That's not enough, pay more dammit!Hey lib's.....since you are all so good at claiming that those who are successful in life don't pay enough back to the government, how about you put your money where your big mouths are, and stamp "return to sender" on that tax tax return check next year.........Lets just see how many of you are willing to walk the walk, after using your big mouths to talk the talk.
Or should I say, how about you who ACTUALLY work, stamp that envelope.
I pay over $20,000 in federal taxes per year, excluding fica and medicare. I don't get a tax refund check, I pay at the end of the year.
If the lib's want me to pay more money, then you damn sure should pay more than your paltry 20 grand........Otherwise, i'm gonna sick the entitlement sucking lib's on ya'!

I live in between Sun City and a Leisure World here in Arizona. I'm paying for the Medicare and Social Security of a lot of old conservatives and I don't have one problem with it.

Too fuckin' cool, and most of 'em are probably WHITE........Cool, nice to see a racist black bastard paying for da' evuls whites peebles.
Good for you!I live in between Sun City and a Leisure World here in Arizona. I'm paying for the Medicare and Social Security of a lot of old conservatives and I don't have one problem with it.

Old people of all races earned the right of my tax dollars helping them.
Every article I've ever read from American thinker has merely reinforced that its just another extremist right-wing web site. For example
Barack Obama, the Left and the Democrats are determined to continue their never-ending and over-used drum beat of "raise taxes on the rich." While of little practical value in solving the nation's overwhelming debt and deficit problem, this siren song aims to foster class envy, intimidate opponents and foment potential violence.
Even if the article has substance, its difficult not to dismiss it as nothing but hyperpartisan bullshit when you read stuff like this.
Good for you!

And they will continue to get paid, unless we fail to prohibit the lib's from coming up with even more entitlement sucking programs.........And of course, fail to reform SS and MC.
I haven't lost my job, hell I turn down job offers, and I haven't been evicted from my house. This has been a great time to buy rental property. This has been a very fruitful 6 years, I hope for 6 more just like them.
Yaaaaa, "affirmative action" babies will do alright - until the country tires of your free ride....
That's your excuse for your failings? Well, whatever gets you through the day.
They've gone to this card awfully early this campaign. It's because everyone's wise to the Race Card and Age Card too early this campaign. We're all just waiting for it.By Steve McCann

While of little practical value in solving the nation's overwhelming debt and deficit problem, this siren song aims to foster class envy, intimidate opponents and foment potential violence. It is the action of a desperate administration and party attempting to obfuscate their abject failure in growing the economy and creating jobs.

All you hear them talking about is raising the taxes on the rich... Same old song and dance. How about that nearly 50% of folks who pay no federal taxes at all? They should have some skin in the game.

The term sales tax actually refers to several tax acts. Sales tax is a combination of occupation taxes that are imposed on sellers receipts and use taxes that are imposed on amounts paid by purchasers. Sellers owe the occupation tax to the department; they reimburse themselves for this liability by collecting use tax from the buyers. Sales tax is the combination of all state, local, mass transit, water commission, home rule occupation and use, non-home rule occupation and use, park district, county public safety and facilities, county school facility tax, and business district taxes.
Sales tax is imposed on a sellers receipts from sales of tangible personal property for use or consumption. Tangible personal property does not include real estate, stocks, bonds, or other paper assets representing an interest.
If the seller (typically an out-of-state business, such as a catalog company or a retailer making sales on the internet) does not charge Illinois Sales Tax, the purchaser must pay the tax directly to the department. For purposes of this document, Illinois Sales Tax has three rate structures one for qualifying food, drugs, and medical appliances; one for items required to be titled or registered; and another for all other general merchandise.
Qualifying food, drugs, and medical appliances include
* food that has not been prepared for immediate consumption, such as most food sold at grocery stores, excluding hot foods, alcoholic beverages, candy, and soft drinks;
* prescription medicines and nonprescription items claimed to have medicinal value, such as aspirin, cough medicine, and medicated hand lotion, excluding grooming and hygiene products; and
* prescription and nonprescription medical appliances that directly replace a malfunctioning part of the human body, such as corrective eyewear, contact lenses, prostheses, insulin syringes, and dentures.
Vehicles include motor vehicles, ATVs, watercraft, aircraft, trailers, and mobile homes. See the STS‑76, Illinois Aircraft/Watercraft and Vehicle Tax Information Guide, for complete definitions and tax applications.
General merchandise includes sales of most tangible personal property including sales of
* soft drinks and candy;
* prepared food such as food purchased at a restaurant;
* photo processing (getting pictures developed);
* prewritten and canned computer software;
* prepaid telephone calling cards and other prepaid telephone calling arrangements;
* repair parts and other items transferred or sold in conjunction with providing a service under certain circumstances based on the actual selling price;
* grooming and hygiene products;
* See Regulation 130.310 for a full listing.
The usual all-purpose leftwing race card has little traction when people have lost their jobs and been evicted form their houses. Enter the class envy card. Anything that can cause division and inter-group hatred which can be exploited for political purposes is the stock in trade of the leftwing.
Like the Right blaming the CRA for the Financial Crisis.
Whaaaaaaatttttt????? That has NOTHING to do with what I said, but thanks for the non-sequitur.

Let's presume you are correct in the analysis of the site, not just one article. Ok? Isn't it incumbent upon all of us, informed public, to sift out the substance as we see it, ignoring the chaff? I do so daily with NYT, WaPo, Rolling Stone, etc. While I don't say you are extreme left, your tendencies are towards middle/leans left. I'd say for myself, Leans Right/Libertarian.

In the UK, when the new coalition government was proposing budget cuts, far left-wing commentators were saying that the budget cuts would be responsible for riots and violence one day. Now, do you think that was an accurate prediction or incitement and demagoguery? When you play on people's most basic fears, you foster division, resentment and hatred towards other groups, which is exactly what this site is doing by equating opposition to raising taxes on the rich as fomenting violence.
Your point is well taken. I spend little time criticizing the likes of Fox News or the Huffington Post because even though they are biased, it doesn't mean they are wrong. But sites like American "Thinker" or far left-wing sites such as globalreasearch have such obvious agendas, it's difficult to take them seriously, even when they are correct, since they will use almost any means necessary to advance that agenda, including grossly distorting the truth and facts to fit their worldview. You cannot take highly ideological sites even remotely at face value.
And since you brought up the issue, don't confuse my criticism of the Right as agreeing with the Left.
Really, if that were the case, I wouldn't ask your opinion. That doesn't mean you are without bias, but at least it's discernible.

We all have biases. But my bias isn't on the Left. It's criticizing the Right, at least on USMB. There's a difference.
