We need the fair tax!!
Will our taxes be raised? Hrm. Is the Pope Catholic? That's all I have for now. Great show Greta! You should do a show in Omaha....no really, I'm serious.
OMG! Are you kidding? Obama's actions since January leave no option but to raise taxes. Deficit spending will lead to higher taxes and inflation.
If we could impeach him we should. To Know Obam is to Say No to Obama!
Whether health care reform passes or not taxes will go up for every american, some in direct taxes and others in increased costs of services. You are probably looking at increased taxes to the tune of at least one third more than they are at the present time.
I thouroughly believe that the illegal president Terrorist Obama will raise taxes and do everthing to try and bring down the USA. I am in total favor for the tea parties. Say no to health care and Obammies gangsters and Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi should be sent on a real nice cruise together. They deserve it. Ofcourse I would hope and pray the cruise ship would sink. From the old times"happiness would be seeing a picture of the three of them on the back of a milk cartoon
My taxes have already been raised by $1,512 by the state of New York in the form of property tax increase and the lack of "rebate" of the star program.
The star rebate thing was very clever of the politicians. Rather than reducing the tax rate years ago they gave a "rebate" so everyone could feel good about their gov't. Of course, they were able to shut the "rebate" down on a seconds notice.
The fact is that I am so heavily taxed by the state of NY that I pay very little to the Feds. My local and state tax exemptions pretty much innoculate me to a Fed tax increase.
Obama is the most dishonest politician this country has ever hired.
Regards,
I am 21 years old- a college senior- and I have always been taught that the only way I am going to get where I want to go in life is by putting in the maximum effort into everything I do. Having just been accepted to a Masters in Accounting program, I am beginning to question why I am working so hard. I wonder if hard work will really pay off for my generation, and in particular those of us entering the business world. If Obama and the far left demonize hardworking young people in industries such as business (or health care, and other higher paying industries) while at the same time excessively PROVIDING for high school drop-outs, college drop-outs, and others who end up in union-type jobs... WHERE IS OUR INCENTIVE?? I know this question seems extreme, but it's not the first time I've caught myself wondering where the respect for hardworking HIGH-ACHIEVING Americans has gone.
schip...as a smoker my taxes have already gone up and for what? Health care for children (illegals!?) medicaid what is it for!? FAIR TAX that is the way to go!!!! Taxed Enough Already
The solution to all of this seems so simple: Give us our taxes back, let US use that money to buy our health care, to trade in our clunker, etc etc. Instead of the FEDERAL government deciding what is best for our personal lives, how about never taking the money from us in the first place? If we aren't responsible enough to use that money toward our needs (like healthcare), then that's our own fault. At minimum, at least let the STATES decide what its residents want and need. That way, Americans who want extreme regulation and goverment oversight can move to states that provide it, while others can move to states like Texas which believes in a free market and low taxes. OBAMA YOU ARE FROM CHICAGO AND YOU ARE SO NAIVE TO THE FACT THAT MOST OF THE COUNTRY IS NOTHING LIKE CHICAGO. WE DO NOT THINK LIKE YOU. WE DO NOT LIVE LIKE YOU. WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOUR SOCIALIST POLICY.
HE LIED!!! I KNEW HE WAS LYING, SO I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM, HE IS ABNABLE! WE ARE IN TROUBLE! I THINK HE HAS COMMITTED TREASAN. HE SWORE TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, INSTEAD HE WANTS TO THE ANNUL THE CONSTITUTION. WE SHOULD IMPEACH HIM AND TAR AND FEATHER ALL HIS CZARS!!
Honest to God, I can truly say that I don't believe a single thing that comes out of Obama's mouth. And I don't understand how anyone out there can possibly trust him. Cannot believe we're not even 1/4 of the way through this administration yet.
HE LIED!!! I KNEW HE WAS LYING, SO I DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM, HE IS ABANABLE! WE ARE IN TROUBLE! I THINK HE HAS COMMITTED TREASON. HE SWORE TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, INSTEAD HE WANTS TO ANNUL THE CONSTITUTION. WE SHOULD IMPEACH HIM AND TAR AND FEATHER ALL HIS CZARS!!
To dorian mcbride: No offense and with the utmost respect, you are paying a use tax for continuing to smoke. This is a tax you pay by choice. You choose to smoke. I do not. But I choose to drive ...and I pay gas taxes. Each are our respecticve choices, ...and vices. So call it a tax on socially acceptable vices.
Income taxes are not paid by choice. They are mandated to be assessed and paid on our wages. Income taxes will double in the next ten years to fund the Obama deficits. Smoking by choice will not stop this inevitability. Neither will taxes paid on gas. This administration is Out Of Control! To Know Obama is to Say No to Obama! We must take our country back.
This is a no brainer. Why do you think that there are Tea Parties and people who generally roll with the flow, coming out at the Town Halls. They can see it coming and when it does it won't be pretty. It will just kill us. I can not imagine where this administration gets the gahoonas to force government down the throats of Americas with a :\ straight face. The only thing Obama has told the truth about is Change and that is what he has done. His polls numbers reflect just how unhappy we are with the 9 trillion in debt for generations to come.
Obama is a lier and a crook from Chicago. Typical Chicago mob style politics that he is bringing to Washington. He and all of his cronies need to go. I hate to think we have to wait until the next election but hope the people will clean house in Washington. I mean everybody goes and start over with new people.
of course, they will be raised - otherwise, how do they have a chance to pay off :-( DUMB DEMS so very STUPID...................................
On the news tonight it was announced that the 2.7 or 2.9% c.o.l. increase for Government employees , he reduced to 2% above what they now earn. That is quite a bit more than Social Security recipents would have gotten, BUT Obama withheld the cost of living increase for the retirees. Is he discriminating against the elderly? Retirees have expenses to live as same as the government workers. Before the election he said he was for change, but did not divulge what he had in mind.
If they raise them, I'm not paying em...........enough is enough and they can take that to the bank!!!!!!!!!!!! Or NOT
I think that there will be a tax increase on EVERYTHING, before it's over! Congress and the Pres. have deceived the people and are still trying to do it! Our country is in such a mess and MOST of it has been at the hands of our present Administration~!! Untruthful, anti-american, unconstitutional, and frankly, just down right arrogant!!! None of what I have said is 'racial!' It wouldn't matter if there was a caucasian, Republican in office, right is right, and so far, they have been wrong, wrong, wrong~!!!
There was a previous comment on Obama wanting to 'annul the constitution.' If this is true, all Americans who want to be free and keep our country free had better get organized to IMPEACH him and his czars!!!! WE need to get our 'esteemed' demigods of elected officials removed from the Congress, too! Let's start over from scratch and get this country back!!!

Kiddo, you have a lot to learn! I am a conservative Republican, don't consider myself to be a far right loon. I was a union worker for 35 years. Mine was not a closed shop. Ours was a 24/7 job, which means we worked nights, weekends and holidays. Yes, even Christmas. Union workers are not PROVIDED for as you seem to imply. I earned every dime and every benefit I received. You can slam union workers all you want, but you would not find dedicated workers for my profession without union representation. I was the child of a share cropper and migrant worker, but I am the mother of a child who has a doctorate, so Missy, you can get down off your High Horse! You have a lot to learn. God bless.
I have been a tax paying overseascitizen (now senior retiree) and pay in my home country of Israel as well. I get the privilege of passport and nothing more. I, and the thousands I represent as Chairman of American and Canadian Association Seniors, need my social security and with the weakening dollar do not know how we will make ends meet if taxes rise. There are thousands of us all over the world but only in Israel and the Phillipines do we pay taxes to two countries. Please note we DO NOT HAVE ANY REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS OR THE SENATE. We should have tea parties for real! Hope someone out there reads this and has an idea or two for us. Marcia Lewison
With unemployment up so high the tax revanue will be lower then it has been in years. To the point where they are not going to be able to pay for the gov. programs establishted before Obama took office. Even if the health care bill fails and they paid back all the stimlus money they are still going to have to raise taxes in order to pay for everything. I mean while all of us sat down with our families and discussed what we were going to have to do with out. Our Gov. gave themselves a pay raise. Now the funny part of that was their reasioning for it. I may be wrong but I do believe their reason was due to the rise in the cost of living their in Washington D.C. Now with the housing market in a downward spirial how in the world is Washington D.C. housing market going up. Please explain to me. Sorry for ranting but yes all of our taxes are going to go up, and it is going to happen soon.
Listen up and get this straight. Pelosi, Obama, Reid, Frank & Dodd are all combined into one giant, stinking, corrupt, pile of SHIT. These ass holes are lower than the scum on the bottom of a septic tank. The only real difference is, the septic tank scum is more honorable and honest than the shit eating liars, Pelosi, Obama, Reid, Frank & Dodd.
I wish I could remember where I read this or if I heard in on a talk show, but they stated that the way the Democrats get rich is by taxing us. No wonder they all don't read the bills...they don't care...they have everything they need...including enough money to pay the taxes they pass.
Obama is comming after all your money, if he can't get it by taxing your he will take your bank account! I am spending my little bit of retirement saving.
Of course taxes will go up. Those who blindly believed what B.O. said during the campaign are hopefully now waking up to what they really voted for. There was never any doubt that taxes will go up for everyone because it has always been the intent of B.O. and the Dems to let the Bush tax cuts expire so we all will have our taxes raised soon. My oh my, what a howl we will hear coming from across the country as people get their first paychecks with those repealed tax cuts back in there. And, there is no way more tax increases can be avoided as they are already talking more taxes to pay for all their socialist programs. Why can't this be 2010 already....we need to throw them ALL out and start over again.
Please, everyone.......stick together and throw them ALL out in 2010! WE must save our country!
How can they not? ... obama and his congress do NOT know how to STOP SPENDING! ... and spare the "it's the other guy that did it." That ship has sailed and excuse is very very kindergartenish

I think Natalie has a valid argument............the way Obama is trying to steer this country, what is the purpose of trying to educate yourself so that you can make a lot of money? Obama is slowly trying to limit salaries of high level employees, and that just does not come anywhere near passing the smell test....that is just toooooo much government intervention. And yes the government does reward those who do not try to get an education and support themselves. It's all a part of the big plan, make the citizens dependent on you, but, somewhere down the line the country will run out of other people's money. You don't have to be too smart the figure this out.
Older and Wiser, I worked the same 24/7 hours, all holidays, week-ends, on call, that you did and was not a union worker. "You can slam union workers all you want, but you would not find dedicated workers for my profession without union representation". That statement is definitely not true, and is an insult to all those who are not union workers, believe it or not, we have the same, if not better, work ethic. Wise up!!!
i do believe it will be sooner than 2 yrs.
Greta, Have Peter Schiff on your show along with Steve Moore. Both these guys are so smart it is incredible to listen to them. Smart guys are a Rating Bonanza.
