So basicly you are the one who doesnt want to pay for the wounded. You people dont honestly think 47% of all people just refuse to work and pay taxes right? Romney just chose 47% because it sounds more impressive then maybe 15% which is more realistic. |

Xcal2k3 User ID: 24629817 United States 10/01/2012 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course we will have rich and poor people. but America was built on the middle class. We no longer have a middle class that is stable and by the end of the day the rich are going to have to be the ones to dish out the money to pay for what ever the government needs to do (War, investments, country wide developments). The rich bastards would be better off raising the minimum wage and letting the middle class work at dead end jobs for 30 plus years and generate a steady income for the government taken out by taxes. What the fuck rich tards, you do not need billions of dollars to live a nice life in this world. It would take just a few rich fucks to donate a few billion to stabalize the middle class and restart the middle class workforce in generating our economy like we have been doing since the early 70s to the late 90s. WTF happen! George W fucking Bush happened and sucked up all that was invested into a war that got us where....????? Where the fuck are we, in a shithole! it doesnt matter how you look at it, if you dont hold atleast a net worth of 5.5million dollars or have a salary of atleast 350k a year, your fucked!

So, please, save the country by raising my taxes. Don't listen to the selfish people who believe that the life we enjoy in America is free. We are all in this together. Some of us can just afford to contribute more than others. I'm all for raising taxes if we cut off social welfare programs as well I say we start taxing that 47% that don't work / pay any taxes no work = no food the easy way to do it would be to eliminate income tax all together and just have a flat national sales tax instead a tax on consumption not earnings then EVERYONE pays their fair share even the concrete jungle bunnies Exactly THIS....^^^ For those that DON'T approve of my use of memes --- FO!

Instead I hardly survive on SSDI, still pay $100/month in Medicare premiums, don't receive food stamps, and live month-to-month. I do remember a country that was good to work in before all our money and jobs got out-sourced overseas by Greedy fuckers like Romney. FUCK Romney and the horse he rode in on. How did he get his wealth? By sticking it to Americans. He claims he is more American and Obama is more European? WEll then why doesn't Romney keep his money in America? More tax shelters for billionaires. That is all Romney is about. Care about America? I think not. 47% or whatever. If you make 6100 and only bring home 3100 you are either incredibly stupid, or else you are single and the "other" deductions you have are not taxes.
