To the Dems, the rich will NEVER pay their fair share no matter how highly they’re taxed. The rich are an easy scapegoat for the moronic left.
Back to this ancient talking-point
“do the rich pay their fair share?”
the rich will pay their fair share only when everything they have is confiscated and placed in government coffers.
(the democrat party is totally insane and populated with psychotic totalitarians.)
IMHO
That's just a start. Assuming that most of those who are getting a free ride will vote democrat, the libs want to increase their numbers from 50% to 60% or higher. Since we all get just one vote, irrespective of our tax contribution, it makes mathematical sense for the socialists to raise the rates on the highest-paying group while eliminating taxes for those in the middle who are still paying something.
Now, do you think the GOP will do anything with these statistics? So far, they’ve missed the boat on everything else, they’ll probably fumble it on this one, too. McCain should hammer BO on this relative to his tax policies!
Fostering a myth is the agenda for people who lack the ability to process the reality of this, or any other, situation. The myth usually works to persuade others who also lack this ability.
In this case, ignorance of the fact that a tax cut is not a welfare program also furthers the myth.
In order for simple minded people to understand a tax cut they would first have to understand that a tax cut is not another welfare program.
John and Bill plan a week-end fishing trip together. They estimate that the cost for the trip will be $100. Rather than contribute $50 each they decide to contribute based on their yearly incomes. John earns considerably more than Bill so he contributes $80 and Bill contributes $20. When they return from their fishing trip they discover they over estimated the cost by $10. How should they divide the $10 left in the kitty?
Has John taken unfair advantage of Bill for receiving $8 of the remaining $10 while Bill only gets $2? Would Bill be justified in complaining? What would be Bill’s justification for complaining?
This explanation will not satisfy the simple minded but it does serve to expose the depth of their simple mindedness.
Yes, the rich pay their “fair share.” We need to start hitting up the “poor” and making them pay their fair share - and the Fair Tax would be a good means of doing so, too!
Fair/Unfair= Subjective.
Right/Wrong= Objective.
Alright, it’s time for someone to post the “Ah, not this shit again photograph. By the way, god morning to all....
Why should people who pay virtually no taxes get a tax break?
Simple as that.
[Perhaps he thinks half the country should pay all the taxes to support the other half.]
Actually I think they want about 40-45% of the country to pay all the taxes for the other 55-60%. They think once they get it to that point they will never lose another election.

Every individual in this country with an income of over $500/yr should be filing a 1040 and paying Federal income tax...even if it’s only $2/yr.This bullbleep of only 66% (or whatever the percentage is)of adults even being required to file is largely responsible for the “sure,I’ll vote to increase *their* taxes” attitude that exists today.
Propose that all wealth over $5 million, including foundations, be taxed at 50% and watch the liberal pigs like kennedy and clinton squeal.
I am sick and tired of hearing this class envy statement. There is no tax on wealth in this country. Therefore, there is no such thing as the rich paying anything based upon their state of being rich. Instead, it is income (i.e. wealth creation) that is being taxed, regardless of their overall wealth.
Someone should ask the Democrats if they really want to tax wealth. It should be interesting to hear responses from John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Ted Kennedy, Maria Cantwell, John Corzine, Hillary Clinton, etc.
You mean the Kennedys? /sarc
“Tax the Rich” is a way of saying, “Tax the hell out of the upper middle class so they won’t get as rich as we are.” This is a tax on the productive money in the economy—money that does not lavish in a some back account but is plowed back into the economy. That is why the really rich in this country despise the upper middle class, they see them as a threat and are way too independent, so they want to tax them into oblivion.
The people who pay no tax on the other hand think that the rich will “pay their fair share.” What a crock, the ultra rich have all kinds of ways to shelter their money. It is the upper middle class that will fork out big time.
