According to plan........................
You heartless, racist, capitalist!...............................I agree......................
“That’s okay. I just paid for half a dozen of them.”
I wrote a check this year that I figure will buy a nice set of 24” rims for the underprivileged.
When are they going to pay their FAIR SHARE for the protection by our military, for use of the interstate roadways, all federal services they enjoy?
Should be 100%. Federal Income Tax is unconstitutional.
That being said, the 45% non-participation rate shows we are in the "bread & circuses" phase of our decline.
And none of them should be eligible to vote IMHO.
This kind of comment just makes conservatives look stupid. The income tax may be immoral, it may be unwise, it may be economically stupid, it may be against the desires of the Founders - but it is not unconstitutional. Why? Because it was added to the Constitution via the method provided by the Founders, the constitutional amendment. We might disagree with it, we might want to repeal it, but please stop saying it is unconstitutional. It is not any more unconstitutional than freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc. - which were also added to the Constitution via the amendment process.

Trump is talking about taking it up to about 50% while Cruz’s plan will take it below 47% by making income about $36000 for families taxable. So Cruz will put more skin in the game.
Damn! Makes me feel good knowing that I’m among the “rich”...
So why do I have to budget my beer money?
Good catch.
I go pick up my taxes from the accountant later today. I’m dragging my feet, wonder why. Perhaps I don’t relish the prospect of my hard-earned dollars being used to recharge umpteen EBT cards and fund umpteen EITC “free money” checks!
I wish I could afford a motor home.
I don't see it happening this year, however, after drawing from my dwindling savings to pay this year's tax bill.
And strangely, not a word of thanks from my neighbor, who has a "Bernie" sign in his yard.
We are fast approaching a situation where more people are going to be sitting in the wagon then there is people pushing the wagon...
More like “Vote for free stuff” and “Eat the rich.”
These are the folks who respond to the politics of envy.
if you ask me, it should be 100%
the income tax is an abomination
This is my brother in law. Self employed, white, early 60’s, and hasn’t filed a tax return in years. Nothing ever happens to him. His wife gets a monthly check for early retirement and she says they take out $100. She figures it’s some kind of penalty for him not filing for years. $100. Big deal. By now he probably owes north of $100,00.
Why should we be forced to pay the feds anything at all? 99% of what they do is either useless or destructive.
