Resolved Question: Barack Obama Is A Big Fat Liar?
“This message was a central theme and a significant percentage of the Obama campaign’s advertising in 2008,” Tracey said. His organization estimated last November that Obama’s campaign spent $250 million on television advertising, meaning that about 17 percent of all of Obama’s ads were denouncing McCain for this proposal. The ads left no wiggle room: Announcer: John McCain on health care. John McCain: “I want to give every American a 5,000-dollar refundable tax credit.” Announcer: Here’s the truth. Barack Obama: “He says that he’s going to give you a 5,000-dollar tax credit. What he doesn’t tell you is that he is going to tax your employer-based health-care benefits for the first time ever. So what one hand giveth, the other hand taketh away.” Announcer: John McCain. Instead of fixing health care, he wants to tax it. Barack Obama: I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message. Of course, it wasn’t just ads. Obama hammered the point again and again in his stump speech. On September 12, 2008, while appearing in Dover, N.H., Obama said: And I can make a firm pledge: under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase — not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital-gains taxes, not any of your taxes. My opponent can’t make that pledge, and here’s why: For the first time in American history, he wants to tax your health benefits. Apparently, Senator McCain doesn’t think it’s enough that your health premiums have doubled, he thinks you should have to pay taxes on them too. That’s a $3.6 trillion tax increase on middle-class families. That will eventually leave tens of millions of you paying higher taxes. That’s his idea of change. Notice there’s no mention of income level, or certain limited circumstances in which it would be acceptable to tax health benefits. No suggestion that the proposal might be something he would accept a compromise on. No ifs, no ands, no buts. In early October he went even further, calling McCain’s plan “so radical, so out of touch with what you’re facing, and so out of line with our basic values.” On Capitol Hill, however, Democrats have long liked the idea as a new form of tax revenue. Obama’s relentless denunciation of the proposal would seem to preclude his signing it into law, but “would seem to” is not “does.” Back in March, White House budget director Peter Orszag said taxing employer benefits was among several ideas that “most firmly should remain on the table,” and some congressional Democrats told the Washington Post that White House officials said Obama would accept such a tax “as long as he didn’t have to propose it himself.” Finally, during Wednesday’s p.r. push for his health-care plan, Obama refused to rule out the proposal that he once said made John McCain unfit for office. “I don’t want to prejudge what they’re doing,” he said about Senate proposals to tax workers who get expensive insurance policies. “I have identified the ways that I think we should finance this. I think Congress should adopt them. I’m going to wait and see what ideas ultimately they come up with.” Poof! What was once “so radical, so out of touch with what you’re facing, and so out of line with our basic values” now is not worthy of prejudgment. Where does John McCain get his reputation back? And if Obama will do an about-face on this issue, is there any promise he’s made that is not approaching an inevitable expiration date? moreResolved Question: Do you still believe him?
In a speech on September 12, 2008 in Dover, New Hampshire, Obama said, "I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, NOT ANY OF YOUR TAXES." moreResolved Question: Can you name an actual president who has been successful using PURE Liberal policies?
Clinton was not a PURE liberal. He cut spending and lowered capital gains. All he policies of economic growth was based on balencing the budget. Liberals spend more, tax everything, expand the government massivly, redistribution of wealth, and so on... BTW FDR was not successful. That New Deal thing failed. What the New Deal gave America was relief, but it did not solve the problem, it only prolonged it. It also left America with more debt. When FDR took office in 1933 (Year New Deal was passed.) unemployment was over 24%. In 1935 (Year second New Deal was passed) unemployment was at 18%. In 1939, it was 17.2%. In 1943(During the War) it was 1.9%. In 1940 (before the War), unemployment was still over 17%. That doesn’t really seem to me like something that worked really well. World War II on the other hand did get us out of the Depression. It made unemployment go away and it awakened the industrial might of America. The New Deal did not. All the New Deal left us with was higher debt and a larger government… I think FDR’s own staff members can summarize how badly the New Deal failed, like what Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of Treasury for FDR, said once. He said - “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and now if I am wrong somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosper. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. I say after eight years of this administration, we have just as much unemployment as when we started. And enormous debt to boot.” That came from FDR’s own staff member! The numbers don’t lie either. Redistribution of wealth, which is what a stimulus does, does not create wealth or jobs! It only changes who has the money… Soruces for New Deal failure: http://geekpolitics.com/the-new-deal-didnt-work-the-first-time-lets-try-it-again/ http://www.academia.org/campus_reports/2002/summer_2002_3.html http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=176 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1089131/Great-myth-New-Deal-Depression-era-plan-prolonged-US-economic-slump-makes-poor-model-Britain.html http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/12/06/obamas-describes-his-new-deal-program/ As for JFK, he was an advocate of fiscal spending and tax cuts. He believed in less government. He was mostly a conservative... So please don't use him, he is not a liberal like Obama... BTW ey Now, Reagan ring a bell? Yes i can name a conservative and conservative leaders in history... BTW avail, conservatives don't want pre FDR, that would be anrchists... We want Reagan Third Party is right, Bush increased spending, expanded government, and used a failed stimulus. moreVoting Question: Future to be a Tax Preparer Am I correct?

By electing John Bercow as speaker - the man claimed the maximum expenses - Parliament evidently has no respect for British outrage at MPs expense claims. John Bercow claimed almost double in expenses what the deposed speaker, Michael Martin claimed - surely Parliament is having a laugh at electors expense (as well as lining their feather nests with tax payers money) John Bercow expenses were maximum possible - this is what the Telegraph reported: John Bercow – Conservative MP for Buckingham – 48 miles from London. Designated second home London. Married with two sons Majority 18,129 ACA (additional Costs Allowance) – equal first, claiming maximum of £23,083 Salary £64,766 ACA TOTAL claimed £23,083 Mortgage / rent13,958 Cleaning / Laundry 400 Food 1,100 Gardening 0 Repairs / renovation 2,525 Furniture / electrical 0 Other 5,100 The MP for Buckingham flipped the designation of his main and second homes between London and his constituency and designated each as his main home at the time he sold it. It meant he paid no Capital Gains Tax on either sale. While he has insisted that he had done nothing wrong, Mr Bercow said that he had decided to “voluntarily” pay the taxman £6,508 plus VAT – the tax which he could have been required to pay on the profit from the sale of one of the houses. Mr Bercow, a former member of the shadow cabinet, claimed a total of £143,455 in second home allowances between 2001 and 2008. Mr Bercow has made clear his intention to run for the Speaker’s job when elections are held to find Michael Martin’s successor. He replaces deposed speaker Michael Martin whose expenses were reported in the Daily Telegraph as: Michael Martin – deposed speaker, (Labour before he became Speaker) MP for Glasgow North East. Married with one son and one daughter. Majority 10,134 – distance from London 369 miles. Designated second home, Glasgow. Salary £141,866 Additional costs allowance (ACA) £11,750 = total claimed Mortgage / rent0 Cleaning / laundry1,144 Food3,250 Gardening 168 Repairs / renovations 595 Furniture / electrical1,839 Other4,754 Mr Martin, who stands down as Speaker of the Commons this month.

From West to East: A Transition of Power? It has been a long roller coaster ride for the world to take the path for economic recovery. Economists can't even tell a concrete duration when will the crisis ends. For past weeks, as the stock markets start to bounce back, currencies devalue the safe havens, US dollar and Japanese Yen, road to recovery is a common sentiment for all. Demand for commodities helps top exporting countries of commodities to gain back their losses. According to Bloomberg Television, it was on March 9, 2009 when the WORST day for the world economy reaches decade lows as plenty companies shut down their factories and plants to reduce expenses, this result to millions of people are losing their jobs around the world. "Developed World" is the undeniably the roots of this global fiasco, when the real state business in Wall Street headed to ground followed by the collapse of the Lehman Brothers in England in September 2008. It is a chain reaction, financial giants struggles which cause incipient countries to be affected. On the side of the eastern part of the globe, which most are still "DEVELOPING" , are also battered by this global economic downturn, however, it can be noted that there is at least lesser effect on them, except for Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore, - which until now is suffering from massive losses. There are speculations on the “transition of power” giving the throne to Asia. The idea starts when CHINA shows a rapid growth in their economy which is about 12.5%, compared to the western power which is 0 to 5% only. This gives analysts to project the world ranking by at least 20-50 years from now. If you do arithmetic, it shows that China will overcome today's economic giant -United States- which for now is almost three times larger than its runner up. -Japan. However, since the crisis began, developed countries experienced a negative growth, and a slowdown for emerging countries. There are two ways in computing the GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP), which made a long argument among economists, traders and analysts. 1. NOMINAL 2. PPP (purchasing power parity) However, nominal is the most commonly used for economists to make the ranking. The latter however is use in more technical comparison, since it includes the inflation rate, currency exchange and other vital information. For 2008, The ranking for the World's Top 15 LARGEST ECONOMY (GDP nominal) 1. United States 2. Japan 3. China 4. Germany 5. France 6. United Kingdom 7. Italy 8. Russia 9. Spain 10. Brazil 11. Canada 12. India 13. Mexico 14. Australia 15. South Korea We all know that GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the sum of all goods, trades, products, investments, revenues of a country in a given time. It can be quarterly or annually. Above ranking is for year 2008. To determine the world's WEALTHIEST country, which I believe one of the standards to become "DEVELOPED COUNTRY" GDP will be divided by the total population. So for above the countries GDP 2008 will be divided by their total population on 2008(not only those who are in the workforce). The quotient will be their GDP per Capita. The quotient will then be assessed. If I am not mistaken, at least 25,000 should me met. Other standards include infrastructures, poverty rate, unemployment rate, political stability, well-regarded university, literacy rate, crime level, occurrence of natural disaster, sanitation and the likes. Comparison: Which do you think is wealthier? A country with total output of $1,000,000 with 1,000,000 people? Or a country with an output of $5,000 with 100 people? THAT'S IT! On recent news, however, China is regarded to save the world by years to come. While China is the 3rd largest economy in the world up-to-date, (surpassed Germany in late 2008), China remains a developing country, with low GDP per capita, high level of violation, and percentage of the population living below the poverty line. Outside Shanghai (its financial capital) and Beijing (country's capital) people are poor with lesser civilization. With its huge population, the country is one of the most densely populated that makes social issue beyond its border, and other contemporary issues towards its government, people, etc. (Ex. Bird Flu, and the Contamination of Milk) Hong Kong is an autonomous region of China. Trivia: China is one of the 1st or 2nd most populous countries in the world with at least 1.1 billion people making MANDARIN as the world's most spoken language than any ANGLOPHONE countries combined. (U.S, U.K, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines etc.). However, English remains to be the supreme language of intellect, making English to be the international language, especially for business, spoken even by Chinese.

In our parallel universe we elected John McCain / Sarah Palin on Nov 4th 2008 and let me report to you that by now we've got lower corporate tax, and as the result we've got 10,000,000 new jobs and Dow Jones soared to 25,000. Due to such tremendous gains in the stock market large sums of money we raised through capitals tax gains and by Apr 1st we already had $1 trillion budget surplus. Our new President McCain wisely invested the surplus in science and technology, and the result was discovery AAA-sized thermonuclear reactors and also discovery of quantum leaps which made it possible to us to post questions on Y!A to your alternative Loser's Universe. moreResolved Question: Investment strategy with zero capital gains tax?

THE PROMISE: "And I can make a firm pledge: Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 will see their taxes increase — not your income taxes, not your payroll taxes, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." — Dover, N.H., Sept. 12, 2008. THE PERFORMANCE: The federal excise tax rose by the largest amount ever on April 1 after Obama signed the increase into law. The tax hit tobacco users, who are disproportionately low income. THE PROMISE: "I will remove one or two brigades a month, and get all of our combat troops out of Iraq within 16 months." — October 2007 and again in the summer and fall 2008 campaign. THE PERFORMANCE: His timetable for withdrawal shifted during the campaign, but two brigades are not leaving every month like he promised. At one point, in January 2008, he was promising to remove combat troops by the end of this year, 11 months after taking office. THE PROMISE: "And, absolutely, we need earmark reform. And when I'm president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely." He also promised a "Transparency and Integrity in Earmarks Act" that would require a lawmaker seeking money for a pet project — known as an earmark — to justify it in writing 72 hours before it could win Senate approval. — Presidential debate, Sept. 26, 2008. PERFORMANCE: No action on such a measure. On March 11, Obama signed into law a $410 billion spending bill to finance the government through September — a measure that included 7,991 earmarks costing $5.5 billion. He signed the bill while calling it "imperfect" and urging tighter controls on pet projects. THE PROMISE: "Every dollar I've proposed, I've proposed an additional cut that it matches." — Presidential debate, Oct. 15, 2008. THE PERFORMANCE: The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimated his policy proposals would add a net $428 billion to the deficit over four years, even accounting for his spending reduction goals. Now, the deficit is nearly quadrupling to $1.75 trillion, and few independent analysts believe he can meet his goal of halving the deficit in five years. moreResolved Question: capital gains question?

I have received many shares when I worked for RBS through the annual profit sharing and BAYE schemes. These shares were allocated annually at the following prices: 2004 - 351 shares at £4.26 2005 - 340 shares at £4.37 2006 - 319 shares at £4.69 2007 - 380 shares at £5.21 2008 - 725 shares at £2.75 on top of this, I accumulated 500 shares at various prices through the Buy As You Earn scheme. When I left the bank last year, the shares were released to me, but as I had not paid tax on the value used to buy the shares, I had to pay tax and NIC based on the price of the shares (£1.75) when I left the bank. I need to know what is the base cost of the shares for CGT purposes, as I'd like to sell them to realise a loss, to offset against future capital gains. Do I use the 1669 shares that I obtained, after tax and NIC and use the price at £1.75, or do I use the actual price I paid, but then how do I proportionate the tax etc. If I use the actual price paid, then the loss will be bigger, to my future advantage. I know this is very detailed, but I am sure there will be some ex-tax office, very knowledgeable people that use this site that can help me. Thanks 18 hours ago - 1 week left to answer. Additional Details I have found this HMRC helpsheet, which suggests that the book cost is when the shares were allocated to me, but I'd still value an expert's opinion! http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/helpsheets/hs287.... Thanks onestep, these were profit sharing schemes that I received as shares in lieu of cash, so did not pay tax or NIC on them when they were bought. However, when I left the company, they were released to me and I had to sell a percentage to cover the tax and NIC that had to be paid. moreResolved Question: I did not report my 2008 stocks losses to tax, could that still be use into account for 2009.?

The 2008 tax code was established under Bush. The income tax rate has been the same since 2003. Why weren't there any "tea parties" between 2003 and 2008? The original Boston Tea Party was a protest against taxes imposed on the colonies by the British Govt. because the colonies had no representation when the taxes were decided. They were NOT protesting taxes, they were protesting taxation without representation, hence the historical phrase "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!".........The key word is representation, NOT taxes. Under Ronald Reagan, the income tax rate for the lowest bracket was 12% (82-86), 11% (87), and 15% (88-90). The tax rate for the lowest tax bracket for 2008 AND 2009 is 10%. For only 3 of 8 years in which the tax code was written while Reagan was in office (87-90), was the HIGHEST tax bracket lower than 2008 AND 2009(35%). Every other year under Reagan was higher than 2008-2009. So, my question is this:What is it all about? -The income tax code is no different that it was under Bush and will remain the same through 2009. -Voting for a Congressperson that lost is NOT the same thing as what was going on in the colonies. The guy you voted for lost, sorry try again next time, just like everybody else. -Income taxes under Obama for 2008 were approved under Bush, extend through 2009, and are LOWER for the middle class than at any time under Reagan. There weren't any tea parties back then. Why not? In case you need it.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States The history is down toward the bottom.

Can I sell some this year and carry it back?
Saw this, but not sure if it's true. Can someone verify? "It is the net capital loss against the TAXABLE capital gains of the year, and the inclusion rate of both (capital loss or capital gain) is 1/2. In other words, while only half of your capital loss is deductible, only half of capital gain is taxable as income. If you have capital losses that cannot be used in the current year, you can carry back the losses to any of the 3 preceding taxation years. Capital losses can also be carried forward indefinitely. These losses will then be available to use in a future tax year. The carryover amount is the net capital loss, which in recent years has been 1/2 (inclusion rate) of the capital loss. This loss amount claimed cannot exceed the amount of taxable capital gains (1/2 of the capital gains) of the year. 6 months ago" moreResolved Question: Question about tax return in Canada ..what do I do if I made a mistake?
Here is my scenerio.. I invested $$ in mutual funds and had capital gains in 2007 but did not file in 2008.

I was given a home from my parents last year. I claimed depreciation on the house for 2008 and was told by the tax office that when I decide to sell the house I will have to pay a tax on the depreciation claimed during my ownership unless I live in the house for 2 years but since I live in NM and the home is in Maine I don't see me using the home except has a summer/fall camp. My question is that my parents owned the house from 1996 - 2007 and also claimed depreciation on the house throughout those years, but since the house was gifted to me and no capital gains had to be claimed do I or my parents have to pay a tax for the years of 1996 - 2007?

My mother has (had) an account with Lehman. Got 1099 from them (just yesterday!) for the first 9 months of the year. Got another 1099 from the company that processed her stuff for the remaining 3 months of 2008. I don't know much about this, but as far as capital gains go she was trying to figure all of this out because she had to come up with the "buy" date and then compare it to the "sell" date to figure out what is long term vs. short term, how much gain, etc. This seems ridiculous to me. What are we missing? You can't be expected to keep track of every stock buy/sell on your own and then figure it out at tax time each year, are you? She has only had the account for 5 years so right now she was only dealing with 5 years of statements, but there has to be a better way. So to the first answerer, if she has this account for 20 years she is expected to pull out every statement from the beginning to see when the buy date was? They did not send her a summary, those dates were not on the 1099 and I think she has a better chance of pigs projecting from her rear that getting that information from Lehman at this point in the game. Any further suggestions? moreResolved Question: Liberals can you please explain to me how your taxes will not go be raised?

Additionally, it changed the rate of tax on dividend income starting in 2003 to 5% for those in the 0% or 15% brackets, falling to 0% in 2008. It was lowered to 15% for all other brackets. Additionally, EGTRRA increased the per-child tax credit and the amount eligible for credit spent on dependent child care, phased out limits on itemized deductions and personal exemptions for higher income taxpayers, and increased the exemption for the Alternative Minimum Tax, and created a new depreciation deduction for qualified property owners.

Let me show you how fiscal 2008 could have earned all the amount of capital gains going back to 1997 in one year! We have a 15% capital gains and remember 40% of investors have models that would already sell capital in the 1st quarter and buy in the 2nd quarter. this means 40% of sold stock in the 4th quarter of 2008 and 1st quarter in 2009 paid double capital gains. The loss deduction rules only allow about a 5% deduction on capital gains taxes or 10% in certain circumstances and the market dropped from 16,000 to 6,500 over a 18 month period with major fluctuation. This means you could in theory take all the capital gains from 1997 to 2007 in 1 fiscal or $4.7 trillion dollars. This may be Obama's secret weapon because it takes 6 to 8 months for the treasury to get good revenue numbers!
