I believe hate is NOT too strong a word for how I feel when I watch that congressman from NY. Everything he stands for in that piece betrays his vile, evil, morally-wrong viewpoints. Sorta proofs a couple things to me:

1) our country is beyond hope - people VOTED for that guy.
2) Parents sometimes don't love their kids enough to beat that sorta thing OUT of them.

There are 2 people who, regardless of any consequences, if I get within arms reach I will slap up beside the head so hard their grandkids will get dizzy...this idiot Weiner is one of them...that idiot Pelosi is the other.

The one that really gets to me is the inheritance tax. The radical dipsticks on the left, like Wiener, claim that the government should get nearly half of all inheritace dollars because "you didn't work for it."

These same goons also claim that not allowing the government to raid inheritance dollars the way they do now is going to add to the deficit. This is total and complete bunk and it is insulting that the arrogant little scumbags toss it out there.

It's proof positive that they have no interest in nor intention of cutting spending. They have designs to spend trillions of additional dollars over the next several years and are going to oppose anything they think interferes with that plan.

I asked a liberal at work today to expalin to me how keeping the tax rates at the same level would "cost" the government the money Dems are claiming.

His answer was how much two wars, GITMO, and Wall St bailouts cost the government

No matter how many times I tried to get him answer my question - he kept talking about other things

Trying to debate a liberal is like running head first across the room and smashing your head into the wall

It accomplishes nothing and hurts like hell

Nice link, RSR.

He definitely didn't like answering the question about the inheritance tax, and his analogy definitely didn't work with the comparison to Casino winnings.

Dead people's money is their money and they want to spend it. He dodged the fairness question altogether and said they're going to tax it - PERIOD!

Yep, that congressman has a real bad attitude and needs to find a new job. Megyn whipped his ass, nicely done!

Only in the upside world of Liberville, is it normal for a person to work all their lives, pay taxes out the ass, still manage to accumlate wealth, continue to pay taxes, build up a nestwegg to pass onto your family, continue to pay taxes, and when you die your family should gladly hand over as much as 55% of the deceased persons wealth in addition to all the taxes that have already been paid on that wealth
