What's the difference? Get over your envy and deal with the real issue, which is that we need to lower deficits and part of that is raising revenue. Millionaires can afford to pay more without affecting their lifestyles, unlike the middle class and poor. They are also among the very few who have actually prosphered throughout the Great Recession, AND they are paying at a FAR lower rate than they have since the 1940s. It's a no brainer.

sorry the millionaires pay too much and merely being able to pay more no longer has any validity. The rich are paying MORE Of the income tax share than they have in decades.

Its slackers who demand more government who need to pay more

from each according to their ability doesn't cut it

and certainly what is pathetic is those who don't pay enough demanding others pay more

its time to massively cut government even though that the dems will take a bath in winning elections

Uhmm no, it is a typical response from someone that knows WND is a waste of time.
 
was FICA supposed to be a progressive tax or rather a graduated payment?

Look I realize this board mostly has those who don't pay their share of the tax burden and they want those who pay more of the tax burden than their share to pay even more

its the mentality that fuels a demand for progressive income taxes. I understand what motivates such people

but don't pretend its right just because there are more net tax consumers than net tax payers

The rich are paying more BECAUSE THEY ARE RICHER. Here's a thought: if you can't stand paying so much in taxes, give your f*cking employees a raise and let them pay the taxes.

So when all your facts turn out to not be true, you are left with the same mindless rhetoric and insults.

Where is your evidence that more revenue will me lower deficits? You continue to buy what this Administration tells you because that is what you want to hear. This Administration has yet to tell the truth on any economic issue.

Did you not study arithmetic in elementary school? Deficits = revenue - spending. Increase revenue and you lower deficits, all else being equal.

Actually you are wrong. One of my main concerns is something called marginal utility. Also I'm not to fond of living in a plutocracy and or oligarchy.

Has that ever happened in U.S. History with regards to the govt? Pretty naive if you ask me.

Thanks for the laugh at the end of the evening as I know that is your purpose, to come into the forum, make wild accusations and then get a response. This is an act, no question about it

Of course it's happened. Think waaaaay back to the 1990s. I guess you were still in school and not paying attention.

--In late 2007, Solyndra was one of 16 clean-tech companies deemed eligible for $4 billion worth of loan guarantees from the U.S. Department of Energy. Tesla Motors, the Silicon Valley electric carmaker, and Oakland's BrightSource Energy, a builder of solar-thermal plants, also made that list.

The actual budgets and deficits back up my claim, you offer your opinions which you pass off as fact. I will take the Treasury data over your opinion.

Your mystery Treasury data which you've failed to provide is not including replacement of munitions and equipment, death benefits for the families, nor the cost of Veterans care for the thousands injured and maimed.

my state doesnt have 10.9% unemployment and the city of Detroit which is a model of liberalism. Keep trying to divert.
Click to expand...

Diversion is exactly what you are practicing when you attack me for where I live instead of my positions on the issues.

News bulletin for you: I was never mayor of Detroit. I was never elected to anything in Detroit. I have not lived in Detroit for over several decades.

Got it?

So much for the nonsense that I benefited from the war. Your personal attack is pathetic by mixing claims
