  2. What Really Happened to Your Taxes While Obama Was President Ian Salisbury Jan 19, 2017 With Donald Trump and the Republicans set to take the reins of government, Washington's economic priorities are clear: Expect big tax cuts, especially for business owners and wealthy investors, in the name of invigorating economic growth. That's going to be a big contrast with President Obama and the Democrats, who put bigger emphasis on using tax policy to correct a wealth distribution they consider unfair. But claims that Obama dramatically raised taxes -- as was frequentlycharged by his opponents -- were exaggerations designed to rile up the Republican base. While Obama did raise some taxes, mostly to pay for Obamacare, there was no major tax overhaul of the kind Trump and Republicans hope to accomplish. In fact, in 2013 Obama signed a compromise bill making permanent the tax cuts enacted by his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush. As of 2013, the Tax Policy Center found that, under Obama, the top 1% of earners paid an effective federal tax rate of roughly 32%, compared to about 27% under Bush. But middle earners paid roughly 12%, almost exactly the same as under the previous president, while low earners paid a bit less -- about 2.3%, rather than 3.5%. The tax changes under Obama basically fell into two buckets: Obamacare tax increases, and tax cut extensions. Obamacare Tax Impact What new taxes did take effect over the last eight years were largely related to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, designed to be 44th president's signature achievement. The ambitious goal of providing health care for all Americans required a slew of new taxes, both to help pay for new insurance subsidies and as prods for healthier behavior. When the right-leaning Americans for Tax Reform published "A Full List of Obama Tax Hikes," 19 of the 20 items were explicitly tied to Obamacare. (The remaining item -- a hike in excise taxes on tobacco -- was tied to health policy.) The largest of the new taxes, which was projected to raise $123 billion over a decade, was a 2.3% surtax on investment income -- capital gains and dividends -- owed by households making at least $250,000 or individuals earning $200,000. Other big-ticket items include a 0.9% increase in the Medicare payroll tax on the same group of high earners (forecast to raise $86 billion over 10 years) and the much-derided Obamcare individual mandate -- a new $695 to $2,085 penalty owed by anyone who doesn't buy a health plan (forecast to to raise $65 billion, in conjunction with similar employer penalties). Both the Obamacare mandate and the tobacco excise tax have been singled out as hitting the middle class. This is technically true, but not the whole story, since both are designed around shaping behavior, rather than raising revenue. While the fate of Obamacare itself remains unclear, early research suggests the tobacco tax has been at least partly successful at reducing use. Bush Tax Cuts Preserved Outside of health care, meanwhile, Obama's tax legacy is largely one of preserving George W. Bush's lower rates, at least for the middle class. The American Taxpayer Relief Act, which Obama signed into law as part of a "fiscal cliff" budget deal in January 2013, made roughly $2.8 trillion of Bush's expiring $3.4 trillion tax cuts permanent, according the the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The law preserved lower, Bush-era income-tax brackets, with a top rate of 35% for taxpayers earning less than $400,000 and couples earning less than $450,000. The deal also made permanent the $1,000 child tax credit, up from $500, and the elimination of the so-called "marriage penalty" by allowing couples to take a standard deduction that was twice the size of the one available for singles. Meanwhile the estate tax -- a favorite of liberals and a longtime target of conservatives -- was pegged at 40%, with estates of less than about $5 million exempt. (Without the legislative fix that Obama signed, the top estate tax rate had been set to rise to 55%, and kick in on estates worth more than $1 million.) While the law didn't receive universal Republican support, it grabbed votes from the Republicans likely to serve as key players in any upcoming Trump administration tax reform, including current House speaker Paul Ryan and current Ways and Means Chairmen Kevin Brady. “After more than a decade of criticizing these tax cuts,” said then House Ways and Means Chairman, Dave Camp in 2013, “Democrats are finally joining Republicans in making them permanent. Republicans and the American people are getting something really important, permanent tax relief.”
  3. You need to Highlight where the Middle class was taxed please,,,And by the way you only posted a lot of stuff from a website that leans far right as I expected you would before you even posted your link. https://www.atr.org/obamacare’s-top-five-middle-class-tax-hikes
  4. PAY ATTENTION GENTLEMEN AND REMEMBER WHO CONTROLS THE HOUSE,THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE RIGHT NOW
  5. Just watch the other ladies,,please don't let them get you angry,,they will be gone soon
  6. That's the reason why you don't hear me complaining about any of these girls,,,if they are useless i don't watch them or waste my time or energy talking about them, complaining about them never gets them kicked out or cut their stay short, so there is no point in complaining the entire time while they are here ,,,So I just wait until they leave,,although sometimes that takes a very long time.
  7. I need to see your proof of this please,Although I'm not middle class,,nobody that I know of got a tax increase that was in the middle class
  8. I understand your frustration Seb,,,, but the thing is if you don't like them,,then why waste your precious time watching them? Either watch the other girls or other Apts....and if the entire RLC is pathetic or useless why not just Cancel your membership?
  9. I am always happy,,,and watching Nicole and Sofie yesterday makes me happy,, If I wasn't happy being here I would have left a long time ago.
  10. It's spelt pathetic Guys if you are gonna talk negatively about these ladies, at least spell your words correctly and form a proper sentence so we can know what you are saying,,or at least trying to say anyway please,,thank you.
  11. I wish people here did this,,but they don't,,,the more it bores them is the more they pay for it and keep watching just to bitch some more about how boring it is lol
  12. Thanks Eagle Exactly,,,,I don't know what the hell these guys are smoking but they need to stop being selfish and puff puff pass How the fuck can anyone credit Trump with growing the economy when he hasn't done shit legislatively, to fix or improve anything,,,if anything it's still Obama's policies that are still affecting our economy. I just laugh anyway,,because I already know misguided flocks of Republican Sheep when I see them,, you guys can pull all the so called facts and talking points out your asses or from the far right Fake News media sources online all you want to,,,the fact is Trump doesn't know shit about how to run this country and I will be here to say I told you so at the end of his 4 year term,,if that fucker lasts that long. I will never kiss any Politician's ass like I see some of you on here love to do,,,,just because you are republican it's like an automatic hatred for Democrats no matter what,,, Politics in this country is way worse than sports rivalry,,, the hatred for the other team is beyond despicable,,, No one person or no one party is ever always right on everything,,,that's the reason why our founding fathers gave us 2,,and now 3 if you want to be independent like I am. Hilary Clinton is no saint either by any stretch of the imagination,,,but compared to trump,,,she is still to me the lesser of two evils. I'm not here to try and convince anyone to come over to my independent thinking side, because judging by most of the comments here,,a lot of you are too far gone,,and there is no saving any of you,,you are either a hardcore Dem or Rep,,,and nothing or nobody is ever gonna tell you different. And thank you Eagle for pointing it out,,about trump not getting shit done so I don't see why people here are grasping at any thing they can,, and post it here to make Trump look like he's doing shit,,, the only thing Trump is more focused on is how long it takes for the weekend to get here so he can head to Florida to play golf,,, If Obama was doing that shit that Trump is doing right now,,,this entire Thread would be filled with insults as to why the fuck is Obama playing golf so much and not focusing on the Country and Jobs,,,talk about being a Hypocrite. Ok I'm done now

Nicole is not broke or filthy rich, but she does make good money. I'm only sorry for you guys who have to wait until I'm done running through all these ladies only to send them back to all of you the next day and after I wear them out so much that they can only sleep all day.
  14. Don't worry after Nicole left the Apt she came straight over to my house and I fucked her for real in real life,,, I could send you the video of me fucking the brakes off her pussy after you send me $45 + tax.
  15. Despite all the sturm und drang halfway through a wild first year for President Trump, the U.S. economy is no better off now than before he took office. This the week the government is expected to report a nearly 3% advance in second-quarter gross domestic product, the official scorecard for the economy. While that would mark a big improvement on 1.4% growth in the first quarter, it would leave the U.S. on the same 2% trajectory it’s been on since the end of the Great Recession. That’s less than two-thirds the nation’s historic rate of growth. “I think expectations after the election got way ahead of themselves,” said Richard Moody, chief economist at Regions Financial. “Growth is pretty much where it’s been the past eight years.” Read: Here’s what the Trump Scoreboard says about his performance The former businessman-turned-president promised to change all that, of course. Trump and his advisers have repeatedly promised they could ramp the economy up to 3% growth, an outcome that could better the lives of millions of Americans now and in the future. Yet as the White House’s failure to pass a health-care makeover shows, Washington is a hard place to get things done. Most of the president’s agenda such as tax cuts and higher spending on public works is languishing, even in a Congress controlled by the president’s own party. And pessimism is growing about White House scoring any big wins before the end of 2017. “At this point, it’s highly unlikely any substantive policy reforms — health care, tax and infrastructure— will be accomplished this year,” predicted Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at the business-consultant firm RSM. Read: Washington taming Trump, not the other way around, Obamacare debacle shows Even if the White House scores some big wins, however, the effects are unlikely to work their way through the economy until 2018 at the earliest. The gridlock in Washington and unswerving path of the economy are certain to be on the minds of senior Federal Reserve officials when they convene to set the level of a key U.S. interest rate. The Fed is expected to stand pat. What Wall Street wants to know after the Fed meeting on Wednesday is whether the central bank is turning cautious again. The Fed still seems unified on its plan to start selling off part of its $4.5 trillion portfolio in Treasurys and mortgage-backed bonds that it acquired over the past decade to keep down U.S. interest rates. Investors are hoping this week to find out just exactly when the drawdown will begin. Investors are less certain about whether the Fed will proceed with plans to increase the cost of borrowing one more time in 2017. Some senior Fed officials appear to be having second thoughts, especially after a recent slowdown in inflation. Even with the unemployment rate near a 16-year low of 4.4%, wages are only rising modestly and price pressures more broadly have waned. Nor are consumers or businesses spending and investing at levels that suggest an overheating economy — far from it. “Even more hawkish officials seem to have altered their views due to inflation,” said Omair Sharif, senior economist at SG Global Economics. Read: What inflation? Consumer prices go nowhere in June As a result, investors are unsure the Fed will stick to script. The closely followed FedWatch tool puts the odds of another Fed rate hike in 2017 at 46.9% in December.
  16. Unless I missed it,,,did anyone here even mention how Sofie was recording herself with the dildo while she was using it on Nicole?
  17. I like watching you do your staged, scripted and fake outrage comments to get a reaction out of us
