Hello! Anyone who wants to pay more taxes, please do so NOW and at will!!!
No one is stopping you!!!!
If you think the idiot government run by idiot politicians is more qualified to control your dough than you are, PLEASE don't waste precious time on CDF that you could be using to write big fat checks!!!!!
How many people have I judged and mocked for their inability to find work? Zero.
Who have I judged and mocked? Point out the posting, and while you are at it, again, how many people have you hired? You must have missed the question on the last posting..
Apparently people live in the projects because they are unwilling to work? All of them? I'd say that qualifies as a "judging and mocking" statement.
I'd say your wrong. They make a choice to live there, (by your own admission), so clearly they choose to live there, rather than get a job. Remember your claim that taking from person A, and giving that money to person B, creates a demand, and thus creates jobs? YOU made this claim, and now by your own admission, there isnt jobs in the area, thus your argument falls flat on its face.

You did ask me to hire "one", I did my part, and here we are with you telling me that you should take money from me, and give it to someone else, which would result in my laying off employees to pay for it.
If you had your wish, they wouldnt have a choice to work for me or not, you want to deny them that option by requiring I get rid of people so you can "take" it.. Thats pathetic. And the fact that you dont think people like to work for me, well thats their choice, until you get your way..
Well I'd hope you're able to hire every single "one" that you dare to lecture for not having a job.
I dont need to hire every single one, remember, according to you, taking from person A, and giving to person B, generates jobs.. We've taken tens of trillions from the private sector, anyday now, those jobs will come..
So what you are advocating is absolutely no taxes right...on anyone for anything...right. I mean you earned it. Forget the fact that we need military, roads etc. etc. What utter BS>
Yes, that is utter BS...your post. I never said NO taxes. I have always said we NEED government.
No I don't want to do that, but if it were proposed, I can't say I would go out of my way to make it my personal mission to defend the wealthy and their wealth.
So then the question is: Why is it so important to some of you? Why do you feel so strongly about other people's unlimited wealth that you make it your own cause?
My cause is not the wealthy. I don't care what other people make.
"We are writing to urge you to put our country ahead of politics. For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens, we ask that you increase taxes on incomes over $1,000,000. We make this request as loyal citizens who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more. Our country faces a choice - we can pay our debts and build for the future, or we can shirk our financial responsibilities and cripple our nation's potential. Our country has been good to us. It provided a foundation through which we could succeed. Now, we want to do our part to keep that foundation strong so that others can succeed as we have. Please do the right thing for our country. Raise our taxes".
Over 100 hundred millionaires have signed a petition to have more money taken out of their taxes, trying to start a movement to get all the rich who are getting tax cuts from Bush's failed economic policies to pay their fair share. Theres only one problem. The Republicans in office absolutely refuse to even entertain the idea. This is madness. Are they so jaded in their love for the rich and all the benefits that go with it that they won't even read the letter?
They can just voluntarily pay more taxes. That is always an option for a tax payer.
For the 100th time (given that Obama's 2012 campaign will be about class warfare, given his economic failures), if we taxed "the rich" at a 100% tax rate (slavery), we would only generate an additional $900 billion in revenue. This would leave an annual deficit (under Obama) of $700 billion.
Given that slavery is currently illegal in America, perhaps liberals should look to other "solutions". Of course they will not, as they really do not care about the economy or the debt, they are all about class warfare and getting Obama re-elected in order to subject the nation to four more years of misery.
Possible real solutions-
1. VAT tax- 15% would generate $1.3 billion- far more than enslaving "the rich".
2. Increase medicare/social security eligibility to age 72
3. Increase medicaid co-pays to $20
4. Cut the military by 25% through closure of foriegn bases
5. repeal Obamacare
6. flat tax 25% with no deductions
7. Stimulate the economy, thus increasing revenues through-
a. open up US domestic drilling, coal, and natural gas
b. change US corporate tax structure to a "consumption tax" making the US much more desirebale for buisness
c. ban the EPA
d. eliminate class action law suits
