It also seems the ones who pay no Federal Income taxes are always the supporters of more govt spending.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me !

You are making the claim that you would be upset if you complained about the amount of spending at the same time that you argued that others should pay some too.

When did I make those claims. Do you have a link to those quotes. I'd like to see it.

Your argument makes NO sense. Yet you just keep repeating it post after post in numerous threads.

At what point are you actually going to address your illogical position that you keep repeating over and over and over?
What argument was that? My only argument was that you cannot be against raising taxes when you want half the the US to pay more taxes. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I never said I was against this idea. I was merely pointing out a contradictatory idea.

false logic

you can be FOR lowering taxes and making them more level/fair...... lowering the overall rate for everyone and REQUIRING those that didnt pay..would actually be LOWERING taxes



again....do YOU think its fair that 50% of the income earners pay 97% of the taxes???? YES or NO

You admit, in order to lower taxes for some, you have to raise it for others. Got it.

Of course it's not fair, luckily it's not true. Another tea party myth. In essence your argument is, lower taxes for the rich, raise it for the poor, yes or not. I answered your question.

More Alinsky false attacks. you guys never give up. you are tenacious that is for sure.

mind numbed freaks willing to lie, tell half truths and take things out of context but you are tenacious.

In almost every case tenaciously fraudulent, but truth has never mattered to Media Matters.

In order for your argument about it being contridicting to make sense, everybody would have to pay the same amount of tax.

That isn't the case, thus there is no contridiction.

Is this the same hannity who was tied in with Lord Stanfords Ponzi Scheme, or the one who is tied in with convicted felons Liddy and North "Helping" the families of disabled vets.
Would you buy a used car from this guy?

How is this spinning everything he says?? He did not say federal income taxes. He said taxes. HE is the one who is spinning. HE is the one who is lying.

Let me get this straight. In this discussion, it's wrong to say these people pay no taxes because they pay taxes other than income tax. However, in a discussion about taxes being raised, taxes outside of income tax don't count?
