Instead of expiring the bush tax cuts, just makes tax for everyone else 0%

I think we need more taxes for the military, foreign financial suppport to the Egyption military, and set up bases all over the world with financial aid to all those willing to conform to United States interests.

Or we could just cut the EPA by 25%, Medicare, and all the other wonderful plans to cut the budget.  I hope the credit score of the United Stats doesn't go down in July, but maybe there is an upside to that as well.

I have no idea why anyone in there right mind would be ok with taxes being levied against one person at a higher rate than anyone else. We do need some taxation for defense, but that is about it. We should be giving no foreign aid to other countries regardless of there loyalty. Why not use the proper words to describe our current taxes, legalized robbery at the point of a gun.

> I have no idea why anyone in there right mind would be ok with taxes being levied against one person at a higher rate than anyone else.

The poor are ok with it because they make money rather than pay money.  It is ironic that they sit back and bitch about the rich getting tax breaks.  I'd love to see a flat tax rate for everybody, regardless of income bracket, if for no other reason than to shut up the idiots that cannot do simple math and think the rich are somehow getting a free ride.

> Instead of expiring the bush tax cuts, just makes tax for everyone else 0%

The tax almost everyone else pays is less than 0% (i.e. you make more through entitlements than you pay in taxes).  The lazy deadbeats would end up losing quite a bit of free revenue if your tax rate was 0%.

Suess isn't it funny that the people with a negative tax rate think that they are entitled to someone else's life? If only we could reverse the roles for them just one day. . .

How they spend their own money is none of your fucking business.  The Helmsleys probably paid over a billion dollars in taxes over their lifetimes.

Ummm - sure. I'd be happy to change places with someone making millions off of other people's hard work.  Why would I mind paying taxes on millions?  I already pay a shitload on less than millions.


--------------------
I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Goddamn, could we do that?  Do you have that much money?  Just gift it over for me, and I'll pay taxes on it allllll fucking day.  I for one would LOVE to be able to make enough money to be taxed on it.

Nobody feels entitled to anybody else's life, but why does wealth entitle being a huge fucking prick?

$12 million dollars to a dog?  I don't give a fuck, it isn't my money, but lets be realistic here.  A fucking dog gets left $12 million?  Is it gonna go buy a new Lambo?  Maybe a oceanfront property?  Do you know what could be done with $12 million?  Could probably feed 10,000 hungry Americans for a year or more.

This isn't about people and how they spend their money, this is about people and their system of beliefs that somehow a dog should be left any money.  At least if I inherited $12 million, I would be able to fucking SPEND it...

If you're really a huge prick your money won't do you much good anyway.

The poin is is that it is not yours to do anything with, if I choose to leave seven dollars to my gerbil does it give you a right to spend it. Oh wait NO! I can do whatever I want with MY money.

I don't give a fuck if you left $100 to your gerbil, we're talking about $12,000,000 dollars.  Like I said, I still wouldn't give a fuck if you left your pet goldfish a billion dollars.  It isn't my place to tell you how to allocate your money.  But it brings into question not only intelligence, but your overwhelming sense of greed, and your lack of overall humanity to somehow leave money to something that is completely unable to spend such a wealth.  Instead of an orphanage, or a school, you completely waste the opportunity to do some sort of good for a country that allowed you to live and obtain such wealth.  That is what sickens me.

Ok no one allows you nor anyone else to live. That is an inalienable human right, no one has a right to prevent you from that. One hundred or one billion the premise is the same, you want something for nothing. Yes I do have an overwhelming sense of greed, I want the absolute best for myself and the ones I love, no one else. That is what keeps the advancement of the human race going. GREED is GREAT! Selfishness is a virtue as well, without either we would still be living in caves and eating the daily catch.

That comment above about the good taxpaying Americans? Really??? The large majority of taxpayers get very little in the way of benefits from the taxes paid. However those with a negative tax rate have the most benefit.
