I'm one of the 50% of the nation who pays no federal income taxes at all.

I not only havent paid a dime in over a decade, but I also receive rebates from the government for various credits, so you pay me, to not pay taxes..

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?

So apparently, you are in a low income bracket. In that cases, we don't have any problem helping you out.

And yes, you're welcome.

But I keep my income low in order to avoid taxes. All of my income goes towards building of wealth...

I have to follow the tax code. righties I know believe the code is wrong and needs fixed so people like myself will contribute. We believe in expanding the tax base, not increasing the rates.

Its not my fault the code is what it is.

You're taking advantage of the tax system to hide your income. Compared to those who don't make much income. Huge difference.

no difference at all because I believe EVERYONE should contribute, regardless of how much they bring in..

I will eventually contribute down the road, as I have to convert the wealth into income in order to spend it..

Others wont EVER pay "their fair share"..

Actually he is only doing what the government wants and it isn't illegal. Obama raised taxes on income not wealth but since the left does not understand the tax code they voted to put a cap on their own financial success.

Why do liberals want to forcibly confiscate income and wealth from those who have more? Are they not concerned that they might end up as one of those who have more?

I've always suspected that rightwing posters in this forum were hypocrites, so I'll take your future posts with a grain of salt.
its not hypocritical to follow the law, even if you object to it..

Why isn't it obvious that when those who have the talent to produce are punished and their wealth is confiscated, they will eventually go on strike and will either leave the U.S. or will simply quit working.

Why isn't it abundantly obvious to them that when people are given enough to survive without working, a lot fewer people will choose to work, which will reduce the standard of living for all?
