    You're gdamn right I'm angry. How much did YOU pay this year? What percentage of YOUR pay do you pay in taxes?

    Thanks. As I've stated before, there has been no bigger critic of the Republican losers in congress and the white house than me. I was pushed to the limit with Republicans and this current administration has just pushed me and other people who disproportionately pay most of the taxes of this country over the edge. How long you do you think you can keep milking people and their money before it runs out?

    How hard is it for you to understand that when you place such a heavy tax burden on business owners and companies, it affects EVERYONE? It affects production. It affects jobs and pay.

    These policies are turning America into France. Take a good look and see how that works for them.

    what? what side of what argument? what i said was a broad observation. i know enough to know that there are people on the left and the right who suck equally.

    1. wasnt talking directly about you,
    2. you arent christian, good for you neither am i.
    3. i am a tax payer, just like you, and if a portion of my tax money is helping some kid eat, or some old person receive medical attention, then so be it, damn i must be a socialist. As for the people who "dont deserve it" the lazy who pump out babies, i bet your tune would change if that would have been your mom, or grandmother, or sister, or if those babies were your nephews or nieces.

    now there is a real question. when you factor in the regressive taxes like payroll and sales, the federal income tax is not so progressive.

    It's a free country. Quit bitching and elect the people that you like. Or find a better one. We pay far fewer taxes here than in most of the western world.

    Yeah, right. You're an anonymous internet character and can make any high-sounding claim that that you wish. But it don't mean chit here. We're all anonymous internet characters. Some are just running about a quart low. Assuming that the people who disagree with you could have no money and are on welfare or something is a particularly foolish notion.

    Even if we all believe you are richer than Rockerfeller and even if you had any idea whatsoever how much me and Massa make, . . . so what?

    One man . . . one vote. It's the American way.

    That would mean I am a lazy bum myself. If I were who I am, my Mom, grandmother or sisters would be helped by me if the were interested in helping themselves.

    The point is, it doesn't have anything to do with not wanting to help people. It has to do with what's best for society as a whole. I feel like lower taxes helps our economy go and helps us be the best nation in the country. We need less spending if we have less taxes. However, this doesn't mean I'm unchristian or don't want to help people. I'm very proud of my charitable donations every year. No I don't support social programs that entice peopel to have more kids they can't afford or give them something for nothing. However, I choose to give money to people less fortunate than me. I want that choice and I want to choose which people to help. Believe it or not, it wouldnt be drug addicts and single moms with 8 kids from 8 different men.

    That's the side of the argument people have, not that they don't want to help and want to hoard all the money but that's what makes our economy go and allows people to give to those less fortunate than themselves

    I think I speak for most of us here when I say, nobody wants to know how big your d*** is. Don't take it personal. :hihi:
