How do you get the rich to pay more in tax? Change the tax code

Isn't it amazing that those who live off of tax revenues but don't generate much in tax revenues themselves always forget the spending side of the coin? Hmm.

 

There are makers and takers ...

 

It is also interesting to note that me if the left wing groups that were targeted because the algorhythm used to catch right wing groups used certain names and phrases that were also used by some left wing groups as well. The real clue us that the left wing groups found it far easier to gain redress

 

Bingo, and where does 60% of our federal spending go to? Not to infrastructure, not to higher education, not to research, not to national security, not to medical advancements, not to job creativity. It goes to social services. Over $2.2 trillion every year goes to mostly democratic embodied services so that illegal immigrants can have free healthcare, so that heroin addicts can have clean needles as they urinate and defecate on our city streets, so that welfare recipients can have 10 children and pass the generational torch of govt aid to each and everyone of their offspring, so that obese lazy citizens can stay on food stamps for a lifetime and finally so democratically elected officials can spend hundreds of millions of dollars on phony witch hunts and impeachment’s.

 

So what is a "fair share" for rich people to pay? Shouldnt everyone have to pay in at least some tax???

 

Democrat votes don't come cheap!

 

Everyone should pay 10%. No deductions. If that’s not enough to run the government, cut every department until the budget is balanced.

 

That would be far less then I paid while working, so I'd be down with it!

 

Get rid of a few of them entirely.

 

No takers.
You "owe" them

 

..You dragged that lil back an forth all that way just to tell the forum that?...Hmm, ok.

 

...Im gravy.
Thanx to Obama fixing the economy, and being given the opportunity to gain an indemand skill thanks to unions and the left, I never have to worry about money again..Im what one may call, an everyday millionaire pretty much.
The only concern now is our nations healthcare system..Its deeply flawed.

 

Oh how I love the internet, millionaires, I cant even count how many of them I have met over the years! The only thing that I cant figure is why they all live with their moms or in mobile home? I guess that's what it takes nowadays to be a millionaire ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯

 

So you’re saying that I could have stayed at home instead? Dammit, and I just had to leave home at 18 work and save every day of my life and start a retirement plan. I want a do over.

 

You’re in the mob? I thought the FBI rid you people back in the ‘80s.

 

You too can be a internet millionaire, all you have to do is click your heels together three times and say I wanna be a millionaire and then on the last rotation switch to I am a millionaire and then head for the keyboard

 

Stop whining about your tax rate.
You pay a much smaller rate than any "rich" man

 

Yeah, and a few posts ago you were claiming that you had to pick between paying your taxes and paying bills.

 

Its a saying....I'm not a millionaire literally. I should have typed "I feel like" an everyday millionaire.

I actually heard it on my daily commute from this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Ramsey
Never done any research on him though but what ever...Its about living life debt free.

 

Really..which one of my posts lead you to believe that? I learned from my mistakes of living on losses...basically in debt.

 

Do your own research on Local 26 and if it has mob ties.

Zero Tuition, Zero college debt. And 100% GI bill approved.

 

People need medical help to stay alive.

 

People need a defended country to stay alive.

What's your point?

 

Or did you suddenly decide you can pay your payroll deductions and your bills now?

 

No one is really threatening USA. A defense budget of $150 Billion per year would be enough.
