Mug rich people? gimme a fucking break. yeah... those poor, poor rich people... they have damn near nothing, don't they?
Yeah, that's right. Progressive taxation is about mugging people simply because they have money. How can you deny it when leftist say exactly that over and over? What people have is irrelevant to the issue of "fairness."
Guess what? People near the poverty level ARE exempt.... those are those people you guys hate so much... you know... the 34, 47 or 52% of the people that "don't pay taxes"? .
The bottom 50% are well above the poverty level. Exempting a family of four with an income of 30K is one thing. Exempting individual filers who make 60K is another.
It's not the poor people's fault that they USED to be middle class but inflation, outsourcing and the out and out greed from those "poor little rich people" pushed them into poverty levels.
We aren't talking about poor people being exempt. We're talking about people earning well above the poverty line.
Furthermore, it's not the rich person's fault that someone else is poor. So why should they pay?
