47 % of Americans pay no tax.

And that is one reason why the taxation issue is a loser for conservatives. The issues we win on are defense and liberty along with the fact that the government has gotten too big and intrusive. It's about more than just our money now. It's about the money that our children and grandchildren will have to pay.

Since congress is to blame for most of this crisis;;since many of them are millionaires in their own right, pensions will be reduced 90%, for others, 50% no Wash. blah blah should receive over 50,000 a yr. from the taxpayer. ‘’Qualified’’ people would avoid working for the gov’t you say? ‘’ Hey Ethyl, that’s what got us into this mess to start with.’’ We’d be so much better of if they had of avoided it.

Keep in mind that most taxes are hidden. You pay them when you pay for the milk at the grocery store, its embedded int he price. Most people have no clue just how much tax they pay.

Shift the tax toward the rich, it just winds up in the price of milk. You still pay it. The rich don’t pay tax, they collect it.

The 25% are undoubtedly those who live off of our taxes.

That will be the downfall of this country.

It makes me sick with worry, and sad and angry. Very, very angry.

This guy is right on about Obama! Spread these videos around, folks!

The first bit is sarcastic just in case you don’t realize it.

Note that everything this guy predicted a year ago has come true. Finally, his skit on “Wiggers” is hilarious.

If this translates into Democrats being hauled away to the edge of town on a rail, tarred and feathered, and dumped, this nation has a chance to survive.If Democrats survive this November, the United States of America is finished. Get used to it!

It won’t matter. The Democrats will still win in November. The number of completely dependent non-taxpayers will only increase exponentially before the year’s end.

I’d love to see a poll conducted, oh, say about four days from now. Lots of folks are letting the income tax thing get down to the wire this year. Hard times. And they don’t look to get any easier.

If so, then the number of taxpayers supporting the freeloaders will necessarily decrease at an equal rate. Or perhaps a higher rate as more people give up and "go Galt".

No income tax, maybe. Then there are property taxes, excise taxes, fuel taxes, phone taxes, cell phone taxes, sales taxes, etc...lots of 'hidden' taxes, well above and beyond what happens on April 15th. Everything you buy, you will pay part of the FICA costs the employer bears--which are passed on to the consumer.

The hits just keep on coming.

Question: Other than when polls suit them, when has this Jack Squat administration given a crap about polls indicating that the “majority” is against their agenda or an issue?

Example:

Majority were against - Stimulus, GM and Chrysler bailouts, bailout of Wall Street, TARP, ObamaCare, etc., etc., etc.

Guess what happened?

They all passed.............................................

Those 34% who say either we are taxed about the right amount either pay no taxes at all or are trust babies and pay very little taxes.

“I would love to know who that 25% is. The one’s that pay nothing perhaps?”

And they want a raise on their welfare checks.

The remainder don’t pay taxes.

Or need their meds adjusted!

I’m far from rich, but paid 6 figures in tax this year. I’ve had enough! Looking for ways to reduce my income. That means I won’t be paying someone to clean my house, mow my lawn, etc. And that’s before my taxes go up another 5% or so next year (at least that’s the good news from my accountant)
