How do you figure? The poor pay taxes, then get most back. A wealthy person pays on income and gets none back. The poor get their's back, making their percentage zero.
He,s going to tell ya they pay sales tax gas tax and all tose other taxes that the rest of us also pay.
Conviniantly leaving out fed income taxes, rather not talk about that.
The poor pay plenty of taxes. No wealthy person pays the same percentage of taxes as the poor.
None.
As a pretty well-off guy, I'll disagree. On both a percentage and in absolute dollars the poor don't come close to paying what I've paid and pay. Ever.
By the same measure, I'm ok with that. To an extent. It is the unchecked spending that concerns me. Everything they spend today on the nation's credit card is my dollar - not theirs. They don't have it. I do. We are the ones who will have to pay the tab.
The Republicans have made it clear that their number one priority is to deny President Obama a second term. Of course they don't want to see the economy improve, as that would look good for the President. They put party before country and won't even deny doing so.

As a pretty well-off guy I highly doubt you would consent to the proportion of taxes the poor pay on their dollars. I could be wrong. I doubt it.
I see. I have a better idea. Go look at the chart I put up again and pick up an Economics 101 textbook.
Sorry to be rude, but since when is a payroll tax holiday considered "government spending"?? Please explain...
(you can't... and you're going to realize the flaw in your statement if you try to)
++ What a dollar of stimulus puts back into the economy when spent on:
you might want to read my sentences again since you obviously missed something.
i never said that a payroll tax holiday was government spending.
what i said was a payroll tax holiday does not address the problem of government overspending in any way, shape, or form.
