Re: I am not the 47%
The real portion of those who do not pay taxes and suck of the gov't tit is more like 18%. I too wish they would get of their lazy asses and work. So, I agree with you on that part.

Re: I am not the 47%
I find it incredible that 47% don't pay income tax. I on the other hand make $6100 a month before taxes but only take home 3100 after taxes and other deductions! This system is bullshit I am sick of paying for the other 47% and am not afraid to say it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24418900


You know what? I find this very motivational. I am filled with a desire to go out and get a solid education and become "successful" so that I might make large sums of money to pay to the government, so that they can give my money away to people that didn't work for it! =D

Re: I am not the 47%
After the system collapses and we have to build a new country from the ashes, it should be clear that ONLY THOSE with a vested interest in the game (taxpayers or maybe even landowners) should be allowed to vote.

We have a decent income and about 40% of our income goes straight to the government, and that doesn't count real estate tax and gas tax and utility tax and cell phone tax.

It's obscene.

We're penalizing the producers and rewarding the parasites.

It's so screwed up.

I'm also SICK of it. That woman with her "Obamaphone" last week - it made my stomach flip to look at her wretched mug. She represents all that is wrong with this country.

Obamaphone woman triggered me too. I felt both physically and emotionally sick of it all.

Re: I am not the 47%
My wife and I have a combined household income of about $300,000 and rising. We paid well into the five figures in taxes this past year. But you know what? Our country is $16 trillion in debt. As Reagan ran up deficits and, consequently, the debt during the 1980s, the mantra from fiscal conservatives (which Reagan WASN'T) was, "Our kids and grandkids are going to pay for this!" Guess what? I'm in my mid-30s, I'm the child and/or grandchild of the Reagan-era policy makers that began this run-up of debt, and I can afford to pay my share to get the debt under control.

Tax rates and revenues are near all-time lows. But I can easily afford to pay another $5,000 a year in taxes. 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.

Re: I am not the 47%
Trin had the best idea so far. No income tax, but a consumption tax. National sales tax.

Rich people will still end up paying more, but at least EVERYONE will be paying taxes.

That is a FAIR tax.
 Quoting: *Heisenberg*


Great idea i would support an idea like that. However, think how it would play out in the media. wealthy have thier taxes lowered to 25% while the poor have thier taxes raised to 25%. Even though everyone is paying thier fair share just depends on how much stuff you buy. the media and political party against it would never let it happen.

Re: I am not the 47%
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! All of you!

There's no such thing as a fair tax, it will always be unfair to someone else. That's like those dumbfucks that push for fair market, it makes no sense. For the most part, the tax system is robbery period. They will not simplify it because then they won't be able to rob you all the time so easily. And simplifying it just makes taxation more legitimate and normal, making the crime of tax evasion even more vicious than murder and rape (at least that's how it's slowly turning out to be).

Vote for Gary Johnson he wants to in act the the fair tax.

From
[link to www.garyjohnson2012.com]

THE U.S. TAX SYSTEM IMPOSES AN ENORMOUS toll on productivity through high marginal rates, absurd complexity, loopholes for the well-connected, and incentives for wasteful decisions. A better, fairer system will be:

Abolish the Internal Revenue Service.
Enact the Fair Tax to tax expenditures, rather than income, with a 'prebate' to make spending on basic necessities tax free.
With the Fair Tax, eliminate business taxes, withholding and other levies that penalize productivity, while creating millions of jobs.

How about this, how about freedom, real freedom.

In 1912 there was no federal income tax, so

in 1912 100% of the U.S. population paid nothing in federal income tax.


So in 1912 there was no federal income tax, no national debt, and no federal reserve, now we are taxed slaves.

So, what is your real argument, that you are getting cheated, which you are, or that you want freedom for yourself, and everyone else, or is your argument that you want everyone to be slaves as you are now?

The I suggest you learn how to not pay income taxes or get someone to not pay them for you as a service.

Everything you need to know is here for free.

[link to www.mensbusinessassociation.com]

What I find amazing about most men is they will whine and bitch and moan and complain....but they will not actually DO ANYTHING about it...even when presented with the remedy for FREE.

Here is an example. In the MRA world men bitch, moan and complain about alimony and child support. So I tried on not paying these things LAWFULLY. I even told a family court judge in Ireland that if he issued an order to unlawfully incarcerate me I would kill him.

That was in DECEMBER 2007. Guess what? It is October 2012 and NO ONE HAS TRIED TO ARREST ME. I refused to pay that court order and I will refuse to pay any OTHER court order too.

And what do the whiny bitches in the MRA world say?

"Oh, but if I do not pay the alimony and child support the guvment might hurt me!"

Duh!!!

YES. The guvment will send thugs to hurt you...what are YOU going to do about that?

And of course the whiny bitches say "I want someone else to protect me if the guvment tries to hurt me"

If anyone wants to learn how to not pay a court order here it is for free. If anyone wants me to help them not pay court orders or income taxes LAWFULLY then feel free to join the MBA and buy that service.

If you don't want to learn for yourself and don't want to pay someone else like me to do the work for you? Just keep paying your income taxes and alimony and child support and STFU...I am tired of hearing whiny bitches whine and bitch.
