Why "Soaking the Rich" in taxes does not work - explained with BEER!

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this...

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing
The fifth would pay $1
The sixth would pay $3
The seventh would pay $7
The eighth would pay $12
The ninth would pay $18
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59

:cuckoo:

No one pays 59% tax on income.
Including the tenth man in this example. Where's it say the tenth man's income is $100?

It doesn't, but I realize you are an idiot, too!
 
The right says raising taxes on the rich would cause the economy to stall.

Why then are they so willing to allow the US to default on its debts.

That would end the recovery for sure.

Why was Obama willing to do that when he was a Senator? Could it be that he is lying to us?

I am still waiting for you to show me what I got wrong.

Just because it happens every time it's done is no reason it should happen THIS time too!

What's the definition of insanity again?

The definition of insanity. Complaining about people who don't have insurance while you yourself don't have any insurance.
Non sequiter Mein herr? Not through trying to oppress the poor with your generosity?
