Should The Rich Be Required To Pay Higher Taxes In the US?

[bripat9643]

Absolutely, they should pay more.

Why should we all get looted more?

I doubt the move to tax the rich more would effect you.

Which is where leftists make the same mistake.

What do you think the rich guy does when he is hit with an expense? He just has to dig deeper into his pocket?

I have bad news for you: we all pay for those tax hikes. The rich are our employers and producers. They make that money up elsewhere. They don't give raises to their workers, they increase the cost of their products or services to us, they move some or all of their operations overseas, but they will recoup that lost money somewhere.

In the fantasy of the left, when we increase taxes on the rich, they just have to do with one less Hummer or boat. They have to cut their staff down by one maid or servant. That only works in the movies. Real life doesn't work that way. In real life, the big guy never loses and the little guy always pays.

I love this leftist theory that we can impose confiscatory taxation on corporations and it won't affect the "working man." That just shows what a gang of dishonest covetous sleazebags they are.

If they do with one less Hummer, then the guy who makes Hummers is out of a job.

One thing we do know is that Supply Side Economics has been a failure

No it hasn't, it was successful what has been a failure is government, they waste, steal or lose our tax money.......and then that effects the economy....18 trillion in the hole means 18 trillion not being used to create an economy.

We had no debt until we adopted supply side economics. After all, Reganites claimed deficits don't matter and all tax cuts pay for themselves

What do you mean we had no debt.......and tax cuts do pay for themselves, but the politicians always, always spend more than we take in...it is spending that is the problem, not the amount we take in....stop the spending and the problem goes away.

Fine, then cut spending BEFORE you cut taxes

I think the rich should ABSOLUTELY pay more because the majority of them are selfish and don't care about anybody but themselves! Trust me, if you are a millionaire, it is NOT going to hurt you if you just pay a little more in taxes. I believe that if you are a good and righteous person, you would want to help the poor or people that are less fortunate. It's as simple as that! People need to stop being so selfish.

Thinking is not your strong suit, the rich already pay higher taxes and the rich already pay the majority of taxes. So much for your hate the rich thread. You should pen a thank you note to the rich.

Reagan's tax cuts brought in almost 2 times the amount in taxes than before, and the democrats in congress spent even more than that........they lied to Reagan about cutting spending and he learned his lesson about congressional democrats.

Reagan benefitted from a momentary economic spike. But once that spike ended, the lowered tax rate remained........resulting in almost tripling the national debt

Correct which is what they thought in the big union days. We can just keep taking from the rich because they won't miss it and have plenty left in that pile of money of theirs.

I guess that's why all our jobs are overseas today. The left won't blame their policies, they blame the rich guy for wanting to be rich. From the leftist point of view, wanting to keep your wealth is greedy, but taking wealth that isn't yours is not.

ROLF! Yeah, it was pure coincidence that the "momentary economic spike" occured during the Reagan administration. The fact that his policies have never been tried since doesn't have a thing to do with it!

Are you lying or just ignorant? The Democrat controlled congress promised to cut spending to keep that from happening, shocker they lied and didn't do it.

Bullshit

Agree to a necessary spending level and THEN set your tax rate to cover it.

This morning on Fox News Sunday, Dr. Ben Carson provided an example of the kind of misinformation that pollutes this (and every) campaign. While promoting his desire for a flat tax, Dr. Carson pointed out how people feel that having higher income taxpayers pay at a higher rate is wrong.

"That's socialism", he said, and I quote.

What the fuck? Well no, Dr. Carson, a graduated income tax system is not Socialism. Socialism is not about the structure of the tax system.

But no doubt, many were in full agreement with his characterization. So is he ignorant, or just playing to the crowd? And why would anyone buy that statement?

Oh really? What happened during the "sequester"?" A minute cut in spending, that was even proposed by Obama, and numskulls like you acted like it was the end of the world.

A graduated income tax was one of the items Karl Marx listed in his platform to achieve communism.

Apparently Carson is smarter than you.

 

[blackhawk]

Having the rich pay more in taxes only helps the poor if the government spends the extra money in a wise and responsible way something they do not have a very good history of doing.

Democrats want slavery, some things never change. In this case slavery to government where government controls the wealth and whips you with fines and jail if you get uppity.

Control of the economy is all that matters, and a graduated income tax is an attempt to control economic decisions.

That's not what socialism is. It's public ownership and control of the means of production.

So for the record, you're saying that you agree a graduated tax rate is socialism?
