Mitt And Jeb Are Less Popular

You talk all around the point, flighty. The 1%, who you and Odumbo so despise, have been made richer by Odumbo's policies even as the 47%ers became poorer. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Having the DJIA reach a 18,000 points is the American Dream. If you don't have time to track individual stocks, there are over 1,500 mutual funds out there. Do some research and pick one. The Vanguard Total Index 500 is good one. Compound Interest is a beautiful thing. The sooner you start the better off you will be.

The 47 per cent were hurt by greedy Wall street bankers participating in high risk transactions and the incompetence of Bush43. The passing of Dodd Frank has put a limit to some the risk that the banks and brokerage firms can take. As we speak the republicans in Congress are trying to rewrite the Dodd/ Frank bill to allow the bankers do go back to taking on more risk and potentially cause another Wall Street meltdown like in December 2008 when Lehman Brothers, AIG, Citygroup and Chase Bank went bankrupt.

Obama and Tim Geitner has cleaned up the mess that Bush43 left behind!

The 47 percent were especially hurt by this. Rewriting Dodd/Frank would allow the bankers to take on more risks and potentially cause another Wall Street meltdown.

The Bush43 tax cuts were suppose to expire in December 2008 for all tax brackets. The Bush43 tax cuts for the lowest tax brackets are still in effect today. In Jan. 2013 the tax bracket for one percent was increased to 39.6% (the same percentage that it was under Clinton).

Republicans have not done anything to help the 47%.

Republicans in congress have refused to extend unemployment benefits.

Republicans in congress refuse to increase the minimum wage.

Republicans in congress want to rewrite the Dodd/Frank bill to make it easier for Wall Street to participate in risky transactions that caused the Wall Street meltdown in 2008.

The Bush tax cuts had sunset provisions that made them expire at the end of 2010, since otherwise they would fall under the Byrd Rule. Whether to renew the lowered rates, and how, became the subject of extended political debate, which was resolved during the presidency of Barack Obama by a two-year extension that was part of a larger tax and economic package, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. In 2012, during the fiscal cliff, the tax cuts were made permanent for single people making less than $400,000 per year and couples making less than $450,000 per year, and eliminated for everyone else, under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012

Before the tax cuts, the highest marginal income tax rate was 39.6 percent. After the cuts, the highest rate was 35 percent. Once the cuts were eliminated for high income levels (single people making $400,000+ per year and couples making $450,000+ per year), the top income tax rate returned to 39.6 percent.

You know what the top tax rate was 60 years ago? Between 85-90% depending on the year. 39 sounds pretty good doesn't it?
