Why don't you want to tax the rich?

[Hector12]

We don’t have a revenue problem. We have a spending one

 

[TemplarKormac]

And your point is? We have a lot of nut jobs running around because Mommy didn't give them enough breast milk when they were young.

Excellent.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

People need a little help. There should be single payer healthcare...at least....this Obamacare premium is going to cause an uprising.

The only people losing anything because of these price increases were shafted by Obamacare and now you want the taxpayers who have their own insurance to worry about to bail these freeloaders out? Sorry! The Democrats built it, let them fix it. Obamacare was inflicted on America without a single Republican vote. Why should they fix what the Democrats broke?

 

[rightwinger]

No one accumulates massive wealth tax free.

Yes they do
Until they actually spend that wealth

Your stock portfolio can triple in value but you don’t pay tax on it till you cash out

 

[rightwinger]

What other countries spend on their military is irrelevant.

It shows priorities

Other countries rely on the U.S. for their protection which allows them to spend more on the people

 

[White 6]

So you just admitted talking out of your ass because the same people you want to change the tax code would be cutting off their nose to spite their face? Is that your goal? All you are doing is bitching because your solutions won't work!

You have to be the stupidist sonovabitch, on this board, Swabby. People discuss changes to tax code, everyday and more as tax time approaches. I never attempt to rewrite whole code and do not intend to. Like I said, stupid shit, if you do not want to know don't ask. You never even said why you support any of those offsets. You like how taxes are collected and disbursed, fine. If you do not want to know what somebody else would adjust to bring in more money from the people that can easiest afford it, don't ******* ask.

 

[BackAgain]

It is a choice we make

Invest heavily in the military while we ignore the well being of the people

“Ignore.”

 

[dblack]

If you are opposed, why?

Why do you oppose aggressive taxation of people making more than $250,000+ a year or $400,000+ a year annually?

Because I don't want the government targeting specific groups of people. Or "redistributing wealth".

Right now Republicans control the federal government. It doesn't matter what happened 15 years ago. Democrats aren't in power right now. Republicans are.

Republicans need to find the votes to fix this problem.

 

[IM2]

why would I??

if they earned their money legally then its theirs not ours,,

they already pay the majority of taxs,, maybe have the people that pay nothing step up and get a job and be a benefit to society not a burden,,

Most of the people in this country work. The rich are not paying their fair share. That has been proven. So how about this:

Tell the rich to pay the people working for them living wages so they can pay the taxes you want them to pay.

 

[IM2]

Because I don't like any government targeting specific groups of people. Or "redistributing wealth".

The government redistributes the wealth to the rich from the middle an working classes.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Except we disproportionately NOT. Tax the rich.

Yes! We must give more money to the politicians. They know what’s best!

 

[TemplarKormac]

The government redistributes the wealth to the rich from the middle an working classes.

Where is your proof of this? If anything it's the other way around.

Robin Hood stuff.

 

[tahuyaman]

It shows priorities

Other countries rely on the U.S. for their protection which allows them to spend more on the people

National defense should be the top priority. Without the you have nothing else

 

[tahuyaman]

The government redistributes the wealth to the rich from the middle an working classes.

No. That’s class envy.

You really need to get to the Nashville VA soon, before it is too late.

I just showed you that your proposed changes are unworkable because you want people to sacrifice themselves for the good of the masses. That "ain't happenin'"

Why don't you send every spare cent of your income to the US treasury in April to help out the cause? Are you a hypocrite?

 

[rightwinger]

“Ignore.”

Compared to other industrialized nations….yes

They get free healthcare, higher education, more time off, better retirement, maternity benefits

We get a kick ass military

 

[TemplarKormac]

You know how much people who got rich worked? A lot more than you'd care to admit.

Not every rich person was born with a silver spoon in their hand.

 

[dblack]

The government redistributes the wealth to the rich from the middle an working classes.

As I said, I'm opposed to the government redistributing wealth. Such redistribution will always favor those with the most political influence.

 

[tahuyaman]

Except we disproportionately NOT. Tax the rich.

The rich pay a disproportionate amount of the federal income tax one tax collected.
