Democrats want to cut taxes on the non-rich...

No Democrats has cut income tax for anyone since JFK.
if you weren't a barely-functional hyper-partisan bigot, you'd know this.

I know Carter wanted to but Kennedy and others wanted social programs they've been waiting for for 8 years and screwed it all up really.... And since then we have a flat tax system. Horrible for the Non Rich, super duper.

Reading through the resolution sounds exactly like a manifest from Soviet Russia....!

These people are Soviets basically. Every propagandist complaint the Soviets had about the US you can find coming out of their mouths now.

I've watched it twice, it's the usual b******* propaganda spewed by an idiot.

You're the idiot if you support Beto on guns.

I am in favor of background checks like about 90% of Americans....

The fact we already have background checks aside...
Tell us:
If 90% of Americans opposed background checks, would you still be for them?

18 million military style semi automatics is enough thanks...

Says a barely-functional hyper-partisan bigot,

Last time I saw 90% what background checks on all sales without the loopholes we have now obviously.

The barely-functional hyper-partisan bigot thinks there are loopholes in the federals laws that require background checks on gun purchases

Now, answer the question, bigot:
If 90% of Americans opposed background checks, would you still be for them?

of course the last 32 years the tax rate on the wealthy has been a joke....

As you know, no Democrat has cut income tax for anyone since JFK -- how can you - without lying - claim the Democrats want to cut taxes on the non-rich?
Not that a a barely-functional hyper-partisan bigot such as yourself cares about lying to make a point.

 

[M14 Shooter]

what you dupes don't know is that if you count all taxes we have a flat tax system. There is not enough money to invest the problem is youor college training costs, so the rich get incredibly rich and everyone else goes to hell. Google the only tax graph you need to know, Google fact left the demise of the middle class. all statistics from the IRS that show what a scam the GOP has been running the last 35 years. Only absolute garbage propaganda makes it possible....

You are correct, and if the democrats would be honest, they know that the mules in their stable would prevent
the middle class from becoming wealthy, the poor becoming the middle class. All because of the taxes they impose that will
become their burden

Democrats want to cut taxes on the non-rich and raise them on the rich and giant corporations. End of story, you are a brainwashed functional moron. The GOP has been screwing the non Rich for 35 years now. Google the only tax graph you need to know, and Google fact left the demise of the middle class and get a clue dipstick.

Lol!!!!!!!! They say they want to tax the rich and lower the taxes on middle to lower class....and you believe them. You are incredibly stupid, or naive,
I'm betting on stupid. They can't tax the rich and corporations enough for their pie in the sky agenda....and there is no tooth fairy, or money trees, Francis.

It's funny how every other modern country has all these benefits while we the richest country in the world can't afford anything, right dingbat?

That isn't an answer, Francis. How many of those countries tax the middle class (VAT, Fuel Taxes, etc) Don't be stupid

We are the only country in history to have a flat tax system and it shows. For 35 years now only half the amount spent on infrastructure etc etc etc. I'm not saying we have to become Sweden LOL.

How much in taxes should one pay?

See if this helps:

How much in taxes?

Who is to decide what is fair, and what is too much? Some religions suggest tithing, and government demands taxes.

Joseph gathered very much grain: It seems it was customary for Pharaoh to take 10% of the grain in Egypt as a tax. Essentially, Joseph doubled the taxes over the next seven years (Genesis 41:34 mentions one-fifth, that is, 20%).

That 20% figure appears again in the relationship of colonists to North America, and the English crown "....colonists were free to retain all the profits and fruits of their labor save for the crown's 20 percent share of any gold and silver discovered."

"Top 3% of U.S. Taxpayers Paid Majority of Income Taxes in 2016

(Bloomberg) -- Individual income taxes are the federal government’s single biggest revenue source. In fiscal year 2018, which ended Sept. 30, the individual income tax is expected to bring in roughly $1.7 trillion, or about half of all federal revenues, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

If past statistics can offer any guidance, in 2016, $1.44 trillion income taxes were paid by 140.9 million taxpayers reporting a total of $10.2 trillion in adjusted gross income, according to data recently released by the Internal Revenue Services.

Bloomberg looked into the 2016 individual returns data in detail for some additional insights illustrated in the charts below:

· The top 1 percent paid a greater share of individual income taxes (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent).

· The top 50 percent of all taxpayers paid 97 percent of total individual income taxes.

· In other words, the bottom 50 percent paid 3 percent. Which small percentile of tax payers also paid 3 percent or more? You might have guessed it. It is the top 0.001%, or about 1,400 taxpayers. That group alone paid 3.25 percent of all income taxes. In 2001, the bottom 50 percent paid nearly 5 percent whereas the top 0.001 percent of filers paid 2.3 percent of income taxes."

1. If the Leftist is interested in a more ‘fair’ redistribution of wealth, let him vote for lower taxes, and then he can distribute his now larger share of his wealth to the lesser compensated folks.
   1. Illustrative of reality is the fact that the Leftist refrains from paying above the stated price for goods and services…he wants, as everyone else does, competition between said services. Only then does he stand a chance of getting a “fair” price. In his own enterprise, he strives to improve quality or lower price…’else his potential customers will take their business to others. Unless he has the power of government!
   2. “Just for fun, find a Marxist professor- who scoffs at the idea that people work less if they lose the incentive of money- how he would feel if his name were not put on the academic articles he published. Instead the articles would be published under the name of another academic who needed the recognition more than he did. After all…he would still have the satisfaction of having written the articles….His completely reasonable response would be that he earned’ the right to have his name on those articles, and denying him that measure of earned success is viciously unfair.

yes you are baffled by b******* about federal income taxes, our only progressive tags, and which is getting to be smaller and smaller as percentage of the overall tax bite.
and that's dear is why we don't have enough money to invest in our infrastructure and people. So we are losing the competition. No matter how many $7 jobs there are....
