get out of here with that nonsense. it should not even be a debate on the correct action.

I sound mean because I just dont support the notion of free handout living for anyone regardless of their status. work or starve. contribute or starve.
I supposed the liberals would say if abortion were more common, the cripples would never be allowed to be born.

It is. Im sorry but most people that have alot of wealth in this country DO NOT DESERVE it because generally it was attained through the following means:

1. Rich Daddy/Mommy inheritance=You didn't EARN IT. You were handed it
2. Overpaid athletes/celebrities or otherwise worthless overpaid people of those genres
3. Crooked corporate management playing games with people's lives & laying off thousands of workers only to give themselves inflated stock options and bonuses despite running the companies into the ground

Hell if I care these idiots get taxed up the wazoo.. Theres only so many yachts, homes, Ferraris etc. a human needs anyways. If you can't live the rest of your life with millions of dollars, you dont deserve money, you deserve lifelong inpatient counseling and drugs for your brain because you have a DAMN PROBLEM

The richest people pay a lower rate then everyone else, while getting the most benefits. Its absurd to make them sound like victims.



So why do you get pissed off about how little they pay vs how MUCH you pay?


Tell me, why should any American pay a higher or lower percentage of their income in taxes than any other American?

I did find that amusing. When he learned how much taxes he was going to pay, it got his attention. But, the plus side is that helps get the information out there! A vote for Trump is a vote for Trump!



Yes, they have the mistaken notion that the rich will pay all the taxes for all the goodies that they want. Obviously, for being so "educated", math is not what they are "educated" in. Selfishness is expecting other to give one a guaranteed monthly income, pay off one's student debt (legal debt the student took on without duress), paying one's medical, paying one's child care bills, and the list is endless. Maybe they want those things, they take the risk and they put in the hours............... And, making illegal aliens legal so they qualify for the full array of public assistance goodies, plus I guess they would get that guaranteed monthly income. Yep, I am just sure "math" is not their thing. Also, we would need to find a way to keep the rich here when they are told their taxes will go up to support the goodie list. We are far, far away from being "rich", but I am also sick and tired of the lazy whiners!

you have great ideas. share them with your elected officials.

uhm if I was rich, and I want my child to have it, they deserve it for being my child.
nuff said.

you dont think they deserve it? get over yourself. just because you aren't their child doesn't mean they dont 110% deserve it. its called BIRTH RIGHT

You aren't entitled to ANY of my money because I am at a certain peak of wealth, or you think its unfair. contrary to your belief. the like 1% support 95% of Americans, that ISNT fair. I would rather have 50 yachts than give my money to non paying individuals.

if you had it your way, you'd take all my money so I cant even have a roof over my head to pay those who dont deserve, ie. not paying tax individuals.

It's funny because most of the bitching about rich people not paying taxes is done by those 50% that don't pay or pay about 3%. I bet they wouldn't like a "fair" tax code.

Everyone pays 10%, no deductions, no loop holes nothing. A one sentence tax code. All citizens pay 10% of their income. Done, nice, neat and simple.

if the Left put half the effort into trying to make something for themselves that they do into crying about how unfair life is, we wouldn't be having this discussion.


Some people are born into wealth......

That's life.

Quit bawling about it and go out and create your own wealth.
