That will never happen.
The 47% who pay for nothing will no doubt vote for whoever wants to continue their free ride.
Wonder how long the country can afford em???
yeah...gotta make sure the rich people who make their money tax exempt start paying.
and let's get rid of that corporate welfare.
Yes. I'm all for getting rid of corporate welfare and all the subsidies as well.
As for the rich.
They already pay the majority of the Fed taxes that run this country.
Once the Bush tax cuts expire they will be paying even more.
Of course the Govt will try to tax them even more to pay for HC.
Will have to wait and see how that turns out and what the consequences will be.
.
when 1% of the population has 95% of the wealth, shouldn't they pay 95% of the tax burden given that's what proportionate to their earnings.
i'd submit they pay far less in terms of effect on their wealth.
this idea that they're being hurt is silly. they paid higher taxes when ronald reagan was president then they will after bush's tax cuts sunset.
btw... you are aware, yes, that bush was the only leader in the history of recorded time who cut taxes during wartime, right?
how about getting off of the subject of 'entitlements', which wouldn't be a drip... and get to the issue of military spending.
