Obamarama

you forgot lackadabona, and if it lasts more than 4 hours, you can smack it with a prescription of tongue depressers

Within two years of his administration, first the White House Chief of Staff resigns and now the National Security Advisor to Obama resigns today.

Looks like the "Rats are Leaving the Sinking Ship"!

It is interesting to see some key people resigning. It is also interesting to see the posturing that is going on right now. Many democrats that really supported Obama 2 years ago are distancing themselves from him now. I wonder how they will act once re-elected, if they get re-elected.

No offense taken, and I agree with your point. Restless leg syndrome is a stupid @$$ name for a malady. Very few people know I have this problem including my 17 year old. I usually suffer in silence, If this is common it explains why awareness is low and people think its made up. I hear it affect 3 or 4 % of the population to some degree. I never consulted a Dr. until it was a 3-4 night a week thing. I am sure obama care will cure it .

Lets get through the mid terms first. But, as things sit now any ticket with Obama on top will have a big hill to climb.

This will be the end liberalism. I think people finally seen the so called "Change", with high end big progressive movements and sick and tired of it. Time for my party to stand up, and what the U.S Constitution and Declaration of Independence is all about. See you Democrats later...

After we win the house and senate back, the focus will be to "IMPEACH" him and get him out.
The dumbass snuck a extra tax in on the healthcare bill, if you sell your house after 2013, add 3.9 to it... Bastard!!

Found this on the internet. I hoped it was bogus

The bill is HR-4646
introduced by US Rep Peter deFazio D-Oregon and US Senator Tom
Harkin D-Iowa. It is now in committee and will probably not be brought
out until after the Nov. elections.

Suggest that you pass this along and also to your state senator and

representative and US Congressman and Senators.

One percent transaction tax is proposed

President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His plan

is to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under the radar. This

is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial institution i. e. Banks, Credit

Unions, etc.. Any deposit you make, or move around within your account, i. e.

transfer to, will have a 1% tax charged. If your pay check or your social

Security or whatever is direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a

check in to deposit, 1% tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax

charged. This is from the man who promised that if you make under $250,000

per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep your eyes and ears

open, you will be amazed at what you learn.

Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they can raise

it at will.

THis is what a google search turned up.

The following summary was written by the Congressional Research Service, a well-respected nonpartisan arm of the Library of Congress. GovTrack did not write and has no control over these summaries.

2/23/2010--Introduced.
Debt Free America Act - States as purposes of this Act the raising of sufficient revenue from a fee on transactions to eliminate the national debt within seven years and the phasing out of the individual income tax. Amends the Internal Revenue Code to impose a 1% fee, offset by a corresponding nonrefundable income tax credit, on transactions that use a payment instrument, including any check, cash, credit card, transfer of stock, bonds, or other financial instrument. Defines "transaction" to include retail and wholesale sales, purchases of intermediate goods, and financial and intangible transactions. Establishes in the legislative branch the Bipartisan Task Force for Responsible Fiscal Action to review the fiscal imbalance of the federal government and make recommendations to improve such imbalance. Provides for expedited consideration by Congress of Task Force recommendations. Repeals after 2017 the individual income tax, refundable and nonrefundable personal tax credits, and the alternative minimum tax (AMT) on individuals. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to: (1) prioritize the repayment of the national debt to protect the fiscal stability of the United States; and (2) study and report to Congress on the implementation of this Act.

It seems odd that democrats would propose a new tax? It is not a in place of tax it is just another tax!

it's problably not that progressive and we won't know until it passes and someone then can read it

Mike,

Love it!

True, it could change, but the way the summary reads it taxes everyone "equally". Democrats aren't known for implementing that sort of tax scheme, they usually propose the opposite.

and to boot, he would be half price

I think this is a way progreesive tax. A poor person can take the one percent tax when they cash their check or even get paid in cash paying nothing. They can then use cash for rent, groceries or anything else.

Imagine how this will effect the middle income and rich in the interim. I sell my cabin for 165000, they tax the net @ 18% in my case taxes would be about 18,000 (pissed already), they would get 1% of the sales check or $1,650. Now I move my profits into an interst earning account, they net 1% of one hundred thousand or $1000, Now as I pay bills online or use almost any other way they will collect another $1000
Instead of $18,000, they have collected 21,650. their 1% tax generated 23% more collections from my side of this transaction alone. Now remember , everyone that recieved this money from me also was taxed 1%,checks get dispersed for closing costs, mortgage payoff and profit neting another 1% or 1,650, and so on.... very insidious.


How will this affect society. Greater reliance on cash. Businesses increasing cash transactions, more robberies looking for cash. Increased muggings cause eveyone carries cash again. Black market economies. Banks devestated. Investing greatly effected, especially short term trading. What are the chances of anyone selling property between now and 2017? Why is there not a "pulling my hair out " emoticon?

lesson learned? commoners dont get a break
but you are 100% correct on the cash is king theory, discount for cash

Eric, if a commoner like yourself didn't/doesn't see big tax breaks under GW's tax cuts, then you had the wrong guy doing your taxes.

I'm waiting for them to figure out how to tax internet commerce.
