10 things about our new budget

[dvs909]

lol wut

The rich are the minority, and they can't do anything to protect themselves from the poor voting against there interests.
Its not in the poors interests to take money from the rich, that has been proved not to help anyone.

Basically the rich vote aka the minority can't protect itself from the poor vote, aka the majority.

this is simplified. ill elaborate when you make a dumbass statement.

Do you need to use such language to pass your idea? Or you're in a rush of your teenage hormones?

Lee, I mean really, what the hell. This thread is about the budget of the United States of America. If you feel so compelled to participate, just move down here.

Until then, keep selling brake kits, drinking shitty beer and getting free health care from those underqualified retards you call "doctors". And leave this thread alone.

It's a very valid point. Look, I'm a conservative but flat taxes won't work either. How do you come up with that number that everyone has to pay? What if a person can't pay that number? It's not a black and white thing man.. plenty of gray in there.

so the solution is to rape the rich minority? what the government is doing is blatant theft. Say the flat tax is 10%. If you can't afford to save 10 percent of what you make for the government, there is a serious, SERIOUS issue in your spending habits.

The idea that we Americans are ENTITLED to have a TV, Cell Phone etc. is ridiculous. Go listen to Dave Ramsey America, if you can't pay cash for it. don't buy it.

The Government is just enabling irresponsible spending, which is what got us into this mess.

The majority is raping and stealing from the minority, and there isn't a thing they can legally do.

"A new era of fiscal responsibility"

Quadrupling the deficit the first month in office.

No wonder Obama wouldn't give any specifics while he was running and just stuck to the "Hope" & "Change" vague, ambiguous BS

Lee, you were pretty aggressive in your post (and many others) as well. And no one here is against helping people. Now if all that money had gone to taxes, would it have been donated as he wished? That's the whole point of capitalism. It's not a zero-sum game. Yes, some will not do as well as others, welcome to the natural condition of life. Meanwhile, as everyone striving to do better is what pushes the market and country up, and grows new consumer bases which in turn allows more people the opportunity to generate profit.

There is enough capacity within this system to help those who need a little help getting back on their feet. It cannot support entire populations or segments of the economy, nor can it function effectively if the basic premise of competition is tampered with. While it might make people feel good about themselves to say that wealth will be redistributed artificially, it hurts the underlying engine behind economic growth. It's like getting a sick person drunk. He will feel better for a while but eventually the root causes of the illness will crop up.

Why didn't you vote for Nader then? Was is Nader or Perrot that wasn't the flat income? I get those two mixed up sometimes on their ideas..

thats not a response to my point.

I guess i didn't complete my thought. sorry.

what i meant to make a point of is why should they pay more? because they have more? my dad started out with nothing and is a self made millionaire, how can anyone say that he should pay more because he has more?

Taxes should be at a SINGLE flat percent across the income bracket.

Hmmm. Following your reasoning, Donald Trump should pay no taxes. After all, he worked even harder than your parents...

who do you think would generate more income for the government? Donald trump paying no taxes, or you paying the same percent of taxes as he does?

Hey dumb ass...

How is it fair for my parents who worked hard as fuck to make there way in America, to have to pay higher taxes then some lowlife piece of shit gas station worker? shouldn't the successful be rewarded, not punished?

That was just dumb...
