    but none of it will be coming out of yours so you're okay with it?

    Cigar can you please explain how tax cuts caused the Mortgage Markets to collapse?

    Sorry. Mr. Cigar never replies to any answers that might cause himself, the DNC or any member of the Obama clan any form of embarrassment., indignity or snot to dribble.

    Please forward your question to one capable and willing to provide an answer; having a brain that works is an asset

    That trillion dollar number looks impressive, Blad, until one realizes that it is a totally grab ass guess over a long period when all we know for sure is the much more short term estimate by CBO that it MIGHT raise $100 billion per year assuming that the rich all the sudden lose their proven skill in tax avoidance, which is also nonsense.

    And tell us Blad, just where is Mr. Obama offering any real spending cuts, and NO I don't mean lower spending increases, as a compromise for this tax increase. Nope, just another one-sided Obama non-compromise exercise in fanning divisive class warfare and squeezing the already primary payers of the tax burden more.

    This has nothing to do with any serious attempt to do anything about the disastrous ObamaDeficits and everything to do with yours, and his, obsession with class warfare and hatred. That's all it is and that is why you harp on it incessantly while dodging the question of where the spending cuts are.

    If you're wondering if i pay my taxes, yes. I do. It comes out of my pocket. And i don't whine about it. I don't like how it's spent, but i don't whine about paying my tax bill. It's part of living here in America.

    If you aren't going to help, then you are hindering. If you don't think we're in this together, then you're the one struggling with reality. If you don't like sharing the load, pull out.

    Oh my, so even you, a liberal, don't like how your taxes are being spent, BUT YOU STILL HAVE NO PROBLEM empowering that same entity that you don't like how their spending YOUR tax dollars, to grab MORE tax dollars from people, to be spent............where???????

    LMAO! This is just nuts.

    "I don't like how they spend my tax dollars, BUT I want tem to take more of other people's money. For what, I don't know, it just sounds like the right thing to do."

    If you don't like how your tax dollars are being spent, then what in God's name are you doing empowering the same government to take more money away from people????????? This is crazy man, just crazy.

That's all it is and that is why you harp on it incessantly while dodging the question of where the spending cuts are.
    I really don't recall "dodging" any spending-cut questions. But whatever you want... I don't know exactly what spending cuts Obama has suggested, honestly. But i've already said, and you know this, that increased tax revenue plus serious spending cuts is the only realistic way to attack this problem. If Obama and his democrats refuse to offer those cuts, they're just as failed as the GOP and their bull-headed mindset.

    This phrase, "class warfare" really sends a tingle up your leg, apparently. You use it all the time, yet all you can as "proof" is an expectation that the 2% pay the pre-bush tax-cut rate that they paid back then. Was it "class warfare" then? I don't remember anyone pissing their pants about it then. But now... you and your broken-record rant cry out for the pain that the rich will quietly bear. You and i both know, as you mentioned in your first paragraph, that these guys will find their way to circumvent a portion of that. In fact, i would bet that they'd enjoy the challenge.
