Americans Still Say Upper-Income Pay Too Little in Taxes

[ttystikk]

Sooooooooo back to the ORIGINAL TOPIC;

America will continue to slowly crash until and unless taxes on wages end up lower than those on other forms of earned income and corporate earnings.

Whether this happens by raising corporate taxes, lowering those on wages, or most likely a combination of the two, our average citizen's economic situation- and therefore the nation's in aggregate- will only improve when it's in place, and there is no substitute.

We'll have nasty crash after crash until there's simply nothing left to steal. I fear that day is much closer than most people think.

@schuylaar is right; electing Mr Sanders as an independent would certainly begin to redress the insanity.

That it seems like such a long shot is entirely a function of how much we believe in the power of the corporate amnesia mongers to keep fooling us.

There is a mental illness in this country.

Conservatism

They have something for that

I think high taxes on wages and low taxes on corporate profits = Aristocracy. The pattern fits.

As an American CITIZEN, I say;

FUCK ARISTOCRACY AND ALL WHO SUPPORT IT! ​

NO ONE MAY HAVE MORE HUMAN RIGHTS OR POWER BECAUSE OF WEALTH OR PRIVILEGE.

Cute, but don't forget that all the time spent down at their level is less time spent at yours.

When it comes to people who actually want to discuss these things, I'm happy to do that. With people like ben and a handful of others who don't and who offer nothing of value to the forum, they can rightly go fuck themselves

• Americans say money and wealth should be more evenly distributed
• Belief that upper-income pay too little in taxes has been evident for 25 years
• Slight majority favoring heavy taxes on rich is unchanged over last three years

You're correct, just about 20 percent of people have some mental illness.

Is it coincidence that is the same percentage of people who vote Republican?

I think not.

Only 20% in America or do you mean the world? Not trying to get hung up on details, but I hypothesize 60-90% of America is mentally defective, myself counted among them.
