And this is why I don't trust the news media. They show again and again that they either don't understand the Federal tax system (and a lot of other things), or that they're just trying to scare people to advance someone's agenda.
Any tax changes that would have occurred if we'd gone over the fiscal cliff would have only applied to 2013 income. They would have no effect on the income you earned in 2012 or the Federal tax returns you file by April 15, 2013. I was at lunch with some former co-workers from IRS a few weeks ago, and they told me the IRS return processing software for 2012 taxes was tested and ready to go. These are folks still with IRS and they are in a position to know, being mostly IT developers and managers.

I've been hoping that someone involved might show regret or even manage an apology for the terrible things they've said or sentiments they've heralded.
Silly, silly Anthony...

Hello,
You know, I've been hoping that someone involved might show regret or even manage an apology for the terrible things they've said or sentiments they've heralded.
No such luck.

Rap and Six aren't the only folks here who tend to insult outrageously and frequently. If you're looking for folks to show regret or apology, maybe you should expand your list to cover all persuasions.

Please provide examplese of others who have insulted AS OUTRAGEOUSLY as those cited by Anthony. I'd be interested in seeing them. Thank you.

No.
Anyone who follows this forum at all knows who insults folks they disagree with. Some call names, and some do the "Yes, they are poor loonies, aren't they?" act. Shouldn't really be that hard to figure out.

John F. Kennedy
vs
The Federal Reserve
On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.
When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -money - without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America.
"United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury. We compared a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a "United States Note" from the U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and serial number.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation. Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper "currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.
Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes. This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value. Executive Order 11110 should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level (virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and realm value worth something.
Again, according to our own research, just five months after Kennedy was assassinated, no more of the Series 1

Obama's Christmas vacation.
Fly the entire WH to Hawaii.
Fly back to DC, alone, and do nothing but hold a pep rally for the Dems , scold the GOP, and praise the raising of taxes on those who already pay too much.
Fly back to Hawaii, again.
Remotely sign a bill from Hawaii, when you were JUST in DC, hours before. ( That's 9,000 + miles flown, for no damn reason other than to put yourself in the spotlight )
After a day , maybe, fly the entire WH BACK to DC. Along w/ support staff, secret service and a back up plane, which goes with you on each and every leg of the trip.
Well over 18,000 miles flown, and a HUGE carbon footprint, from the guy who is worried about the imaginary issue of 'climate change'.
Hypocrites. Do as they wish, while telling us not to drive our SUVs or set our thermostats up too high.
