Facts that PROVE the rich are NOT paying their fair share

[GeorgiaBoy]

Ah.....you have health insurance. That's good. I'd hate for you to become destitute as a result of getting sick or something.

Would you like to pay federal income taxes this year?

I'd like to never pay taxes. But that's not an option lol. Social Security. Now that. THAT pisses me off. Stealing my money.....

 

[LoneLaugher]

I really wish we could all just get along. All this bitterness and hatred is what is screwing up our government. Politicians don't care about the country. They care about their party and beating the other party. I would love to see all Americans fight for a single cause because in the end it affects all of us.

That is the idea, Georgia Boy..............I am pleased to subsidize your use of the nation's infrastructure, security and communications network.

Sadly, they are paying WAY more than their fair share, while the lazy parasite class (ie liberals, progressives, Democrats, etc.) are along for the free ride in this country. These are numbers directly from the IRS and cannot be disputed:

The top 1% of EARNERS (key word here parasites - the wealthy EARN their wealth - they don't "have it" as you idiots like to say) pay almost 40% of all taxes.

The top 10% of EARNERS pay 70% of all taxes!!!

Meanwhile, the filthy liberal, progressive, Democrat lazy parasites earn 13% of the wealth but pay only 3%

This is ridiculously unfair. If they earn 13% of the wealth, they should shoulder the burden for 13% of the taxes. How can these idiot parasites complain the wealthy don't pay their fair share when the top 1% pays nearly 40% of all taxes, and the top 10% pays an asinine 70%?!?!?! More proof of how stupid the idiot liberal, progressive, Democrat parasites are....

What the Top 10 Percent of Earners Really Pay in Taxes

The top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% combined, yet they are paying only 40% of the taxes.....

You want those who don't have anything to pay what they don't have? And those who have to not pay their fair share?

Where in the world are you left wingers coming up with the fact that the rich aren't paying their fair share???? You think just because they have more money for you they should pay twice as much for the same services????? So if Im rich I should pay 5 dollars for a big mac while everyone else pays 2.50? Really?

You're so full of shit...

My mother started off when I was a kid 25 years ago (when I was 6-7) as a bookkeeper for a small business. You know what her title is now? CFO, yeah thats right she operates semi-large corporation with manufacturing plants all across the US..

So don't tell me one cant work their way up the ladder - My mom did it..

My dad did it too - He started his own audio video business... He charges like 300 bucks an hour...

It's your fault that you're a failure...

Oh BTW we were dirt poor when I was growing up - every night it was mac & cheese... Now my parents live quite well... They vacation every 2-3 months...

But they worked hard..

Hell, my mom didn't even get her degree until like 2005...

Hard work does payoff....

How did two successful people raise such a fucking idiot?

Wow.... I always love the progressive lack of substance in a post. Its always "you're an idiot if you don't agree with our zombie philosophy."

I'm an idiot because ______________________________________________???

I think if you call someone an idiot you should at least have the mental capacity and decency to explain why they're an idiot..

Just for the record both parents are libertarians just like I am and we agree on most issues...

Isn't it obvious?

When Bill Gates first built his house, it was taxed at it's value, he fought it and won. I pay a higher percentage tax on my house compared to what it's worth than Bill Gates pays on his. I'm sure he's not an exception to the rule.

I'm not a left winger, they call me a neo con.

Those who have more should pay more, it's as simple as that. Ever hear the phrase "you can't get blood out of a turnip?"

Again,, the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90% combined, they should be paying 90% of the taxes, not 40%.

lol yes I have health insurance. Maybe Im not upset because I know I won't be here long. Maybe I understand that I am at the very bottom of a company and drive cars around all day. Should I be mad? I don't know. But 20K to drive around all day seems like good money to me.

$20,000/year isn't below the poverty line unless you've got at least four people in your household living on it. By federal standards, anyway.

The problem is you have simpleton brainwashed morons on this board and in life who want socialism, which violates the Bill of Rights, hence makes it illegal, yet they could care less just as long as they get something for free.

They're like monkeys who just take fruit off trees and eat it... Well now the fruit is running out and they're attacking the trees..

They want more fruit...

You see all these progressives do is demand free shit and have zero solution for their demands other than denying they're de facto socialists..

Besides this is a political board - what did you expect? agreement?

Why do all progressives answer posts in sentences less than 10 words??

Please tell me why I'm a "idiot?"

You can call me mean and rude but calling me an idiot would not be accurate.

You are not a idiot. You are an idiot.

 

[freedombecki]

Those top 10% buy politicians to change laws so they can legally screw the American people.

Right winger drooling morons are simply too <stage 2 Freudian insult omitted> to ever get that.

But lets look at some facts.

....

It's not about how hard you work or how thrifty you are. It's about how much money you have and who you can pay off.

Like Bambam holding out the blackberry in which he assured Solyndra contributors to his campaign they'd get the 5.35 billion dollars in Federal Loan Guarantees that came due last month upon their successful bankruptcy?

Are you sure you're aiming straight at the worst offenders?

How about Nancy Pelosi's family member getting the last sweet Solyndra deal two days before the deadline was up? Can you say Democrat nepotism?

They didn't give any of that federal money to Republicans in business.

Wake up and smell the coffee, rdean. You're reading from the DNC script that omits itself from being a target.

Well I stand corrected lol.

Do you realize that if you support republican candidates who want to "broaden the base" with their tax policies that all that means is people EXACTLY like you will be paying more? Sure, you're making 20k but you need to pay more taxes according to the GOP today. You cool with that?

Under Cain's ridiculous plan you'd be paying an extra almost $2000/year in federal taxes. Good luck!

It's OK.....he's using more of the government services than wealthy folks. He's cool with his taxes being raised.

 

[MikeK]

Ha. I work 50 hours a week and live below the poverty line. Do I take government assistance? No. My problem is not with the man that works his whole life and has blisters on every part of his hands. I have no problem with a man with pride that does all he can and doesn't take help. My problem is the person that won't accept his responsibilities and lives off the government.

Why are you working fifty hours a week but living below the poverty line? What is the reason for that?

What kind of work are you doing and what is the poverty index in your state?

I think someone has already stated I am above the poverty line or something. And I drive cars at an inspection center for one of the leading used car corporations

I just want a flat tax. I don't really care how much I end up paying if I know that everyone else is paying the exact same percentage. End all the damn bickering between the classes and stop the finger pointing.

Those top 10% buy politicians to change laws so they can legally screw the American people.

Right winger drooling morons are simply too fucking stupid to ever get that.

More stupid still are the Left winger booger eating retards that think passing more regulations is the solution to the injustices (and their appurtenant consequences) causes by passing more regulations.

But lets look at some facts.

The economic meltdown led by Wall Street. How can trillions be taken out of the economy without anyone going to jail? Because what used to be against the law ...

---SNIP'D---​

... is that legally possible? Because NOW it's "legal".

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”
&#8213; P.J. O'Rourke​

Regulatory Capture is a game played by statists from both sides of the aisle--to exclude the Left from this ignores every obviously state advancing agenda from the Left Wing since FDR's New Deal.

Notice Republicans don't even seem to know that "supply and demand" is the foundation of capitalism. No wonder they see these scams as "capitalism" and as long as it's legal, it's OK! The fuckers.

Perhaps you're right, and Republican ignorance plays a significant role in the legalization of these frauds--I suppose then you're indicting Democrats for their central role in knowingly advancing these frauds.

It's not about how hard you work or how thrifty you are. It's about how much money you have and who you can pay off.

I agree that this how statists from both sides of the aisle operate, and it is all the evidence I require to claim that there is no meaningful distinction to be made between the Republican and Democratic parties.

Im cool with a flat tax. Im cool with the candidate that opens up this country so we can thrive. Thats all I care about. Id rather not pay 2000 extra but if thats the price for my America to get back on its feet ill pay it 10 times over.

Are you aware of the realities that make a flat tax unfair? Has anyone ever explained this to you?

You can't afford to do that, can you?
