Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

Baloney. You righties do not have the guts or honesty to run on the Turtle program of allocating votes according to taxes paid.

No not publically but in the end the results are the same...watch.

That post is completely full of ****.

Of course not, there are too many parasites and slackers addicted to government. popularity is often the death of society. and right now, the dems are doing everything possible to make as many people dependent on the government as possible
 
Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

The only consistency we see out of you is always wanting the rich to pay more money so your dem politicians can buy more votes

when it comes to taxes you claim that progressive rates are proper because the "people" through congress say they are but when it comes to the same congress decreeing lower rates for investment income you whine that it is discriminatory

you want all income treated the same for reasons based on "fairness" (rational economic arguments have yet to be proffered for jacking up taxes on investment income) yet you despise fairness in the form of flat rates or everyone paying the same percentage of their next dollar to the government

1- I have consistently said that ALL AMERICANS should have their income tax rate raised by five points. And that includes myself.

2- That is not my position - but feel free to quote me if you pretend that it is. What you are doing is dragging another strawman from your barn.

3 - There is nothing fair about a flat rate and you never have made a case that it is.
 
Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

Bringing race into this does not advance the discussion.

completely failing to understand the analogy but instead making veiled and dishonest charges of racism is really hurting the discussion
 
Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

You'll survive.

Which is hardly the point. For Turtle to call people IDIOTS because they do not earn their money as he does is engaging in the opposite of honest debate. For you or others to defend it is joining in that fraud.

No one called you a racist Turtle. You brought race into this discussion about taxation. That is hardly conducive to honest discussion about a topic that race has nothing to do with.

Another incorrect interpretation of what I said

Then quit the name calling and you will not have to worry about how anyone interprets it when you call somebody an IDIOT.

it was an analogy that really had nothing to do with race. It demonstrating an example where someone can make a truthful statement (lets use Men instead of blacks so as not to offend your sensibilities) such as TEN MALE MURDERS GET MORE TIME THAN TEN FEMALE SPEEDERS (an accurate statement) and from that TRUTHFUL STATEMENT

MAKE AN INCREDIBLY DISHONEST CONCLUSION THAT BEING MEN ARE TREATED MORE HARSHLY by the courts than women.

You already did what you did. The cat cannot be put bag into the bag.

so are you and your fellow tax hikers going to stop calling the rich greedy, calling heirs people in "silken diapers" and arguing that those of us who oppose socialist or pseudo communist tax schemes (such as the death taxes) "Greedy" or selfish?

Does anyone else think my analogy have any racist overtones by merely picking two groups?

He called me an idiot for making more money, so how's that fraud. He just thinks I'm a plain old idiot. Guess he's allowed an opinion.

Lighten up dude it's only make believe.
 
Re: Romney's tax rate is only half as high as the middle class pays

And the exchanges above is why tax threads always become retarded as ****.

Quit the martyrdom routine. Nobody called you a racist. You introduced race into a discussion of taxes. It was unnecessary and foolish.

Oh my you said only two colors? That definitely defines you with cross burners and sheet wearers. Geezmus

Are you in a make believe fantasy land? Because I live in the real world.

Not hardly unless of course you are of the ‘left persuasion’ and CONSTANTLY look for a place to play the race card…:lamo

RACE was introduced in this thread by Turtle. That is a fact. Of course a fellow warrior of the libertarian right will be excused as he prostrates himself before the same altar worshipping the same gods and guzzling the same kool-aid.

No you are trying to stifle my comments based on claims that I am Bringing "race" into the issue. everyone else can see the point I was making. and we can go back and find all the instances of you accusing conservatives of being racist for doing things such as opposing affirmative action

lefties have a habit of trying to shame those who don't buy their bs with charges of racism. when I mentioned that affirmative action allowed "INFERIOR" black students to gain admission ahead of more qualified white or asian students I was accused of saying all blacks are inferior to whites and asians

Oh yeah the inter-webs is so real for me,,, hahaha. Listen I respect your intellect and opinion as a human. What more besides poke a little fun can you want? Opinions differ but here that's all they are not policies being carried out.

Yes. You did bring race into the discussion.
Yes. The point you were making was obvious. I understood it completely and totally.

I do not remember accusing you of being a racist for simply opposing affirmative action. I accused you of being a complete and total hypocrite since you found a way to condemn affirmative action based on race but are an advocate of affirmative action based on family connections and legacy admissions. Please get that straight.
