A subchapter S corporation is set up as a subchapter S corporation specifically for tax reasons. It is therefore voluntary on behalf of the shareholders.

This is even more lame than your usual acoustic.

The fact birdbrained leftist congressional morons want to raise taxes on those with incomes of $250K means raising taxes on about 50% of the small businesses; those who create about 70% of the new jobs in America...and most of them file Sub Chapter S income tax returns.

Jwhop, your articles state that the Bush tax cuts were for everyone. You focus on "tax cuts for the rich," because that's the only part they wanted repealed.

Your third "article" is a blog post, which means it's a Conservative talking about tax cuts for the rich. It links to a nice article from the Washington Post, which states:

    "Democrats are having second thoughts about raising taxes on the nation's wealthiest families and are pressing party leaders to consider extending the full array of Bush administration tax cuts, at least through next year."

That's a far cry from the supposed "lie" about Democrats claiming Bush tax cuts were only tax cuts for the rich. Yes, in this case your eyes did deceive you.

And now we come to democrats.org where, yes, they are talking about the Bush tax cuts for the rich. Are they doing so in avoidance of the fact that the Bush tax cuts extended across the spectrum of incomes?

"The first way to cut the debt is to eliminate tax cuts for people who don't need them. And the rich don't need a tax cut - they are rolling in dough while the rest of us struggle to survive." http://www.democrats.com/end-bushs-700-billion-tax-cut-for-the-rich

Is it just me, or does that read "for the people who don't need them"? That implies rather explicitly that Democrats know and acknowledge the tax cuts given elsewhere. This is what I've been saying, Jwhop. Do you get it yet? There has been NO lack of expressing that some of the tax cuts are good or fine.

Next:

"Though Democrats have committed to ensuring that tax cuts for middle-income brackets are extended permanently..."
TPMDC.talkingpointsmemo

More confirmation that Democrats have consistently acknowledged the tax cuts across the board.

This one's a great article. You should read it. Talks about the discredited notion of supply-side economics.

    "Democrats, though, are resorting to logic and fact-based appeals to argue against the GOP noise machine. Right-wing propagandists and GOP leaders are arguing that we can't 'raise' taxes in a recession, while Democrats aren't taking an aggressive frontal assault on the GOP's favoritism towards the rich."

"Democrats aren't taking an aggressive frontal assault on the GOP's favoritism towards the rich," he says.

    "What Democrats and their progressive allies are failing to do effectively is calling out the GOP's false claims that the administration wants to let all the tax cuts expire, not just for the wealthy. Just like the mantra over "death panels" and the swift-boating of John Kerry, Democrats seem to be assuming that since it's a bald-faced lie, the public won't be be fooled."

Indeed. This definitely isn't proof of your point, Jwhop.

    Washington, July 28 (UPI) -- House Democrats want to roll back President George W. Bush 's Tax Cuts for the wealthiest Americans while extending Tax Cuts for the Middle Class.

First sentence. What were you thinking posting these?

This article is about as close as you're going to get on what you apparently believed when you created this thread. This author overstated things by saying:

    "The snake oil the Bush administration peddled was that the tax cuts, which overwhelmingly went to the rich and the ultra-rich, would spur the economy.

They didn't "overwhelmingly" go to the rich.

Still, that writer only asks that the cuts to the wealthy be revoked, which doesn't ignore or deny the fact that there were other cuts.

"While Obama and congressional Democrats agree that the tax cuts should be extended to individuals earning less than $250,000 a year, the president would like to see those who make more start paying pre-2001 rates."

Second sentence, Jwhop.

"President Obama will announce in a speech on Wednesday that he will oppose any compromises that extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy beyond the end of this year, the New York Times reported Tuesday."

We already know where Obama stood on the issue.

Yup, and most of them won't find or expose the "lie" you claimed was being put out by the Democrats.

Now, let's go full circle back to the start, shall we? This is what you posted:

    Have to love it when leftists get caught in their own lies.

    For years...all the way back to 2001, leftists have worn out the old Marxist refrain...Tax Cuts for the Rich.

    I've pointed out for years that the Bush Tax Cuts were for all income levels and in addition, that legislation took many totally off the tax paying rolls by adjusting the lowest paying tax rate downward.

    Now, leftists have been caught in their lies again...which is the usual given some time.

You claimed that there was some sort of lie based upon the notion of "tax cuts for the rich." You "pointed out for years" you say that tax cuts extended to all income levels. No headline about the "tax cuts for the rich" agrees with your premise. None of them suggest that Democrats are pushing the notion that Bush tax cuts were only for the rich (Yes, this was your original premise, though you've tried to weasel out of that in later posts.) Your back-up for your assertion was in what Obama said about middle class families.

You lose, Jwhop. There was no lie. There was no backtracking. There was a consistent message, which was that Democrats would like to repeal the tax breaks for the wealthy. That is not the same as claiming Bush tax cuts were only for the wealthy.

The "Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich" was lying leftist rhetoric and I did focus on that rhetoric...in the past as now...because lying rhetoric should be exposed for what it is.

And acoustic, I see that even when your nose is rubbed in the lying leftist rhetoric, you're still arguing that just because lying leftists didn't remtion tax cuts for the middle class and working poor contained within the Bush Tax Cuts going all the way back to 2001...that's what they really meant all along.

Only in fantasy land acoustic.

What the lying leftists were attempting to convey is the the Bush Tax Cuts only benefitted the rich. It's the usual class warfare put forth by Marxist Socialist Progressives.

"And the rich don't need a tax cut"
democrats.com

Let me say to you and the rest of the leftist coven. It's none of your business whether or not the rich "need" tax cuts. In a capitalist society, people work for what they have and it's not the job of government to steal what they've earned to hand over to those who sit on their as$es and never acquired useful skills they could sell in the job market.

However, if we were playing the game of what one "needs", I would adopt the rule that you and others of the leftist clan have a lot more than you need and leave you with only what I think you "need".

Actually, I wouldn't do that at all. I'd much prefer to round up all the leftists and ship you off to Cuba or North Korea where you could find true happiness in the leftist ideal society.

We don't operate under the 5th rate thinker, Karl Marx rules in America. "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

Lastly, the 2,000,000...2 million hits on Google search for Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich is overwhelming evidence that Socialist demoscats have been saying the words.

End of the story and as usual, you lose because your arguments are bullshiiit.

It wasn't lying rhetoric. What was the lie?

Only in fantasyland does looking at Democrats focusing on repealing a specific part of the tax breaks enacted under Bush as some sort of "lying" rhetoric. Where is the lie, Jwhop? What were they lying about exactly?

No, they weren't. That's what I've spent every post in this thread refuting. At EVERY SINGLE CORNER, in EVERY SINGLE article it is quite apparent that Democrats are focused on taking away the tax cuts solely given to wealthy. Nothing more.

quote:
It's none of your business whether or not the rich "need" tax cuts.

None of your business? What kind of talk is that? You're acting as if it's a privacy issue. It's everyone's business whether this country goes into debt, because it doesn't collect enough in taxes to cover it's expenses.

I guess that if it's no one's business about wealthy people's taxes, then it's equally none of our business to think about raising the debt ceiling, or our government going into default. It's none of our business if our government sells our debt to the Communist world power. We shouldn't be worried about our government stealing the commie's money any more so than "stealing" from our own wealthy, because surely our own wealthy don't have as much of a vested interest in our solvency as China does. Think J-dog, think.

quote:
In a capitalist society, people work for what they have and it's not the job of government to steal what they've earned to hand over to those who sit on their as$es and never acquired useful skills they could sell in the job market.

In our Capitalist society, the preeminent Capitalists believe they should be taxed more, and have taken things a step further in getting other billionaires to give half their money to causes for people that are less fortunate like those people without useful skills. Imagine that!

If you don't want to pay taxes to the American government, you are free to pay them elsewhere. If you believe in America's capitalism, then you'll pay to play.

LOL...

It's too much, JWhop. Too much! Yes, they've been saying those words. They've been saying those words in relation to repealing those cuts. Those cuts are NOT the same as the entire slew of Bush tax cuts.
