Hey Padwan... Since most people making less than 15,000 per year dont pay ANY taxes...

How in your liberal logic do you figure those guys manage to pay a bigger percentage than someone putting up 40-60% of their income?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Such is the liberal mindset - denial. First there's the mantra, "I don't believe, you show me, where's the link?" Then when you give them proof they bash the source, the messenger. :mrgreen:
That is why I stopped taking the time to provide links years ago.

your links usually are from FOX.
Fair and balanced ;) Thank goodness for the internet, talk radio, FOX news network and such. The liberals have had a lock on the mass media way too long.

YOU.....need to watch a few episodes of The Five on FOX. Both conservative and liberal speak is provided. Do you live in the states are just firing unfounded shots across the pond?

Amazing eh? They just want to antagonize. You give the script & the link, the facts, they ask for the link which you just gave them & then won't read it. :clap:


I've spent my whole adult life in that 50-100k range.. I got raped every paycheck @ 35% taxes..then in January I'd get 5-8k back which would put me in the 30% range.. The only writeoffs I could list were my house payments because its all interest.. You shouldn't be penalized for pulling out and not making babies.. The tax code blows, after a few years I realized I'm not working Sundays, double time is useless when the uncle Sam is taking half.

Sorry only time I can watch Fox is when they are having a debate. It seems my intelligence level drops when I try to watch it on the regular.

30%? Doesn't sound right. Don't think I ever paid over 12% upon filing, shaking it down with the IRS. 5-8K back? :shock: Also, if you're not paying in upon filing, you're allowing the govt. to use YOUR money. I have to laugh when I hear folks brag, "wow, I'm getting $3,000 back!" Right, you just screwed yourself. :rolleyes:

It sounds like you need some financial counseling preferably from a friend that knows his shit, not some CFC that takes a percentage or pushes his products for a commission. My wife & I have both participated in investments for 40 something years which includes IRA's, deferred income plans, stocks, bonds, pension plans, etc. We are now retired and sitting on so much money we don't know what to do with it. Not bragging, it just finally came together. One of the first things I did in my 20's was to take a couple of investment courses at the local Jr. college. Hell, didn't even know what a bond was before that. That & study/research has paid off but it wasn't overnight. It takes time, lots of time.

If you take care of today, tomorrow will always treat you right.

After all the govt. butthurt, waste, you're still gonna vote Democrat, right?

I wished he didn't meet with that dickhead Al, he's a race hustler who has zero credibility or influence.. Maybe Sharpton can get Bernie 500 votes.. There ain't enough time in the day to meet with people who deliver 500 votes.

He has influence with lots of older black voters. And every vote counts. This is no time to get choosy about constituents, as long as they represent sizeable swaths of the voting public. Really, that's the classic definition of a 'popular' campaign- not to be confused with 'populist', which is say anything to get a rise and attention, a la Donald the Chump style.

What exactly is a race "hustler"? Serious question.

"A guy who hustles race for money" Interesting... How does this differ from the race "baiting" that I'm frequently accused of? Is it just the $$$?

Lol, I can't comment on why someone called you a race baiter, you'd have to ask them.. But if you aren't exploiting a racial situation for self interests and profiting off it then you ain't race hustlin'

This is where we differ. You'll say "exploit", and I'll just say "bring awareness to". How many of the things that happen in the streets (Particularly with the police) would go unreported, uninvestigated, and unsolved without Reverend Sharpton and others "exploiting" these racial situations?

Not true. For starts 43% of Americans don't pay taxes.
Social security, sales tax, user fees and tolls are all taxes poor people pay a much larger percentage of than rich people. Those making more money should be paying more in income taxes, that's how a fair tax policy works.

Here's an entire debate about who pays their fair share of taxes in America between two teams of academics, the audience votes who had the better argument at the end of the debate, the team supporting your argument get's schooled, have a look;
