It would be very interesting to know what spending measures Hillary voted for that Schumer voted against.

"first year in Congress by voting for more new government spending than any of her 99 colleagues, an anti-tax group reports. "

Hillary is doing this for the "chil'run" and VOTES that's all it is about that and "your money doesn't belong to you"...it belongs to big government and more social engineering and of course, for herself.

Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds.

Glad to see you are still supporting the liberal and Mr. Frost(D-Texas), Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, in there quest to keep th income/payroll tax system lewislynn.

And the Bush administration is exceeding even that with new programs, new bureacracies, increasing foreign aide and deficit spending....so what's your point?

And even using their demogoguery.

You might note the current(2001) total federal tax rate is 23.6% of gross family income according the Tax Foundation website.

Not the level of burden you imply. But then I'm not a particular fan of Republicans or Dems. I prefer that everyone know what they are really paying in taxes and everyone be hit with the same rate of 23% of their spending instead of 23.6% of their gross income, with a large fraction of the tax burden hidden, which you seem to be in favor of.

Looks like you are in good company however as 70% of the voting public still clamors for more from government looking for the top 40% of taxpayers to foot the bill.

And neither I, Alan Keyes nor Walter Williams see much change in that until the shell game ends.

Walter Williams, World Net Daily, 10-25-2000

According to the most recent U.S. Treasury Department figures, in 1997 the top 1 percent of income-earners (those with income of $250,000 and higher) paid 33 percent of all federal income taxes. The top 5 percent of income-earners ($108,000 and over) paid 52 percent, and the top 50 percent ($36,000 and over) paid 96 percent of income taxes. Guess what the bottom 50 percent of income earners paid?

If you're among those who pay little or no federal income taxes, what do you care about tax cuts? Moreover, if you think tax cuts pose a threat to government handout programs, you might be openly hostile and support Al Gore's silly "risky scheme" talk. So many Americans paying little or no federal taxes makes for a natural spending constituency. It's like me in the restaurant: What do I care about extravagance if you're footing the bill?

Keyes on Taxes & Government Spending:

Alan Keyes Interview with Des Moines Register:

The intent of the structure of the individual income tax is for political and social control not revenue collection. The Individual Income tax is maintained to establish and hold every person in the country perpetual legal jeopardy.

Why not just tax people 100% of their money 100% of the time?

Well here's a better idea. Why not just have the government issue a check to each person for $100,000 every week? There will be no more poor people! We'll all be millionaires!

Clinton set a record, getting a 3 percent rating for her 2001 voting record, the lowest score ever for a freshman and lower than any other senator, according to the National Taxpayers Union.

I'm in total shock, sarcasm.

Y2000 New York received 86 cents for every dollar sent to the federal government.

It think most LA Casino's pay out more than 86 cents for every dollar.

And come time for her to run for re-election, it'll be completely illegal for the National Taxpayers Union to publicize this information...

GOOD JOB, GEORGE!
