Why does the 1% bitch about the 99% using what they pay for?

[Meister]

Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy

Aren't some of those places bankrupt?

As a result of investing in unsound USA real estate bundles....

Ah, the evil USA, huh? It's our fault and not the social policies that are bankrupting them.

Actually these countries should have smelled a rat in the mix considering the Bush admin was the watch dog NOT!

And considering the history of the Bush familiy regarding financial institutions when there is a Bush nearby.

yeah, I figured as much coming from a partisan such as yourself. Democrats take no blame for nuttin'.

By the way, why didn't you answer my question on what percent should the 1%ers pay in total income tax? Don't want to tip your hand as to your politics, hmmm?

 

[merrill]

Should USA workers invest in tax dollar supported safety nets and never use them?

It does seem those connected to the 1% do destroy the economies and put zillions out of work ? If this never happened the 99% would not need safety nets to see them through the hard times perpetrated by the 1%.

Merrill, how much should the 1% be paying of the income taxes? Give a percentage of the total income tax collected. I'll be waiting for your answer.

It's not how much in dollars and cents it is more about eliminating all the loopholes,off shore stash centers,removing the Bush preferential tax codes and stopping the bribery of congress.

Then I suggest returning to a rate of 41.5% income tax rate. Whatever that would bring in would be satisfactory with me. Reduce the middle class rate to 25% to make up for all those years that the upper income levels have been receiving preferential treatment.

Now I understand this thinking brings on hostile almost threatening responses.... so be it.

Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy are bankrupt because they bought US real estate?
Not because they over spent?
You have any evidence?
Or are you talking out of your ass again?

Not threatening, but how about that bottom 50% that pays nothing? Shouldn't we also go back to raising their tax rate to prior years level so they feel they are putting into America, also?
But it does seem like you want to punish and reward Americans, is that the American way with socialists these days?

Make no mistake..

Out of his ass.

It is something I read about as recent as Saturday January 12,2012.

When the loans went sour so did the investments that many governments invested in. These risky loan bundles must have been shipped out in 18 wheelers about 2 every 30 seconds.

Selling of real estate bundles such as this will likely not happen again = left a sour taste.

The Bush familiy of politicians will need to come up with a new scheme for their next escapade during a repub in the white house. I have every reason to believe their criminal capabilities are endless.

It is the Bush thinkers that bring on the need for many many safety nets for USA workers
of which I fully support. Every family should have a roof over their heads,utilities paid and food on the table....absolutely!

Hey Merrill, who had control of the Senate and Congress? Your bullshit rhetoric is just that, bullshit.

Still a hard-on for Bush...Son? Get over it. he's gone and has been for 3 years.

Obama is doing what Bush did and triplling down on it...

Wake up.

Those governments had so much extra money that they were investing it? LOL!
I guess they haven't been running huge deficits for decades? You're funny.
And stupid.

Who should we emulate? Be more specific.

Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy

Aren't some of those places bankrupt?

Yes they are, but they they have the kind of governments the steelplate wants the USA to emulate.

Nope. They are bankrupt because, like U.S. Democrats, they think cutting any spending whatsoever is "extreme."

Democrats destroyed the economy.

End of story, dipstick.

The middle class already pays 25%, numb nuts. How is 35% "preferential" in comparison with 25%?

You really are a king-sized numbskull. None of the governments mentioned have ever "invested" in anything. They borrow and spend. They don't invest.

Notice how everyone on the left goes so quiet when I bring up the big equalizer?

Goods and services tax. or VAT like others like to call it.

Pay equally across the board. You know kids, share all the wealth.

You bettcha. There is one thing as I am standing there at a cash register. I pay mine. When I'm paying for my bobber magic with a whoo hoo tax I know that some rich bastard is getting his flies and paying his tax big time for his effort as well.

There is a great equalizing momemt knowing we are both screwed.
