Well, you are wrong, the lower 50% will pay it all. Folks who make over
250,000 aren't going to give anything up for the new taxes, they will
just increase their profits and fees to the rest of us until the whole
tax burden falls completely on the lower 50% of income earners. Do you
really think if you raise corporate taxes they are just gonna' reach
into their pockets and pay the difference? Of course not, they will just
increase rates to make up the full difference, every penny of it. In
theory it may sound good to the truly stupid, but in fact, the whole tax
burden will eventually come from those of us who make less than
250,000...
Hey, that gives me an idea.
Raise taxes on the low incomes.
Eliminate taxes on the high incomes.
Then the low incomes won't have money to spend.
But the high incomes will be rolling in dough.
So then they just start giving away stuff to the low incomes.
The low incomes will feel real grateful.
The high incomes will feel real generous.
Very nice feelings all around.
I think that's a good platform for the GOP.
But maybe they already have that, but without the giving stuff away
part. They should adjust that.
I been thinking about all this talk about 43% not paying Fed income tax.
Looks like 50% of all taxpayers have less than $32k income.
But $32k - that's a whole lot of money right there.
Why ain't these cheap *******s paying Fed income tax?
Especially all the ones of them making $10-15k doing them flunky jobs so
they can get their kids fat on junk food and sodee pop.
Then their standard and dependent deductions for expenses adjusts their
gross to nothing, so they skate paying Fed taxes.
What's wrong with these deadbeats?
That's why we should flip the tax structure.
Everybody happier, and healthier kids.
Yep, a nation of boaters.
