The tax cut plan means I will get 1,000 dollars back in Federal income taxes

[bigdarryl]

After I retire in April my retirement salary will be 51,600 a year I'll take that tax deal

1. Meant!

It may not go through.

Your taxes might go up instead.....
if some have it their way.

It will be interesting to see Democrats
blow their own nose off their faces.

11. i agree. seems like some are so angry

that they're not thinking rationally.

i think obama did the right thing. he's a good man with a good heart.

2. Glad that you will be positively impacted by this.

3. you are all over the map

geez

4. I'll get $1,400 from the payroll tax cut alone. Unless Dems fuck it up.

5. But others here don't want you to have that because it meant dealing with REPUBLICANS

You see, no one should ever have to deal with a Republican or Blue Dog in Washington. All you have to do is make some LBJ-style calls and get everyone to fall in line.

So other DUers might think you a sellout for being happy with that money.

7. Wow, you are making some decent gravy, dude, to get a retirement like that

Your corporation must have a nice retirement plan. What are you going to do with all your free time, come April?

14. Police And Firemen Retirement System of the State Of NJ

We get 65% of our last salary when retiring after 25 years as a Police Officer, State Trooper, Correction Officer Or Firefighter with full medical benefits of coarse our beloved Governor wants to change the medical portion of our retirement making future retirees pay into medical benefits

17. And here I always took you for a newspaper editor

Anyway, yeah, a buddy of mine has a couple sons who are cops and they can't wait to reach the ripe old age of 40 so they can retire. Seems like those guys always end up starting some business on their own after they retire and rake in more dough, most of it under the table. No wonder our country is so financially strapped. Good luck in April, though.

10. that's how much my husband's pension

will be although it will be reduced a few thousand so i get the full amount if he dies.

right now he's 63 and has no plans to retire.

i don't know how much our taxes will be for this year. we always owe the feds a few hundred bucks.

13. You get the tax deal while we borrow from China

SOMEONE has to pay for the tax deals. Who do you think it will be, ultimately?

15. While you're enjoying your $20 a week

Your boss will be enjoying $200 a week. And Social Security will find it's finances even more precarious as nearly a third of the employee contributions to FICA are wheedled away, prompting the Repukes to call for 'partial privatization', since obviously, the President didn't care about shoring up the system with that two percent.

I'd gladly give up a couple of six-packs a week of craft brew just to see the rich finally paying something resembling their fair share again.
