Basicazlly what I find disturbing is that so many pay no income tax to support their governamnt. maybe if they did then they would worry more about raising taxes. People need skin in the game as its easy to spend others money. Want to change heathcare the you shpould be willing to pay a sahre of the government cost by higher taxes.
How much a year do you think those people are making? And how many self-employed people do you think lie there asses off on their taxes so that they don't show enough income to pay taxes? You pay that tradesman cash to do your work? Chance are he doesn't pay taxes on it.
then i am a fool. at least in your eyes. i not only dont want to pay i want to be on the racieving end after 45 years of paying. if you cant beat em join em never rang so true.happy days for me ahead.
Read the article. You are on the receiving end and you have been your whole life. You aren't going to stop working, you're going to retire and collect your socialistic Social Security. If you live a reasonable number of years, you will probably collect more from the combination of Social Security and Medicare than you put in. You put very little in during your early years because the wages were so much lower. Now you are going to collect based on today's cost of living. Yes, if you have a long retirement, you'll get more than you paid.
Music to the ears of the left! Yaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! NOT!
Are the days of a decent day's pay for a decent day's work soon to be but a pipedream? At the moving rate of the left, and obama in particular, I'm leaning that way. And hey, I don't make the requisite $109K+, far from it.
CNSNews.com - Obama's Policies Would Redistribute Nearly $1 Trillion in Wealth Every Year (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/54468 - broken link)
Find a legitimate source.
But even if it were true, that would just be re-redistributing, wouldn't it? I mean, since the money has progressively been stolen from the American people over the past 30 years?
Absolute folly. Pure, unadulterated folly. Proof perhaps that the only thing more dangerous than a little learning is none at all. Higher taxes result in higher government revenues. The secondary national income effect on jobs will depend on what is done with those higher collected revenues.
And just by the way, rich people do not create jobs. Demand creates jobs.
Also by the way, there is NO level of taxation -- either existing or proposed -- at which one would not financially benefit from earning more money.
And lastly by the way, the Tax Foundation's report reprised in the OP contains nothing more than this: The structure of the federal income tax is and will continue to be progressive. That is, it will continue to emphasize an equalization of tax burden, not of tax payments.
Well here we have it, saganista, with her government job, trying to tell business owners and investors about how they dont make business decisions based upon taxes. ohh you never cease to put a laugh on my face with your ignorance of how real life is.
There isnt ONE business class or investor who wont discuss the tax ramifications on how to invest and when/how to withdraw money from their businesses. Even Warren Buffet, you know, the almighty Obama supporter will tell you in ever single one of his books, will discuss the tax ramifications on how he buys/sells companies and stock positions. Sorry, but I'll listen to a billionaire anyday over someone with a government job discuss tax ramifications.

Funny that something thinks that demand creates jobs.
As a woman who owned a business with 27 employees at one time, I needed money to grow my business and pay these employees.
It takes money to make money period, no poor lazy ass is going to give you a job.
Only the left wing welfare types will rise under the ObamAcorn plan.
yea, lets reward losers and screw over smart hard working people who create 85% of all jobs in America.
Welfare food must be great since Obama will spend more on welfare losers in 2010 then the entire Iraq War cost us.
How much did Bush redistribute to defense contractors? How much is now being redistributed to shareholders in health insurance companies?
defense contractors exchanged a service in exchange for payment. Thats not redistribution. I think someone should take up some basic business classes in school..
Ahh, now we know why you support Obama as much as you do. You're looking forward to an early retirement...
I support Obama?!! That is news to me and all who know me.
