Only the Right has a problem with being taxed what they are allegedly worth under our form of Capitalism.

The loseriterian movement stands for one things....An America of a small group of super rich men that don't pay a cent and a whole lot of poor people.
This America allows corporations to do anything they please and this is why they hate regulations.
The government regulates for a good reason.

Why not lower our tax burden by simplifying unemployment compensation through a general tax on firms.
Of course it does. The working man or woman doesn't pay anywhere near what the wealthy and corporations pay in taxes.
The only people who don't pay taxes of any kind are the freeloaders and we have a boatload of those in America.

You got that right. It's sad that the only jobs the right wing base aspires to are minimum wage jobs without benefits needing no education.

Do any of the top 10% pay 30%? Seriously? Come on, you know better than that. The one tax record Romney released showed him paying less than 14% on 22 million of income. And he only released that one because he felt it necessary to release one. And it looked like he loaded up on that year. I bet besides that one year, he never paid more than 5%.
You know that to be true. Come on. Admit it.

What the **** you talking about? Firms already pay into the unemployment, the employee don't contribute a dime.
The Clinton Charity Case - WSJ
The first couple of American liberalism reported income of $139 million in their hardship years from 2007-2014. That’s a tad more than most of the “everyday Americans” whom Mrs. Clinton claims to speak for, which may explain why an accompanying press release stressed that she and Bill had given $14,959,450 to charity.
That’s wonderful, save for the small detail that her charity of choice was her own family. The couple donated all but $200,000 of their gifts since 2007 to the Clinton Family Foundation, which isn’t exactly the Little Sisters of the Poor.
While the foundation does contribute to charitable causes, it also doubles as a vehicle to promote the first family’s political ambitions and public profile. It spends an outsized portion of its money, for instance, picking up the travel and other expenses for the whole family.
The foundation has also functioned between campaigns and stints in public office as a jobs program and financier for various Clinton operatives. Sidney Blumenthal, who was banned by the White House from a job at the State Department, was paid by the foundation while he was dispensing bad advice on Libya to Mrs. Clinton. Foreign governments, unions, wealthy Democrats and corporations donated to the foundation knowing its political importance to the woman who could be the next U.S. President.

That would be $ 3,080,000.
One with $ 50,000 would be $ 7,000
Hmmm… ******* Romney did not pay his "fair share"
He must be a free loading Lib, since he apparently never had a job. Everybody who has received a real paycheck knows that!!!!!

Just wanted to correct statement, one of the dumbest Liberal propaganda pieces I have thrown out so far in this thread: "..Stimulus worked - ran out..."
The 'Stimulus' Bill, Obama's 1st real piece of legislation to address the economy' (Yeah, and if you like your plan you can keep your plan, too) was a disaster. It was hailed as a 'Jobs' bill but failed disasterously, unlesws you call spending over $774,000 PER job 'saved'/'created' a 'success.
- This failed bill cost nearly $1 TRILLION dollars ( - $875 BILLION - added to the debt in 1 shot ... that's 25% of the total entire Bush deficit over his 8 year period)
- It contained over 7,000 (SEVEN THOUSAND) pieces of Democratic Party-ONLY earmarks (totally destroying Obama's promise NOT to allow any earmarks in the laws he signed)
- Obama bragged about 'shovel-rerady' projects...and was forced to admit to the American people he had no idea there was NO SUCH THING.
- He 'NATIONALIZED' GM, violating Bankruptcy laws in the process, took over the US car company, gave half ownership to the Unions, sold part of GM - an American-owned car company - to a foreign car industry that was having worse financial troubles than GM was, eventually sold MOST of GM's stock off at a LOSS of tax dollars, and still holds some of GM's stock.
- His used-car provision/gimmick was a failure
- And, AGAIN, the final tally was that Obama's massive debt-adding socialist spending spree resulted in a reported $774,000+ PER JOB 'victory'
*** Many of those jobs reported as 'saved'/'created' were proven to be pure BOGUS - one company explained that the Obama administration claimed to have saved more jobs at their industry than there were people who actually worked there. Another company said Obama claimed he saved jobs at their business when NO ONE was ever in jeopardy of losing their jobs.
Many Liberals will say 'economists' (Liberals) claim it did not work because Obama did not spend ENOUGH money (Yeah, we should have passed 20,000 earmarks and paid $1Million PER JOB 'created' / 'saved'...), but other economists blame the massive spending at that time as one reason the economy did not bounce back faster.

1. Obama's economic advisers promised the stimulus would keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent. In 2012, the unemployment rate was supposed to fall below 6 percent. The prediction was not meant to be taken lightly. In a January 2009 radio address, Obama announced he was releasing a report based on "rigorous analysis" that charted unemployment through 2013 so "the American people can see exactly what this plan will mean for their families."
Today, 12.8 million Americans are unemployed, 8.2 million cannot find enough work, and 1.1 million have given up looking for work altogether. Unemployment still remains above 8 percent, the supposed maximum rate, and certainly above 6 percent. For 36 straight months, unemployment has been higher than what the president promised. That's more than a rounding error; that is a failure of leadership.
