I will be neither silenced nor enslaved
Since 1984, I have been voting against someone rather than for them. I don't see that changing in the near term. I will continue voting against the liberals who seem set on the destruction of our American way of life. I am fortunate in that I live in Spotsylvania County where we have a conservative Republican as our representative (Rob Wittman). It's up to people like us to make a difference at a time when our country is more interested in "American Idol" than what our elected officials are doing in Washington or Richmond. The "watchdog of democracy"--the press--has sold us out to the leftists in this country. The Internet, however, gives us a voice. Letters to the editor do the same. I will not be silenced as long as we have a First Amendment, and I will not be enslaved so long as we have a Second Amendment. I am not a politician, but I will not entrust our nation to those who are without my input. Next, let's look at taxes. Those who want to pay more taxes in January should send the IRS a check and they will gladly take it. My family and I are taxed enough already. Where there is no accountability, there is only disaster. David Rababy Spotsylvania
Buffet pays 17% on his money and his secretary pays the going rate. What's your point? That Buffet lies or that there is a growing divide between wealth and whoever is left over? If Buffet gave his entire fortune away, do you think his "deception" would be the end of this discussion? Hardly. The "tax cuts" invented 10 years ago should be allowed to die of natural causes. THEY knew that 10 years ago. That's why THEY put a shelf life of 10 years on the cuts, instead of making it a permanent fix.
He pays himself with dividends from stock he owns personally outside Berkshire Hathaway (which does NOT pay dividends). Qualified dividends are taxed at a lower rate than cash income. He therefore pays a lower tax rate than his secretary because he pays her in cash and she pays whatever her bracket is. Which is more than Buffet pays per dollar.
You are a "gem"
You support the increasing of taxes through killing the "Bush tax cuts" because CNN & MSNBC told you to - am I correct? You are supporting the continuing socialization of the middle class by the left wing. The bottom 98% will evenly share the miniscule wealth of what is left over after the 2% of socialist elites take their cut. The traditional middle class FDR/LBJ created they are killing and by intent. Dear sir, why don't you REALLY investigate what's going on, and stop with this mindless jingoistic garbag
David - you support the "Bush tax cuts" because Fox news tells you too - am I correct? You are supporting the continued demise of the American middle class at the hand of the right wing. the top 2% will keep their 98% wealth, and you and I will be left to pay more than our share. The traditional middle class FDR/LBJ created they are killing and by intent. Dear sir, why don't you REALLY investigate what's going on, and stop with this mindless jingoistic garbage.
