Actually, no Obama didn’t. He said that we’d normalize relations at some point in the future and only allowed travel by certain people, those who had relatives there and were from there. He also did not end the embargo.

Federal income taxes have a specific purpose, to fund our federal government. When we allow nearly half the wage earners to pay zero percent or less in federal income tax where is their “fair” share?

I did not say that I wanted a flat tax. Maybe you need to work on your reading skills. I do however want a tax where everyone pays something. No one should pay zero percent or less in federal income taxes.

A wealth tax sounds great…. So someone has a house that is worth a million dollars. You hit them for 10% wealth tax and they are going to need to come up with $100,000 to pay that tax. Then the next year you hit them with a 10% wealth tax…. And the next year, and the next year…. How long until...

Sorry, but over 40% of our wage earners pay zero percent or less in federal income tax. See you pay income tax on AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) which is after all those deductions for you, your spouse, those kids you can’t afford, etc. In other words, you can make $40k or $50k and still pay no...

We do not have a wealth tax in this country, we have an income tax. Besides if the tax started out only on billionaires, it would move to millionaires, then move to everyone. Are you willing to give up 5% of the equity in your home? 5% of your 401k? 5% of your savings?

The problem is that the very wealthy do not need to take an income. Someone like Elon Musk could just forego an income, then you get nothing in federal income tax. He doesn’t need the money.

The point, which you admit you missed is that a good percentage of our population isn’t paying federal income taxes. You say it is because they don’t have much income… Why shouldn’t we have a minimum of 3% paid in federal income tax? As for the fair tax causing poor people to pay the same as...

Really? Between 1992 and 1995 the Christian Bosnian Serbs were working to exterminate the Bosniaks. I believe they killed over 8,000 men and boys. So it hasn’t been all that long.

What country are you calling an Islmao-shithole? I didn’t say that any country was the better than the United States. I’m a proud American. What I’ve said is that if you have visited some of these countries they certainly have their good points. Imagine being able to walk through a city like...

I’m sorry that you are unable to read and comprehend. You should work on that. I said NEARLY HALF. Are you too stupid to be able to read what I typed or are you just looking for a reason to try and pretend that more people pay federal income tax. The point that you keep missing is that a lot...

I got news for you, Christianity is one of the most violent religions in history. They’ve killed many in the name of religion. And I don’t care if you are black, I call it like I see it, your post was a clear example of bigotry. Is every Muslim killing non-Muslims?

We didn’t have a federal income tax when Thomas Jefferson or James Madison were alive.

Yes. Yes, I do. Are you disputing that nearly half of the households in this country pay zero percent or less in federal income tax? I even got you one from CNBC known for their liberal viewpoints. Want more...

There is a pretty bigoted statement. Wow! Talk about going all out on it. Have you ever visited an Islamic country? Do you know any Muslims?
