OK. I just had to do this since Obama seems to think that 80% of Americans want higher taxes. Well......let's find out.:lamo
 
Well, the poll didn't go through. That's OK. Tell me what you think anyway.
 
I doubt most people want higher taxes for themselves. They want others to have higher taxes.

libs remind me of Lord Farquaad saying many of his soldiers will die but it is a price he was willing to pay

they always claim others can afford their nefarious tax hike schemes that they push to slake their envy of the wealthy or to pander to the envious
 
I believe in an extreme form of progressive taxation. The more you make the more you are taxed...
So yes i would like to see taxes raised.

yeah-the sad part is that some of them keep pretending they want it for the good of the nation rather than out of envy or to pander to the losers
 
Punish Success--
Yep they are gonna hurt and get a big punishment if the riches taxes are raised. Such a punishment i feel so bad for them...

Reward Failure
Yep the poor, middle and working class are just a bunch of failures arent they? Just failed at life...

Your belief about other people's believes are wrong. If we have to raise taxes, which we are going to have to, do it on the people it will effect the least. That is why people want to raise taxes on the richest 2%, not because of class envy.

Well how would you feel if someday you are successful?

Moving down the economic ladder results in a Government Reward........of them taking less.

Can we please get rid of this myth that government assistance is a reward?

socialism is a pipe dream that appeals to losers and those who pander to them

sadly it is no longer the stigma it once was but has become a way of life for many

That's not what I am talking about. Government assistance is not much, and it's not an easy life on it. Life gets better once you get off of it.
 
Way out on a limb here.........probably compared to what your paying now.........

In truth I'd like to be like my fellow citizens corporations (they're citizens too now, correct?) and not pay any taxes. That particular wish isn't looking too promising at the moment. Beyond that would I like to pay hiring taxes or lose my job or lose my house and live on the street? Would I prefer to pay higher taxes or have family members lose their jobs or be on the street. Yeah, I'd rather pay higher taxes than to become jobless and homeless.

Would I prefer to pay higher taxes and not significantly decrease defense funding? Probably not. Would I like to pay higher taxes and have corporations continue to receive corporate welfare? No, I wouldn't.

I wish you could convince millions of americans that is true

Well if i was "successful"? First off what is your definition of "success" is it how big your paycheck is? Or is it doing something you like?

"Reward"? Gov assistance is a "reward"? :doh
Also moving up the ladder you also get government "reward" if you havent noticed...

STOP WITH THE ****ING DOTS
 
Well, a new poll has come out proving Obama is a liar. According to this poll, only 34% of Americans want higher taxes.

are you willing to pay 50cents on every dollar you make?

Right... TurtleDude is this the only argument of theory you have toward socialism? "Its a pipe dream and lazy, loser slobs are only socialists"? Seriously? Do you have anything other than that idiotic, conservative theory? Seriously?
Then im guessing Einstein, MLK, George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, Hellen Keller were all just "losers".
 
I would be willing to pay higher taxes.... but only in a situation where the budget was balanced, the entitlements were reformed to be viable, spending was severely curtailed, etc. Fix the spending problem, and then we need to start tackling the debt.... but if we just hike taxes now, it will only feed the spending problem.

Me and Ben will not budge....
