all i know is Obama aint doing shit but trying to take more of your money period. and give it to the other guy who doesnt want to work for it.

when obama care is implemented its going to cost my employer roughly $60k per restaurant and he owns 20. so if my employer has to pay $1.2 million extra per year. guess who is gonna have to recoup that money. you the consumer. all i know and have ever seen. if we have a group of people who are willing to increase the tax base and keep taxes lower im all for it. after awhile the rich guy we keep trying to take all his fucking money will just go overseas. this isnt a matter of democrat or republican. its a matter of do we want a welfare state or do we want a nation of YOU DONT WORK YOU DONT EAT.......................

Well, I usually get back everything i pay in every year. Even before the tax credits and such, i got back 2/3 or so of what i paid in. Since i pay around 25-30% of my gross income every payday that works out to around 15% actual taxes. So whatever.

I didn't read the article but i assume we are talking about income tax here.

Crazy. Over here you get taxed at 20% for the first €32,800 if you're single, or the first €41,800 if you're married,

then taxed at 41% for all money over that amount. But only over that amount, your €41k is still only 20% taxed.

We don't do a lot of things right over here but at least the rich get taxed fairly...

your tax rate is actually higher depending on the state you live in. and you pay tax on everything you consume.

I've always been for a flat tax for everyone. I don't care if you make 500k or 5k a year. Everybody should pay the exact same rate. No credits. No loopholes. No refunds. No IRS!

Think about it this way. How much is 13.9% of what he makes? How much is 26% of what you make? When you look at the numbers that way, should we go to a Flat-tax system? It wouldn't work because either the people making more money would pay less giving the country less money or those of us that don't make much would have to pay more to equal what they pay and we can't afford it.

ETA: just went and looked at the site and you'll notice they only talk about percentages, no real numbers because the less informed people don't think about it that way.

Example- Someone makes $2 million/yr and pays 13%= $260,000

Someone else makes $35,000/yr and pays 25%= $8750

Still think they aren't paying their fair share?

the flat tax wont work..................heres one reason. lets say theres is a %50 flat tax for everyone. and lets say the middle class business owner makes $300k per year. and may pocket %30 of that $300k he made from his small business. and now we want to tax him %50 of the %30 he made. give me a break.

they the media want you to believe that the ubber rich arent paying shit and they probably are not. but the Obama regime is not targeting the ubber rich. its targeting the middle class. whens the last time you got a job from a poor person. last time i checked its the mom and pops business who keep this economy going.
