Entitlement mentality...

[progressive hunter]

Me and millions just like me don’t want anything to do with socialist anything. With Socialized healthcare comes a price far too large to justify it.
- Tons of paid time off for everything from vacation time to holidays to maternity leave to sick pay to whatever... no thanks. Too expensive for everybody to justify.
- Individual personal decisions determined by the collective... no thanks. Big brother has no credibility.
- political correctness to replace freedom of speech... no thanks. I like to think for myself.

How do you feel about socialism for rich Americans?

"2. Direct federal subsidies to corporations: The Cato Institute estimates that federal subsidies to corporations cost taxpayers almost $100 billion every year.

"3.

Income taxes would seem to imply a level of redistribution, no?

Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

"The Sixteenth Amendment (Amendment XVI) to the United States Constitution allows Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states on the basis of population.

"It was passed by Congress in 1909 in response to the 1895 Supreme Court case of Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co.

"The Sixteenth Amendment was ratified by the requisite number of states on February 3, 1913, and effectively overruled the Supreme Court's ruling in Pollock."

so whats the constitution say???

 

[cutter]

So you're saying that poor folks aren't entitled to healthcare? Aren't entitled to LIVE?

You think free health care should include abortion so people can live? Tell that to the late term aborted baby that felt the pain of having those scissors shoved into their brain.
Free health care including sex changes at taxpayer expense? I don’t think so. If you want it pay for it yourself.
Free healthcare should be limited to what is necessary prevent pain and extend life, the rest is up to you.

"During the late nineteenth century, various groups, including the Populist Party, favored the establishment of a progressive income tax at the federal level.

"These groups believed that tariffs unfairly taxed the poor, and they favored using the income tax to shift the tax burden onto wealthier individuals."

Can you find any Constitutional authority for crony-capitalism?

Me and millions just like me don’t want anything to do with socialist anything.

Horseshit. Do you approve of being given tax deductions, credits, and exemptions which are paid for by higher tax rates on all taxpayers and borrowing from China?

If so, then you are a bigger welfare leech than anyone on food stamps.

No vacations, even though most workers don't enjoy more Thant two weeks vacation. No sick leave, so when one gets sick or hurt, they have to do without. If "big brother" has no credibility, would you .inculcate that same cynicism to young men and women enlisting in the armed forces? Political correctness is not law, it's manners. You may be offended by it because you think it limits your rights. You may be right. It does limit your right to be an asshole and insult others for your personal shortcomings as a bigot.

At the very least, taxation is one form of income and wealth redistribution:

Redistribution of income and wealth - Wikipedia

"Redistribution of income and redistribution of wealth are respectively the transfer of income and of wealth (including physical property) from some individuals to others by means of a social mechanism such as taxation, charity, welfare, public services, land reform, monetary policies, confiscation, divorce or tort law.[2]

"The term typically refers to redistribution on an economy-wide basis rather than between selected individuals."

Letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison.

Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise.

Entitlement mentality: I bought a house and should therefore pay less taxes than someone who didn't.

Entitlement mentality: I have kids, and should therefore pay less taxes than someone who doesn't.


For every dollar that is deducted from taxes, a dollar has to be extracted from someone else's pocket. That means higher tax rates on every taxpayer, present and future. Therefore, deductions are robbery/redistribution as much as SCHIP.
