What purpose did the tax cut for the wealthiest serve?

The rule of law? Is that all you got? Is this going to be another Boo argument where he ended up just saying its taxes so its cool? Is that the approach you want to take Catawba?

Sorry to break it to you, but the rule of law in this country trumps your opinion. I know this must come as a shock to you and you are probably in denial, right?

Come back to me when you can prove what he couldn't.

He already proved it, but it requires an understanding of the rule of law. Would you like some sources to read up on it?

Prove to me the rule of law somehow proves me wrong. He couldn't, sorry. Might want to read it again.

Besides the rule of law argument is a pathetic cop out. Give me something of worth if you don't mind. I'm not interested in dealing with such asenine arguments again.

Tell us your plan to get more income from those who are not working?

Because the GOP plan for the last 30 years and continues to be more tax cuts for the rich and less regulations, which has only made the problem worse.

You should know my plan and it has yet to be tried by the GOP.

Sorry, I am not a mind reader. What is your plan to accomplish your stated goal of getting more income from those who are not working?

The rule of law has upheld taxation of income for the last century and a half. Btw, there is no higher authority of what is legal in this country than the rule of law.

If you don't believe me, just try refusing to pay your taxes and see how that works out for you.

I know. You are making the same mistake as everyone else I have ever debated this with. You are trying to tell me all taxation is fine and just because it is taxation. I would think by now people would realize what the qualifiers are, apparently they don't.

I don't speak in tongues, so I do not know what your are talking about. Like the majority of the country i believe in the rule of law in this country. If you do not, simply stop paying your taxes and let us know how that works out for you.

And these all important "qualifiers" would be what exactly?

I sure haven't seen many of us who oppose more and more welfare socialism and soak the rich (ie everyone in the top tax bracket, not just the Paris Hiltons who are often used as a surrogate for all the rich) supporting those bailouts

You should get out more.

But that is logical, that will never compute for the far right.

What's logical is that America is a capitalist country.
In a capitalist country corporations provide jobs so that Anmerican capitalist workers will by their products
Illogical NO JOS , cause NO JOBS MEANS NO SALE.:peace

I have not been appointed spokesperson to speak for those people. I have always opposed said bailouts-bailouts that the unions were very much in favor of

using the bailouts as an excuse to wage class warfare against everyone in the top 2% is pathetic.

Ah Christ, not the old union dodge again.
What unions? there's only two strong ones left Teamsters and londshoremen, after that what you got?
Teachers? lol:peace

those who support income redistribution-mainly to buy the votes of those addicted to entitlements-feel a need to excuse such behavior by whining about heirs

and then they claim ENVY does not motivate their postings

Not heirs, not envy, JOBS, and they'er not whineing anymore, ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER.:shock:

That is what the far-right hasn't figured out yet, if all the wealth and jobs are concentrated at the top, then you have no masses with the money to buy the products and your economy fails. Not sure greed allows them to even see it, so it will be up to the middle class to force an equalization to bring the countries economy back into balance.

Ya know I've been going through this thread there's some people that are against more jobs for American people from American corporations. that's basicly what most of the one side wants more people working more money.

Some say the rich are envyed some say the rich got their money it's up to everybody else to get theirs.

However there is a factor that seems to be overlooked, since the rich don't give money to the rich.

Being rich and staying rich should be at least on somebody's mind.

So, let's think real hard on how the rich stay rich , I mean after the rich buy all they need and buy all they want. Who do they turn to then, could it be the poor , lower middle class and middle class., or a lot of warehouses and inventory and NO SALES SLIPS.:peace

I am still asking why a hard working doctor or lawyer or small business owner should have his taxes jacked up when many other people are paying far less of the income burden than they have in the past

what the tax the rich more crowd (ie the leftwing moderate to fringe) haven't figured out is that taxing the rich more doesn't create jobs for the middle class and certainly doesn't motivate the poor and middle class to try to make it to the top.

My theory is that greed produces an inability to acknowledge that the working class pays a much higher percentage of their total income in taxes than do millionaires and billionaires.
