"The last date on your graph is 2008. Obama became president in 2009."

Did you not notice the uptick in the graph following 2008, returning income taxes to the pre-Bush level?

Once again you have paraded your lack of comprehension for everyone to see.

"Obama has been in office less than 60 days. He hasn't had time to implement large, sweeping tax increases on the "rich". Therefore, Robrob and his bogus sources are once again relegated to liar status."

"Since Obama has been president for roughly 50 days, we don't yet know the full magnitude of the tax increases he will be able to implement during his first year in office. Therefore, you and your source are liars."

You continue to blame Obama today for things you imagine he might do in the future.

"The last date on your graph is 2008. Obama became president in 2009."

One might have assumed someone as financially savvy as you claim to be would know CY 2008 federal income taxes are not due until April 15, 2009.

Because you're obsessed with me?

"Obama has announced that he will allow the Bush tax cuts to expire."

Wow, devastating comeback. That would of course be the reason for the future "uptick".

Feel free to explain what factual errors you found in the graph? You complain it ends at 2008 yet the "uptick" clearly extends beyond that date. Regardless, at that time the levels of taxation will still be well below the rates under Reagan or Nixon.

Are you intentionally this dense? (none / 0)
The graph shows a projected return to pre-Bush tax levels following the expiration of the tax cuts in 2010.

Still much lower than under Reagan or Nixon.

Strange you don't address that.

he is not being intentional.

You asked a lot from Kenny and he don't read so good.

If you look closely at that graph the X axis is done in 4 year intervals. Why they didn't bring it up to 2012 I have no idea but if you look closely the up tick doesn't happen until slightly after 2008.

The thing that should have tipped Kenny off is the giant blue box that says "OBAMA  PROPOSES ROLLING BACK BUSH TAX CUTS IN 2011".

However, that would reqire Kenny to read someting and well you know the rest.

How deep do you want to dig this hole? (none / 0)
You are flailing around so much it's becoming hard to follow you. For the record, please state what it is exactly you are trying to say about the chart?

Then feel free to explain how anything you said contradicts the fact when Obama lets Bush's temporary tax cuts expire the top tax rate will rise to 39.6% which is well below the 50% suffered under Reagan and the 70% under Nixon.

Does Texas not have a math requirement? (none / 0)
Sorry you have such trouble understanding graphs. Where I come from they usually cover this sort of thing in grade school.

The X axis is measured in increments of 4. The last multiple of 4 was 2008. The next multiple of 4 will be 2012. The uptick takes place somewhere between 2010 and 2011. That would be BEFORE 2012, right?

Of course none of this has to do with the fact that at 39.6%, the new rate will still be much lower than under Reagan (50%) or Nixon (70%).

Kenny, but the problem continues to be that giant blue box with the arrow clearly marking that specific point on the line.

You know, the one that says "OBAMA  PROPOSES ROLLING BACK BUSH TAX CUTS IN 2011".

God you look like such a fool right now and I feel so bad for you.

Wow (none / 0)

It does?

With the resolution setting on my screen, every 4 year increment is about .25 inches away from one another. The last uptick on my screen starts about .125 inches away from the 2008 mark, give or take a .0625. That is why they put the blue box with the fancy words and the arrow there to mark the point.

Are you going to continue to let us goof on you like this?

"OBAMA  PROPOSES ROLLING BACK BUSH TAX CUTS IN 2011".

What part of that confuses you?

Is there a 2010 or 2011 on the graph?

Most people who have actually graduated from High School, much less college, know sequential points on a graph are linked by a direct line. Please tell me you already knew that?

Umm (none / 0)

Kenny

Don't need one. The X axis is clearly marked in 4 year increments starting at 1920.

"Is there a 2010 or 2011 on the graph?"

If you graduated high school, you would know that 10 and 11 are not evenly divisible by 4. That is why you will never see them on said graph.

However, all relevant points on the graph are clearly marked and any accountant, CEO, politician or high school grad can figure out what it means. The only one having trouble here is you. Bobo and TWBA will not even touch this one with a 10' pole.

Kenny, you have 3 choices.

  1.  Walk away from this one like you always do.
  2. Actually be a man and admit that you are wrong.
  3. Continue to be the TYT forum's comedy relief.

 Which one is it going to be buddy?

Please, please, please Kenny, don't walk away. This is going to be the  new official Ken is a moron bookmark.

OMG Ken's right (none / 0)

I just realized it.  There is no 2001, 2002, or 2003 on the chart either!!!!!!!11!

That means we don't know when the alleged "Bush" tax cuts actually occurred I suggest they actually happend and 99 and Clinton did them, since the chart doesnt have them directly above a year marker that was during the Bush term.

No I didn't. I'm waiting for your reply and a year and a half and one national election later, I'm still waiting for you to explain to me how the Dem's didn't make the right political play there.

Oops! (none / 0)
"Americans who identify themselves as Democrats are mostly responsible for the improved ratings of Congress measured in the March 5-8 Gallup Poll. After showing a 25-point increase in their approval of Congress from January to February and a further 14-point increase in March, a majority of Democrats (57%) now approve of the job the Democratically-controlled Congress is doing. Independents also show improved ratings of Congress, but not nearly to the extent that Democrats do. Republicans' evaluations of Congress have changed very little this year."

Thanks for the link. You are always your own worst enemy.

I was hoping you would be dumb enough to say something like that so let's look at the other graphs.

 Here is overall.

 

 Here is what those all important Independents think.

 

 Independent approval has doubled in 3 short months.

Thank's for the bitch slapping Kenny but America despises Republicans now. Just like I told you would happen.

I got me a big one
