I'm confused.. Can you recheck my post and show me where I said which group was doing what? Why did you assume I was talking about OWS on student loans?
How do you lower middle class tax rates? You would have to go to zero. Check the forms. $50,000/year 2 kids. ZERO FEDERAL TAX LIABILITY. I'll do you one better, they actually GET A REFUND OF $48. Now, let's go to extremes.. Go ahead, tax the millionairs as suggested.. I'm okay with that. Let's go really rediculous and tax them at 100% of thier total income and take all thier property, you come up with about 700 billion dollars. Now what? You need twice that to break even.
Here is a clue that most people miss as well. Companies don't pay taxes, never have, never will. Raise the tax rate on a company, they raise prices to the consumer. Okay, now we've delt with those evil rich people and the evil companies. How should be cover the other 700 billion? Wait, did you actually believe that raising the tax rate on the rich would even the deficit? Really? Have you ever looked at what raising the tax rate to 50% would actually bring in? Do you think that's air your breathing now? And on the subject of Rush.. He's on in the afternoons. I'm at work during that time, don't get a chance to listen.
Let me hit on the oil company subsidies... Since you obviously haven't done any homework, let me help you out. Often times those CEO's are sitting in front of congress and have repeatedly stated they no longer need ethenol subsidies. They are perfectly fine with removing any subsidies as long as it's removed from ALL oil companies in the United States. Betcha didn't know that there are hundreds of oil companies, not just three. Democrats want to remove subsidies from SPECIFIC COMPANIES, not the "oil industry". Tell me one thing you NEED that isn't/can't be provided. I would bet all you come up with is WANTS. In that spirit, how would you define spoiled little bitch?
