Obie Rules Out Compromise to Extend Bush-Era Tax Cuts for Wealthy
President Obama will rule out on Wednesday any compromise
that would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy
beyond this year, officials said, adding a populist twist to
an election-season economic package that is otherwise
designed to entice support from big businesses and their
Republican allies.
Mr. Obama's opposition to allowing the high-end tax cuts to
remain in place for even another year or two would be the
signal many Congressional Democrats have been awaiting as
they prepare for a showdown with Republicans on the issue and
ends speculation that the White House might be open to an
extension.

No instead he continues his special giveaway to big business and state governments who pander to the union subsidies.

Double??? who's going to see a doubling of their tax rate?

Steve, let me be clear "what are you talking about", I mention capital gains taxes and you respond with their tax rates doubling.
Simple question what is the plan for capital gains taxes in the Obama plan, will they double or go up 80%.

Quote: "The Bush tax cuts, the most sweeping in a generation, are due to expire in January, setting up a big fight in Congress over what to do about them. Republicans and some Democrats want them to remain in place for a year or two or to make them permanent. Obama wants to make the tax cuts permanent for middle- and low-income families while allowing them to expire for individuals making more than $200,000 and married couples making more than $250,000."
Quote: "The White House sees the issue as an opportunity to appeal to middle-class voters and independents who were crucial to Obama's election. In his speech, Obama will argue that the tax cuts for the wealthy would add $700 billion to the deficit, a sum the country can't afford as the economy struggles to recover.
House Republican Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, offered his own proposals Wednesday, saying in a nationally broadcast interview that Congress should freeze all tax rates for two years and should cut federal spending to the levels of 2008, before the deep recession took hold.

Quote: "As he often does, Obama will paint Republican leaders as seeking a return to what he calls the failed economic policies of the past, singling out Boehner's call to extend tax cuts for the wealthy that were enacted by former President George W. Bush."
Politics of division........
Quote: "Senior White House adviser David Axelrod said Wednesday "the middle class has treaded water and lost ground" during the past decade. "What we can't afford is another [color=#FF0000]$700 billion in tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires[/color]. More than half of those tax cuts would go to people making over $8 million a year. Doesn't make sense."
"
"
Well a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then, didnt they give a trillion dollars to the states to dole out to their cronies? Obama's rhetoric has killed any recovery and dangerously puts us up for a double dip recession. Lets beat the piss out of big business and the alleged rich. [color=#FF0000]Its worked extremely well, ask the man in the soup line or the long term undemployed.[/color]

Richard... I hate to be a stickler for detail, but You mentioned capital gains and You also mentioned the rate doubling. I simply responded by asking you to clarify who's rate would double.
The capital gains tax is slated to increase from 15% to 20%...
Please explain your use of the New math

Steve, here is my post
"I am wondering now what he is going to do with the capital gains. Will he double those also."
Where is the word "rate", I know the difference between tax rates and capital gains taxes. You confuse yourself.
Sep 08, 2010 16:49:49
I confuse myself... about a distinction without a difference.
Please... a little support for; "Will he double those also."
