Liberal billionaires think taxes should be increased on low income Americans.

Here’s where the GOP can attack them for stealing from the poor to give to them.

Oh the irony! Middle class, working stiffs and low income folks hardest hit.

Thanks Mike!

This is less about theft, which it is, than regulating behavior the left doesn’t like. Think soda tax.

God, I despise progressive thinking.

Nobody wants to see the poor have a huge tax burden. That being said you cannot support “Taxation without Representation” or it’s opposite “Representation without taxation”. Many of the problems faced by this nation are from a simple fact that only about 50% of the people pay all of the taxes. The other 50% just vote themselves more money and benefits. In a sense, Government grows because it feeds on tax dollars provided by the 50% whom vote for more taxes. Take away that ‘sheltered status’ and the concept of ‘others peoples money’ and the ship can be righted. So, the poor should be taxed, must feel the burden of Government, for the good of the republic.

While it may not be popular, we need to make sure every american is taxed, so we all feel government.

Bloomberg is your classic limousine riding Liberal. The majority of this country’s folks are no more than bugs that splatter on his windshield.

Look up elitist know-it-all and you’ll see his picture.

Flat tax, 15% everybody pays, dismantles IRS, simplifies the bureaucracy. Wasn’t that a conservative idea?

The liberal retort to that idea was that it is not fair to tax the poor. I know, I have had several arguments with people over that sticking point.

But I still think that a flat tax is a good idea because it gives everybody a chance to participate.

He's right for all the wrong reasons. EVERYONE should have skin in the game. Nearly 50% of the adult population pay, effectively, ZERO taxes.

That's great for the demonrat party; they are its base. Long term, it is a disaster for the future of the republic. We either need to enact a flat tax or consumption tax.

I think taxes should be raised on lower income people, but for different reasons.

If you don’t have skin in the game there is no incentive for you to oppose any increases in government spending.
