No more than they will ignore that the current policies aren't working to fix the broken system...
We will see who was right in November!

Because there were no corporations in the 90's when tax rates were higher for the wealthy? :lamo

I am still waiting for somebody to explain what is "fair".
If I make $500,000 a year, what is my "fair share" I should pay in federal income taxes.
Right now I believe it is 35%. Why isn't that "fair"?
I think most people-reviewing your comments about silk diapers and how the rich ought grovel on their knees to keep their wealth-would conclude that your posts contain a tremendous amount of loathing and hatred for the rich that has no sound basis for these feelings
why? I understand "From each according to their ability" has appeal to the weak minded but that is just plain stupid

because claiming that will cause a politician to be supported by those who aren't smart enough or talented enough to make one fifth of what you make
As I stated in another thread.
The actual 2011 # look like this
Actual outlay $3,598,086 M / 312 M people = $11,532 per person per year.
If everyone cannot afford that much, then Government is too big!
Our Federal Government is not chartered to engage in charity!
What a fallacy!!!!!
You are assuming that EVERYONE has equal income, equal ability, equal means, equal everything to pay that $11K. That is simply silly.
By your 'reasoning' - since we have homeless people with no income and no ability to pay anything, that then is the standard for EVERYONE.
Amazing!!!!
Show me the one person in America who is making this hypothetical $500,000 income only from wages - then we'll talk.I am still waiting for somebody to explain what is "fair".

But you would agree that we are a country of 'equal rights' correct? And the governance is responsible for protecting these 'equal rights' so logically those who have these 'rights' equally owe the expense of protecting them equally. This may not be practical but it is logical.
My point was, that the raw cost of goods sold of our Government is $11,532 per person per year.
Think of it this way.
A large social group has their annual get-together. Everyone is served a steak dinner worth $20.
So out of 100 members, the 40 middle income members pay $20, the 30 high income members have to pay
$40, low income members get theirs free.
Next year the low income members think they should pick a nicer place to eat!
That's fair, Right?

Who elected you to speak for "most people"?............
More importantly does anyone think the working class is going to ignore that GOP policies broke the system they are now whining about?
I did.
It was on the news.
Since you did not present me with a valid voter ID and sixteen collaborating pieces of other valid ID as well as testimony of the doctor who assisted in your birth as a US citizen, you vote has been thrown out.
I realize the comparison is a poor one, but it is hard to find a nice analogy to someoneYou comparison makes me hungry and it is not even lunchtime.
However, your comparison is not an apt one. A social group is a voluntary organization and if one cannot pay the tab, one need not be in it. The nation is not like that.

being coerced to pay for something for someone else.
In Addition, the people not paying, always think of ways to improve on what they are not paying for.
I have always favored a final point of sales consumption tax (excluding food and housing), as thatPoint taken. This is why I have always said that ALL American earning dollar one should at least pay 5% in federal income tax.
Funny, last time I checked, with the Republicans talking about SS like it's welfare, every America paid 7.45% of their income to Uncle Sam - at a minimum.Point taken. This is why I have always said that ALL American earning dollar one should at least pay 5% in federal income tax.
