[Skull Pilot]

To put money into the economy. They should propose bigger taxes on:

1) Sugary drinks
2) All pornographic materials
3) All alcoholic beverages
4) All video games
5) All luxury vehicles
6) All tobacco products
7) All fastfood


Grant tax breaks to people and businesses that:

1) All working students that maintain a GPA of 3.5 and higher
2) The working poor who work overtime and more than one job.
3) All working single parents
4) All grocery store and markets that sell bio food products
5) All people who work as police officers in high crime areas
6) All teachers who volunteer and excel at working at at risk schools.
7) All businesses and individuals who recycle.

How about the Government spending less money? How about the Government not trying to regulate our behavior through punitive taxation?

How about you Liberals minding yer own fuckin' business?

Besides, Taxes take money OUT of the economy you retard.

Stupid, can't you read? I proposed taxes and tax breaks.

So collect more from some while collecting less from others. Seems to me to be a way to enact more government control and nothing more.

 

[Skull Pilot]

My proposals reward that which is beneficial and helpful and taxes that which non-productive and unhealthy, in the long run the government waste less money on health care and recycling would save plenty of money and natural resources.

No, your proposals reward what you think is beneficial and tax what you think is unproductive. It is not gov'ts job to make moral judgments like that.
There is no proof any of that would save money. Cigarettes have been heavily taxed for over 30 years and I haven't seen any savings anywhere.

Please explain how fatty foods, sugary drinks, fast food, tobacco products, video games, alcoholic beverages, and non-productive teachers etc, are all productive things that help Americans and good luck explaining it because you can't

Please tell me how putting people who work for those industries on unemployment will help the country.

Every time you dorks can't have things the way you want you all use the strawman of "too much" government control, its pathetic, yet at the same time you complain about crap thats costing the government too much money and reject anything that could reduce it.

Lame excuse, you're going to be putting more productive and healthier and educated people into the workforce under my plan.

Some of the ideas would have merit, if the fundamental concept had merit.

But the reality is this is redistribution of income and government being our nanny. For many conservatives, the actual rate is less annoying than the idea that we are being manipulated through the tax code.

So while it would be cool to reduce bad behavior, the tax code is not your sandbox to remake people into a new animal.

though I would be cool if they would eliminate the medicare tax and replace it with a tax on dietary fat. one gram of fat would cost a penny. It would raise the price of a candy bar by a dime, the price of a hamburger by a dollar, a bag of fritos by $1 etc. And given the national fat intake, would fund medicare and a large portion of social security.

But that really isn't the government's job.

This is not redistribution of income, its a set of proposals to reward who do things to help the environment, attain educational excellence, teach children the right and proper way under difficult conditions and sell healthy food to consumers. The problem with Republitards is that they ignore the environment, have no regard for the nutrition and health of Americans and have done little to improve education in poverty stricken areas instead they blame the parents for stressing achievement in these ran down, unproductive schools with teacher who care more about getting a check over teaching students.


The things that make Americans fatter, less healthier, and destroys the environment needs to be tax heavily, because in the end we all pay the price for these things whether it be the rising costs of health care or the cost of building prison and taking care of the homeless and soaring welfare costs because of a lack of good available education to children.


Besides, not every American deserves to have a tax break, people should earn these tax breaks I have proposed because there should be an incentive for doing what helps. Just because you work hard at job doesn't mean the government should tax you less in order for you to have more money, thats a matter you should take up with your boss at your job, ask for a raise.

Face it, the government is NOT here to socially engineer its people and that is the only purpose that sin taxes accomplish. It is downright wrong to base tax on what you perceive as desirable and undesirable. You operate under the assumption that not only do you know better than others but that those views should be enforced though the government by the confiscation of wealth. That is nuts and speaks of government that is certainly NOT what America stands for. Just take a look at your list, most of what is on there is not destructive or bad for society anyway. Video games??? Is THAT such a huge problem!!! Luxury vehicles? If only we taxed those higher all the vices that come with a nice car would go away. Care to list those vices again?

How about we try this: GET THE GOVERNMENT OUT OF PEOPLES LIVES. You do not need the government to dictate lifestyle and choice. That is what I have FREEDOM for.

The only entity who gains from the value added tax is the government. What an insult to all of us to throw down another excessive tax on all of us and call it a value. I'd support a 20 percent tax on all government employees.

???
That is asinine. Government employees should not be taxed AT ALL. ZERO. It always confused me as to why the government taxes the people that it pays. Rather, pay within the government should simply be scaled down to achieve the same goal.. Why are we paying an IRS agent to calculate, process and maybe even collect/return money that was originally held by the government in the first place. It is akin to me paying an employee that I hire 10% more and then telling that same employee that he has to fill out some forms and send that 10% BACK to me at the end of each year. A waste of process if you ask me.

Yeah, under my plan the government would be "culprits" for "socially engineering" people to eat healthier and avoid alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, recycle and conscious of the environment, avoid sugary drinks and fatty foods, while the "good guys" in the private sector socially engineer Americans to do th exact opposite to become fat, lazy, sick, and pollute the environment, you made a great case against the government, your logic is you'd rather have private sector slavemasters who are not held accountable for their actions to social engineer your retarded brain, than have the government who would be held accountable for ensuring a safe environment, quality education and healthy food for the people.

 

[FA_Q2]

It is not surprising that you missed the point entirely. MY point is that I do not want a slave master AT ALL. I have the power, I have the choice and I like being free. YOU seem to need a slave master and therefore turn to the government looking for one. Why do you seem to believe that the private market is MAKING me do anything?

And you idiots can't seem to understand that the fucking government needs to spend less of our money.

You reduce the cost of government by making it smaller not by raising taxes or by ham handed social engineering.

Let everyone keep more of their own money and you'll see some growth.

Lame excuse, you're going to be putting more productive and healthier and educated people into the workforce under my plan.

And just what will all those productive people be doing, working for the government?

Keep your fucking nose out of peoples' personal lives. It's none of your fucking business what anyone eats or drinks or if they go to college or not.
