And a patronizing cartoon for a five year old may be the preferred method of learning for liberals but normal people find it condescending...Just so you know. ![]() Last Edited by Chris12138 on 12/11/2012 08:00 PM ___________________________________ All I want for Christmas is a reasonably priced GLP membership... |

And they pay half the tax on what they did 50 years ago. At the same time growing their influence on the political system. The social mobility in recent decades fallen significantly, but the problem is not on the political agenda [link to translate.google.dk] DANE |

Even if you taxed 100% of everything over $100,000, you still wouldn't balance the budget. The top few percent pay about 40% of all taxes, I don't see how that isn't paying their fair share. The problem is spending. Nothing more nothing less. As an example, even adjusting for inflation, we spend on average twice the amount per pupil in public school now than we did in 1970. Yet test scores are completely flat and show no signs of improving. |
