"We have to increase taxes on the wealthy"

[g5000]

We hire our politicians to do what we want. To spend money on us and not to charge us for it.

We get the politicians we deserve. They are just doing what we want.

It's time to stop blaming them and look in the mirror for the culprit.

Why do so many people seem to love tax increases on others? Pathetic. The problem is overspending, not under-taxation.

 

[hadit]

Politicians never met a dollar they didn't want to spend. In fact, for every dollar they get, they want to spend two. 36 trillion dollar debt? Never mind, just raise taxes so we can spend more money. To hell with the debt.

That's why just raising taxes on "the rich" won't do diddly squat for the budget. The only thing it would do is make some people feel good that they stuck it to some guy they don't know and never met.

I really have no answers in that regard other than scrapping the reams of tax code and going with a fair/flat tax.

We have plenty of revenue but a totally dysfunctional .gov as far as spending goes.

In other words:

But, but, but, you have to punish successful people, cause you know fairness!

Now we have : crickets: from Nostra too.

I responded to that post, you blithering moron.

Mention flat tax and their little members shrivel

Id love q flat tax. File taxes on a post card.

Then they could FIRE most of the IRS

 

[eagle1462010]

We must CUT SPENDING to 16% of the GDP.

That will allow 1% of the GDP to pay off the debt. Interest payments are now 13% of the budget ane rising.

It is either that or a Global RESET.

The main problems are low tax revenue and the wealth and income gap. Of course.

You're just babbling now. Try breathing into a paper bag for 30 seconds.

That's only a problem for losers and fools.

 

[para bellum]

Corporations are not taxpayers.

They are tax collectors.

 

[Nostra]

They get over $5 trillion in revenue. Thats plenty.

And explain how the income gap runs up debt.

 

[Captain Caveman]

In world wide terms, you are in the top 1% if you earn over $32,000 a year

 

[Captain Caveman]

Caught you. I had to tell you the cuts were temporary for the middle classes.

List all the specific tax cuts

 

[Mashmont]

Not surprised.

. . . . there were, after all, rumors.

Bannon says he’s a Leninist: that could explain the White House’s new tactics | Victor Sebestyen

Trump’s top political adviser says he wants to destroy the state, like the Bolshevik leader, and some of his ideas certainly echo the Russian revolutionary

www.theguardian.com

Did Steve Bannon Describe Himself as a 'Leninist' Who Wants to Destroy the State?

After reports about the quote emerged, President Donald Trump's chief strategist told journalists that he did not recall the conversation.

www.snopes.com

"Bannon allegedly told a NYU academic"

Corroboration of this story: none. Do you guys have any idea what sourcing or journalism is?

It's time to stop blaming them and look in the mirror for the culprit.

Neither end of the spectrum is willing to do that, of course. The rest of the country has to deal with the tug of war.

 

[Mac1958]

I know that a binary approach is nice 'n simple 'n stuff.

But dumbing things down like that, pretending that everything is nice 'n simple, is not an intelligent way to address complicated problems. If you can't even admit that this is a complicated topic in a huge and dynamic country like this, you're delusional.

And yet mac1958 has a simple answer

If we all would just forget our differences and get along what a wonderful country this would be

What could be simpler?
