No they do not and thats the point.
I mean i guess on the premise of taxation that would how it would be in a perfect world.
Uhhh yes they do. Some dont pay FIT but everyone pays some sort of tax. A problem is that we also need to simple up our tax code and get rid of a bunch of loopholes.
This whole "fiscal cliff" thing, IMO, is really about one thing. GREED. The same people who are pushing to raise the debt ceiling are the same ones who don't want to pay a little more, and being such an elite small sliver, are probably the same ones who have been benefitting from these overexpenditures. If you are one of the small sliver of wealthiest at the top, you make obscene amounts of money. You live vastly beyond comfortably, and anything you want, you can easily afford ten thousandfold. So what's REALLY going on?
I think the point was that some get more than they pay in.They will be paid by everyones $$$ because everyone pays into the system one way or another.

I have seen no scans of paperwork showing such things, so no, you haven't produced anything but a load of BS.
I can only assume if you don't know anything when you go to bed, ya' ain't likely to know anything when ya' wakes up. I don't recollect who it was said that. Now speakin' at the empty chair, I bought my property when I was making money and I'm now retired. My property taxes, just by themselves area a little over 20% of my income. I spend $2500/yr. on gasoline, $2500/yr on utilities (gas and electric), $300/yr. on car registrations, $400/yr on inspections and the bullsheet repairs to get through those inspections, sales tax on everything and you can tell the empty chair representing the vapid sentient entity to do the math and then apologize and admit that ones cerebellum was deeply impacted when the rash and hubris statement was spewed. Proportionately, as I stated, I and many others in my income bracket, pay 30% to taxes.
boo dee freakin hoo. if you don't like paying taxes, sell your property and cut your annual tax bill by 2/3rds
I'm not crying or whining. It's the wealthy that are crying and whining. Is that you? Just pay your proportionate percentage and be done with it. If you need to cry and whine some more, buy a towel. Perhaps it's deductible. "Yes. I'm a greedy bastard!! I need MORE!!!" Do that ring a bell with y'all?
i have a desire for other peoples money by wanting to raise taxes on the rich? Interesting premise..
if people want something and are unwilling to pay for it but instead demand others pay more taxes I don't find their attitude to be any different than that off a thief. they are merely outsourcing thievery and of course, outsourcing something one can do for themselves is the Sine qua non of the leftwing mindset
like I keep saying. it always seems to be those paying the least that complain someone else is not paying enough. :shrug:

Yes, if people want police, they should be Illinois to pay for it. If people want firefighters, they should be willing to pay for it. If people want healthcare, they should be willing to Pay for it. So, what are you going on about?
As usual your oblique attack on what I am saying makes no sense. I tire of those who don't pay any income taxes whining that the rich need to "pay their fair share"
objectively the term fair share is silly but the closest thing to defining "fair share" is to divide federal spending by the number of citizens and whatever that number is is a fair share of taxation. guess who is getting ripped off?
and the current definition the Liar in chief uses is based purely on whoring for votes
the rich pay as much taxes as you do on non progressive taxes and far more than you do on progressive taxes.
tell me Dave why is it wrong if everyone pays the exact same tax bill since we all get essentially the same services
I don't pay more for a Double Cheeseburger than you do, and I don't pay more for a ticket to see the Hobbit than you do
The wealthy need more things protected by the military. They need more protection at the banks. They invest in paper and seldom do actual job creation, but need their investment protected and babysat by some gov't agency. They need their big industries protected by laws and gov't subsidy. Just a few examples. It's a Corporate owned gov't. Of the Corporation, By the corporation, For the corporation.
seems you've made several posts whining and crying that the rich don't pay enough taxes. keep the towel for yourself...you are the one who needs it.
that's silly, the military's costs are not increased by the amount of some rich guy's property
try again
I said that they pay PROPORTIONATELY less than lots of persons with lower income. Does the word have too many syllables for you? It is an exact word being misread by an inexact mind, or what? I think everyone should pay PROPORTIONATELY the same.
If you own more, then it stands to reason those owned items will require more gov't service/s. That would be more gov't "bennies" to those that deserve them the least.
That sounds like a wealthy "wellie", but when an oil platform in some gulf is attacked by some terrorist, the stockholders take it for granted that the military will defend their property.
