Ann Romney Never Worked a Day In Her Life.

Yes. Voluntary taxation is an idea so stupid that only a republican could come up with it. That will solve our debt crisis.

Who are the wealthy? The top 1% or the top 50%?

No, you don't seem to understand what I am telling you. I'm telling you that your response to Jyran is nonsensical. "Sending a check" does not solve the problem that raising taxes on the wealthy seeks to solve. You responding, "Send a check" would be like me telling you "buy some tires" when you say that you need bread for a sandwich.

If you think "sending a check" has anything to do with the liberal argument that the wealthy should pay more taxes then you have ZERO understanding of that argument. ZERO.

Yes, I know it doesn't solve the problem.....as I've already said.

She hasn't worked a day in her life. She like her millionaire husband get millions of dollars for sitting there ass at home. She doesn't know what its like to work for minimum wage or get a pink slip. She doesn't know what its like to live paycheck to paycheck. I wonder why hillary rosens comment where so controversial. She was 100% correct.
Click to expand...

She never said she did. Just because you don't go through something, doesn't mean you don't understand or have empathy for someone who does.

The reason her comment was controversial is because lefty is always whining about the war on women from the right...but when the left does it, it's OK. See lefty women only stand for those on the left and demonize all women on the right. If someone on the right had said this about a high profile left woman figure...the lefts heads would have exploded.

Where is NOW sticking up for Ann Romney???

What celebrities and others on the left have spoken of economics and never experienced every being poor?

Then why would you respond, "send a check"? If you admit that "sending a check" does nothing to solve the problem that "raising taxes on the wealthy" sees to solve, then why would you say that since it has nothing to do with anything?

He has paid his fair share. Flipper hasnt. He pays 13.9 % of his income in taxes. I paid 24% of my income. If only i made mitt romney money.

Because it's not all considered income. Revise the tax code until then, we have not only Romney who takes advantage of loop holes but also Buffett and Ubama himself using the tax code to avoid more taxes by gifting to his daughters.

Just to get your panties in a knot....obviously.
 
Ubama? What's up with that?

No seriously, why would you respond with "send a check", if you didn't think it was a reasonable answer. This a common response to the "increase taxes on the wealthy" argument by those on the right and they usually think it's a reasonable and fair response. If you don't think it's reasonable, why did you say it? Or are you backtracking?

I know...how about WE CUT SPENDING!!!

We could cut government in half and it would still be too large.

You could take every penny from all the millionaires and billionaires and all the money from every fortune 500 company and you may have enough to run the government for a year.

No, I'm not backtracking, I'm being a facetious twit.

So you're backtracking or you still don't understand. Got it. Let me help out you and the others who frequently respond "send a check" to an argument instead of actually making a counterargument that makes sense. Raising taxes on the wealthy is about making the tax code accurately reflect income inequality. Sending a check doesn't do that. It just gives more money to the government.
 
Rapunzel52 said:
It seems you and others brought up the Buffett rule and taxes.

Lefty's sure get testy when you bring up cuts in spending....LOL
Click to expand...
I'm not testy. I used the exact same format as your original sentence. In any case, talking about "cutting spending" has nothing to do with that I said.

Of course it doesn't...Lefty only knows about raising taxes.

I said, "it has nothing to do with what I said," not "it has nothing to do with I know". By your logic if I'm not talking about dogs in my post, I must not know about them. Try harder.

You can send a check and tell them what to apply it to. If it's for social justice, I'm sure you could find someplace to apply it to to suit your needs.
 
So.... about Ann Romney....

we all have access, I guess what we are argueing is who pays for it....

and I'm arguing that if everyone has the right to it then letting something like money stand in the way is not right.

A car should be a right?

People should have these things (given to them if need be) regardless of any ability to obtain them themselves?
Click to expand...

Yes, well unless the person is unable to drive a car, people should have these things, and you mentioned the car so I'll start there. People, in this day and age, need a car to get to and from work, so therefore it has become a basic need.
UtahBill said:
First thing we give them is access to a job.....THAT is how govt should help us, since so much of what they do relates to availability of jobs.
My brother was offered a job, but he would have had to move to where the job was, and he didn't want to do that. He was, and is, single so he had nothing holding him where he was. Our sister even offered him a room in her house, which was near the job.
I say let him suffer the consequences...

I totally agree here because, contrary to popular belief, the private sector is designed so that they can minimize the amount of people on their payroll.
