If you make over $100k/year by yourself, you will get no Obama tax cut

Plug the numbers in yourself. The definition of "rich" seems to be expanding by the minute.

100k isnt much, really....

On a family its not much. As a single guy with no commitments and freedom you can live very well off that.

McCain never promised to be the savior to the working class.

And sorry, $100k/year is still working class.

[adoniscomplex]

out of the 5 of you i bet none of you make over 100k a year

Who gives a ****? Small price to pay to not have another Bush Admin.

how much do you make ?

[HoosierBoy]

how much do you make ?

Far less than that. Point?

[Enso]

I got $834 clicking in the 100-150 category. It helps to put in a mortgage amount to get accurate results.

My dad makes over 100k / year.

Guess he's ****ed.

Look at issue #2.

And also, if you fill in stuff like outstanding mortgage balance or education costs, it does show tax savings.

[adoniscomplex]

then how can you say 100k isnt that much if you make so much less

and does a person making that amount need a tax cut like people making ess then 100k do
someone making 100k a year is making around 2k a week
they arnt having the same struggles as someone making 30k a year

LOL @ your logic. If both of them live within their means they both would have the same stuggle. Not Mr.100K's fault, that Mr.30K bought a $250K house. Mr.100K shouldn't pay anymore taxes. People are living beyond their means and that is the problem. I used to work with a guy that made $110K/yr, and I watched him file bankruptcy. Your logic is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy flawed here.

ETA: Why should people who have gone to college and are succesful be taxed more becuase they decided to make something of themselves, or chose a good career path? If someone is making $30k it is their own damn fault.

The Republicans don't care about needs. They want fairness, and to them, equal taxation percentages are "fair".

[grapemaster]

it isn't that I don't make that much now...it is that I plan on making that much in the future..., i.e. all my superiors make that, and have several people in my close family that make that.

no
there is a certain point when your income wont cover the cost of increased living expense
example if you have someone making 25k and they have everything within there means but then gas goes up a dollar a gallon and so does other things
then this person is screwed which is what has happened on the last few years
the average american makes less now then 4 years ago
but everything costs more

Exactly. I think everone should pay the SAME tax. However, I do think their needs to be more regulation concerning CEO's and non-business owners setting their own salaries.

why is it everyone on bb.com says they are planning to make ...amount
literally the entire forum thinks they will be in the top 5%

Oh, I'm sorry. I did not realize that in America, there are 200 million CEO jobs that pay $4M annually.

The system WILL NOT ALLOW more than 5% of us to be super successful. It is IMPOSSIBLE for all of us to be rich. Perpetuating this myth is what the rich have done so well.

In America...anyone can become that rich bastard who does not have to work for a living...but not everyone can be that bastard.

Statistics show that VERY FEW people can be ultra successful financially...so stop pretending like it is the fault of the people.

It is the fault of the SYSTEM!!!

Well that sucks. They should have went to school and got a decent job not making $25k/Yr. All the oppurtunity is there, the people you are talking about chose not to take it.

see thats really messed up ceos can basically get paid whatever they want and fff the little guy

[gixxer0.6g]

Depends where you live.

Wahoo! I'll get a tax credit for college bills and retirement.....I'll vote for Obama....(not serious).

[Bnk]

This calc is very misleading just like everything else coming out of the Obama camp.

The calculator does not factor in AMT or the elimination of the cap on SSI.

[Onebadgtx]

see thats really messed up ceos can basically get paid whatever they want and fff the little guy

Agreed. But that has nothing to do with taxation. Which is why I said there needs to be more *regulation*.

its not like i am in the situation when i graduate my starting pay will be around 55k
but we cant let 60% of americans fall into a situation that they cant live
thats not good for the country

if they cant afford to live
they cant buy stuff which means the business all fail
america wont surivie if only the top 10% have money to spend

[tts0lid]

The funny thing is that everyone plans on making at least that when we are older. But only about 16% of households, not individuals make 100k or more.

[JUSA]

The Republicans don't care about needs. They want fairness, and to them, equal taxation percentages are "fair".

Nothing is fair about %5 of the population paying HALF of all taxes. I don't care how much they make.

And Obama wants them to shoulder MORE of the burden?
