I can't believe people on this site talk about the two Parties as if they are different and politics is real. I thought you were all enlightened and awake, that's why you come to ATS.

something tells me you are preparing to jump

Oh and you did

and

the rest is boring and predictable

so there is no need to re-vomit it here

thats it -

GOP sucks

Glad there is such a person as Misoir in this world...

nevermind

changed my mind

sorry

i want to emigrate to the usa become a senator or congress man so i can lie to your faces and sell you out to monsanto and GE
after all corperations are now persons in your country
im sure some person could pay me lots to tell lies like
give tax breaks to the rich it will help the poor

my personal reason for stating this is the truth sometimes hurts enough to get the messaqge accross,

the rich making rules for the rich
lol
tricle down economics is like a bad punch line,

i know of no rich people in my country who would even give a dollar to help,
yet these are the people we rely on to be charitable?

come on people life works like this

the rich buy tax breaks the politicians lie and say it will create jobs,
the poor get poorer

this scam is so blatent they have to put flouride in massive amounts in your water
or you would demand they are removed from your country

if i controlled your money i would not give 1 cent to the banks who destroyed your economy,
trickle down debt is the reality

economics is boring so people pay no attension to it
this is done on purpose to keep the flouridated population from realizing the scam of the century

the poor are taxed the rich pay nothing

sounds fair to me /sarcasm

this will not end how ANYONE expects
lol

cant wait to see Karma and justice catch up on these silly buggers

mark my words,
the meek shall inherate the earth
and im not religious

xploder

If you were given a refund check for monies that you set aside into an account that was for retirement, how would you feel about that?

Happy? WAIT A MINUTE! That is money that you expected to inflate with the market and be relatively safe so it would be available to you when you retired. Your $20 that you put into savings every month will not keep up at the rate you will need to retire.

But, that $20 you put into a 401K plan will earn you greater returns than the same $20 you put into your savings account.

Now, let's say that your bank sent you a letter telling you that they are going to award you for...well, being YOU! They plan on mailing you you a check for $50 right away. What for? Ah, because you are you and we love you. Oh, btw...we've also changed savings deposit policy and you are now only allowed to deposit no more and $10/month into your savings account.

Well, three years goes by and you've decided to cash out your savings account. You are expecting your account to be $480.00. (1year adding $20/month to your account and 2 years adding $10/mo to your account = $480 - maybe $482 after interest).

The bank gives you a check for $360.00. Wah? Obviously you would like to know what happened to the other $120.00. The bank reminds you that they gave you a check for $50 for, well...just being YOU!

Now, apply the above situation, and same dollar amount contributed each month. In this situation you were expecting 10X that amount returned.

Well, welcome to the goverment's 401K......FICA

Now, why is everyone so happy about this?

With SS the way it is and expected to be, why is Obama sigining bills for us to contribute only 75% of what we were contributing before? Will I be getting only 75% of what I was told I'd receive upon retirement? (We all get that sheet every few years from the IRS, listing the amount we have contributed to date and the amount we are expected to receive based on a couple of scenarios.)

Why two years the first time and this last time he extened it for one year? Was it so he could purposely mislead the American employees into thinking this is a tax contribution and use it to villify the other party? Taxes are monies we pay that are not returned. FICA is seperate line on your check stub for a reason. It is NOT state tax withheld and it is NOT federal tax withheld..

IT IS YOUR PENSION PLAN CONTRIBUTION!!

Come on people, we are all smarter than this. Don't let these clowns get away with tricks that are so blatantly offensive to have been pulled on us..

Election year is coming and this one is going to get very ugly.
