You either want the minimum wage to be raised or for your pay to go up, it seems to me that you do.

as someone who opposed to income tax; my question, to those who want the tax cuts to stay in place, is what evidence do you have that they have been good for the american economy?
There were no tax cuts. There were rate cuts. Tax receipts rose. Because the economic activity rose.
If you want to raise taxes and think it's such a good idea maybe you should go after the 50% of workers who pay none at all instead of fucking the people who already foot almost all of the bill.
Maybe if people got paid more they would pay taxes 
So what was the point of that post?

For some in this forum, it is to try to have an intelligent debate on different political issues, but you are obviously incapable of that.

That's a ridiculous thing to say. Letting the current tax cuts expire is the same thing as raising taxes. There was never a standard rate of taxation laid out in the constitution, it has constantly been changed throughout the country's history.

u are correct in the last part. ever read "perfectly legal"? it's a book about how that tax shift has happened. before WW2 most of the taxes in the USA were payed by the rich and corporations. after WW2 the majority of the tax burden was shifted to the middle class.
however, in no way is letting a tax cut expire raising taxes, they are being allowed to return to the original rate. they were sold to the american public as temporary after all.

Bullshit, they weren't sold to the american public. They were sold to politicians in power. It was only made temporary to give it a chance at passing through the house and senate.

The top 10% of income earner pay 68% of the taxes.
Quote:

Exactly, they are being allowed to return to the "original" rate. You are knowingly not extending a piece of legislation because you want the tax rate to rise. Also, please explain to me why the previous tax rates are the "correct" ones.

All of my statement was correct, and you didn't respond to my argument as to why it was correct.

you do realize i posted the argument your making before you did right?
if my taxes are cut, and then years later brought back to the same rate they were before the cut, i wouldn't claim my taxes were being raised. it's a very weak point of view.
