  Taxes really haven't been raised, not significantly, except on the ultra wealthy.  

My brother, you know the above is simply not true. Obama is choking the life out of the upper middle class. As y'all already know, I try hard to stay out of political debates and politics in general. It usually leads to no good. As such, I will quietly stand down and sadly, go back to work. 

Let's just focus on income taxes, because I'm guessing that's where most of your income comes from, right?

All of Bush's tax cuts were extended by Obama through 2012 - the first four years of his Presidency.  In 2013, the rates on the top 1% of income brackets were raised from 35% to 39.6%, which is where they were under Clinton.  That's it.  Lower brackets - really everything that anyone would consider middle class - weren't changed at all.  

This really isn't in dispute.  It was all part of the bipartisan fiscal cliff deal in 2013 that was all over the news.  I guess maybe you're just trolling here.

You still 81?

@JohnInCarolina, you are so right, degrees are another pathetic result of the current democratic convention, everyone gets a trophy.  I'm thankful that I have degrees from the university of Kentucky, the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Indiana University College of Medicine, the University of South Florida College of Medicine and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.  Of course, I was a slow learner and didn't earn any of them.  Thankfully I'm a voter, and a thoughtful one with those hand out degrees.

He is? -Absolutely he is. It's a undeniable fact.

I'm breathing just fine. -I'm glad that is the case. Others are struggling and suffering though. 

You may have COPD, -Thankfully I do not  

and should see your PCP. -I have, and again, thankfully all was well other than a extreme case of being over worked and over taxed.

Right.  So on a serious note, I was voted one of the ten best plastic surgeons in GA based on social media reviews.  Yup.

I think that's more schools than Sarah Palin attended!

The correct response here would have been 89, not 81. You see, most of the times, the democrats have the numbers wrong. Even when it's just a joke. Never trust them young man. In the end you will get bit. They will take your money and laugh all the way to the bank while you are sitting in the poor house. They will tell you that they are taking 30% when in reality it's a different number. Just like the 89 and 81 above. I have to get out of this discussion. I try to avoid politics on the forum.

Thank you @johnnyp.  @JohninCarolina, probably brother!

Reality does have a well known liberal bias.

I'm just bored at the moment. We are on stand by while they turn the ship around in port. I start babbling when I have nothing to do. It's always fun to stir the demos up. I live for it my friend. I honestly do it for fun. No ill intent at all. It's no secret that I'm good friends with Nola and he is a die hard demo. I love him just the same. I do the same thing on the BBQ Brethern forum. Only there it's the UDS guys I stir up instead of the demos. You have to be real careful over there though, they will ban you if they know you are doing it intentionally.

Duke professors are prostitutes @nolaegghead, interviewed for them, only politics.  Spanked their candidate on paper but she was really pretty, blonde.  Can't match that!

What was the f up?  Letting Laettner catch a ball thrown all the way across the court?

bgebrent

@JohninCarolina, before I hunt your **** as down and plant a 9 mm in your head, just kidding.  You know the mistake was not gaurding the inbound passer!  Laetner was lucky as proven by his long nba career.  John, seriously I enjoy your input and I don't own one gun
