[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obamacare - Highly "peer reviewed".  All 3,000 pages.

Going tits up.   LOLOLOL[/quote]

You are clueless about “peer reviewed publications”. You don’t even know much about the basic civics about a bill and how it becomes law. You lack the education and intelligence to have a debate BUT sadly even ignorant people have the right to speak crap. Enjoy your right. Good bye. [/quote]

The last few pages are filled with ignorant posts.  People you need to stop getting your "information" from talk radio and from dodgy websites.
It makes it easier for charlatans and snake oil salesmen to convince people that up is down.
So when the MSM reports that Paul Ryan's example of a middle class family earning $59,000 a year gets a $1200 tax cut is flawed and they will actually pay $500 more in taxes after a few years, it does not even register because it will not be reported in the right wing echo chamber.  
When Bruce Bartlett who is largely responsible for the much vaunted Reagan tax cuts writes to warn Republicans that they did not result in enough economic growth to pay for themselves and actually made the national debt worse, he will not be interviewed on Fox News or by conservative talk show hosts.

The "Common sense" is equal to years of research crowd doesn't want to know facts. No research can confirm their own self taught beliefs. It is sad that the quality if education and critical thinking in this country is so abysmal. Rate alone means nothing when there are many ways to add hidden tax. Removing medical expense deduction, interest on student loan deduction will hit the pocketbooks of the lower middle and middle directly and offsets the rate going low for some people.

The bigger issue is WHY are the rich getting a tax break for no reason? Elimination of estate taxes, removal of AMT, No increase in Capital Gains tax, reducing the pass through S-Corp taxes, more than doubling the upper limit for the highest tax bracket are all massive tax breaks for the wealthy. The corporations are sitting on pile of cash and they are getting even more cash by dropping the top rate from 35 to 20%. All the corp will do is spend on high capex machines to improve productivity which will create jobs for the professional class but eliminate jobs at the low end.

You don't increase deficit needlessly when the economy is doing well. Well managed countries try to pare down deficit when economy is growing. Look at the map of most indebted countries in the world. Japan, US and many European countries top the chart. China and India are among the large economies with relatively manageable debt load. Any surprise why Asia is on the rise and the west is sinking and flailing?
