Before the trolls arrive: let’s have the wealthy pay a fair tax, instead of less than everyone else.And no, that does not kill the economy. Nor does giving the wealthy a tax cut spur the economy. That is proven quite obviously by every tax cut from the Reagan era on.http://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-tax-rates?op=1
Since the raise in incomes in the past 30 years mostly went to the top 2%, with wages on lower earnings stagnant or regressing after health expenditures, it’s clear that top incomes should keep the huge tax cuts from the Bush wonder years, and the deficit should be balanced entirely on the backs of the poor.
I love the fact a 4% increase will kill off all the rich, all investment, and shut down all businesses in the U.S.. Of course defense spending under Boehner goes up another $2 TRILLION, but Santa will bring him the cash to give to GE, Lockheed Martin, and the other contractors, whooppee doo!
To make the gov’t bigger and give more entitlments to those that won’t work because it’s been shown that entitlement benefits are bigger now than having to go WORK for it the old fashion way? No thank you! $168 a day for sitting on your BUTT, whereas the median income person that WORKS makes $137 a day. Buncha leeches…http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/12/07/poor_households_getting_168_in_welfare_per_day_from_taxpayers
good grief forget raising taxes. Cut spending and limit imports. You people foget you give those idiot in" spend a ton" the more they will spend. That is fact.
Even raising the taxes a lot will barely scratch the surface of our deficit, let alone paying off our debt. We’ve got to cut entitlements. Frankly I’m for cutting some defense too.
The best way to afford to buy a new house, car, and airplane, is of course to quit your job, and income, and borrow. THAT is “Reaganomics” and the “no taxes” Republican “plan”, period.
