Largest Tax Hike in Jan 2011

If Congress fails to act,
income tax rates will revert to higher levels dating from June 2001.

For a married couple with an income of $80,000, that would drain an extra $221.48 in withholding from a semi-monthly paycheck, according to calculations by the Tax Institute at H&R Block. Married individuals earning $240,000 a year would lose an additional $557.78 to withholding in a single semi-monthly paycheck. The Tax Institute at H&R Block calculated federal tax rates for single-income earners and married taxpayers without children.

Paychecks could shrink in January and into February, depending on how long it takes Congress to act.

God help us.

A couple stories from REDSTATE:

Armageddon: What Democrats Are Hiding & Why They Are Really Scared

“When asked for clarification, the person explained about the accounting rules developed to shore up underfunded union pensions and the dates when those union companies affected would have to assume their liabilities had the DC crowd (in particular, the Democrats and the unions) in a panic.”

Senate Republicans May Not Try to Repeal Obamacare

“In the past several weeks, there have been several closed door, off the record meetings of high dollar donors getting briefings from various elected officials, including several Senators. In each case the donors have been “reassured” by the Senators present that they have no intention of repealing Obamacare, just restructuring it.”

Two Weeks To Go

And $3T added to our debt since January 2009 … what choices do you make?

Remember to go through your ballot … line by line.

After all, the POTUS promised to do that. Remember?

Boeing Adjusts Healthcare Coverage

Uh oh.

WASHINGTON – Aerospace giant Boeing is joining the list of companies that say the new health care law could have a potential downside for their workers.

In a letter mailed to employees late last week, the company cited the overhaul as part of the reason it is asking some 90,000 nonunion workers to pay significantly more for their health plan next year. A copy of the letter was obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

UPDATE: Yes You Heard Right

Mr. Kane, yup – I heard it, also.

Governor O’Malley did refer to illegal immigrants aliens as “new Americans”.
And Former Governor Ehrlich was quite correct in pouncing on that comment.
(For those that haven’t heard it, watch it here.)

How about that. According to our state governor, nothing further has to be done because he just elevated illegal aliens to residents.

Funny. I thought the legislature was supposed to have the job of passing legislation and the governor was to sign them into law. So what’s the Bill/House numbers, Gov. O’Malley?

I want to see these documents.

Pot Meet Kettle

Who’s fighting back, POTUS?

For the record, it’s WE THE PEOPLE.

We are coming to take back the keys.

In two weeks and one day.

Speaker of the House – Shouldn’t

Because we cannot believe a single thing she says.

Make that – every thing she says.

Lately? She claims she will cut the Bush deficit in half by 2013. On her website.

Can’t stop lying apparently. What a maroon.

There’s A Lesson In Here

Somewhere.

In this moving picture of governmental waste, I put forth the notion that no one should ever vote for a candidate that the Main Scream Media refuses to vet.

Another $50B. POTUS, wassa matta you? You think we didn’t hear you specify the same – exact – thing when selling the $787B Stim-u-less package?

Tell me, POTUS, have you ever balanced your household checkbook – BEFORE you became a U.S. Senator for gosh sakes? Do you even know how much a gallon of milk costs?

And Congress, don’t even think I have forgotten about you.
