What Is "Fair Share of Taxes"?

Most Americans have no representation in Washington

Our message is clear: "your children will have a shot in life". I think it will resonate much better than offering them free library cards... dont toy think?

Your message is a lie. Just ask the children of Venezuela...

Here you go, stupid....the "shot" that you want to give children in America. It's exponentially worse than a gun shot to their head:

However, since Chavez imposed what he and his followers proudly called “21st- Century Socialism” on one of the wealthiest nations in South America, Venezuela has been in economic, political and social free fall. Disarming the country won’t work, but one can certainly understand current President Nicolas Maduro’s desire to disarm as many Venezuelans as possible. He and his cronies are increasingly worried that an angry and frustrated populace could turn his country into a revolutionary cauldron.

Venezuela faces collapse because of socialist government, disarmed populace

Maybe we should look at somalia to see what a failure your whole ideology is...

If it's fair to tax everyone the same percent, then the government should spend the same percent on everyone.

I agree with this, as long as the same percent is zero.

The federal government has zero business spending money on any individual(s), group(s), or interests. That would be extra-Constitutional activity.

He is talking about Cuba... What a clueless moron you are.... While Americans are getting addicted to pain killers because of the doctors with your mindset who see their patients like walking wallets and try to extract as much as they can

Cuban healthcare system delivers the same healthcare service, for the fraction of the cost in the US, because they dont allow morally corrupt people like yourself to screw them over

More indisputable proof that progressives in general - and alpine in particular - are pathological liars.

I don't see a problem.

This facility is exceptional in its 1st world amenities.

Some duct tape and curtains is all it needs.

Wait for another couple weeks... you will see how communist American people will get after you greedy selfish scums screwed them over and over and over again...

I'm greedy? You are the one who refuses to pay for the college education of anyone. Come alpine - how many times have you written a check for the tuition of someone else?

I'll ask again alpine - how many times have you written a check for someone'a tuition? Why are you avoiding the question?

Blabbering about what checks you have cut is a common practice where you are coming from?

Hey genius! Is a "couple of weeks" up yet?
How did THAT fucking delusion work out for you? You once again in your loser life got your lunch eaten by the 'Makers' in the country.
Now fuck off and go beg your mommy to sneak you some more dope money.

 

[dannyboys]

Even poor communist cubans have lower child mortality rates and longer life expectancy. And these "patriots" think American lower class dont deserve any better.

I think the MAJORITY of the people in this country get the message here...

If you need to get to the hospital in Cuba the ONLY way is for someone to put a fucking wheelbarrow to get you there. Fifty year old medical technology. Fifty year old glass syringes! The Communists can't afford a disposable syringe costing four cents!

I've been to Cuba you asshole!
Have you?????????
PLEASE go to Little Havana and spout your bullshit lies. PLEASE!!!!!
Let us know where you'd let your personal effects sent.

Imagine a low income family kid, wanting to be a doctor. Thats her passion. In our country, we tell this kid no, she couldnt be a doctor. Because, well, her family dont have the money, mc donalds aint gonna help her out, nor she can learn it in a library. We just destroy the American dream for these people, at their early ages, right off the bat.

Send this poor downtrodden child my way. I'll recruit her into the military to acquire these skills. After she acquired these skills I'll then recruit her into the medical practice she desires. She gives. We give something in return. Her dreams are realized.

So let's recap.

• Education is not only 100% free in this country - it is mandatory through high school.

• Public Libraries are filled with books that are 100% free

• Public Libraries have computers with internet access which are 100% free

• Even minimum wage, entry level positions include tuition reimbursement for a 100% free college education

• The United States military will provide you with 100% free college education

All I see are practical ways for a free college education. And yet progressive idiots like alpine would have you believe the progressive propaganda sob-story that people can't get an education in America. Just another example of the idiocy of progressivism.

Education is not free, but is paid for with tax money collected by either the state or local school district.

The books in libraries are not free, but are paid for with tax money (unless donated by a private citizen.

The computers and internet access are likewise paid for with tax money.

Sadly, the tuition reimbursement is paid by the profits of the company that offers the free education.

The taxpayers of the United States pay for the education you describe as "the 100% free college education"

It is free to the students who have those resources available to them...

Your message is based on wrong headed assumptions. Cubans probably don't have as many dying due to drug abuse, alcohol, obesity,

Boom! Like all progressives, alpine only speaks from a brainwashed ideology instead of speaking from experience and/or research like you do DB. So aggravating that these people have the influence to destroy this country.

Fair share is your final tax bill after discovering huge loopholes.

There is no "probably" about it. Our lifestyle - especially the abundance of unhealthy food - is what leads to our results. It's a credit to the greatest healthcare in the world that our numbers aren't exponentially worse.

]Obama keeps pushing his "fair share" of taxes in his speeches. What is fair? Fair is a relative term which means different things to different people. There is no set rule for what one thinks is fair. Is it fair that over forty percent of potential taxpayers pay absolutley no taxes at all? They probably think that is fair. But, do people who pay all the taxes think that is fair? Probably not! Is it fair that people who make more the a million dollars a year pay the largest portion of the federal income taxes? You probably think it is fair but they think they are already paying more than their fair share. So, you can see this is a fruitless debate. It all comes down to there is no way for the government to raise people in lower income brackets to higher ones. Each individual can only do that themselves. Since government can not raise these people to higher levels, in their misguided thinking the only thing they can do is knock the higher income people down as far as they can through tax rates. That at best is un-American and at worst tyrannical government.

No income tax

 

[TheDude]

You conservatives aren't going to LIKE this very much.


I. The subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the state.

Adam Smith
Wealth of Nations.

Let me know when you have a more definitive source than the father of modern economics.

I don't see anything with a dollar sign. For instance, guys like Trump contribute regardless of how much cash taken in taxes.

Perhaps, but it's not free to society.

I agree 100%. But it is available to the students for no charge so that defeats alpine's idiotic position that society needs to take it even further and pay even more based off of his irrational and emotional made up scenario.
