Thanks to that good government job.

[actinanass]

Congratulations !!!


But, are you proud of your success, or are you bemoaning it ???

I was 15% last year at the same salary. So, I'm not feeling this shit.

You should be happy to pay. After all, War, death, rape and murder is what you love most. I say, next time, keep an eye on our buildings like the WTC like you're supposed to rather than reading My Pet Goat to kids. Fucking up our airlines now we got to take off our shoes and entire families have to get xrayed through their clothes by creepy ass criminal types in the TSA.

Also, know there is WMD before you spend our taxes looking for shit that don't exist. Now we are borrowing billions from COMMUNISTS in China to keep a free nation free.

Actually, that's not even true anymore. China is taking states one by one. They got Detroit, MI because we ain't making the payments. Christie is serving up parts of Jersey as payment. Closing the government down to the tune of 24 BILLION didn't help your case either.

Now the bill is due. Pay up teabagger.

The saddest thing about this quote is the fact that you thought it was a smart response. I'll pray for ya.

He shouldn't worry then. His chosen party is working hard to kill his good government job so he'll be back down in the lower brackets as soon as they can make it happen.

Then take the pay cut. Let your actions match your rhetoric.

Seems to me if he is now married, he should be taking advantage of a multitude of tax credits.

You need to find a good accountant or do as UD suggested.

Conservatives are always complaining!

He knows I'm correct. CACS and their ass biscuits spent America's surplus faster than Usain Bolt could run the 100 yard dash then stood behind the American flag thinking no one would notice. Fuck it, we noticed. When the unemployment rate tipped 10 percent for whites and 38 percent for black folk, ass biscuits decided they would blow smoke by putting the blame on President Obama.

1. I'm pissed because my taxes have went up. It doesn't matter if I'm married, or not. My taxes went up. I like my money.

2. I have a busy life. The days of me coming on here arguing with people are dead. I'm mostly reading, working out, and spending time with my wife. If it seems that I'm drive by posting, you have the right to believe it. I really don't give a fuck.

3. There's nothing about Vegas comment that was correct. He/she is just babbling like the folks on this forum do when they think they are right. Again, I'm just going to pray for the man/woman.

4. I would be happy if my salary went up. If I was happy, I wouldn't be posting this in the first place. The sad part is, people on this board are happy about paying more taxes. I'm not happy if I do not agree with where the money is going. We all have different beliefs.

5. This is not an anti-tax post. I do not mind paying taxes if I agree with how the money is spent. I can even tolerate some spending programs I do not agree with. However, I can't stand the overspending, and waste that's going on now. Again, it's my beliefs versus yours *people who are ganging up to post on here*.

Be happy that you live in Texas and don't pay state taxes cuzz. Sheesh. Be grateful for a change. Besides, paying taxes is the patriotic thing to do. I thought conservatives love being the standard bearers of Patriotism.

No?

you didn't read 4, and 5 huh?

This has nothing to do about paying taxes. I have no issues about paying taxes when I know where most of my tax dollars are going to. This wasn't an anti-tax rant. I was simply pointing out how the tax brackets are changing this year. I was also pointing out that even if I didn't get married *to a black woman btw*, my rates would of went up anyway. I know that there's tax credits I could use. I was focusing on the rates because not everyone have dependents like that.

If you look at the single bracket, anyone making above $36,900 would be paying 25%. Last year, it was people who made more than $80k. That's a significant increase.

I thought it was common knowledge that I was a proud Texan. That's why Thought always try to put my state down. He/she tries to bate me into a discussion about my state policies. As if I agree with 100% of my state policies.

One thing I forgot to mention, republican George Jr. cut taxes for millionaires and Billionaires at the same time proposing going to war in TWO nations. After we bust up the place, we have to then pay to fix their infrastructure, schools, water, power, oil and shit. WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT. And that bullshit change in their constitution Bush told you Iraq would vote in? Never existed. Another right wing lie. Shit is the same as before and our gas bill has never been higher.

Cut the taxes for those best equipped to pay for those bullshit wars and put the responsibility on the middle class, the poor and the communist China. Don't see how you didn't see any of this bill coming due. Been trying to tell you these jokers on foxnoise have been lying to you but racists had a better solution for you and you accepted it.

Vegas, I've already address my issues with this matter. Notice how I didn't put any programs I disagree with because this only becomes a partisan argument. The main point is, taxes are going up. You can bitch about this war, and I can bitch about this spending program. The fact is, the bill is due, and both of our sides are responsible. I'm pretty much done with the blame game. I'm not going to sit here, and defend my ideology. I know what I believe is right. If that wasn't true, you would of ignored this post. Again, I will pray for you.

Both sides? I was there and so were you! Clinton left the nation a surplus. Rising tides and all that shit. That was the pre-HNIC tin cup days. Clinton left us a SURPLUS. Stock market, construction, college enrollment, JOBS, fuckin' boomin'. HNIC said, fuck a tin cup, I'll buy my own steak. Now he got to use a can opener to eat.

I remember getting a decent tax return during Clinton. So do you!. So don't give me the, "I know what I believe" speech. Because you are just keeping up appearances for your fake cracka friends. Its fake and like I said, we were both there. So if you are believing anything different about this recent history, you are as dumb as the dumbest cracka. And you ain't supposed to be that. Your birthright says you're not.

But be my guest. Go ahead and bitch about the spending. Its what I've been talking about this entire time. Bush Jr. like all republicans run up the debt, spend us into recession and told those in his inner circle, Romney 47 percent style, they would not have to pay for it. That he would not only not make the middle class pay, he would cut the rich tax rate.

Fuck 'em we got fox news to keep bullshit rollin' and they won't have mental capacity to see it was us that fucked up.

On you, that shit worked.

Bush Jr. the "socialist-in-chief" used HIS WTC bombing to scare what was a peaceful nation to accept socializing republican debt. The debt HE ran up on some bullshit his administration cooked up. Oh yeah, his ass biscuits spent another 24 plus BILLION on top of that when they shut down the federal government to scapegoat a credit card debt you know we had to eventually pay...fucking up our credit rating to boot. So go head and bitch about spending. I see where the stock market is today vs.where it was during republican rule.

The only thing I was against Clinton was the cutting of the military. I understood it, but I was against it. Funny how you're not talking about President Obama. I wished the President did work with republicans like Clinton did. Honestly, Clinton probably had the easiest presidency in the last 50 years if you look at the things he actually had to deal with.

BTW, I have the tax refund quote in bold because that's the fundamental difference in our thinking. You are looking for refunds while I'm looking to keep more of my money on a monthly basis. I would be satisfied getting less money back from taxes if I got 10% more in monthly salary.

Texas Lead The Nation In Minimum Wage Jobs

Texas Cops Suspended for Homeless Sign Competition

Two police officers in Texas spent weeks competing to see who could take the most cardboard signs away from homeless people, even though panhandling doesn't violate any city law.

Nearly two months after the Midland Police Department learned of the game, the two officers, Derek Hester and Daniel Zoelzer, were suspended for three days without pay, according to findings of the internal affairs investigation obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request.

Homeless persons' advocate groups immediately blasted the department's handling, suggesting that the punishment wasn't harsh enough and that the probe should have been made public much earlier.

The two officers, who did not appeal their suspensions, have been with the department about two years. They both returned emails from the AP declining to be interviewed.

According to the investigation report, eight signs were found in the trunk of Hester's patrol car on Nov. 20 and Zoelzer had thrown the about 10 signs he had confiscated into a city trash container after Hester called him to warn him he had been reprimanded by his superior for having the signs.

The contest between Hester, 25, and Zoelzer, 26, was alluded to in text messages on Nov. 21 obtained by the AP — although it was unclear which of the officers sent each message.

"My bad man when he first ask me about it he didn't seem mad or anything so I just told him me and u were (m)aking a game outta it when we'd trespass them and stuff," one text read.

Another read, "Man this is some bs."

You just say the most bizarre things to me.
Clinton did cut the military budget but it was hugely bloated from decades Cold War spending and Clinton's cuts came on the heels of Bush's cuts.
As a Republican, you are supposed to be about fiscal responsibility. What could you possibly see wrong with cutting the budget of a department that needed cutting since the threat it was built up for no longer existed?

Your revision of history is also funny. How can a presidency that included a partisan impeachment procession be seen as "easy"?

You have to know, even if you don't admit it, that the problem has never been Obama working with the Republicans but the Republicans planning from the beginning to block him at every turn.

40 years of over $1 Trillion dollars of military spending preparing for the extinction of humankind rapped up in the justification of battling the Soviet Union.

Once the Soviets were no longer an issue, we were suppose to get a so called peace dividend. Well that was a joke. GW Bush decided that we needed a new enemy. The Muslims.

Finally President Obama is doing something to wean us off of this perpetual war mindset.

You can't expect Act A Dumb Ass to understand such logic.

Here's the other disconnect I have with this board. People on here like to try to deconstruct an ideology they do not agree with. Yes, republicans are suppose to be fiscally responsible. However, we are suppose to protect our country as well. National security is one of the biggest issues Republicans run/win at. This is why cutting taxes, and spending in certain areas are so important. Something you just do not want to accept/understand.

President Obama biggest mistake, in my opinion, is the fact that he did not include TORT reform in the AHCA. He did not established the political cover, in case, things went rough in the first few months of the law's existence. It's the president's job to gather bipartisan support, and work with both sides. Every president has to do it, so why's President Obama the exception?

BTW, do not give me the "well the republicans won't do this" nonsense. Do you think the Democrats wanted to work with Reagan at all? How about Bush Jr? How about Nixon?

Oh, I forgot, Clinton got betrayed by his own party.

THIS!

The other thing is, republicans love to post up republicans from the 80's to contrast the shit they are doing to the country today. No republican back then would dare say shit like a man should be allowed to rape a woman because it not the same as her aborting an unborn child. Fact is, democrats DID work with Reagan and the republicans. They would out out and be seen together in public because more than party, the health and wealth of the nation was priority.

These ass biscuits today are a bunch of reality show pinheads who have NO PROBLEM dumping shit in the waters of West Virginia. Tap water not supposed to smell like licorice. Then when the American people of WV drink and bathe in that shit, they offered up domino pizza to show they mean no harm. They are going to be sick in a few years.

Fuck these republicans. Fuck em for what they did to Iraq, the treasury, American and iraqi families, the American business climate where stores shut down everywhere. Housing market, etc. Fuck repubs for what they did and continue to do to this nation. And not only do you not want to pay for the shit you did, but you want there to be limits on what these same assholes pay in damages for fucking things up.

This is what they mean by tort reform. They want to know in advance what out of pocket expenses would be when we get people in a small town having babies with no reproductive systems or born without a spine. It becomes just another line item in the budget for when they fuck up another city or town. Yes. You made the bill and we have to pay. So do you! If there is in any reform to be had, it is republicans spending us into the grave yard.
