What a load of bull hockey.

All they have to do is stop with their endless deductions and credits.

I don't know who they're trying to kid, but it isn't going to work on those with IQs over 50.

Sure, they got their wealth so now it is time to keep others down. How about we put a wealth tax on these guys ..say 5 percent a year...to start...and see their reaction?

Tell them all to fill out the short form and only take the std deduction.
That will increase their taxes without having to wait for Congress to pass a bill saying they need to pay more.

Taxation only works if everyone is forced to pay.

Calls for people to "give more if they want" are idiotic, since that would solve nothing.


Conservatives would pay ZERO tax if they could, and then wonder why the roads crumble and they can't find any educated people to fill their jobs.

This is what I have been saying all along.
However doing it that way wont get them media attention or score points with the politicians for future rewards.

Lol roads are not a government creation nor would they disappear if we didn't pay guys with orange vests leaning on shovels to guard them. Now thats idiotic.

Really Frank? YOU built that (them)? And they're maintenance-free, to boot?

You're correct, "LOL"

Well surprise surprise -- millionaires who already have their millions want to close the door behind them and make it harder for others to achieve what they've achieved. And of course the Democrats are thoroughly eager to do their bidding -- you know, in the name of "fairness." Talk about getting played.

..... I am at a loss for words.


Interstate Highway System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



And you know what, you're right. "Roads" wouldn't "disappear".... but they would more likely resemble THIS:



Than THIS:




Good luck to all long haul truckers out there.
