[outpostinmass2]

I’m okay with raising taxes on Democrats.

[dfwgator]

“Don’t tax you, don’t tax me, tax that guy behind the tree.”

[outpostinmass2]

“I am a very generous person, so I believe everyone else needs to pay their fair share,” said Lyle Hartright of Maine. “Everyone that isn’t me, I mean.”

---

Define generous.

[gubamyster]

Why is it satire? It’s the Dim platform - for real.

[Grampa Dave]

Reality of the democRats!

[RinaseaofDs]

That you had to use ‘Satire’ as the first word is understandable, but sad nonetheless. There was a guy on this board who used to make the best satire and would insert that disclaimer in subtly.

He caught me a couple of times.

[Vigilanteman]

Paul is all in favor of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

[FLT-bird]

People have always been only too happy to vote themselves other people’s money.

[digger48]

Sadly, that headline is NOT satire

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman
If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me.

[from occupied ga]

Or to put it another way,

"Those who rob Peter to pay Paul can count on the unqualified support of Paul"

H. L. Mencken

[Grampa Dave]

“People have always been only too happy to vote themselves other people’s money.”

That has worked for DemocRats for about a hundred years along with their lies about us.

[Grampa Dave]

You are correct.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I would tax all foreigners living abroad.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I don’t recall ever seeing a poll done on what people think their own tax rate should be.

[SMARTY]

Right

Anyone suggesting to rob Peter to pay Paul... can pretty much count on the co operation of Paul.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Actual quote from a Millenial grad student as told to NPR:

“I don’t think any of us are trying to deny the ability of capitalism to produce wealth. But after that has happened, after we have created this wealth, we should redistribute it.”

Be very afraid.

[Vigilanteman]

My tax rate should be -5%, just like my 401(k). My company matches up to 5% of my gross wages which I contribute to the 401(k), so the government should match 5% of everything I earn.

Wouldn't that be reasonable as an incentive to keep me in the work force and NOT draw social security now that I am eligible to do so?

[GOPJ]

Explain to citizens that anyone in favor of open borders will be given an ‘extra tax’ splitting the cost of illegals with other ‘believers in illegals rights to live here’.

People who don’t believe in ‘open borders’ will NOT have to pay this tax.

Then ask them to ‘check the box’ on their tax return. It’s time to get everyone on the record.
