Courtesy of both the Demorats — for the demand — and the Republicans, for lack of a spine.
Mitch McConnell, the blithering idiot, said “the tax issue is finished.” (Full transcript here.)
Uh, no — you moron — no, it’s not.
It’s barely started.
My first paycheck of the year just got lowered by $200 via additional taxes. I get paid bi-weekly, so at this point I’m initially losing a minimum of $400 a month. So far. The month is young.
That translates to: I’ve just initially lost the equivalent of one car payment a month. So my chance of purchasing another car? ZERO.
From “Face The Nation” this past Sunday, The NanceMeister weighs in:
Did you listen closely? McConnell thinks he’s won. And Pelosi baldly states that the Demorats are out for “tax reform” and “increased revenue.”
SCHIEFFER: Do you then agree with the Republican leader in the Senate, Mr. McConnell, who says we’re done now with the taxing side of it; now we have to concentrate on spending? Is that done now?
PELOSI: No.
SCHIEFFER: Is the revenue side of it taken care of yet?
PELOSI: No, no, it is not. I mean, the president had said originally he wanted $1.6 trillion in revenue. He took it down to $1.2 as a compromise. In this legislation we had $620 billion, very significant, high-end tax — changing the high-end tax rate to 39.6 percent. But that is not enough on the revenue side. We’ve already agreed to $1 trillion in spending cuts, over $1 trillion in spending cuts.
SCHIEFFER: So what are you talking about there? Are you talking about more taxes?
PELOSI: We’re talking about looking at the tax code, putting everything on the table from the standpoint of closing loopholes — and we know that we can do that — special subsidies for big oil, for example, $38 billion right there. But again, not to take things in isolation, just to say, OK, well, how much more revenue can we get as we go forward?
SCHIEFFER: Are you then saying to the upper classes, get ready; you’re going to have to pay some more; this is not the end of it?
PELOSI: Well, I’m saying that’s not off the table.
SCHIEFFER: That’s not off the table?
PELOSI: That’s not off the table. But not in terms of tax rates but in terms of other considerations.
SCHIEFFER: You’re talking about deductions and other things.
PELOSI: And the rest.
$800 billion dollars already acquired in taxes. The Demorats want another TRILLION dollars in taxes this year. Where? From YOUR pocket. Americans, to the thoughts of the Demorats, are still insufficiently taxed.
Am I a mega-millionaire? Hardly. I’m “middle class.” And — thanks to Mr Obama and Demorats — my ass is already on fire with the initial additional taxes. The precise strata, Mr Obama, that you swore wouldn’t be affected. You damned LIAR.
Even CNBC says the tax code may be the “most progressive since 1979.” Hello? Jimmy Carter? Anyone? Bueller?
Even Obama supporters find themselves “shocked” and “angry” at the new tax increases.
Yes indeed. That’s how stupid are Obama supporters.
You mean he actually wants Cloward-Piven? He actually wants taxes to skyrocket?

So: how much did YOU lose on your first paycheck of the year?

Ugly Demorats laugh profoundly at the stupidity of the American Electorate.
I just sent the link to this post to my Congressional Rep, and everyone else in Rowlett that votes…
My Rep voted FOR this Obama Tax *fiscal cliff* BS and I thought your post expressed the real feelings of most Conservatives even better than I could…
You may get a few hits from this one… 😈
Thanks kindly, sir!

Got a social security raise. Also got a premium increase on the insurance I have no choice in purchasing. About a wash. First paycheck of the new year from the part time job is down about 5%.
One of the bigger repo outfits called. Think their business will be increasing and want to hire experienced spotters.
Yeah, the economy is just “peachy”.
Repo peeps are about to do staggeringly-well this year.

Just twittered this. You lost a car payment a month? Well, so much for me saving up to fix the car I have. Looks like the Left will get it’s wish of stagnating the economy by not letting anyone have the money they earn in order to spend it the way they want/need.
The tipping point is closer than I thought.
BTW Cary, at this point, the initial loss to me equates to $5,800 per year. That’s as of now. There are MORE tax increases coming.

Pelosi can go you know what herself up you know where! I would love to see her alone up against Alabama’s front four! Damn!!!!
Nice thought, won’t happen.
American Idiots keep voting her in.
This is all going to have to fold like a bad pack of cards.
BZ
Dunno yet, still waiting on the first check… sigh… and yeah, it’s NOT over…
I’d be curious as to YOUR hit.
BZ
I need to wait to see my first real pay check. Since I was gone from work due to my daddy’s illness.
So, I got a small check yesterday.
This post is a wake-up call!! Whew! And Yikes!
And, Leticia, welcome to your new 2013 Cash Paradigm.
– More money to the Fed;
– More money to the Parasites;
With that in mind, you need:
– Harder work; and
– More of it
The Parasites are demanding it!
Get to work, damn you!

Piglosi is ugly enough, but WHO THE F### is that in back of her? Looks like somebody beat the shit out of her with an ugly stick.
Where in Hell does Piglosi get off claiming that they have already agreed to a trillion in cuts? Show me a frigging nickel of actual spending cuts you ugly cow! REAL CUTS, not just budgeting even higher so that you can “give” a little of it up later. THAT IS N O T CUTTING ANYTHING!!!!
Damned demorat math pisses me off!
There are NO cuts. However, you must remember that a “cut” to a Demorat means that you’ve simply not increased a given budget. Keeping it the same from fiscal year to fiscal year is considered a “cut.”

I just read a staggering report this morning, that 128 million Americans are now on entitlement government programs, and with Obama’s continuance to spend, spend, and spend, we are all doomed! Robbing Peters to pay Paul just don’t work.
It seems as if the cancer of Socialism is alive and well in America.
First, thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment.
It’s what Mr Obama does, clearly.
