“We will never be able to get our country back unless we find some way to tie a valid vote to a positive contribution to our Country.”

Most of these takers do not pay federal taxes. So we have to find ways to make them pay for the government they love.

Republicans should allow gas taxes to be raised, increase taxes for home heating, quadruple entrance fees to National Parks, increase taxes on Starbuck’s coffee beans ( for the sake of the poor coffee picker ), etc. Just increase taxes on their lifestyle and explain it as benefiting some good cause.

I know we will take a hit on some of these taxes, but we all know gas and oil taxes are going up anyway.

I found it funny that universities are having to cut back the hours of professors because they can’t afford Obamacare. That’s the kind of karma payback that might shake them out of their big government reverie.

I want to see a hefty tax on printer’s ink. My contempt for the MSM knows no bounds.

I also like the idea of lower tuition for the hard science courses. To make up for that revenue loss how about quadrupling tuition for journalism and women studies courses ?

You guys get it...

...absolutely, we need a new tax system, preferably, a NST type of tax...

....but, as long as we are stuck with the progressive income tax that we have, the very least that should be done before someone's vote counts is to show a lifetime of positive tax payments. Just saying that payroll taxes count...absolutely does not count.... since they are supposedly paying for a couple of bankrupt "entitlement" programs.

..I want what Pres Zer0 wants...for everybody to pay his fair share....and that means that everybody must pay something...

federal taxes ~ that means Subtitle A—Income Taxes (§§ 1–1564), Subtitle B—Estate and Gift Taxes (§§ 2001–2801), Subtitle C—Employment Taxes (§§ 3101–3510), Subtitle D—Miscellaneous Excise Taxes (§§ 4001–5000C), Subtitle E—Alcohol, Tobacco, and Certain Other Excise Taxes (§§ 5001–5891)

Each of these categories of federal taxation goes on at the citation to list a myriad of federal taxes that fall within the category selected.

NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE escapes federal taxes in this country!

The original claim was about federal income taxes levied on individuals ~ not just federal taxes in general, or taxes in general ~ least you can do is use the 47% claim as originally meant and not this made up thing that people out there are not paying taxes ~ that's just stupid. This is America, not the Khalihari desert where they run around dressed in penis shields and killing small game with small arrows! Those guys don't pay taxes ~ we pay taxes!
