Maybe if you read this article you will understand why those that are being asked to pay MORE are appalled. It's hard to want to pay more when you see this kind of waste and corruption!

Oh get real! You'd gladly pay more instead of one word of demanding our govt. stop spending money like some religious nut that is convinced he'll be raptured tomorrow!

What you did not say here, said it all.

You go right ahead and pay more so I can pay even less.
So it shall be~

I pay $10 k in property taxes, and I'm poor.. Do you have a point? Have you ever had a point?

Are you sure you've got a $100 to waste?

Just mail a check of $100 to donate to the IRS or donate your money directly to Bank of America (why use the IRS as a middleman).

One thing that is amazing is that you think $100 amounts to anything at all.

Did you know that since Obama took office, your share of the national debt INCREASED almost $50,000. That is 50 thousand dollars. Your C-Note is chump change.

Poor people pay virtually nothing in taxes, either in absolute or relative terms. They are freeloading.

how about LOWER everyones taxes and get rid of some of the tax 'breaks'

if EVERONE paid 10-15% with limited deductions( like family size) we would collect a heck of a lot more in revenue

but liberals cant get past their boogyman of tax the rich...which by the way is totally against the liberals thing ...since it is completely DISCRIMINATORY

The only problem that I would have with paying out the $100.00 is that it wouldnt help the country because the politicians would have no incentive to cut spending and cut waste. before we can help the country we need to learn to live within our means. In other words stop printing money that we dont have the gold to back. Stop borrowing money from china.
