An Inconvenient Truth About The Bush Tax Cuts

Quote from Optional:

How many of you retards here who rail that the 1% are getting screwed are even IN that 1%?
I'm gonna wager its 1%

Lucrum was right - what is "Optional" about you? Logic? Intelligence?

We don't have to be in the top 1% to know a slippery slope when we see one. After the government and all you moonbats have milked the 1%, what's the next group? The 5%? 10%? Lots of us are in that, I'm sure.

The 1% won't solve the problems, dude. So that's just the starting point. Not to mention the whole "going against what the country was founded on" philosophy that many of us try to withhold.
 
Quote from Scataphagos:

The only FAIR tax is a flat tax.

To accommodate low wage earners, "everybody gets $30,000 exclusion from income tax".

Above $30,000, there is a flat tax for everybody. No deductions.

Also fair is a "consumption tax". Certain items can be exempted... like non-prepared food items. Clothing too. Set a "non-tax" limit for essentials. For example... $3 exclusion for underware. If you purchase Fruit of the Loom at Target, no tax. If you buy Hugo Boss at Macy's, you pay the tax on the cost above $3.

Then, everybody would pay his "fair share". (Progressive income tax rates are immoral... likely unconstitutional as well.... not that it matters any more.)

All of this easy to implement with computers nowdays.

I think everybody should have a stake in paying for our country. If you have any income, you should pay some taxes even if it is a token amount. The liberal talk of 'pay their fair share' is misleading and designed as a class warfare comment. It inspires one class to resent another.

Also, the 1% have the means to move to other places and take their money out of the country. Raising their taxes doesn't necessarily mean more revenue. I means they will find other places to put their money resulting in a slower economy and lost revenue.

That's too simple, and a simple solution doesn't work with our congress. Fair to the leftist is you pay for everything, I pay for nothing. Fair to the leftist is my great, great, great, great, great granddaddy got hosed and I'm here to collect. Fair to the leftist in my ancestors got pushed out and I'm here to move in, at your expense.
 
Quote from Mercor:

The eternal question that no Liberals will ever give a straight answer.
To make sure all pay their fair share......
What percent of all taxes should the top 1% pay?
What percent of all taxes should the bottom 50% pay?

I have never got an answer from any democrat
More...

There is no answer because this varies from zip code to zip code.

That is why a flat tax is the only answer. Close every loophole, and then a flat tax.

For all you bible thumpers out there, how does 10% sound?

Hyperbole.

Are you upset about something?

So are you a believer in trickle down?

Why does the Bible have to come into it? I don't know if 10% is right, but a flat tax is the only answer. I agree.
 
Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Brilliant. Too bad the republicans never asked this question in the election.

For Obama , the answer would be his supporters pay nothing and republicans pay it all, which is pretty much what happens now anyway.

A great many low information republican voters live in the rural areas, which are beset with poverty.

Now, if you take this number in the absolute, it is a safe bet that more republicans get welfare than democrats.
