House Minority 'Wipe' Steny Hoyer said on Tuesday that he supports Barry "Almighty's" plan to extend the Bush tax rates for only one year and only for those people making less than $250,000 per year, but said that "in the long term" he would like to see taxes increased for even those people making less than $250,000. "I believe he [Obama] is correct," Hoyer said Tuesday at a Capitol Hill briefing. "I believe that 250 is a reasonable level, although as I said yesterday, I would go lower in the long term. However, this one time, the economy is struggling, and $250,000 is a reasonable level to ensure that those folks below that ... are not given an additional tax increase.” So is Steny talking about having those parasites who currently don't pay any taxes, to finally pay their fair share? I mean less face it, if those who actually pay taxes are going to be made to pay more, how about those who don't pay any?
One online news service did actually go so far as to ask Hoyer’s office just how far below $250,000 per year level he would like to go in increasing people's taxes. Some imbecilic spokesperson for Hoyer wouldn't specify exactly what income level should be subject to a tax increase down the road. “He [Hoyer] was clear that right now, 250 should be the number," said this faceless, brainless spokesperson. "Anything other than that would be over the long-term.” And in what was exactly what should have been expected from this pompous old ass, Hoyer proceeded to blame President George W. Bush, who left office back on Jan. 20, 2009, for the ongoing weak economy and the 8.2 percent employment rate. So the 4 Million jobs that have been lost since Barry assumed office are Bush's fault? I just fail to see the logic here. Of course, it's very rare that I'm able to understand these Democrats.
Sticking to that same old, tired and thoroughly worn out talking point, Hoyer said, "The president inherited the worst economy in your lifetimes--in my lifetime, in the lifetime of anyone in this room. On Jan '09, this economy lost 818,000 jobs in one month. Now last month we only gained 80,000 -- not enough. But very frankly, which would you rather have?" Hoyer was the House Majority Leader in 2009, and his party controlled a majority of Congress from the beginning of January 2007 to the end of December 2010. And as such, Hoyer was another top Democrat who saw the passing of Obamacare as being the primary issue and the one in most urgent need of being passed, rather than creating any viable measures that would have actually contributed to job creation. Now all of a sudden this douche bag is talking about the need to create jobs. It's funny how important jobs become when you're 120 days out of an election.
On Monday, Barry "Almighty" proposed extending the current, Bush-era tax rates for those earning less than $250,000 for an additional 365 days, from the last day of December this year to the last day of December next year. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that that falls between elections. Under Barry's cockamamie proposal, everyone earning over $250,000, which includes many small business owners, would see their tax rates go up on Jan. 1, 2013. Under his proposal, the income tax rates would go up for everyone twelve months later on Jan. 1, 2014. Barry's plan calls for the top two marginal tax rates of 33% and 35% to increase to 36% and 39.6%, respectively, at the first of the year. What Barry leaves out of his little formula is the fact that the federal government would burn through the total amount raised, courtesy of his tax hikes, in roughly 8.5 days. Just doesn't make any sense!
