Dem Rep. Quigley on Taxes: ‘If You Love This Country, One of the Things You Do Is Pay Your Fair Share’

[progressive hunter]

If they gave me a choice of either having to pay the taxes of Warren Buffet or his secretary, the only smart choice would be to pay the taxes of his secretary. Only an idiot would want to pay Warren Buffet's taxes.

his taxs are probably in the high millions,,

They do, and there's a legal process that tries to address that. It's not perfect. But I'm sorry, we can build a 30-foot wall and they'll still find ways to get here. Many "illegals" enter legally and overstay.

I don't disagree with you that undocumented migration is an issue that needs to be dealt with, but it's more complicated than just building a wall and chasing them all down. More and more migrants will cross the border because they're leaving failed states, and they're also trying to escape climate disaster.

There is only one reason they want to come here and that is we built a superior country. It has nothing to do with climate disaster and it's the people that are the reason those failed states failed.

When Trump was running the show people did stop coming because there was virtually no way to get in. If you applied for asylum, you had to wait in Mexico until your court date. Then we'd let them in, drive them to court, and when the court declined their application, back over the border they went.

Dementia reversed all of Trump's successful border policies and that's why we have the problem we have today. We've had a record amount of border encounters because under Dementia, they just turn them loose, or put them on a bus and ship them to some blue state to deal with their problems.

yeh, I used to always have to remind the uneducated leftists (redundancy) about this

Needless to say, they were rarely impressed w/ that argument... and argued it away (or thought they did). I don't remember their arguments...

which proves they were useless.

u know, now that i think of it.. they probably want to increase the min wage in all states for one reason:

so the damn govt can get even more taxes from the workers.. So much that they may have been better off b4 the supposedly-more-fair wage hike... (or if not, it will come to that some day)

Yeah, a lot of their argument is that when businesses pay their workers more then the government not only collects more in taxes but then social welfare programs will be decreased. And yet, the social welfare programs don't seem to ever be decreased and actually increase.

4 sure..

there's no such thing as a temporary govt program

If Trump gets elected, that could change...?

I suggest you stop playing stupid and learn how to manipulate tax law, with or without commas.

Your suggestions are about as valuable as a three dollar bill, Goonblow.

 

[Orangecat]

Yet, the names of the nations that do not tax lose themselves from yer tongue.

I never made any claims to the contrary, kid. Pay better attention.

 

[Orangecat]

Think about it.

I have, and the conclusion is you're a fool.

 

[Moonglow]

I have, and the conclusion is you're a fool.

This thread is not about me sorry to terminate yer infatuation.

My "fair share" of your welfare check is zero.

Did you know 70% of adults who qualify for Medicaid and food stamps have full time jobs? Perhaps it's time you put away your uninformed, prejudiced ideas about welfare recipients and learn something about them.

 

[Moonglow]

Your suggestions are about as valuable as a three dollar bill, Goonblow.

Bothers me not that you don't know how to use the tax code to your advantage.

Coherent English, please.

 

[Flash]

And you use Medicare......Now...... Correct?

Why do you lump all (D) into that category?
I went out and earned my way, started working at 12.
I paid my own way through College by continuing to work.

Now, discuss your use of Medicare.

You are a moron thinking that paying taxes is a patriotic thing.

Not when this filthy government is a big bloated out of control welfare state $30 trillion in debt.

This enormous debt ridden government is destroying our country and it is patriotic to oppose it.

 

[Moonglow]

4 sure..

If Trump gets elected, that could change...?

Even Trump had govt. programs.

 

[Orangecat]

Bothers me not that you don't know how to use the tax code to your advantage.

You are clueless about many things, including my knowledge of the tax code.

 

[Moonglow]

Coherent English, please.

Yes it is.

 

[Moonglow]

You are clueless about many things, including my knowledge of the tax code.

Then why are you complaining about it?

 

[Orangecat]

Yes it is.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Good god, troll-boy, pay a-f'n-ttention.

Fair share is an arbitrary and emotive label and perfect for lib loons to employ
