flat tax of 15% gets my vote.

flat tax of 15% gets my vote.

And EVERYBODY pays.

Screw the 48% that ain't paying a dime and getting the fruits of the 52% of us that do pay taxes.

Mouth breathers and bottom feeders would riot in the street if they had to pay 15%. Imagine telling someone who makes $30K a year that he has to send $375 a month to the government? They'd go crazy.

But let's not forget that it's ok to do that to someone who makes money because, well "It's fair!".

And you can't throw in the 35% corporate tax and add them to come up with 44% nonsense. Those are 2 separate issues. It is not a double tax.

Wow. I honestly don't know why I read this forum anymore.

For the lulz

What does the fact that 48% don't pay have to do with millionares not paying their fare share? If you think those 48% got it so good then do the same thing and get back to me on that. Also how is it wanting to punish someone by wanting a fair system? And you can't throw in the 35% corporate tax and add them to come up with 44% nonsense. Those are 2 separate issues. It is not a double tax.

I'm extending you a formal offer to come sit in on one of my corporate tax classes with me. I'll even buy you lunch.

You were stunningly absent there for a while; it was probably a bad move to return.

True.

Jody, I'm an idiot and I stick around here because it makes me feel like a mental giant.

[DON SVO]

Wow. I honestly don't know why I read this forum anymore.

There's that "why'd you vote for Obama?" thread I replied to him and others in... it's amazing how some people can literally be A-O-K with taxing the fucking taste out of this "rich" class... and completely ignore reality involving that 48%. It's obscene.

It won't matter, you're dealing with 'entitlement mentality' with that individual.

Yeah, it was.

For my tips... duh!

How is someone not paying anything while others pay millions of dollars "fair"?

Oh I know, in the fantasy land that liberals live in, people with a lot of money didn't work for it, it just landed in their laps. They didn't go to school for years, they didn't eat Ramen noodles and work night jobs. They just woke up like with money. What a fucking joke!

Romney did, but really, I don't care how they got their money. If I got to pay 30% in tax, then it is only fair that they would too. This look what the poor people are doing to dodge the issue is crap.

Oh and it is a double tax. Unless you don't understand anything about the stock market and owning shares.

You are a pure fucking idiot, but I'm sure you hear that at least once a week. Here's the deal. You start playing the stock markets and making money that way, you can get taxed at 15% too!

[GrayStangGT]

How come your logic only goes up the ladder instead of both ways? Why not make everyone pay 30% that would be the true definition of "fair"

Oh I see, your argument makes perfect sense. You pay 30% in tax, they have to pay it as well. Then the poor people at the bottom don't pay shit. Sounds logical and fair to me.

If it is ok for the people at the bottom to pay nothing then why wouldn't it be ok for the people at the top to pay something different as well? Explain that. Let me guess...just "because". You have no logical retort for that beyond the word "because".

Your cartoon makes total sense to someone who knows nothing about stock ownership. It denies the fact that being a shareholder makes you the owner of that tiny part of the company and the money from dividends is ALREADY YOURS.
