Everybody should pay fifty percent of their income in Federal Taxes.

[Neubarth]

Everybody should pay fifty percent of their income in Federal Taxes. That is after the first $40,000 in income which should be Tax Free. That $40,000 will be called the subsistence income and everybody in the United States will be allowed that.

I believe in what is fair is fair. Income Taxes shall and WILL be uniform across the nation and across the economic classes....

Why should anyone have to pay 50% of what they make over $40,000 to a government that's bloated and inefficient? I work hard for my money. Before I give it to the Feds I'd like to see the government value the money I give them as much as I do. Get back to me when they aren't blowing billions on Solyndra and the Chevy Volt.

50%. Seems a bit high to me.
As the song says, "If 10% is good enough for Jesus it ought to be enough for Uncle Sam."

Or missile defense?

I love how you CONZ complain about investments in new technologies and look to cut them off as if investment in our future is a bad bet. How much has been spent on missile defense? Oh a couple HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS Do we have a missile defense system that can shoot down enemy missiles? NO.

But I bet you still support funding for researching into Reagan's peace shield, don't you?

Taxes should be progressive. Top earners should pay what they were under that Pinko Commie Eisenhower.

Nope.. tax 20% on all income. No exceptions, no exemptions no excuses. We all should have some skin in this game.

 

[BlindBoo]

Why don't we just tax the fuck out of super-pacs? 75%

VERY SIMPLE! The United States is Trillions of Dollars in Debt after the bailout of the Banks. We have to balance the budget and we need to do it as of yesterday.

I believe a totally fair and equitable and uniform tax like that will solve our problems.

Amen! Praise God for logical solutions for our problems.

How many TRILLIONS of dollars have been pissed away on LBJ's fool Great Society and war on poverty?

Has it reduced either the raw numbers or percentage of people in poverty?....NO!

But I bet you still support the socialistic welfare state.

Cuts both ways, comrade.

Nah, 50% isn't high enough; it should be 75%.

Amen! Praise God for logical solutions for our problems.

Once the national debt is paid off we can adjust the income tax rate to 40 percent of all income over $40,000. We will call that the "40 - 40 Plan" and it will be the Guiding Light into the Grand Future of this Great Land.

Praise God for Uniform Taxes!

once we reign in government spending and make politicians more accountable, this is something that i would not have much of a problem with.

The Danes pay 70% of their income in taxes, and they are the happiest people on earth.

Denmark: The Happiest Place on Earth - ABC News

Could the Danes really be the happiest people in the world? When ABC News anchor Bill Weir traveled there to find out, he asked random Danes to rate themselves in terms of happiness, on a scale of one to 10. Many people rated themselves at least an eight, and there were several nines and 10s. Finally, one grouchy Dane came along who said she didn't believe Danes were so happy. But then she quickly conceded that she herself felt rather content with her life, and said Danes in general had very little to complain about.

Danes do have one potential complaint: high taxes. The happiest people in the world pay some of the highest taxes in the world -- between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes. In exchange, the government covers all health care and education, and spends more on children and the elderly than any country in the world per capita. With just 5.5 million people, the system is efficient, and people feel "tryghed" -- the Danish word for "tucked in" -- like a snug child.

Those high taxes have another effect. Since a banker can end up taking home as much money as an artist, people don't chose careers based on income or status. "They have this thing called 'Jante-lov,' which essentially says, 'You're no better then anybody else,'" said Buettner. "A garbage man can live in a middle-class neighborhood and hold his head high."

ACTUALLY VERY LITTLE WAS SPENT ON LBJ'S PROGRAMS, WHICH WERE LOTS OF TALK AND LITTLE FINANCIAL SUBSTANCE. REMEMBER HE WAS SPENDING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS ON THE WAR IN VIETNAM.

Go back and look, the war was greatly expanded when LBJ was President. Nixon followed him and remember his famous statement on the White House tapes, "I am n ot going to be the first president who is going to spend money on the G-d D-mn Ni--ers to pull them out of poverty.

Nixon did not spend money on Blacks or Hispanics. Ford followed Nixon and he didn't do it either. By then the War on Poverty had been forgotten. Hardly any real money was spent.

You really think that they would pay down the debt?
They would create more programs and spend it all Neubarth.
getting 2.2 trillion already in taxes is what has caused this crappy mess.

Drop the income tax and move over to a progressive consumption tax, exempting people from the bare necessities and minimum consumption level.

Labor should have never been taxed in the first place.
