It is simply indisputable - we have a severe spending problem

[P@triot]

The Democrats tax our income at the federal level, at the state level, and at the local level. What is left, we use to pay for our homes. But that's not enough for them - so they tax us again with property tax. What's left after paying our for our home, we use to put gas in our card. But that's still not enough for Democrats, so they tax us again with a gas tax. What's left after that third round of taxing isn't enough for the greedy Democrats, so they tax us again when we purchase our necessities with sales tax. But that's still not enough for the Democrats, so they tax us more (well over 60% of the middle class income is stolen by the government).

Interesting List of Taxes that exist today

Despite that obnoxiously long list of taxes, and despite revenues to the government being as high as they have ever been, it's still not enough for the Democrats. So now they have added these taxes:

Supporters of the deal are claiming this isn’t a tax increase—but take a look at your airline receipt. The airline security charge is just one of the taxes you’ll see. According to Delta Airlines, there’s also the Domestic Transportation Tax (7.5 percent), Travel Facilities Tax ($8.40), and U.S. International Transportation Tax ($17.20). These are all considered taxes.

And that sad part is, it has become so egregious, even the Dumbocrats are now ashamed of how much they are taxing and taking. So now they won't even call a spade a spade anymore - and taxes are being called "user fees"

Ryan-Murray Budget Deal Includes Sneaky Tax Increase

Republicans love taxes too, especially the regressive fee/sales/sin type shit, it's where all the states, even the red ones, went to fill their state level budget shortfalls. The very idea that republicans hate all taxes is false in the extreme. They just hate the taxes that the rich investor must pay, they have no problem shifting the burden down the income scale as far as possible.

On this issue we might have found common ground with our democrat / liberal brothers and sisters.

We all agree we have spending problems.

Conservatives and some republicans believe we spend too much.
Liberals/Democrats believe we don't spend nearly enough.

How many Millionaires and Billionaires lose their grocery money by Casino Gambling? The R's - lol the moral majority - had no problem with the growth of casino gambling which has become epidemic in our country. A hidden tax to be sure, and one which impacts the working poor to the highest degree. How about the lottery, how many working men and women chase that 'dream'? How many Billionaires?

Is it really that they "love" taxes [MENTION=33716]occupied[/MENTION], or is it that they are trying desperately to prevent the collapse from the Dumbocrat spending .

And shifting those taxes to the slime consuming cigarettes and alcohol is a billion times better than punishing producers and job creators. The GOP has the most impossible juggling act in the world to maintain - prevent Dumbocrat spending from collapsing the U.S. (like they did in Detroit) while not taxing the economy into collapse. All in all, I'd say they do a jaw-dropping job under the circumstances.

So let me get this straight - the working POOR feels they have the disposable income to gamble, and you want to blame the GOP for that?

Written by a classic, but classless partisan hack ^^^.

Spending is all about establishing priorities. The R's pretend tax breaks to the rich pay dividends which trickle down to the hoi polloi. We know that is bullshit, but bullshit repeated over and over and over stops stinking (at least to the senses of the naïve).

If we believe something meets the vision of the Founding Fathers as outlined in the Preamble to our Constitution, then we should be willing to pay the tax needed. If we believe the common defense includes protection from bacterial and viral infections, as well as from the guns of foreign invaders, than we need to pay the tax necessary for our protection; if we believe liberty is precious, then we must support it in all of its manifestations - freedom from hunger, from poverty, from oppression, and pay the tax necessary to secure its blessing to ourselves, our fellow citizens and to our posterity.

"Tax breaks" are not exclusively relegated to the "rich".

Only greedy, lazy, parasites believe that common defense "includes protection from bacterial and vial infections". How many hospitals bills have you covered for someone in need Wry?

Our founders never promised freedom from hunger. And if you want someone free from hunger, then you can buy them food any time you want. But you don't do it, do you [MENTION=20297]Wry Catcher[/MENTION]? Nope! Because like all communists, you're greedy and selfish.

When is the last time you skipped a meal to make sure someone else had a meal? Exactly...

You're hypocrisy is repulsive and deplorable. You make real Americans sick...

You're position is that the working poor is so irresponsible and despicable, that they gamble what little money they have, and you feel the GOP is to blame for that.

Apparently, seeing your own words repeated to you have made you realize how stupid they are?

True enough, but if need were considered it's not likely the rich would be deserving. In fact the rich have more to lose - in terms of material wealth - than do the hoi polloi.

These words are yours:

"You're position is that the working poor is so irresponsible and despicable, that they gamble what little money they have, and you feel the GOP is to blame for that."

As I said, and with all honesty, you really are stupid. With your words you built a Straw Man. No where did I call the working poor "irresponsible and despicable"; those words are yours and a clear statement of how you feel about the working poor. Probative evidence that you are a bigot.

Indian Casinos bozo, built in or near urban areas. BTW, ever flown into/out of JFK, O'Hare, Atlanta, LAX or SFO? I doubt very much Vegas is our nation's busiest. But since you said so and I know you stretch the truth I checked.

Vegas is number 10, each I named had more passengers in 2012 then did McCarran, the others are Miami, DFW, Denver and Charlotte.

Why do you lie?
