so what do you think on raising higher taxes?

top ten luxury watches for women image

L

everyone who has a kid and/or is married, got a tax cut. The tax increase democrats are passing is the highest in history, and all will suffer. Fact is, any tax increase hurts people with the least amount of money, tax increases don't really hurt rich people, they have plenty. People with little to moderate income are most hurt b/c they are usually barely making ends meet and taking more from them gives them less to save and spend.

Critics of the tax cutes predicted disaster, supporters the opposite, and now supporters have been proven right by more than three years of prosperity.

"The dividend rate would snap back to 39.6% from 15%, the capital gains rate to 20% from 15%, and the top marginal income tax rate to 39.6% from 35%. Marginal and average tax rates for the middle class would also increase, returning to the Clinton-era levies that had driven taxes as a share of GDP to a postwar high of 20.9%. "

"With an anticipated take of $400 billion over five years, the result would be a bigger tax increase than Bill Clinton's in 1993 -- the one that helped cost Democrats control of Congress the following year. "

"Come 2011, many families will be hit by a renewed marriage penalty. Consequently, 23 million Americans will then be hit with an average tax increase of $466. That same year, the child tax credit will be cut in half, costing 31 million Americans an average of $859 in more taxes."

"When the damage is tallied, 115 million working Americans would watch their taxes climb an average of $1,795, with 26 million small business owners being hit more than twice as hard at $3,960. The fact that these are average figures, incidentally, does not change the reality that taxes paid by middle-class families, not just the richest 1 percent, would be scheduled to go up under the Democratic plan."

"Taxpayers won't fare any better under the Senate's budget blueprint...[T]he plan championed by Democratic Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad would raise taxes by $2,641 per household over the next ten years."

Tax cuts work. They worked when JFK did it, when Reagan did it, and again when Bush did.

Here's what will happen if they eliminate the tax cut as planned:

... You're a family of four earning $60,000 a year: Your income-tax bill will rise 61% in 2011, from $3,030 to $4,893.

... You're an elderly couple earning $40,000 a year: Your taxes will go up by 156% in 2011, from $583 to $1,489.

... You're a woman: You could be one of the 83 million American women who could see their taxes rise by an average of $2,068.

... You're married: You could be one of the 48 million married couples who will pay an average of $2,899 more under the liberal tax increase.

... You have kids: 42 million families with children will pay an average of $2,181 more in taxes.

... You're a small-business owner: 26 million small-business owners will get a tax bill for an average of $3,960 more than before.

Democrats are socialists in liberal clothing. They want to be sure you keep less than half your money (when you add federal + state + local + sales + property, etc. taxes). The programs they use this money to support are ineffective.

Tax cuts let people keep more of the property they earned.

Fancy is a fabricator
"They [the wealthy] are using 95% of the PUBLIC resources, so they should be paying 95% of taxes" that is utter BS. This has been proven time and time again. Most of the money goes to entitlement programs, which the wealthy do not benefit from. People like Fancy must create fanciful lies because reality doesn't support their belief system, and rather than change, they lie. The rich pay the most and get the least.

The fact is that the effective federal tax rate (taxes as a share of income) has fallen for every income group over the last 20 years EXCEPT those with upper incomes.

For those in the bottom quintile (20 percent of the population), the tax burden has fallen from 8.3 percent in 1981 to 5.3 percent this year.

Those in the middle quintile saw a drop from 21.9 percent to 20 percent.

The other quintiles also saw a decline, except those in the top quintile, who saw an increase in their tax rate from 27.1 percent to 27.4 percent.
YOU FOOL ONCE WE TAX ON THE RICH THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE THEIR BUISNESSES ELSE WERE. THEN THE PEOPLE WORKING ON THOSE BUISNESSES WOULD NOT HAVE NOBODY PAYING THEM. THEN THE ECONOMY WILL GO DOWN

Answer
Raising taxes is liberal way of governance. More money for entitlements to buy their way into power. People are sick and tired of it. I know I am. There is a luxury subdivision not far from my home and it is stacked top to bottom with subsidized low income families. I've worked my ass off all of my life to have what I have and I can tell you now I will never ever be able to afford that type of housing, NEVER. When you do all the right things and you see crap like that and know YOU are the one paying for it, it boils your blood. The Dems get in and the first thing they start talking about it raising my taxes to pay for more useless BS programs. I can see the little money they do let me have flying right out of my pocket even as we speak.

I heard that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart used to spend about ten hours everyday for practicing.Is that true?

Human

Answer
I highly doubt that Mozart practiced 10 hours a day. It would almost be impossible for him to practice 10 hours a day and there were periods of time that he probably didn't practice for a couple weeks.

1. As a child he went on several tours to perform. The only method of travel during Mozart's time was horse and carriage. I trip from Salzburg to Italy which he did on 3 separate occasions probably took a month to. He may have been lucky to have a piano to practice on at an Inn where he and his father would rest at night. Chances that the Inn had a piano are slim, so during travel Mozart most likely didn't practice.

He had many travel days throughout his career - trips to Mannheim, Italy, Vienna, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Zurich and many more.

2. When Mozart was a child, he spent a significant amount of time composing. Since he didn't have the luxuries of a computer and notation software like Finale, it can be deduced that notating his compositions took a great deal of time. Mozart is said to be able to compose an entire piece in his head and then transcribe it to paper but even with his geniusness, it takes time to put things on paper! Remember they used ink that took a lot longer to dry than our ball points pens.

3. Even though Mozart was pressured by his father constantly, practicing was not an issue with Leopold. He knew his son was talented and understood that Wolfgang would practice seriously. Leopold watched over his son's practicing - both on piano and violin. Wolfgang did not practice without his father watching over as Leopold wanted to make sure everything was done properly and didn't want Wolfgang to develop bad habits and get lazy. Leopold knew that if was not watching over that Wolfgang would fall to this. Wolfgang was a mischievious child and his immaturity would always be a characteristic in his music and in his life as he grew up. Leopold also watched over Wolfgang sister Nannerl and her practice. Leopold was also won of the top string teachers in Salzburg and had many students. Leopold performed in the court orchestra and also composed. It is highly unlikely that Leopold could watch over Wolfgang practice for 10 hours!

3. When Mozart was married, he spent more time applying for jobs attempting to earn a post at a church to earn a living. He and Constanze did not have deep pockets, they were completely the opposite. They were poor... very poor. What ever Mozart could do to make money he did! He took on many commissions to provide for him and his family. I is said to compose operas in a month. To compose an opera in a month takes a lot of commitment to the score, therefore practicing 10 hours a day would be impossible.

Remember Mozart also taught, he had many students who were mostly female. During Mozart's time a piano lesson wasn't once a week for 1 hour. Lessons were every day. One could say lessons were supervised practice. The women he taught were well off and from upper class families. Many of the women would have 3 or 4 hour lessons with Mozart which included piano, violin and the study of counterpoint.

It would be impossible for Mozart to practice 10 hours a day with his teaching schedule, time committed to composition, travel days, searching for jobs, chamber rehearsals and rehearsing church choirs.
