Another loony bill proposed by a few congressmen... however unlikely it is it will go anywhere, it shows the dangerous thinking going on at upper levels.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:h2411:

HR 2411 states that every worker in America should be able to voluntarily have a portion of his/her wages automatically withheld and sent directly to the Treasury Department for the purposes of paying down the federal debt.

Quote:

“Every employer making payment of wages shall deduct and withhold upon such wages any amounts so elected, and shall pay such amounts over to the Secretary of the Treasury…”

HR 2411 stipulates that any contribution made to the Treasury in order to pay down the federal debt IS NOT TAX DEDUCTIBLE.

Imagine this scenario: You make $100,000/year. In a fit of complete insanity, you decide that you want to withhold your entire annual salary to pay down the debt. Hey, you can always move in with mom for the next year, right?

Well guess what– Uncle Sam will gladly take your money… and then STILL expect you to pay taxes on the $100,000 that you earned, so you’d have to come out of pocket with an additional $40,000 or so.

Wow, that lawsuit is pretty infamous. The legal firm running the operation is doing it purely for profit, as opposed to the misguided **AA suits. Their cases keep getting thrown out of court, though, so you might be safe merely ignoring it.

Quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) –– With bipartisan debt-limit talks deadlocked, House Republicans and Senate Democrats readied rival emergency fallback plans Sunday in hopes of reassuring world financial markets the U.S. government will avoid an unprecedented default.

In a conference call, Speaker John Boehner summoned his conservative rank and file to swing behind a "new measure" that could clear both houses of Congress.

"It won't be `Cut, Cap and Balance' as we passed it," he said, referring to a measure –– killed in the Senate on Friday –– that would have required spending cuts of an estimated $6 trillion as well as congressional approval of a constitutional balanced budget amendment for ratification by the states.

The new approach is "going to require some of you to make some sacrifices," he added, according to a person familiar with his remarks.

It's nice to see Boehner and the Republican party are already capitulating to the Democrats. Apparently, he isn't willing to stand his ground until he gets the Democrats to agree to tax cuts, so he's falling back to the alternative of increasing taxes without cutting spending.

Enjoy your paychecks while they last.
