Who are the 47% who pay no federal taxes?

[Peach]

If the 47% WANT to pay taxes, as Mitt said today, why does HE send his money OUT of the US to avoid them?

 

[spectrumc01]

You are part of that 47%.

I'm not. I pay a ton in Federal (and State) income taxes, despite having four little deductions, plus home owners deduction and chartiable deductions, yet I find Romney's comment as arrogant as anything that comes out of your mouth!

If Obama wasn't such a failed President, a divider, socialist and an ideological fool, I might consider him.

I know we pay federal taxes .. See it every year when we do our taxes ... Says it right on that little line.Only reason I dont have to write out a check for that is because hubby claims 0 all year. Plus we pay tons of taxes for the state of Georgia .. He works in the state of Fla but live here in Georgia so he has to pay taxes on ajob he works in FLA but the Fla residents dont have state taxes so they get more money. I really want to move across the border to save that money but the housing is in crapper we would not be able to sell anyway. Maybe we will rent it out but then we probably have to pay taxes on that too..


We pay tax tags for our cars every year which I think is outrageous in the state of Georgia. Just for my 2007 Sienna alone we pay almost 500.00 dollars a year for the tag. We pay city and county tax , Sale taxes , The list just goes on and on. How many people dont pay anything for the school or roads because they DONT own a house.. You get penalizatize for owning a house while the others reap the awards but you lefties say PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE. Where is their fare share. I dont care if they pay 12.00 a year .. that is is 1.00 a month .. Neighbor across the street has no kids in school but has to pay school taxes .. But the poor they get all kind of hand outs .. They get free food, cheap housing , they get help on their utilities but they sure are wearing name brand clothes and driving BMWs. ( this is in the so called projects in our town)
These are the same people in front of me in the store buying beer , and cigarettes.. they are not to poor for that.. Oh and they are the ones yelling the loudest about the rich not paying enough .. yeah so they can get more free Obama money.

It sounds to me that you are witnessing fraud. Fraud is a crime, and as a responsibile citizen of the US, you are compelled to report such fraud. Have you reported the crime that you see happening? or are you bitching just to bitch, with no intention of doing anything about it?

Because he above it all.

If the 47% WANT to pay taxes, as Mitt said today, why does HE send his money OUT of the US to avoid them?

Because he paid what was required. Can we see your receipt for OVERPAYING what you are legally required or for your donation to the Treasury to help the rest of us.

I didn't think so.



Now be sure to tell me that your not running for President which has ZERO do do with your remark!

Its not true that half the population pays nothing.

Almost 1/2 the adult citizenry pays nothing in federal income tax.... this is true

There's far more that gets paid than federal income tax.

And when you bring up the typical "they pay other taxes", well guess what, so do those who actually do pay federal income tax...

And?

I'm not really getting your point? Are you saying we should raise taxes on the poor?

Yeah, but when we're discussing the income tax, you keep bringing it up as if you're too stupid to understand the discussion. Why don't you say there are other taxes as if you comprehended the point and disagreed with it instead of your duh, I don't get the obvious point?

There is no way a flat tax could survive longer than twenty minutes. Tax loopholes is the process the politicians use to repay for campaign contributions. Still I think a couple of times in our income tax history a loophole was passed to help the common folk, but I can't verify that.

Not according to you. Seems to be a lot of poverty and destitution out there to me. Or are we just funding deadbeats? Which is it? Oh! I forget, you're a Lib...you demand your cake and want to eat it too....as long as someone else pays for it.

 

[thereisnospoon]

Speaking of income taxes, is Romney going to show America the rest of his tax returns? How do we know that he is not one of those that does not pay income taxes?
My best friend is one of those Romney victims, he lost a leg at Buna New Guinea in 1942, but he worked for forty years and now draws VA compensation and Social Security. I often wonder who did more for the country Romney or my victim friend?

This is a non issue. It's deflection. No other candidate has been so scrutinized for what is perceived by the looney left to be a crime...
I have a solution....Hold EVERY single candidate to the same standard. Come back and see us when that is mandated.

 

[beretta304]

How's things in the ME going while you Liberal morons are diverting attention to Romney's remarks. Hell don't want to focus on that, now do we?

Real poverty doesn't have Ipods, cell phones, two cars and computers. We have a much lower real poverty level.

All this poverty stuff must be old hat to those that lived through the Great Depression. I mean calling the unemployed lazy and won't work, they drink a lot, wear cruddy clothes, and wait for the welfare check seems straight out of history books. Then WWII came along and most of the poor lazy drunkards seemed to go to work, pay their taxes and try to become rich. I guess how we complain about the poor is more accurate of the economy than the Dow or other indicators.

Why didn't the Democrats, which have bitched about these legal offshore accounts for years, change the laws and tighten up the tax code while they had the majority in both houses? It is pretty hypocritical isn't it?

You know the last President that cut deductions and and tightened the tax laws?

So spare us your BS?

That person is NOT to whom Romney refers. Not even close.
