and what happens if you continue to raise taxes like prices on stuff say everyone wants a sony playstation 3

Posted in Politics at 11:51 pm by Michael Johnson

we see bears all the time

“It may in some circumstances be right to choose to withold or withdraw treatment, knowing it will possibly, probably, or even certainly result in death.”

or the jews that had hindsight and left

you can kill bears with bolt action rifles

you can never deal in absolutes, but the rewards outweigh the risks

its common knowledge that all gun laws do is make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to own a gun. they do not affect criminals

Eyaw–stick with me on this one

Eyaw_Nayr, it affects law abiding citizens disproportionately

ok

how is that statement characterized as wanting to kill babies?

and only encourages criminals to arm themselves because it makes it easier to abuse the sheep

Today, ACK! What was this about specifically ?

if you want to kill lots of people, you don’t use a gun…you use a bomb or a truck

restricting firearms on the populace is NEVER rewarding, period

is it ok for me to protect myself against wild animals??

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=416003&in_page_id=1770

you do not need a fully automatic ak47 to protect yourself from wild animals

but there is a difference between regulation and banishment. If you essentially eliminated all reasonable methods of procuring weapons you make it harder

the title totatlly missummarizes what was said

Eyaw_Nayr, if every law abiding citizen carried a pistol, and would protect themselves if attacked

then we would have anarchy

herr-I do not have an automatic–wait-the clip holds 10 rounds

are you saying every citizen knows of self control

what would happen to confrontational crimes like rape or car jacking?

in the land of milk and honey? are you that blind?

I don’t trust my fellow citizens with a gun

hehe, oops, M$ flags gmail as a virus…

I find that they are generally idiots

everyone starts off as a law abiding citizen

i don’t trust the government enough to be the only ones WITH guns

so you think your fellow citizens are all morons

criminals (both amateurs and professionals) will ALWAYS find ways of procuring firearms, no matter how much the laws allegedly make it tough to procure those firearms

herr-come steal my car then

and you’re the only one who is smart

Carious,No, You must live exactly how the leftwingers decide you should live and do exactly what they tell you to do, they will decide which rights you can have and which can be denied. They will control every aspect of your decision making, especially if you try to open a buisness, they will even tell you the colors to paint it.

carious i don’t even know what you’re talking about

how can japan function so well ? without guns they have lower unemployment! lower crime rate

We can’t have people with cars, they could kill people…look how many people each year are killed by car accidents and pollution from cars….WE MUST abolish cars….for the children

You think I am joking ? Let me take you to some zoning meetings

A common criminal is going to find it much harder. THe mob is a bit out of the area of this discussion

exactly freetrade-NOT!!

wotgorill key term there being accidents

guns were MADE to kill cars are not

cars are bad

People don’t kill people…cars kill people

But more importantly I trust the government and law enforcement more than I trust citizens

Eyaw_Nayr, adam_mcd, what impact does the conceal carry permit have on crime?

thats like saying WE SHOULD BAN FRENCH BREAD BECAUSE YOU CAN SHOVE IT DOWN SOMEONES MOUTH

cars and influenza

Japanese culture is monolitihic.. For the most part.

in china, you break a law they shoot you and mail your family a bill for the bullet heh

thebarry what relevance does that have to the discussion

almost 80,000 americans per year are killed by them

guns only kill if you shoot accurately :P

japan is unique

Janet-give me your weapon!!

Other cultures in fact are looked down upon as inferior.

true gun control

japan is unique pfft

Carious..over my dead body

exactly same time you get mine

well, conceal carry permits are a form of legal firearm proliferation

no one has offered their views on why japan can function so well, and still ban firearms

you will be dead first… I promise you

True Gun Control is hitting a Gun Grabber double tap and one between the eyes.

what impact do you think they have on crime?

hahahhaha

Besides, why kill with a gun…when a sword makes it more fun and bloodier?

BS-duel?? j/k

so well? is that why their social freedom is so horrid? is that why so many kids commit suicide?

ajofi, 80000 are killed by what?

influenza and car accidents

i would say “liberals” but its much too small of a number.

lolol

restrict civilian gun ownership to bolt action rifles

Freedom obviously gives more opportunity for criminality I will admit that.

wotgorrila when the rapier I think its called the small light weight fighting sword came out in france…..30k deaths that year

how about countries like Britian and Canada who have drastically smaller rates of death by firearms and crime rates overall? The have firearms close to banned, almost completely in britian

But i wouldnt trade freedom for absolute security.

you did by votiong for bush

how many drive by shootings would you see if pablo could only fire 1 round every 5 seconds

um, England has a violent crime rate now over twice that of the US. try again.

Eyaw_Nayr, yes, they banned pistols

AHHHHH I miss the days before guns…..when we rushed at each other with spears and killed hundreds of thousands in a day…none of this pussy war crap with just a couple thousand spread out over years

I dotn want a singapore govt where you can be caned for spitting gum out on the lawm

and what happened to their crime rates Eyaw_Nayr

well no we’ve traded freedom for something far less than absolute security

¦¯¦¿?¿?¦¯¦¿?¿?¦¯¦ IF U LIKE LIFE, DONATE 2 RED CROSS TODAY4! ¦¯¦¿?¿?¦¯¦¿?¿?¦¯¦

border control being a big missing factor

i agree with sending national gaurd to borders

all this money being spent on Iraq instead of protecting our borders

You mean like in Dallas Texas, Nov 22, 1963?

Lupine, We send out most difficult poisoning cases to Scotland yard because they have so much experience with them.

Eyaw_Nayr, that’s a horrible example, violent crime has skyrocketed in countrys that have banned firearms

there is other stuff to worry about. with the dims in power. there will be hillary care/ and this time it may pass

decreased arrests, decreased criminals + terrorists

britain, aus

the fence with mexico is a laughing stock

no i don’t lupine as that was not a drive by shooting in any sense of the word

750 miles out of a 2000 mile border?

ajofi–money is and has been spent protecting our boarders

russia has a horrible crime rate, and they’ve banned pistols as well

no.. it is called the veto

and only 1/2 that has been allocated 325 miles of fencing

it was absolutely in every sense of the word. Oh, and far more disasterious for society as a whole.

hysterical what’s the point

yes but russia cant enfore the law correctly so thats a terrible example

moot point

oh yeah to get people to vote for you as though you’re doing your job but aren’t

russias economy is in the gutter

Actually my neighborhood is safer than many european streets as far as murder goes and I live in the SF bay area, in the urban part center of the bay area

I guess the Uk can’t enforce the law as well?

I contend that Britian and Canada have lower crime rates

how many assasinations do you see like that every day

how can you have a decent infrastructure to deal with crime when yo economy is in the gutter

compared to drive by shootings

we don’t need a fence. just landmine our borders

I agree.. the crime in the UK is *SO TERRIBLE* the police are informed of what crimes NOT to enforce

Eyaw_Nayr, there’s another possibility here

Granted UK crime rates have risen, but they are not higher than the US

the same money is being spent, not more

In Amerrica the truth is murders are very area specific.

if i want small government and low taxes and freedom to own guns, which party should i vote for?

Eyaw_Nayr, you might be wrong about guns being the problem

it WAS a drive by shooting, dumb ass. Are you so fucking ignorant that you dont know HOW JFK was assassinated?

And on top of it, most of the recommendations made by the 9/11 Commission still have not been implemented.

none currently.

lupine are you implying that someone drove by JFK’s car and shot into it while moving

Lupine, it was a cia plot led by Cheney and Bush ;-)

it is the people who use the guns. that is the problem

No. JFK’s car drove by while someone was shooting

This is actually a campaign promise by Pelosi to keep an eye on. She said the 9/11 Commission recommendations, all of them, would be legislated within the first 100 hours. Hours, not days.

so do you agree with killing a man who entered your house late at night?

damn Rove!!

that is not a drive by shooting idiot

hehe

I truely think that the government, by proxy of being elected officals, generall know better than the average citizen. The government should do whats right for the people.

if that man is not someone who is invited, sure.

a man breaks into my house at night-he gets carried out

a drive by shooting is when an occupant in a car usually with an automatic weapon drives by his target and shoots from the vehicle’s window

Carious dont you find that draconian?

Drive by shootings appear in gangland, and almost everyone in gangland is a gangster, we have more liberal rights for defendants, We cant hold someone uncharged for a criminal offense a year in jail like they can in the netherlands, A war enemy is a different matter.

not in 63

usually, but not required.

i think college educated people should get an extra vote

a left wing san francisco nut as speaker. stupid voters

Eyaw-I find it hilarious

john locke’s idea

Africa is so much safer without guns…. When they come to burn down your town and chop up your family with machette’s…you can’t shoot yourself by accident

someone shooting into a vehicle from a static position is not a drive by shooting

africas economy is in the gutter

speaking of college, Pelosi has promised cutting college loan interest rates in 1/2 in the first 100 hours.

lets not bring up countries with shitty economies as comparisions

Eyaw_Nayr, doing the right thing is easy, the problem is knowing what is right

i wonder if that’s a fat chance in hell

Carious havent we matured as a race/species past the need for violent solutions to conflict thebarry thats why we have elections

no wai

but i bet it got her more college votes

my rates are at 5.5 % they better go down

I think College educated people should get half a vote unless they continue thier education like I did after college and thru their entire life.

1/2

Eyaw-this is a home invasion-I will shoot the guy

raising taxes is what the dims will do ajofi lol

Peaceful people are easy to beat the crap out of

over the course of the loan, especially if you go to law or medical school, that’s a lot of money

Eyaw_Nayr, Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I say we just add more taxes, around 50% and let the government do what it sees fit. The know better than some redneck who wants to buy more shotguns and not buy healthcare.

dems

Although the gop would win every election if non college students couldnt vote.

so how does a poor child educate himself ?

raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 is what they’re talking about doing

taxes.

people shouldnt be sponging on the gov ajofi

250k and living in NY or Ca is nothing

A child is born to be educated, thats what the 5 senses are for, and the brain.

ajofi, if i own a tractor-trailer

college students get to sponge a little

Quoting CS lewis in a political discussion is not generally a good idea

they are still paying interest

and i make 250k per year should my taxes be raised?

considering that outside of literature he is considered to be a nutcase

Eyaw–when the ENTIRE society becomes “civil” my need to kill your ass will be over

36,000

Education is the most natural thing which happens in a life until someone brainwashes them to stop being educated..

yes, they should be raised

if you make $250k after deductions, yes you should

ajofi

thats like trying to justifyu vietnam

what if i pay 70k in fuel

so in otherwards, you dont care about the rights of the rich.

it’s deductible

pelosi is making mutha majority leader. lol

and 50k per year for the tractor

i said after deductions

adam-you want to break into my house at night?

and 10k per year for insurance

Lt Col Gordon R. Roberts received the Medal of Honor March 2, 1971 for actions during the battle for Hamburger Hill July 11 1969. Then Specialist 4th Class Roberts and his company were sent to relieve another company that was surrounded by NVA. His company came under attack and took cover. Fearing his company would take serious casualties SP4 Roberts charged and eliminated 3 of 4 enemy gun positions. Taking fire from a 4th he evacuated wounded from the unit he was to have relieved. He took a break in service, finished college, joined the National Guard and became an officer. In 1991 he went back on active duty, did a tour of duty in Iraq and is now stationed at Fort Bragg.

it’s deductible nimrod!

http://patriotguard.org/Portals/0/pictures/ltc%20roberts%20cmh.jpg

and then i pay 40k in taxes should i pay more?

invest in municipal bonds tax free, high returns noob

you’re not reading what i’m saying

noob=culture

with the dims in office. you will pay more thebarry

so you can just shut up now and go ignore someone else

40k in taxes out of 250k is ridicliously low

thats like 19 percent

dems

thebarry you should pay at least 90k

should be paying a third

you said after deductions, a small biz still pays taxes on everything

yea

Lupine,Now that is an amerrican hero, he should get 2 votes.

third

hell even a third is low hell koreans pay a third in taxes south koreans

yea

and theyre the most capitalist fucks out there

AFTER deductions. a small business gets to deduct the things you mentioned as expenses for their business.

yea-lets make it 75%

how much do you pay?

yea! ass rape them MORE!!!

lets make it 40 percent

people who make $250k of income pay around 40% on average in this country, all-told

and we’ll still be below australia

it’s called alternative minimum tax

I was going to say 45

how much do you pay in taxes ajofi? Eyaw_Nayr?

soutlaw–then add state taxes and SS and medicare

and that should be overhauled so it doesn’t apply until $250K ok maybe $200K

and the slide begins

I bet I pay more in taxes than you make.

ajofi, Eyaw_Nayr, how much do you pay in taxes?

I live in georgia, which is a state with low income tax and even worse programs for the poor

taxes pay for things, you guys know that right?

there is no need to raise taxes, the government collects plenty of revenue

what is the mcd after your nick. sherman tobacco?

things people do not want to pay for

so I pay about 30k in taxes

I pay a lot of stinking money in taxes.

do you guys want to directly give money to the poor?

taxes, 10%, if its good enough for god its good enough for th government.

no adam

lol-FT

the government needs to spend the money they are given, not spend more than they have and they have no right to take more from us

FT has religion!!!

unless we let them

youre running in circles

dont raise taxes: cut military spending

hehe

god doesn’t have to pay its employees FreeTrade

need) to spend more then what they are given

I have an idea, shoot anyone who suggests that.

how will they do that

this government is the largest employer in the country

raise taxes

just wondering, the last time two ppl i was talking to wanted to raise taxes, i asked them how much they paid…0…college kids

genius.. thats really smart cut funding for one of the few things the federal government is SUPPOSED to be doing

why should I give money to the poor. for making wrong choices

why do we need 450 bil for the military when our own kids cant get a decent education

how about cutting pork barrel spending and social entitlments

cut military spending is pretty much a death sentence for any politician

here’s a better q

throwing money at education doesn’t do any good either

why do you want to raise taxes?

uh how about ‘to provide for the national defense?’ i thought you had one of those wonderful college educations

Eyaw_Nayr the US federal government should spend exactly $0.00 on education in total.

so people who cant afford to feed their kids can get help

we need another clinton in office

we should be cutting back on spending across the board

hmm, so rudy’s setting up an exploratory committee

those people get government assistance already

so you would raise taxes to make more money?

yea.. if they can’t feed their kids.. not only should they NOT have not had them.. HAVE MORE!

I still don’t think he’s gonna run

Chelsey

yea, clone clintion and run him again. I’d vote

that includes bullshit military ventures in parts of the world we have no business being in

Politicians need nicer airplanes

fat cats, bigga fish thats all it is

why should I give money to the poor. for making wrong choices

1/3 of taxes go to pay the annual interest on the national debt

Eyaw_Nayr, what if raising taxes caused you to earn less money from taxes?

sigh

i don’t think rudy has a chance, he’s too liberal on some issues

ajofi cool can you enlighten us on the rest of the ‘given truths?’

mccain says he is running. but I not voting for that fake republican

ohhhhhhh have you heard.. dems want to creat anothen commitee, called ” the perment peace” hahahhahahah

hear that? dems want to fix the country!

we need more committees

oh christ!

Hillary will win the next election

those fags!

I would view it as philantropy as long as it wasn’t going to the military

hahaha Pelosi is behind a guy who told a FBI bribe sting guy that he was interested and to come talk to him later (About a bribe) Yep, She is going to restore confidence in government again.

Eyaw_Nayr, what if raising taxes caused you to earn less money from taxes?

printrock, how is he fake? he’s one of the few truly fiscally conservative republicans left, and he’s really conservative on social issues

kick them out ?!?! why did the democrats win the midterms?!

I would view it as philantropy as long as it wasn’t going to the military

rudy wants all guns to be registered.

you’re not listening

the poor black woman with 3 kids and no father needs it

what if you taxed 20% and made 1 trillion

ok

hillary is unelectable, seriously

you only need like, 50-60k a year to live comfortable in america its all greed after that

and raised taxes to 30%, and made 500billion ?

help her out Eyaw-make it tax deductible

We need to have people register guns, it will make it easier when we round them all up when we ban them

20% should get you almost $2 trillion

who the hell needs a mill a year after taxes

really? you been to the west coast lately?

john edwards or bill richardson of new mexico have a better chance than hillary

adam_mcd, where in america?

This is why I am voting for mcCain. Hes from a state with the most liberal gun laws in the USA you can walk down the street with one, and they have low violent crime.

yes

adam_mod I am SO glad you KNOW what it takes to live comfortably everywhere.. come move to Silicon Valley

not ny

i live in the west coast

the dims will start investing bush and cheney for everything they have ever done. like to many bathroom breaks. thats how nuts the dims are

is it my fault a woman has 3 kids with out a father?

thebarry well in those numbers I would hardly care, but I dont see the practicality of your statement

adam_mcd who the hell are you to say whats enough for everyone?

or Manhattan

why should I have to pay for them not having a father

of course you dont

hmm I need to work on this, BBIAB

columbo, hillary is not unelectable, and neither is anyone who will be the person with a D next to his/her name in 2008… but hillary in particular has a hell of an operation put together and actually knows how to run a good campaign, unlike gore and kerry

i live in washington state. a state that people think is the most taxed state, but it isnt

you don’t have a firm grasp of economics

well-Janet-it’s the thing to do you know

and we high minimum wage, state assistance for alot of colleges

And Arizona, state of McCain, also voted against a gay marriage ban in the state.

Carious, hogwash

we reduced taxes under bush, and tax revenue is up

The Govt should take kids away from single mothers and give them to rich gay couples

I live on the west coast but im normal. not a dim

we’re making more money with lower taxes

she can keep her legs closed

she will mobilize every redneck in the south to sober up and vote against her

bc the economy is doing better

Hilary’s electability is directly related to the Repub nominee, imo - and so far things don’t look good

bc taxes are lower

we need to assist every poor slut in America

what happens if you tax 100%?

heh

Supply-side economics is not an infinitley accessable road then we are socialist

then your ‘experience’ on what it takes to live places is germane to that area.. but its NOT true universally

what happens if you spend more than you tax? you go bankrupt

sorry you initially missed the sarcasm J

reps will never put hillary into the white house

Women need to learn to take a beating and let their man cheat, we wouldn’t have so many single mothers uWomen need to learn to take a beating and let their man cheat, we wouldn’t have so many single mothers/u

no I got it

k

columbo, yeah, and for everyone that hates her, there’s a person that loves her, so it cancels out - but if you’ve seen her in upstate new york, for example, which isn’t exactly friendly democratic territory, she’s managed to genuinely change peoples minds about her - that’s worth noting

wow you answered correctly, nice

our government doesn’t go bankrupt if you haven’t noticed

100% tax = communism

fiat dollar

thebarry yes

thebarry, why not tax at 120% for everything over $100k ?

thebarry and

fiat economy

because it borrows against itself

it’s bankrupt, no one has admitted it yet

wealth tax is the most evil socialist tax

and what happens if you continue to raise taxes (like prices on stuff) say everyone wants a sony playstation 3 at 750 for a bundle how many will buy it for 10,000 a bundle?

if I wanted socialism I would move to france!

and because of the private banks, the interest is piling

you can even lose money and still pay a wealth tax

its not a linear curve

I do NOT want the goverment in MY pocket! it is MY money!

flat tax and term limits

WITH the tax cuts we brought in more real dollars last year than at any time in the past

no it isnt

ajofi, will you stop pming insults to me?

well actually it’s not your money

yes it is

it’s legal theft

I worked for it

or do i need to ignore you?

bun-bun shame you spent even more.

youre living in the country where you worked

you live in the country you benefit from it you get to pay for it

so what

if you don’t you go to jail

that country provided you with schooling, police, hell even land

who do you propose as her running mate? biden? obama? bill? (omg bill)

liona helmsly

with the dims in office. I will just have to hold my nose. cause everything they will touch will stink

legal theft?

the point is, if you want to make more money from taxes right now

you owe that country something

we did not have taxes when this country was founded we should not have them now

sure we did

yea and it sucked

you could argue either lowering taxes or raising them

we just didn’t have an income tax

articles of confederation?

but we still had taxes

didnt have the power to tax, nationally

and the wheel goes round and round

and it failed

bc the last time we lowered taxes, revenue went up

columbo, I don’t necessarily support her at all, I’m just saying, anyone who says she’s unelectable is kidding themselves, and lots of republicans say that too

I do not mind paying a state tax

corporate profits went up, yes

I do not want federal taxes

but did wages go up? no

keep out of my pockets

ajofi my friend

uh yes

hell thats the problem now:

where do you expect the federal government to get the money it spends? bwhere do you expect the federal government to get the money it spends?/b

here in texas we have no income tax at all

corporate profits are going up, wages are not yea we have no income tax here also

Too bad America wasn’t still an English Colony, I wouldn’t mind a high tea tax

which is stupid

income taxes are inefficient

hillary will never be elected pres. unless there is massive voter fraud

why not get rid of all taxes and go back to wild west

wow amazing.. i better double check .. because my wages and basically everyone i know are going up

just use a sales tax

ajofi.. each state shoudl pay their senator and congress person

or property tax so much less paperwork

lets just eliminate the goverment

and give money for the military, thats IT

actually the poor pay more of a percentage with a sales tax

We can just raise tea taxes

nothing elsde

and let people do whatever the hell they want

pay more of a percentage of their income***

Eyaw right

I was being scarcastic

they pay the same percentage

everybody would take care of their business

no they dont

just shut down the corporations

thats stupid

its just a higher percent of their total income

yes thats what i said

the poor get an earned income credit

because people sometimes think things are their busniess when they really arent

thats a regressive tax system

oh so you say that when i pay 8 1/4 that they charge the poor more? oh so you say that when i pay 8 1/4 that they charge the poor more?

which is blatant wealth redistribution ala communism

that isn’t going to happen and you know it

pay more of a percentage of their income***

that doesnt mean they pay a ‘higher’ percentage over all

correct Lupine

Eyaw well those thigns are somebody else’s business and those people will take care of them perfectly

its regressive, nonetheless

the ‘poor’ effectively pay no federal tax

of course I know it.. but that does not mean you have to allow them to keep taking

no, it is a flat rate.

no it isnt lupine a sales tax? its regressive

the american people can say enough is enough

military plus the interest on the national debt is 1/2 the annual federal budget

my opinion of her is just that; an opinion… but i do know a good number of people who dislike her for one reason or another. many many men are not ready for such a powerful women in a position of authority. misogyny is alive and well in america today

yes it is. it is x% for everyone in the same area.

It’s best if we lower the minimum wage and get more people getting healthcare, food stamps and public housing and have the middle class pay for it

so at best federal taxes can be reduced by 1/2

adam_mcd but you are ignorant of what is a flat-fat and what a flat-rate, regressive, etc tax rate is

maybe more

that means getting rid of social security and medicare and that’s never going to happen either

no its not, its flat.. its only regressive if you compare to total income but if you also compare the differentiation in SPENDING at the two levels its pretty damn flat

a sales tax is regressive because the poor pay a higher percentage of their income compared to the rich

wrong flat out wrong

omg

*lol* ignorant of basic economic terms eh?

when the dims cut off financing the iraq war. it will be the end of them

SS.. is something I will never see

are you guys that ignorant

it’s a consumption tax! their income is irrelevant!

Janet-thank you for paying for mine

yes we ALL are that ignorant and YOU are the only one with truth

We could kill the poor, and give their jobs to mexicans

I should not have to pay it.. I have taken care of my retirement

that will not happen. the dems are not that different from your precious republicans

adam is a dim..lol

and what people earn isn’t your business

hahahaha

ya MIGHT take a clue and check your facts

www.google.com look up regressive and sales tax educate oneself

social security isn’t just about your security

if you make $100/year and I make $250k/year. And we both buy a candybar at $1 with 5% sales tax.. you pay $0.05 in sales tax.. I pay $0.05 in sales tax. i.e. equal

Only mexicans should make less then 50K a year

i know! BUT

you pay it so society as a whole is secure

I looked up regressive, and I got a home page for adam_mcd

ajofi.. I do not care about others security

well you do, you just don’t realize it

i use more of my income to pay that tax

they can take care of themselves

he now wnats to ONLY look at the ONE item and your total incomes watch

you pay an equal tax RATE. which means flat tax rate.

thus it is regressive

only wotgorill should make less than 50k per year

make it illegal for Americans to work low paying jobs would help

yes but someone earning 250k a year typically spends most of that.. and THUS its the same percentage

at the time social security was invented manycouldn’t which his why it came to be in the first place

any thoughts on the freeper who got caught sending fake anthrax to people?

no a flat rate is an income tax. percentage out of income

No, a regressive tax rate would be those making who are poor pay 10% sales tax.. and rich folk pay 5% sales tax

sales tax is a regressive tax by definition

5% through out. no sales tax

that’s why i’m here! i’m looking for more freepers

lupine thats not what im saying

no a flat rate is where you say 8.5 percent regardless just like a sales tax

Lupine, obviously you should pay 2,000 times that 5%

are you even listening to what im saying

haha. good name columbo

name a modern democracy that doesn’t have something like social security

yes are you listening to what at least 5 people have told you already?

sales tax is a tax forced on consumers

you can piss your panties all you want.. but we wont believe your claims that it smells good.

the rich do not spend 25% of their income on sales tax like the poor do

Lupine-it’s based on income

so what does that mean

what you’re talking about just isn’t possible

that the rich should spend more to make it a flat rate so you guys can be right?

uh the poor dont either

a fool and his money are soon parted…

reform it, yeah it needs that but getting rid of it entirely? not gonna happen

so a society helping its people is a bad thing+

unless you know a state where sales tax is 25%

please explain ?

total income you douche bag

the tax RATE is not different for differeing income levels in a flat-tax-rate.

get raged

and the rich DO spend more than that in total tax burden

douchebag=culture?

ok follow me on this one

The poor do not spend 25% of thier income on sales tax when sales tax is rarely over 8.5% and many itens are excluded from sales tax specifically for the poor.

cool now you are calling names of people being polite to you?

adam-you want culture??

no helping people is bad

Now dont be stupid.

wow adam is insulting people. typical dim

nah im just gonna put you on ignore

Carious, the guy has been like that since he popped in

I HAVE AN IDEA KILL ALL THE NIGGERS WHOS FATHERS LEFT THEM AND THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING SO THEY ARENT A BURDEN ON THE WHITE FOLK ANYMORE

Bigoted or foul Language w can be wrong, and ignorant here but dont be stupid.

I know Bill

eyaw must be slummy

Another democrat caught in my snare

I’m surprised he’s lasted this long

but it is true-by definition only, a sales tax is regressive

eyaw hasn’t figured it out yet

well not being an op i can /ignore people

what about the guy who said only mexicans should make less than 50k? that’s pretty bigoted

much more peaceful already

im poor. i spend about 25% of my income on a sales tax for goods i need. ok now here somebody who is rich who only pays about 10% of their income on sales tax because even tho he buys more than me, and supplies more tax revenue, he doesnt spend as much in taxes as poor me

You know.. expensive cars, toys typically have the highest sales tax on them.. not many poor buy those.

THAT is a regressive tax

hahahaha.. where the FUCK are you living that you pay a 25% sales tax?

because it isnt equal amount

Colu,mbo, I know who he is and he wasnt serious.

NO 25% OF MY TOTAL INCOM,E

lol

My wife is hispanic black.

feel the rage?? sweet combo FT

it works out in the end to where i spend 25% of total income on sales tax

complaining about the government isnt undemocratic

how do you pay 25% of your total income on sales tax?

adam_mcd, you don’t pay 25% in sales tax.

someone else’s wages are not your concern

carious if you mean adam actually no… ignore’ance is bliss

when there is, say a 8.9% sales tax

adam_mcd pass the blunt, m’kay?

True bigots will not be allowed the luxury of a joke.

excellent

if you make $100 and you’ve paid $25 in sales tax, then you’ve spent more than you make

even if you are buying all Lexus’s.. you aint paying 25% sales tax

the poorest 15% pay 25% of their income in sales tax here in washington state

because there is no other way to spend that much in sales tax

must be net-not gross

i blame republicans for the big taxes

are they all racking up debt?

adam_mcd, nonsense

yea.. he’s lying out his blow hole.. and is too ignorant to relaize his lie isn’t believable.

they are in power

adam must be off his meds

poor people spend a very high percentage of their money on food which has no sale tax on it.

did they do anything? no

adam_mcd sorry, your lies are not believable.

Nobody in america spends 25% of their income on sales tax, you cant possibly do it, you would need a minimum sales tax of 25% somewhere

what did they do?

well instead of saying he’s lying ask him to explain

go gay

we did :-)

wrong. I lived in seattle. the poor don’t pay taxes

well ask again

republicans are a diaspointment

a pack of cigarettes is over 7 bux in new york city…it can be done!

and Florida has no state income tax
