NEVER Mention sequestration in PA?!?

[ASA_Aviator]

You should read the non-partisan "the millionaire next door". The stats on who the wealthy really are in this country will surprise you. It will also encourage rather than provoke jealousy.

I'm not jealous. Primarily because I married well, my wife and I are in the highest tax bracket, but yet we feel that we actually don't pay enough in taxes.

Besides, I'm mainly talking about the richest 1%, which is those earning over 1.1 million per year. Most of the charts describe that as the start if the "wealth" line. That's not a millionaire next door....

Feel free to write the IRS a larger check. They'll gladly take it. I'd rather send my money where it will be used wisely.

Actually in the book, the millionaires surveyed were worth 1-5m.

2/3s earned less than six figures,were in their fifties, self-employed or some kind of professional, 1st generation millionaires, lived in middle class areas, in the area they grew up.

It was surprising to me, anyway.

Pet peeve: calling a high income earner wealthy.

Wealth is the accumulation of savings not how much you earn in a year. A person could earn $500,00 and spend $495,000 and would not be wealthy. In contrast a person could earn $50,00 for their whole career, save, and retire wealthy.

Not that the left wouldn't love the chance to tax ones wealth/savings. Oh wait we do have a estate tax.

Noted, and understood.

There is an estate tax. One that has been largely gutted and reduced. For the average person, that's a good thing. They would lose their parent's farm, etc., but that's not what I'm talking about.

I wasn't intending to single anyone out, it mostly the talking heads and politicians that like to throw around the "wealthy" word.

ASA Aviator...I wish you would go start your own business. Then get back to me. You have no idea of the taxes, fees etc it cost small business which the Gov't considers "wealthy" owners to continue operating. You have your head so far up your arse it's absolutely pathetic. Go start/run your OWN business then get back to me about paying higher taxes. Honestly, you make me sick to my stomach. Seriously, if you have excess money...go start a business. Let us know...mmmmmmmmk?

No thanks. I'm happy with how things are. If you're sick to your stomach, you should take some pepto or something.

What's to explain? "ladies and gentlemen, we are delayed due air traffic control limitations in XYZ"

Intelligent people can put two and two together.

The idiots will NEVER understand, no matter how much you explain - they'll just continue blaming the Republicans.

For those of you that think FAA, military, SS are the ONLY things that can be cut, and that this is NOT EXACTLY like third world tyrants forcing there will onto the people, while trying to disarm them, you need to lay off the koolaid.

ASA Aviator---
I think I have flown with you....
Sure hope so, because we are in trouble if there is more people that think like you!

How big is our debt problem? How much of the federal budget is spent on items other than defense, SS and Medicare?

Ha. Yeah, well there are a bunch of people who are liberals, there just aren't many in Georgia, so you guys get all isolated and think you're actually in the majority.

 

[waterskier]

The thing I never understood about liberals is why you hate the country and that way it is.... You guys are continually obsessed with changing the country....
Most of the elders in our society, reflect on the way the country was with pride, and where we are going with sadness... At my young age, I can already see the degradation of the country as well... All of the liberal ideas have been tried in the past in other countries.... and every time it fails.... you know the definition of insanity, don't you?
Is the country really that bad that you need to upset the system? Still the best one going....
I feel with a growing population of people like yourself, that our best days as a country are forever behind us.... God Help us!!!
Forgot, Liberals don't want me to say that either!

Guess you are probably one of those closet liberals, that is so embarrassed about your beliefs that you hide it from personal interaction, and only talk about it on the internet!

 

[embraerjetpilot]

Thank you for the delay you tea party nutcases

 

[Bringupthebird]

I apologize for the delay and tell them I will keep them updated every 15 minutes. Worked for the past 30+ years.

Sequester was crafted and introduced by the president. If he didn't want to deal with its effects he shouldn't have put to the legislature.

Nah, I'm pretty open about my political stance. I just don't bring it up to much at work. You know, religion and politics, etc.

On the contrary, I want the tax code back like it was in the 50s. I want the distribution of wealth like it was in the 50s and 60s.

The only changes I want to the country that are new involve civil rights issues. Fiscally, I want to go back 60 years.
