50% Of Americans Are Parasites AND They VOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The proposed tax increases that the White House and Congress are proposing will probably pass. According to the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation, during 2006, roughly 43.4 million tax returns, representing 91 million individuals, had no federal tax liability. That's out of a total of 136 million federal tax returns. Adding to this figure are 15 million households and individuals who file no tax return at all. Roughly 121 million Americans -- or 41 percent of the U.S. population -- are completely outside the federal income tax system. These people represent a natural constituency for big-spending politicians. Since they have no federal income tax obligation, what do they care about higher taxes or tax cuts?"

The Poll Tax must be restored or this nation is going down as a lead balloon.In essence the voting booth is DIRECTLY connected to our ATM's'.

There's no link to any "tax foundation" there's a link to Walter Wiliams' OPINION.... and what he asserts the "tax foundation" (whoever the heck they are) says.

his home page is interesting... all global warming denial and BS about "socialism".... and touting Milton Friedman's laissez fair economics (bogus even when Adam Smith advocated it).

So how 'bout honesty about the source, eh?

love the poll tax stuff... it definitely works to exclude African-Americans...or at least it used to.

so figures....

 

[Care4all]

higher taxes could bring them in to the income tax system...so they do have something at stake...in addition to this all of these people are paying SS taxes and medicare taxes. Their SS tax surplus has been USED by these politicians to PAY for what those higher taxed wealthy federal income tax payers, should have paid for...so the wealthiest have stolen from the poorest.

everyone has reason to watch who they vote for...and many, do not understand this importance of being an educated and informed citizen, no matter your class or net financial worth.

Walter Williams OPINION is solid rock reliable... Aside from his Ph.D in economics... he is a man of impecable reason.

It's worth noting that the above noted imbecile had only gone so far as to attack his name; and demonstrates her inability to address his argument, through her intentional avoidance of that argument.

But hey... it does prove, in large measure, Williams' case... This idiot has no BUSINESS being allowed within 10 MILES of a voting booth.

The way it was originally set up -at the federal level anyways- was that only landowners got to vote for federal office holders and the Senate was made up of appointees of the state legislatures.

If you wanted a say in the political world, you had to have some -dare I say- "skin in the game".

Since the overturning of that provision and the 17th Amendment, the federal gubmint has pretty much operated as tripartite mob rule.

Care, what in the hell are you talking about?

What is it exactly that the wealthy are to have stolen from the poor? BE SPECIFIC...

no...he's someone you agree with who's telling you what you want to hear.

As opposed to the above-referenced proven nutbar who thinks anyone who disagrees with him isn't American?

I would have been pleased to address the "tax foundaton" and it's purported 'study" if I knew what it was. But the post was misleading and didn't link to it.

But I think I'll pass on your laissez faire capitalist BS. I don't care for Dickensian nightmares.

But hey... it does prove, in large measure, Williams' case... This idiot has no BUSINESS being allowed within 10 MILES of a voting booth.

You're a hoot and a hollar...insane...but a hoot and a hollar nonetheless. Perhaps Moscow would be a better place for you. The politburo never liked dissent either. Maybe you and Putin can resurrect the good ole USSR. dasvidanya, comrade.

Interesting statistics...lets have a look

The proposed tax increases that the White House and Congress are proposing will probably pass. According to the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation, during 2006, roughly 43.4 million tax returns, representing 91 million individuals, had no federal tax liability.

How does one have no federal tax liability? Does it mean that you are under the threshold for paying federal taxes? It can also mean that your deductions bring you below the federal threshold. Many wealthy people hide their money in investments that are tax free, or wrap them into a business expense and claim a business loss. These are included in your 43 million


Adding to this figure are 15 million households and individuals who file no tax return at all. Roughly 121 million Americans -- or 41 percent of the U.S. population -- are completely outside the federal income tax system.

121 million Americans? What deadbeats
How many Americans are under the age of 21? 88 million Americans are under 21

The issue:

These people represent a natural constituency for big-spending politicians. Since they have no federal income tax obligation, what do they care about higher taxes or tax cuts?"

You can put it in big bold letters and 24 font...

your assertion is only that...an assertion...without a single bit of evidence in support of it.

Are you implying that the people you mentioned above did not vote in 2004, 2000, 1988, 1984, or 1980?

That sir is a sad and dangerous fact.

Since the overturning of that provision and the 17th Amendment, the federal gubmint has pretty much operated as tripartite mob rule.

The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.

This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.

I never met anyone who in this day and age questions the right of "We the People" to directly elect our Senators. The idea that someone actually prefers having state legislatures select who serves as Senator is archaic

 

[Oddball]

It's painfully obvious you have no clue as to how the republic was meant to work.

"We the People" were to elect state representatives, who in turn selected Senators and had those appointees seated by the Governors.

This was to be a check against the federal taxing power, as all taxes -prior to the 16th Amendment- were apportioned to the states for collection.

Since the passage of the 17th Amendment, no state has had any say in federal spending, and the Senate has been a defacto second branch of the HoR.

So at which point does the residents of a state directly electing their Senators throw you into a tizzy?

The Amendment was ratified by the requisite number of states and is now the law of the land. You, as a citizen are welcome to change it back....good luck
