From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.The only solution is to ask each man to give as he is able- to ask all members of society to contribute as they are able to ensure society as a whole can continue to thrive.
Great idea, uncle Karl.
It was actually Thomas Jefferson's idea
"The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied. ... Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings." --Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811.

Jefferson on Politics & Government: Taxation
I submit that sales ( buyer's) tax is NOT regressive.
Those who earn less, spend less. Therefore those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder pay LESS in sales tax. So actually those who earn more and spend more pay a proportionate share of sales taxes.

Jefferson on Politics & Government: Taxation
Hey, I'm all about it! Let's go back to Jefferson era taxation. No income tax and very few taxes generally. Jefferson is rolling over!

But there were taxes on imports. How would you like to pay a 25% tariff on every imported good you buy, starting with oil and plastics?
EVERYTHING I earn belongs to me. What a stupid question. Taxes are just legalized theft, which GASP still makes it theft!

You haven't even gotten out Class A ball puppy.THAT is your response? After all of your blather about who owns what ,how the government is basically the "company store" you come up with "you are tarded"?..you are tarded.
Most of us know that bringing a gun to a gunfight in lieu of a lesser weapon increases one's chances of success, tenfold..Guess you missed that meeting.
Now you can go pick on someone your own size and scream at them how you "schooled" them.
This is the major leagues ,pal. You're outclassed at this level.
yup, that is my response and it is more than you deserve. Somebody wastes their time trying to teach you a few simple facts about reality and you are not only so stupid that you can't listen, but you bite the hand that educates you.
There is an old maxim about arguing with ignoramammals like you:
Don't argue with a fool, other people may not be able to tell the difference.
You haven't even gotten out Class A ball puppy.
You are a rank amateur.
Who the fuck are you to be so presumptuous as think you can teach anyone a God Damned thing.
You have a room temperature IQ.
heads out of asses, folks. tariffs are not good public finance policy, particularly for an economy like ours, if they ever were.
You're obviously slow... I already stated I didn't want the excessive spending that happened in the past... Maybe if you ask an adult to help you with the big words you can figure out what I actually posted and not what you think I posted...this is just a demo that behind your rhetoric, you are a partisan hack without real interest in balanced budgets. i agree we could do with plenty more balance in government, but the complexion of politics at the moment is the result of a backlash against disingenuous 'conservatives' like yourself looking to spend future money rather than continue budget responsibility.
The more you post, the less sense you make... You sound like a child who thinks he has it all figure out, but the blinders he wears keep him from seeing the truth...
The upcoming backlash is against the failed policies of an entirely democrat controlled government... The backlash is against 0bamacare and bailouts and democratics who promised change, but only made things worse....
At some point you're going to have to wake up and face reality...
ETA: I want less spending, both now and in the future, dumbass....
now and in the future, but not in the past.
What a stupid inference... I'm not surprised, based upon reading your posts, though...you are a johnny-come-lately tax-cut-conservative hypocrite evidenced by your partisan disposition to clinton's budgets.
Again, I must gather that you are slow and unable to read what I actually wrote... Let me know if you need a refresher and I'll think about repeating myself...you've already stated you think he's a joke, and in the context of fiscal responsibility, then contended that you want to keep more of your money like a bushite tax-cut leech on the future.
faced with the devastation these policies afforded our economy, you lined up with partisan ranks with empty resolve to spend less. this didn't pan out when your heroes had control and were met with no opposition to the scale we see today. it is a political cycle.
i'm not blind to the coincidence of fake political angst any given autumn. two years ago it went the other way. as an entrenched partisan, you are a hypocrite for participating in the farce of it all.
heads out of asses, folks. tariffs are not good public finance policy, particularly for an economy like ours, if they ever were.
no, no, the question was what is worse, paying tariffs on foreign goods or paying 0% federal tax and FICA, along with state unemployment taxes.
its settled i guess, house. i think you're a tax-cut-con half-wit partisan hack hypocrite (and a pussy for the neg-rep i could give a shit about) and you think i'm a democrat. ...and you don't think i can read. i could really care less if you're my fairy godmother or the tweeker trying to wash my windows for smack yesterday, so i'd leave it at that.
Since you think your money is not your's pay my share.
Stop being a retard. Stop! Now!
Do you pay your taxes?
If things keep going as is I will stop I will quit my job and work for myself for cash. Hell I have done side jobs for AMMO before.
