7. ITA on the income tax increase
Mon Jan 14, 2013, 07:08 AM

I feel that too was set back to a "better" rate but not an accurate rate. Now that we are married (April last year) they still aren't taxing us accurately. They should have reset to what Obama proposed (250) or lower.

Background - Two high earners in a high cost of living area in a high cost of living state. I'm going to sound like a broken record if you have read my posts before. . . Tax me dammit!

Honestly - I don't care about the debt. I don't care. Do something dramatic now, so that we can make a massive investment in America now - and we will worry about the debt in dice years.

1. Tax me on my full income fo SS fund. Again - we are stopping waaaaay too early in the year. My noting of the 22 cents - I had to look at my first check in June. That's criminal - you want Seniors eating cat food in 20 years? Then keep that nonsense up.

2. Set the wealthiest earners AND interest incomers back to 1956. I'm in the first group and I'm ready to invest in America.

We need to counter those R Talking points you very clearly outlined with simple statements (Invest in America) that questions the loyalty of the rich and wealthy to their country.

Because I'm in that demographic - and I question my peers.

My greatest fear - is that we are going to implode as the baby boomers age and we need to get ahead of tat now sp they are not cold and hungry. That is not acceptable to me.
