Collin Barter: Yes it makes everyone poor!
Randa Hessell: By definition, the word "progress" means change that is POSITIVE. So, If a big government, heavy tax system that made anyone poor existed, it wouldn't be progressive.
Hans Sachetti: No. All the most disireable countries like Norway and Sweden have the HIGHEST taxes
Ilana Gaster: Since 1980 the economic climate of the US has quintupled. But the backside ninety five% folks, people who paintings for a dwelling, have noticeable none of this acquire. Because it is all long past to the highest one million%. The best one million% have doubled their wealth--no longer sales, WEALTH--and their proportion of possession of this nation a few instances. While operating humans have struggled to stick within the equal location, to preserve up with inflation (as little as it is been). If the earnings were proportionately unfold round, the traditional loved ones sales within the US might be within the low 90Ks as a! substitute than the low 50ks. To my mind-set, if by means of 'capitalism' we imply a process wherein ninety five% of Americans have got to face a gradual, consistent decline of their general of dwelling in order that one million% can double their wealth each and every few years, then I believe we are simply doing it fallacious. For a lot of these many years, the Republicans have adopted a steady planned plan to shift the load of taxation off the wealthy and onto the Middle Class. Your traditional operating man will pay a miles greater percent of his sales in taxes than your traditional millionaire. So why is not going to the wealthy pay their reasonable proportion of taxes? We're no longer pronouncing this may increasingly clear up all our disorders. We're no longer short of the wealthy to pay ALL the taxes. Just equity. What's fallacious with that? Conservatives love to factor out that the highest one million% will pay like 70% of the taxes, a greater proportion than they! did a couple of years in the past. But that is truthfully due! to the fact their wealth has grown so rapidly within the final 30 years that they pay extra in taxes even regardless of giant tax cuts from Reagan and the Bushes. Anyone who elements this out is accused of 'elegance struggle'. eight^P
Derrick Cacioppo: It does help with retail spending but not at all with job growth. Jobs are created by companies, large and small, and people with money to invest in new products or services. Libs call those people the evil rich but they are really the people driving job growth. It makes perfect sense to anyone with a shred of common sense to keep the tax breaks for all income classes.
Hilde Heskett: No, we are sorely overtaxed as it is..
Gene Debell: How will $800 be a "legacy"?Sounds more like the fee you would pay a prostitute...
Melina Minneweather: No, we are badly over taxed as it is. Adding a tax just because you don't want to look at somebody is unreasonable and unfair. Why should the government get more of ! our money, anyway?
Heidy Fujikake: God only knows the number of tax shelters the rich have available to them and don't doubt many utilize them maximally to avoid paying their share. Remember Leona Helmsley's statement in court "Taxes are for little people". The working class in this country will always carry most of the tax burden--- even if the rich are taxed like we are they'll exempt out some new way-- I give more than a third of my income to Uncle Sam--and I'd lay bets the Koch brothers tax bill, after the swiss bank accounts are well padded, all kinds of deductions are lawyered probably don't pay a hundredth of theirs...Show more
Marylee Lucks: Nah, its makes the middle class poor and the poor even poorer. It just makes the rich man leave and take his money and jobs with him.
Nestor Klan: Jobs are created mainly by the middle class since collectively they provide the largest pool of money going back into the economy. When they have more money to spend! it adds up more than cuts for rich people. No one's business is going ! to do well without the middle class supporting it by using the services or buying the goods provided by these businesses. Demand creates jobs. The middle class is the greatest source of demand simply because there are so many people in the middle class.
Curt Broadhead: You're right. It's better for the economy to hand it all over to the government so Public employees can have generous benefits and cushy pensions. No matter how much you make, the Federal government confiscates just enough to force you to keep working, and the plan has us all at each others throats. Thanks, Progressives. They have demanded that the Fed budget double since 1965. I suppose the Liberals don't see any connection with our economic slide since then. We are all paying more taxes than at any time in history, but the average American believes the Liberals when they say the tax rates are lower. It's bull. Deductions have disappeared, and the top 10% of earners pay 70% of the budget. That's a litt! le fact they constantly ignore.
Damaris Weiler: Well certainly if you want to pay off a debt of the moral equivalent of 30 cars per man woman and child the first thing you need to do is "pass" regressive taxes on individuals who have no money ~ and by this means prevent free enterprise from happening and legitimate, nationhood friendly taxes from being raised. Otherwise, we might not be as pathetic when the next invasion comes.I'm simply saying that since it is obvious we couldn't fight WWII today if we had to, that we'd better slim down our capacity to fight a war as quickly as we can. That way our enemies will see that we are getting weaker at such a great rate that it simply doesn't make sense to invade now when obviously 30 years from now any invasion would be like walking into Grenada with a million or so student VISAs. That way the old could not only pass on Federal debts to the young but also the absolute certainty of invasion, humiliation and a likelihood of d! eath by firing squad, within a Communist media blackout....Show more
Craig Virani: No.........We are taxed enough. I am sur if this Obama care goes thru, lap band surgery will be a given.
Robin Marchione: No, but since most of you liberals are green and vegetarians, you should let us conservative rednecks crap in a box after we eat at Western Sizzlin and sell it as tofu! There, there's your tax and dinner in one package!
Davida Gisriel: They do but the effect is small. Tax cuts to the middle and lower income groups are usually small, the Bush ones gave on average about $300 a year in beaks to most people. The US economy is consumer based. When you put more money into the hands of consumers (and the largest majority of consumers are the lower and middle income people), the economy usually responds. The notion that tax cuts to rich stimulate jobs is a often quoted and often proven wrong idea. Demand for products increases jobs, and for demand for a product to increase then the consumers have to have the money to buy the produc! ts. Business owners do not hire more people and that in turn creates demand, that is backwards to reality....Show more
Eva Lichlyter: We need a fat tax, booger, drippy oozy stuff, yellow mustard custard, icky sticky goo taxes!Reach deep into your pockets, we know you have it, fork it over!
Mozell Sponsler: A tax system can overtax anyone into poverty.
Erin Arron: get the political benefits from giving middle class a tax break, but economically, how odes giving a middle class family a few hundred more bucks create jobs or stimulate growth?not to sound elitist but since most jobs are created by those in the upper tax brackets doesn't it make sense to keep the tax burden low on everyone?
Gaylord Barragan: not really if u make a million dollars an pay like 20% taxu make a lot more then someone who makes like 15k an pays like no tax so thats messed up that they are poor cuz there not even close
Kara Tabian: No they should not be forced to pay a "fat! tax" If so then everyone should be obligated to pay this tax. There ar! e some people who are average weight or underweight and because of their very fast metabolism their eating patterns are not physically displayed. It sounds pretty hypocritical and judgmental. We all love to eat as humans and Americans. I feel that everyone should be discouraged from eating unhealthy and encouraged to eat healthy snacks like fruits, vegetables and salads etc. I also feel that maybe if people are so "concerned" then they should stop selling junk food and snacks at their stores. But we live in a capitalist society and people will try to make a profit off the simplest things. It's just obvious if corporations and individuals truly cared about obese and overweight people's well being then then they would try to help them. If people are hungry or greedy (what ever you call it) they are going to buy food where there is an increased tax on it or NOT. Yes obesity is a disease and is the number one cause for diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol etc. But it can be! reversed if corporations work with individuals to reverse if. If they stopped selling donuts, ice cream, chips and candy we would have no reason to complain anymore. But then all individuals overweight and of weight wouldn't like this idea :(. We all like to eat a little dessert here and now. Hope this helped....Show more
Porfirio Gartland:
Lindsey Zanardi: It makes sense to keep taxes low on everyone. If tax cuts averaged only $100 per person, money available to spend would be 30 billion dollars. If all of the tax money were spent on goods and services, maybe 22 billion would go to wages of the producers.
Alphonso Brake:
Cyndy Grimes: Not really but middle class tax cuts help ease the current struggles of the middle class in difficult economic times. Tax cuts have been shown to be the very ineffective in stimulating growth. The theory about those in the upper brackets creating jobs does not seem to be working out too well. Jobs are created by! the increased demand for goods and services, not by just giving the we! althiest more money. Meanwhile our deficit problems can be somewhat alleviated by returning to the permanent tax rates for the wealthiest taxpayers.
Leontine Kreitz: That is why I decided not to get rich, if I did I would have to pay all those taxes and then I would be poor.
Paul Maymi: No, but it can't make the poor rich, either. The rich will simply stop producing taxable income and total tax revenues will go down. Cole: I hate to burst you bubble but the tax system is very progressive. The top 1% pay 39% of the taxes. The top 50% pay 96%.
Eulah Hugill: Yes. Tax an extra dollar on every six-pack of Coke.Oh, wait... obesity is a genetic disorder and we shouldn't punish people for things they can't help, right? I get so confused.
Lizzette Wendroth: Not sure, but it sure doesn't hurt. Government has more than enough money as it is. Even if all the middle class gets to keep is a dime, that's a dime that the government doesn't have and doesn't need. ! As Reagan said, the government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem and the best way to keep the government from spending any more is to limit their access to more revenue. Works for people and it works for governments, too.
Tijuana Tatsak: I think we need a stupid tax.
Dorris Homola: If that argument was valid then employment would have gone up under Bush. It did not.Not to mention, you can have a surplus of jobs but if no one is spending it won't matter anyway. Historically the middle class are the biggest consumers, not the rich.
Nancy Mansell: Nope. We need the Fair Tax.
Rickey Vrieze: no effin way...
Shemeka Laker: No ... they want the ordinary Joe to think that a flat rate is fair ... but paying 10% $20 000 is not the same as paying 20% of $200 000 ... !
Bryant Pillitteri: Hardly. There were still rich people in the 1950s when the uppermost tax bracket was 90%.
Ginny Trickett: Tax the fat in food or the fat on people! ? Both are inappropriate I think.I prefer a straight consumption tax. ! Don't tax what people earn, tax what they spend. It's as close as we'll ever come to taxing stupidity.
