The right wants to raise taxes on the poor and middle class.

The left wants to raise taxes on the rich.

How can you be so uninformed? You got the internets right at your fingertips.

All those people should pony up right?

You mean the 50% who pay NO taxes, the ones who are demanding the "rich" pay more?

Yes.

I'm not the lucky one! In reality, I oppose raising ANYONE'S taxes in this economy. How about cutting spending, reforming wellfare, securing our borders, sending our troops home, and eliminating federal government waste for a start?

Here is a public service announcement for those who hate government handouts.

Take all the handouts you get from the government and toss them in here.



If you hate them so much, just stop taking them.

We don't take them. That's the point genius. We believe in this idiotic thing called personal responsibility.

When you have 1% of the population paying 40% of the freight, and 50% of the population paying 0% of the weight...

Then yes, I believe in lowering the tax on the rich, and raising the tax on the poor. Start w/ Cain's 9-9-9 rule where everyone would pay 9%. No tricks, no loopholes, no huge IRS staff to pay for - just 9%.

No one in their right mind would run a business this way - receiving money from half of its customers. I don't understand why people think this is OK for government?
