If they want to pay more taxes they can. Write the check, the Treasury will gladly cash it. Walk the walk or STFU.
Just so long as you don't have to pay any more, right? This is the stupidest argument I have ever heard, yet so many of you keep repeating it. Here is a much better argument. We are taking in less revenue than anytime in the last 60 years as a percentage of GDP. The biggest reason for this is that tax rates are at the lowest levels in the past 60 years. Suprise!!! Duh!!!
There is no argument, at this point, that legitimately can argue against raising taxes. We need to raise taxes on the super wealthy. We also need to raise taxes on everyone else, but not by quite as much. The kicker to it all though is that we need to make Congress accountable as to how they spend our money. All we ever do is complain about how they waste it, so we come up with the argument that we just shouldn't give it to them in the first place. Well, there is a problem with that as it just doesn't work out all too well. What we need are reasonable tax rates that allow our government to function properly and for everyone, while not wasting away the money, we as taxpayers, send to Washington. We can do this by electing responsible people to represent us, and by throwing them out when they don't.
I pay enough, thanks. But if these "millionaires" want to pay higher taxes, there is NOTHING stopping them. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
PS-we have a spending problem, not a revenue problem. The government spends more than they take in. Raising taxes will not solve the underlying issue.
That's about as dumb as me saying we only have a revenue problem and no spending problem. We have both a spending problem and a revenue problem. Revenues are at their lowest levels in 60 years as a percent of GDP. And please don't tell me that doesn't matter, that actual dollars are higher so that is enough. Doing so would only make you look really dumb.
