You show me where the laws have been broken, if you can.
Banana Republic, really?
You are avoiding who is paying the lions share taxes in America. You are also avoiding the question on just how much the wealthy should be paying. Seems you don't want your true beliefs known, and that is problematic with me.
Well, there's a lot of shit that's problematic with me(like the above)... IMO, if big corps and their upper crust aristocracy refuse to bring America back to it's former glory where anyone with a strong back, half a brain and a willingness to work hard can do pretty well for themselves(pay off a house in a decade, have a new car every couple years, take the kids on vacation, etc...in addition to paying the bills)... then I guess I feel they should be held accountable for it... through taxation? Sure, why not?
Reaganomics has virtually destroyed this country of PEOPLE. Unless they're forced to "trickle down", they aren't going to.. no matter how low those "hated" taxes are.
You do realize.... "back to its former glory" is where everyone worked hard and safaried for their children. Mom did washing and babysitting and dad worked 3 jobs. They had one car, one phone and one television with local stations.
The "former glory" was were you were proud of what you worked and slaved for and proud that your kids did well and got good grades in school, and then they worked nights to put themselves through college.
The "the former glory" is where there were no social programs to pay for a cell phone, house, flat panel TV, medical care and food.
The "former glory" was where you accepted personal responsibility for your life and how you lived.
Dad worked three jobs? Wow... so your dad worked 24 hours a day? Gimme a fuckin' break. My dad was a Steelworker. My mom was a nurse and worked because she wanted to, not because she had to. You're full of shit as far as that goes. They paid their house of in 10 years, they had a brand new car every other year, they took us kids on very nice vacations, and we didn't really want for much of anything.
as far as your Social Programs? Blame the people who run the show.... Big money. If they were to pay wages that people can live on, there wouldn't be a need for social programs, except for people who literally can't work... the Insane, the developmentally disabled, the extremely physically handicapped.
