Why don't you want to tax the rich?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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.

Republicans offered a solution to the problem. The Democrats shot it down! Why do you not know this?

 

[rightwinger]

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

Facts are that the wealthy control a greater percentage of wealth than ever before

 

[IM2]

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

Robin Hood stuff.

Incorrect. You run your mouth a whoe ot for someone who really doesn't know much. Furthermore, you ain't rich, but you let the richest people in this coutry play you.

70% including capital gains.

There should be no capital gains tax

 

[TemplarKormac]

It shows priorities

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

That should never be.

These countries need to learn how to self-sustain. Israel might be a unique exception to that though.

No they didn't. That's why it was shot down

 

[rightwinger]

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

Maybe because they have disproportionate income

If you say so.

Why is that such an issue with you?

Why didn’t Barry Soetoro stop the Bush tax cuts immediately like he promised you?

 

[BackAgain]

Most of the people in this country work. The rich are not paying their fair share.

Nonsense.

That has been proven.

Link? Not that I doubt you. But you’re an established bullshit artist.

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.

How about we let the market decide?

If a prospective employer declines to hire an applicant at $25.00/hour, maybe the applicant is simply seeking too much. So he either adjusts his salary request down a bit OR he declines to take the job.

Either way, why would anybody accept your suggestion about what constitutes a “living wage?”

 

[IM2]

That should never be.

These countries need to learn how to self-sustain. Israel might be a unique exception to that though.

Why would Israel be an exception? If we stopped arming Netanyahu, he would quit doing the things he is doing.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Maybe because they have disproportionate income

Oh boy. Here comes the disproportionate jealousy.

 

[IM2]

Barry Soetoro does not exist.

 

[rightwinger]

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

I agree

But the US has not been invaded in 200 years and we are protected by massive oceans to the east and west
Very little of our almost trillion dollar a year military budget goes to defending continental US

 

[TemplarKormac]

Why would Israel be an exception? If we stopped arming Netanyahu, he would quit doing the things he is doing.

Nah. They are wanting to sustain their military spending without having to rely on the United States. For now though, they are the key to Middle East stability. We MUST fund them. We might be helping fund the dissidents in Iran if the protests turn into a revolution there.

No, but that's no reason to be complacent.

Did 9/11 teach you nothing?

 

[IM2]

Oh boy. Here comes the disproportionate jealousy.

You are no rich. So why do you make these silly-ass comments?

 

[rightwinger]

Oh boy. Here comes the disproportionate jealousy.

The numbers don’t lie
The money is with the wealthy

That is where our taxes should come from

 

[TemplarKormac]

You are no rich. So why do you make these silly-ass comments?

Simple deduction. You don't need to be rich to put two and two together.
