Because conservatives don't think that things need to come from the gubbermint.
Not true. Conservatives simply disagree about needing the Government to redistribute our wealth. They disagree with costly social programs that don't deliver what they are supposed to. The ACA for example.

I got to chime in on this simple point. Most of us has been working since age 11 or 12. We earned our way. I saved for my first car(
(1200.00) flipping burgers for 2.75 /hour. My dad cosigned, but It was responsible for everything.
Snow Flakes want now without a clue on how to pay for it.

Let's figure this out then....
At a 52K gross a single person pays 25% tax. 13K
Married would be at a 15% rate. 7800.00
So... looks to me like you took your fair share of exemptions, deductions, and credits which lowered your effective rate if you're single, thus reducing your fair share. If married then you paid exactly what you should have.
Come talk to us again when you're shelling out 28 to 33%..........

There is a good feeling for hard work!
If your dad co-signed, he was the one ultimately responsible.
Did it include all the deductions that were allowed? Did it list the adjusted for inflation income tax bracket levels?
Yes it did. The effective tax rates on the rich were much higher in the past. You were given the link from the CBO and now pretend you dont know nothing about it, just like when you argued that Swedes earning $300 000 pay less taxes than Americans earning $300 000, which blew up in your face.
no-one is saying no minimum wage...what is being said is one size does not fit all...there should NOT be a FEDERAL min wage...min wage should be set at the state or local areas
Plenty of people say no minimum wage, and then we have people like you who say no federal minimum wage which means lots of states will have no minimum wage (GOP governors generally deny local areas to set their own minimum wage). The reality though is that you guys are screaming for a massive increase in third world immigration as employers will push heavily for more third world immigration to fill the $1 jobs you guys want to see flourish in America.
