There's no reason to getting so hung over on percentages, especially if you don't know what it means. I don't know if you supported Sanders but if you do...Bernie Sanders doesn't know anything about businesses. He doesn't know what it's like to pay anybody.

But, what about the bottom 90% of tax payers. Bottom 47% pays no income tax. Top 10% pays 70% of it. That means the middle 43% pays 30%. The 10% are carrying us on their back and Bernie wants to break their leg for not going fast enough.
Income Tax is not the only source of revenue for Federal, State or Local Government. There are lot of other taxes like Ad-Valorem Tax, Sales tax which eevrybody generates - Rich or Poor, Employed, unemployed everyone contributes.

Seems like a logical follow from your point. That is why I asked the question. I never said any taxes were theft.

This I can agree with. I have broke mine as a teenager and I am skinny. Of course I have never had it hurt like it has in the last couple years though. I keep thinking it is age related, but could be arthritis.

I am all for universal health care. But you are not making very good arguments. You ARE basically saying here you want someone else to subsidize your lifestyle.

Your statements contradict themselves.

uhm child support is not supposed to be your income... its what the egg donor mother or sperm donor father gives the other to help raise her/his kids

you shouldn't have been 'banking' on child support as an income

Why? Because you eat too much.

And you don't think stealing someone's heard earned money to fund your chosen lifestyle is a punishment?

You think it's fair that greedy rich people pay more. I think lazy losers should take less. I'd call this a wash.....
