Obama to call for new tax increases in State of the Union address

Do you think welfare recipients are incapable of inventing something that would require a patent or trademark?

I think that Elvis never wrote a single one of his hits, but still his estate makes money every time someone sings Suspicious Minds
 
What have I made up? DO you think a lot of welfare recipients hold patents and trademarks that keep other people from being able to sell crack or weed now do you?

Look, despite all this diversion, the undeniable truth is that the people the turd in chief wants to tax more are already paying more taxes than what they get from the government and the vast majority of voters pay less in federal taxes than what they get

Liberal tax hikers try to pretend that the rich are getting far more than they pay in order to justify tax hikes rather than being truthful

truth would be saying

We want to tax the rich more to buy the votes of the masses

if VOTES were based on tax payments, the Democrats' scheme of a progressive tax would have never been created

progressive taxes are wet dreams for politicians because they can buy the votes of the many by merely increasing the top rates on the few

Nope.

But when they do, they will also pay higher taxes, assuming that they make big bucks for their invention, so all is fair.

What amazes me is that so many conservatives will use the argument that everyone has an equal opportunity to get rich. Then they complain that it's not fair that the rich pay more in taxes. I dunno whats not fair about it when everyone has a shot of getting rich.

No one forces the rich to pay more in taxes, they can just chose to not be rich.

It does if there is a corresponding tax decrease on the middle class.

Obama already increased Taxes on the Rich.

Capital Gains and dividends taxes were raised under Obama Care. It doesn't make the Middleclass richer, it makes the Governmentr richer.

He also targeted the Middle classes discretionary income through ObamaCare cost increases.

If he actually gave a crap about the Middleclass he would have never signed that law.
 
Which is why we need to eliminate capital gains taxes and simply have the money declared as income and tax it according to the normal schedules. They should do the exact same thing with transfers of wealth also from one person to another. No estate tax or inheritance taxes - just consider it all as income and tax it according to the normal schedules.

Well inheritance isn't really the same as income, IMO. Since the former owner of the wealth is deceased, I have no problem taxing it at a higher rate.

Let's here it Obama supporters how does taxing the rich benefit the U.S. economy and how much money is going to be generated to fund the liberal spending appetite?

Class warfare is never going to solve the problems we face in this country and what ever happened to incentive to create more upper class individuals? Growing up I always strove to generate enough money to pay for a family that I hoped to have and fund charities that I want to support. My education process taught me the value of hard work and the desire to succeed. What happened to that philosophy in today's world? Why is it the Federal Government's role to tell the private sector where to spend its own money and on what?

What's so un-american about reducing corporate welfare checks?

The best is most of the people who clamor for "end double taxation! no estate/inheritance taxes! rahhh" are usually the ones who say in the next paragraph of a copy pasta forum troll spectacular that "people who are
wealthy all worked hard to be so"

What Corporate welfare checks ?

Can you direct me to the specific line item budget payout to ANY Corporation ?

the rich already subsidize the middle class's government services. the middle class does not get proper feedback as to the cost of the government it wants. raising taxes on the rich so the middle class can get more goodies without paying properly for them will only encourage more and more government spending

why are you dishonestly confusing total tax burden which includes state taxes such as taxes on tobacco and booze and car registrations with the federal income tax which I clearly indicated.

and if the poor pay taxes on booze or smokes with money given to them by the government are they really paying that tax or is it people like me who fund the handouts who are actually paying the taxes?

The problem is that since we have a special code for inherited wealth, one can exempt the first five or ten million (depending on ones circumstances) from tax. That needs to stop.

Connecting the vote to taxes was considered so un-American that we passed a Constitutional amendment against the practice.
 
Yep, continue to distort and try to divert. I was wrong, the latest number of Californians making minimum wage is 2.4 million which of course is much less than the 500,000 Texans. Interesting how you cannot seem to comprehend that reality and no matter how many times you make the statement that Texas has more people on Minimum wage than California it remains a lie.

Now back to the topic, please tell me exactly how some rich person kept you from becoming rich and how 32 billion dollars per year is going to help pay for the current 500 billion debt each year?


Must be pretty difficult shuffling around because you constantly get tripped up by the facts. Sorry Con.....but you are dead wrong and have been shown it numerous times. The BLS numbers say that Texas and Mississippi lead the country in the percentage of people working for minimum wage and under. Must make you proud....then again I guess not because you continue to try to distort and dance around. At least its entertaining us all.

Only??!! LOL! That's what Limbaugh says! The Top 5% pay close to half of all taxes!

The bottom 50% pay NONE!!!

You just said what Limbaugh says right after you said not to quote Limbaugh! LOLLLLLLLLL

Yes!

the top FIVE PERCENT pay almost SIXTY percent of the income tax

the TOP ONE PERCENT pay 37% of the income tax and if you throw in the Death tax (which only the top one percent pay) as a income tax surcharge, the top one percent are paying 40% or more of the FIT/Death tax

look at the numbers-the top one percent has paid over 40% of the FIT in recent years

it's a good thing that income tax is the only thing government(s) rely on to generate revenue to provide their services.

Indeed, Mr Romney made good on his threat: senior executives at Bain & Company did start getting big bonuses as the negotiations were ongoing in the early 1990s. In the end, says Mr Dickinson, "The FDIC agreed to accept nearly $5 million in cash to retire $15 million in Bain's debt—an immediate government bailout of $10 million."

Uh I sure don't get 400K worth of federal service

Nor should you.

YOu are confusing retail shopping experience where one loads up their cart at Costco with only what they desire for themselves with the payments of ones taxes to the peoples government representing all of society.

The two are very very different things and should not at all be compared nor confused.

oh. wait.

the fact is-the rich provide an incredibly disproportionate amount of the entire funding of government but those who are parasites and those who pander to the parasites want the rich to pay even more
