Of course you do.as to the rest of your post, i fully reject the concept of using some measure of intelligence as a requirement of voting ...
Bring him on dude.92 will be on here in a moment telling you that Obama is coming for your guns.
You are freaking DEAD WRONG. Of course you have to have a job to notice it. Everyone who has a job had their taxes go up 2%. The "Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011" was not extended. I believe that this is part of the federal taxes but just shown in a different box on the "W-2.I believe he is talking about Alabama tax since federal income tax only increased for upper incomes and I dont think teachers would be effected.
Our paychecks have been deducted by 4% over the past few years. Cost of living has gone up. They are now trying to pass legislation that would tweak our sick days and make a sick bank illegal. The few "perks" a teacher did have are disappearing right in front of our eyes as I type this..Rasputin, you are part of the government you rail against. True that you haven't gotten a cost of living raise in 4 years and your health insurance contribution has gone up. But you pay, what, $150 a month for a cadillac family health insurance plan that would cost me $1600 a month. You have an extremely generous retirement that you can get after 25 years of service. Not to mention holidays and summers off. Are you tenured?
You are like the federal civil service worker ranting against government spending as he takes his paycheck to the bank. No sympathy for you from me. Sorry.
No. It doesn't offend me.
touche; but i'm guessing from your posts you haven't met many georgia republicans fwiw, i live in a congressional district that hasn't had a republican run since i've been here (or at least that i've heard of, i did cast a vote against john lewis last time, but honestly i didn't even look at the name and affiliation, it was a choice other than lewis), the same for my city (East Point). at the state level, i get the choice to vote for dumb or dumber, or some dude with too much time on his hands looking for a bit of attention and running on the libertarian ticket (for which i've voted for state level offices in the last two state elections). i have cast many votes for myself, my daughter, my dog, mickey mouse, etc over the past 12 years, but i have cast a ballot in every election since i turned 18.Of course you do.
You're a Democrat.
Until we do something radical to stop it, something radical is not going to happen...which is why I'm stockpiling tuna, pork and beans, and .22 longs
Fixed.
No, I specifically said 'income tax' to differentiate from 'payroll tax' to avoid this kind of statement where we argue over semantics if an expiring temporary cut is an increase or not.You are freaking DEAD WRONG.

Let's face it if it decreases my pay it is an increase in my expense, any excuses are semantics. Now did I think it was smart to lower the contribution to Social Security while it is headed to insolvency? No. But if you want the credit for a cut you must be willing to take the hit if you raise it back, it's called manning up.No, I specifically said 'income tax' to differentiate from 'payroll tax' to avoid this kind of statement where we argue over semantics if an expiring temporary cut is an increase or not.
When a government can give themselves raises and pass legislation that doesn't apply to them or their families. What else needs to happen before citizens realize they are being had?What I am complaining about is a corrupt government who continues to pad its pockets at the expense of everyone else. And I'm sorry if that offends you but I will call it like I see it, even if it isn't what some of you want to hear!
interesting.......Sometimes I think we as a society have become over civilized.
I's just speakin' the troof. The government does what it wants because they have no fear of retaliation. Instilling fear in someone isn't always a bad thing. LOL!interesting.......
