Lefties, when will you insist I pay my "fair share"? (wage, salary)

Just wondering if you think someone driving under the speed limit is also using a loophole to avoid getting a ticket?

Now it looks like I'm going to collect Medicaid due to ACA expansion.

I dont think its right, but you stand here day after day after day and proclaim not only that its acceptable, but that you need to continue to hand me more free ****..

So the question to you left wing kooks who defend this, why is it ok that I sit here and collect from the federal government while you whine that others who do pay the lion share of the tax revenues, dont pay enough?

Another question is... why are you quickly to label others as government-dependent moochers, etc., given what you've just told us about yourself? No one is forcing you to take that government money if you think it's wrong. You can give it all away or write a big check back to the government. They'll take it.

I'm following the tax code and will continue to do so. I dont think I've ever used terms like moochers, I attack those who enable the code to be what it is...

And yes, you're welcome.

Don't bet on that.

I know people that are well off the got Medicaid.

Folks should just say that they have low paying jobs and leave it at that.

This is were many do not understand our system.

He said his INCOME is low.

Huge amounts of money can be made as long as at the end on the year you reduce your INCOME.....not your bankbook.

I do not KEEP my income low.

A lot of money goes though our books.....I keep my taxable income down to "O".

The funny part is, I'm standing here telling them that I dont pay federal income taxes, and havent for a decade, and they respond in complete denial.

I dont how they can state thats impossible considering 1/2 the nation doesnt pay.. Its not like I'm any different then the rest..

That was pretty much my point of the thread.

how so many can live in society and not understand our tax code, is a complete mystery..

IMO....you and I are different.

We do not pay but, we help keep the money moving......that is how our system works.
