Will the US ever again find prosperity?

FactCheck.org: Do 40 percent of Americans pay no taxes?

BTW the number is more like 38%




According to the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, it is true that 38 percent of "tax units" -- which can be singles, couples, or families -- are projected to have zero or negative income tax liability in 2009. About 60 percent of these households make $20,000 per year or less.

However, being exempt from income tax does not mean you're exempt from federal taxes. Everyone who works is liable for payroll taxes, contributions to Medicare and Social Security that come out of every paycheck. There are also excise taxes on some goods and services, most notably the 18.4 cents per gallon tax on gasoline. The Congressional Budget Office found that earners in the lowest quintile, where most of those with no income tax liability fall, shouldered 4.3 percent of the payroll tax burden in 2005 and 11.1 percent of the excise taxes. Their effective tax rate (which is calculated by dividing taxes paid by total income) in those categories, according to the CBO, was in fact significantly higher than the rate of the top quintile, although that top one-fifth of the population had a much higher effective tax rate for individual and corporate income taxes
 
dear idiot , any country that taxes people who are just scraping by will have to start putting people in debtors prison.

Why are you people so very fucking heartless?

Dear bleeding heart moron,

You have no right to the money another person earns.
 
Dear fucking hate filled asswink, You have no right to distroy this country in the name of tax cuts for the very people who orchastrated and benifited from this mess the republicans presided over.

Taxes are part of reality and everyone needs to pay according to how much they benifited from this great country.

Taxes and government are both a necessary evil and should be minimized at every turn so people can keep more of what they earn and thereby live better lives.
 
Will the US ever again find prosperity?

yes.

1. Buy american. That doesn´t mean "American brands" but products from factories in usa.

2. Whatever you buy, demand quality. A house has to be build by bricks, rocks and concrete. Anything else is a hut. Hut´s are for dogs, not for people. In case of an tornado warning, a small castle is better then a big board barrack. And it can´t be eaten by termites. You deserve the best.

3. Whatever you make, create quality. Your product or your service is your message to the world. Don´t accept bad goods leaving your fingers. Whatever you do, do it the best way your´re able to today. And make it better tomorrow.

4. No freedom without responsibility. What you´re doing, you´re responsible for. In small things or in big things. Don´t call a lawyer if you have done something bad. Stand for it like a man. If you live unhealthy, you´ll become ill. It´s your body, your fault and not McDonalds or CocaCola.

5. Accept reality. This is the presence. Nobody knows if it´s the ending time. You are living now and here. Jesus will come when it´s time for it. It´s not up to you, that he´ll come sooner or later. Until them, play with the card´s you´re given.

6. Accept the gift of your intelligence. Your brain distinguishes you from any animal. Use it. Science is a divine service. Thinking is praying. Being logical is thanking god for the present of the mind.

7. Distrust anybody who denies your intelligence. Even if it´s your priest, your govenour or your boss. Your brain is the most complex piece of materia in the whole universe. Use it, don´t let it steal.

8. Hands off drugs in any way. Even alcohol. Use it at least with care.

9. Don´t hide. This is the presence. Things are like they are. Start again and make the best of it.

10. Don´t fear your friends. We love you.

11. There is always a better way then violence. Taking the arm is questioning god.

12. Trust in God. God is with the ones, which help themselves. Do the best you can and let him do the rest.

you´re welcome to pretend this.

Government is not inherently evil.

Taxes are not either.

You have jsut bought a load of shit from the very people who have trained you to vote in their interests instead of your own.


What a silly git you are

Where did i say they are inherently evil?

I said they are necessary evils and as such should be minimized at every turn.

And government should never be trusted neither should politicians.
 

the US as a country/nation will continue to be quite prosperous

however, the average persons prosperity will continue to diminish


the rich will get richer!

the middle class will become poorer

and the poor.....well....you can't get less poor than $0.....


CEO's, bankers, top tier lawyers, athletes, actors, etc.....will all continue to get richer and richer as America becomes ever more the playground for the world....(baseball, football, basketball, golf, gambling, movies, entertainment....)

everyone else will be lucky just to get jobs serving the worlds wealthy...
