The dems have so destroyed the term "racist" that disagreeing with someone's political opinions, if they are of a different color, is racist, and Boehner disagrees with Obama, so he must be a racist.

I Honestly do not understand the point of posting videos like this, because you know full well that videos exist of rightwingers doing the exact same thing. I am also sure you are smart enough to know that they edited out the people who would have answered as you saw fit.
People like you stir the pot, post videos like this and then blame others for the division in our nation.
Why should any American pay a higher percentage than any other American? A flat tax would yield the Democrats' wished-for higher tax bill for some than for others.
10% of $1,000,000 is $100,000.
10% of $30,000 is $3,000.
Both income earners pay the same tax rate, but the former is still paying $97,000 more than the latter.

But the worker bees who make the honey offer it up to the 1% with the false implication that some of their own honey will drip down to them.
Simple solution: STOP BUYING products from the top 1%. Don't buy iPhones, iPads, etc.
I think we should, like the great MLK stated, judge him on the content of his mind, not the color of his skin, and you know what, Boehner fails there as well, so get rid of him. Anyone who would keep Steel hanging around as chief of staff after nearly ruining the GOP financially, is either too stupid or in on it, ether way he is out.
In other words, you don't live in his district, you know the one that elected him, but YOU think he should be gotten rid of and the hell with the people that DID elect him.
I have an idea. Why not let ALL republicans vote on ALL the "stupid" dems we have. We can start with Reid and Pelosi and work our way down through Sheila Jackson. Fair is fair!

"Of course" because at present, we do not have a flat tax system. Why even bring that up? The 1% do not want a flat tax; they would then actually have to pay their share. They want all their deductions so they end up paying a lower percentage on their income than the majority of the middle class.
LOL, I don't have an iphone or ipad. But they are made by Chinese labor who are paid pennies on the dollar; hardly part of the 1%!

Because it shows that higher income earners still pay a disproportionately high percentage of the tax revenue even under a flat tax system. Person A paying $100,000 in federal income tax isn't receiving $100,000 in government services and benefits, while person B paying only $3,000 is receiving MORE than that in government services and benefits. Person A is overpaying. Person B isn't even pulling their own weight.
Look at the per capita cost of the federal government. It's about $20,000 per year per person:
Person A is overpaying by $80,000. Person B is underpaying by $17,000.
We can also examine it by a benefits and services received per dollar of local, state, and federal taxes paid analysis.
The bottom 20% receives $5.28 in local, state, and federal government benefits and services per each $1 of local, state, and federal taxes paid. The top 1% receives only $0.06 in local, state, and federal government benefits and services per each $1 of local, state, and federal taxes paid.
The bottom 20% is getting an 88 times higher return on the taxes they pay than does the top 1%.
The bottom 60% TAKE more than they contribute in taxes.

Post the facts on the average effective federal income tax rate paid by each income group. You'll be quite surprised to find that the facts don't match the deceitful propaganda the left has spoon-fed you to believe.
Every time I see a post like this I cringe, because I know another gullible person has been duped by the left.
