working class is already paying a fairly high tax bill through payroll and state and local taxes.
Refresh our memory why people in blue states and cities pay a higher taxes in state and local?
Uhm could it be, just possibly they vote against their wallets by voting democrat dupe?
.
They like good services and don't like mooching off the federal gov't and other states?
IRRELEVANT to this argument, which is that the GOP has cut taxes mainly on the rich the last 35 years, due to less fed aid the states have raised THEIR taxes- which kill the NONRICH- YOU DUPES, and now we basically have a flat tax system that is pander to the rich GOP idiocy. And you are duped by GOP bs propaganda into thinking the rich pay a lot %wise. Get it, ferchrissake?
They cut taxes, it mainly effects the rich the most, since the rich pay the most in our progressive income tax system. What flat tax says, is that rich don't have less rights than everyone else. The only ones who don't pay the flat tax is those who make 50,000 or less. You get taxed on everything you make past you're first 50,000. It's even and fair for the rich, the poor, and those in between. The rights goal is not tax cuts for the rich. That's a petty false strawman. Sure there are plenty of republican politicians working for the rich donors. There's plenty of Dems (even though they say they aren't) that are also fighting for their rich donors (at least just as much if not more). It's all a play for power that involves pitting both sides against each other while you rob them blind. And both sides are getting duped
No, dumbass, the rich used to pay MORE %WISE, up to 90% on over a million in today's dollars. Today their top rate is 40% and their are PLENTY of GOP loopholes so they pay the same %WISE as the middle class and we have no money for infrastructure and education. The Dems want the opposite, and you are a brainwashed functional MORON. WAKE UP!!!
And if it was GOP loopholes that were helping the rich, then why didn't Obama with control of the legislative branch get rid of these loopholes? The Dems have had plenty of opportunities to do away with them, but they always rush to blame the GOP for their inability to" fix" with control of legislative and executive branches. Again you're naive if you think the Dems are above lining their pockets.

The government has spent 16 trillion alone on the war on poverty, and the only results is a bigger wage gap, more dependent on government, and more poor that stay poor. Before you blame this solely on the GOP, remember, a lot of this happened under Obamas watch.
