Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Nobody owes you a "Living Wage", that is socialist speak for "I want more money, but I don't really want to wor for it".

You could CONFISCATE all of the money that the "Wealthy" own and you wouldn't solve any problems

The "take" other peoples money is your only answer to everything.

Now, you DO know it's their money, don't you?



The problem is you cut revenues from the top income class while not providing a living wage for the bottom. Of course that is only going to increase the welfare roles. Sure, you can eliminate welfare and have a 50 million people out to cut your throat for a loaf of bread, that makes sense., or you can cut back a little on the tax breaks for the wealthy and help cut back on the National debt so that every one has less debt.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

maybe if they got off their asses and stopped smoking newports and drinking 40s they could get trained/educated a provide a living wage for themself. :shrug:

So you feel those of us that make less than $1 million a year aren't pulling our weight?
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

I don't. I feel the lower class should start shouldering some of the burden instead of sponging off everyone else.

How much more do you feel the middle class should pay in taxes to make up for the $91,000 those that make more than $1 million a year get in tax breaks?

I am not talking about a living wage for full time work, I am not talking about a handout.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Protesters are using more than just rhetoric to go after Scott Walker. M&I Bank was Walker's largest contributor, even surpassing the Koch Brothers in contributions. The Unions, along with their members, have more than one billion dollars on deposit with the bank. Guess what? The Unions, along with their membership, are getting ready to pull it all out, which would bankrupt the bank. Looks like it isn't just Governor Walker who is willing to use a slash and burn strategy. The Unions, and their membership also have other targets which they believe they can put out of business.

War has come to Wisconsin, folks.

But you have no problem with the upper class sponging off the support of middle class taxes?
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

Yes I know the song and dance.

$25 an hour McDonalds workers.

So tell me..what American businesses would you Nationalize?

It is encouraging to see people fight back in the class war that has been waged in this country! :sun

No one is talking about $25/hr for McDonalds' workerss and no one is taking about nationalizing business. I was suggesting a living wage as an alternative to welfare. Keep going the welfare route if you choose.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

The 2003 Bush tax cuts are annually $91,000 on average to those making more than $1 million dollars. the tax cut for those making less than $1 million, the average tax cut is $100 annually.
What?? :lamo

That doesn't even pass the silly test.

If what you said were true, the top 0.27% would be getting over 70% of the tax benefit... it's just ridiculous.

But thanks for the laugh.

This proves that unions are made up of nothing but thugs. M&I executives gave the legal maximum of approximately $182,000 to Gov. Walker's campaign and are now to be driven into FDIC receivorship by withdrawal of union pension funds. If that happens, will cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. They care about no one except themselves.

Unions and their membership will stop at nothing to get exactly what they want. Is there any stopping them? I don't know. But I now know that neither union officials nor their membership can be trusted to do anything that doesn't benefit themselves. They are selfish disloyal Americans who will do anything to get what they want -- including bleeding taxpayers dry.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

I guess my question is this...how far are the Unions willing to go?

Civil War?

I heard today that they are calling for union members to protest tomorrow dressed in black...Isn't that great? Screw Japan, screw anything else other than their small worlds....What a bunch of crap!

Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

The point is that since there was no funding source provided for the $91,000 on average in tax breaks we give each year to everyone that makes more than $1 million dollars, it is added to the debt which the middle class and our future offspring than become responsible to pay back



I do not discuss my personal finances online, if you wish to, go right ahead.

IOW, you ain't paid a ****ing penny in taxes. Thanks.

That's awful. I hope they realize that might hurt a LOT of people and will not turn public favor to their side.

Laugh away, the millionaires really appreciate your good humor about their annual windfall at your expense.

"The tax bill gave a $91,000 tax cut, on average, to those earning more than $1 million a year. Most Americans, however, get less than $100."

Why is it that liberals worry so much about what other people earn? Look Cat, if you think that the tax rates are too low, then you can send more money in. They'll take it, I promise.

complete crap: its the spending that causes the problem-not stealing as much, through mob rule, the wealth of others

how much does the average millionaire pay in federal income taxes?

well that is that much more than 47% of the US population

does anyone think that the millionaire uses more federal services than those 47 percent?

looks like we know who isn't paying their share and its not the millionaire

Continual Costco Confusion. Poor Turtle is not able to distinguish shopping with his cart at a retail store and only paying for what he wants with the relationship of a citizen and their government.
 
Re: Wisconsin Republicans vote to strip public worker collective bargaining rights wi

It doesn't specify, but I did notice in my rereading I got the amount wrong. It is $93,000, not $91,000.
