Yeah, they need taxes to support the $3000 a month raise they just voted themselves!
We have never kept all of our money unless you go back a few hundred years. It’s not because we don’t deserve to. It’s because we believe a certain amount of government is a good idea.
where is that damn face-palm graphic when ya need it...??
I'd like to know what a "fair share" is.
I'd like to know who determines that.
I'd like to know why one workers deserves to keep what he earns, and other worker "doesn't deserve" to keep that much.
I've seen the amount of tax revenue which is squeezed out of the top 5% of earners, and I've seen that 47% of the people pay no taxes. I'm not understanding how "fair" this is.
It's the art of picking Winners and losers. It's Favoritism. It's government as a way of rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
It's not American.

This guy would be a real hit at the next TEA Party event.
When you consider socialism, do not fool yourself about its nature. Remember, that there is no such dichotomy as ‘human rights’ versus ‘property rights.’ No human rights can exist without property rights. Since material goods are produced by the mind and effort of individual men, and are needed to sustain their lives, if the producer does not own the result of his effort, he does not own his life. To deny property rights means to turn men into property owned by the state. Whoever claims the ‘right’ to ‘redistribute’ the wealth produced by others is claiming the ‘right’ to treat human beings as chattel. - Ayn Rand”

When youre unemployed, the rest dont mean shit. Without a job, youre nothing.
The KEY MORAL QUESTION here is:
“It’s fine for people to believe THEY are their brother’s keeper and there’s plenty of people who DO take care of each other charitably in the USA, BUT DOES THE GOV’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORCE PEOPLE TO BE THEIR BROTHER’S KEEPER???”
I say no because that’s against the 13th Amendment (It’s INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE!):
AMENDMENT XIII
Passed by Congress January 31, 1865. Ratified December 6, 1865.
Note: A portion of Article IV, section 2, of the Constitution was superseded by the 13th amendment.
Section 1.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
No American taxpeyer should keep “all” of their money and I do not believe that anyone is arguing that they should. Even if we were able to restrain fedzilla back under it’s constitutional bounds, there would STILL be a certain level of government that needed to be paid for.
Flat or fair tax now.
The purpose of taxes is to fund the government. Federal taxes to fund the federal government. State taxes to support the state government. The people are supposed to support themselves. Businesses are supposed to support themselves. Got it?
Anyone with a job doesn’t deserve to keep their money.
Ummmmm.... they don't deserve to keep all THEIR money either??
“Schakowsky also says one reason the 2009 stimulus bill did not succeed was because it was not large enough.”
Yes, and communism didn’t work because it was not done right.
Liberalism in a nutshell.
Hey Schakowsky, we were already given a person who had the cure for cancer ...
... But she was aborted in 1977.
Another communist be*tch.
Wait...is this the same woman whose husband had some ... Erm... Problems with bank fraud and tax evasion???
Time to get rid of this MFer
