I’m somewhat specialized in the field of taxation, and I know that it takes more than “facts and empirical evidence” to project tax liabilities. It also takes knowledge of tax history and politics.

Who pays raised corporate taxes?
You do through increased prices.

Who pays “value-added” taxes?
You do, a LOT, through increased prices.

Who pays the cap-and-trade taxes?
You do through higher energy bills.

Who pays raised federal taxes on tobacco, gasoline, alcohol, and soft drinks?
You do if you buy those products or buy from a source that uses them in production.

Who pays increased standards from environmental bills?
You do through no-common sense emission standards and testing.

Who pays for health-care and other mandates on businesses?
You do in higher prices and job cuts.

Who pays higher state taxes?
You and everyone. First, because Obama is shifting costs, like those for Medicaid, from the federal government to the states, and, second, because more businesses and higher income people leave for more tax-friendly states.

Who pays increased federal income taxes?
You do, and don’t be fooled into thinking that it will stop at $250,000. Obama lied to you.
PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge unrealistic

Who won’t believe any of this because he’s either too dense or in denial?
You and every other idiot who still believes Obama and harbors wealth-envy and hate.

What on earth are you talking about? I’m a scientist, and so I traffic in facts and empirical evidence. You, on the other hand, clearly are uninterested in these things, and prefer unsubstantiated talking points, ill-thought media blurbs, and, it appears, Turbo Tax calculations. Let’s stay on task, and, as I said before: try again.

Kind of like the exponentially-growing debt from Reagan, and now George W. Bush? You’re right, I am having to pay for that, and will continue to for a long time.

Still haven’t shown how my taxes are being raised by Obama, though. Try again.

If costs are not controlled and go up, the state can cover that increase with (1) direct fees from the users (e.g., tuition hikes), (2) with an increase in taxes, or (3) with an incrase in debt to be repaid with an increase in taxes. If the first option is eliminated, the other two options result in tax increases. Liberals are just too stupid.

Just wait until some of you realize that Obama’s wild spending actually has to be repaid by taxpayers, too. But, he does have another option that states don’t have…print dollars like they are going out of style and repay federal debt with an equal number of dollars that are worth much less. Of course, that creates inflation, which is a hidden tax on the public in that it results in less purchasing power. (Ref: the 1960’s and 1970’s)

You don’t get something for nothing. (Do I need to cite the source for those words of wisdom?)

The paperwork is complex and the child up to this point may have NEVER delt with government paperwork.

It just takes a caring adult.

My income taxes are going up $2000-5000 this year? That’s news to me. Can you cite this?

Celeste, if you’re so worried about tuition hikes for students, why aren’t you worried about tax hikes for their parents?
