What do the 47% get?

[Care4all]

FYI-the standard deduction when income taxes were first introduced in this nation was the equivalent of $65,000 in today's dollar....the poor and middle income earners NEVER HAD TO PAY income tax...the first 65k was the standard deduction...only the wealthiest had to pay.....ON what they earned above the 65k.

How would a bloated government survive without taxing the middle class? What would happen to social programs and the war department?

the wealthiest are taxed at a higher rate above a million a year....

and taxing everyone could very well be the problem...Congress critters saw dollar signs by going to everyone being taxed...and waste and abuse began....also growing our defense spending went through the roof....

if only the wealthiest were taxed, then congress critters would get holy hell from the wealthiest on spending as example $700 billion/ that's seven hundred thousand million dollars on the defense dept each year and we ALL KNOW the wealthy have congress's ear...

Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
JFK

is that what the corporations are saying?

JFK said it.
I repeated it.

well I KNEW jfk said it, but why did you repeat it??? who was it meant for when you said it?

 

[Care4all]

and if they don't have children, like the seniors? or they are single?

Hey shit head! Seniors on social security don't pay income tax because they won't make enough to exceed the standard deduction!

Why don't you go to bed and get some rest? Being that stupid has to be really exhausting!

duh
no kidding, that's why they are part of the 47% not paying federal income tax now....

So why are you bitching? They don't pay any more in taxes and they don't pay any less because
THEY DON'T PAY TAXES!

having trouble with your reading comprehension?

what are they getting out of this biggest tax cut in our history of Trump's? Cuts to their medicare.

More lies, this bill does nothing to medicare.


.

not a lie at all....RYAN said it, his next task is to cut and reform entitlement programs INCLUDING MEDICARE....All so the corporations, who are already swimming in cash....and have not invested in the USA with it nor raised worker salaries.... can get even more cash through the tax cuts for them....and 35% of these corporations are owned by foreigners....so they are giving a tax cut to foreigners and nothing to the 47% OF the citizens living here....well that's just GRAND isn't it?

it's bull crap that they pay no federal taxes, they pay federal SS taxes and Federal Medicare taxes and they pay federal cigarette taxes which was suppose to pay for CHIP and the republicans killed that....but kept the darn taxes for it from these mostly poor that smoke.... and they pay federal gas taxes and other excise taxes....to the federal kitty.

if congress wanted to give a tax cut to workers, then they would have given a payroll tax cut....it's all in the same budget.

 

[Vastator]

47% of American citizens do not earn enough to pay federal income taxes....

What do they get out of this alleged TAX CUT?

Are they not affected at all other than reducing their benefits like their health care benefit and cutting their medicare and cutting their social security and/or cutting their CHIP benefit?

Aside from the blatant lies in your post... Many laws on the books favorably effect only limited groups; without granting anything additional to others, and most people seldom have a problem with that aspect. What do men get out of abortion laws? Nothing...
And if these folks don't pay any taxed to begin with; then this law is of little concern to them
This law, or rather change to existing law effects taxpayers. So the parasites will just have to accept that not every piece of legislation is about them.

I think I came at the thought of this happening.

One of the most oppressive worst run government programs getting the shaft, a blast even I am not expecting. If only Trump could also cut military, that does sound like it would make him the best president ever to rule in my book.

Anyway, the point with the cut is that the businesses reallocate here and thus Americans get high paying jobs. I think you missed this entirely. Meanwhile, most of the corporations are owned by Americans, so this means a nice bonus for those people. Maybe retirees can retire without stealing the money from the unborn now.

Are they not affected at all other than reducing their benefits like their health care benefit and cutting their medicare and cutting their social security and/or cutting their CHIP benefit?

that's what they want. they have nothing but disdain for people who are working class or poor.

What's funny is that most of them are probably working class and even poor. Hilarious.

If they weren't working class, why would they be so concerned about the economy? It's the working class and the poor who suffer most from a poor economy, not the upper classes. Why would they display such a vast amount of ignorance about almost everything? Because they are poorly educated, probably mostly only high school graduates. Studies show that racists are typically low education low intellience people, and most of our raging Trumpettes are racists.

they do pay social security tax and medicare tax, and all the social security surplus taxes that we collected for 20 years, was used in the budget for what only income tax revenues should have been paying.... so they borrowed SS surplus monies to pay for things not related to SS....

AND when Bush 2 gave his tax cut, the reason was the gvt was going to have a $5.6 trillion dollar surplus in the budget....but what the R's failed to tell you is that 5.6 trillion surplus was a Social security surplus estimate NOT an income tax surplus....

BUT WHO DID MOST OF THE TAX CUT MONIES GO TO? If you guessed the top 1% who pay Income Taxes, then you'd be correct....

Now the federal gvt does not want to pay back the SS surplus monies they borrowed and spent in the budget,

instead they want to cut SS and Medicare and all entitlement programs....

Republicans in Congress stink to high Heaven....like their rich master's asses.

I favor cutting entitlements. End the programs, and pay out what is owed; and be done with it. People need to learn to prepare for their own future, rather than have "daddy" withhold a portion of their allowance, for some later date.

I agree, paying what's owed is in no way an option whether those crap programs are cut or not.

We are in debt to the tune of 120 trillion dollars with wealth of 60 trillion dollars. You do the math... These programs and promising everything to everyone was one brilliant baby-boomer idea. As was enslaving their kids to pay for it all.

They eat too much. If they ate less they would be both richer and less fat.

This applies to those who aren't poor as well.

Its a turn of phrase, silly. Their being fat is a product of personal choice, and most especially revealing of their not so "poor" situation...
