What i find very funny/ irratating....

That obama will lead you to believe that mitt is going to make it so the "rich" pay very little taxes.. As if its just that easy for the president to make such changes.

But if that was the case, and obama doesnt agree with what mitt paid in taxes,....uhhh.... Why didnt he just change it?

O.. Thats right, cause he falls under the same umbrella and its not so easy to change the tax code

Im all for zero irs.

I remember when i was in the army, talking about supplies that the military bought. Simple stuff like toilet paper.. And bar soap.

Tp was3.50 a roll

A fuckin roll!!

Because within the contract with the supplier that is just what the army was forced to pay.

Its shit like that which really bugs me

The waste and over payment from tax dollars

Imagine if everything was on a common playing field.

We all pay 5% tax.. Period

Fire the irs

Hell, lets dump 1/2 the worthless govt, the guys getting paid 200k per year to analyze the effect of smog from LA on trees in florida

Or all the bullshit about us finding and using our own natural resources for fuel.

Instead we pay 4.50 a galfor gas..

I might regret this comment later, but I say bring back Hillary Clinton. She ran the country for 8 years while Bill sat in his big chair gettin BJs.

One thing that I absolutely cannot stand about Obama is that he trashed the Bush administration for his debt deficit.

Here are the number for Bush and his 8 years in office.

Start(1/1/2001)- 5.6 Trillion debt

Finish(12/31/2008)- 10.6 trillion debt

5 trillion added over 8 years.

Now for Obama

Start- Bush left office with 10.6 Trillion in debt.

Current Date- 16 Trillion in debt.

Obama and his administration have managed to add over 5 trillion in new debt over the last 4 years when it took Bush 8 years to do the same thing.

If we allow Obama to stay in office, the debt wont be our problem, the problem will be that we will be speaking Chinese in 4 years as our primary language!

at the end of the day all of our tax monies regardless of percentages or what have you is going to people that take advantage of the system

rich people find loop holes and clauses and make more money

poor people stay below the poverty level on purposem if uncle same is paying for your housing, food, cell phone day care schooling just as long as you make under X amount.. why the F woiuld you work to improve your pay when EVERYTHING is paid for. And you can sell drugs/ hustle to make money under uncle sams nose for the expensive shit you want in life.

either way the middle is screwed.

[sound.of.life]

what I learnt here is that politics is the same, even if you are on the other side of the globe.

and oh. even my effin eraser is made in china, I feel that one day the slogan "Hand Built in *insert name of country*" will be rare as unicorns

[Namosh]

and if we use a flat tax what would be a good % for everyone to pay to make it equal. and do you believe if someone has more money we should just take it from them.

Somewhere between 10 and 15%....and of course we should not just take money from someone because they have plenty.

[Namosh]

Tax the rich one time and boom our govt has a bunch extra they didnt have before.

Do you have any idea how much 16 trillion dollars is? Even a 100% tax on the super rich would not get the U.S. out of this mess. Tax reform is just one step. The government needs to stop trying to spend their way out of debt.

The rich know all the schemes to avoid taxes. The owner of the company i work for rents his own equipment to himself!! Equipment he already owns he rents to himself and collects taxes on it in the end. Its grimey bullshit. And the clinton statement is spot on. When the law was passed to require work for welfare it almost ended welfare. This country started because we broke from england feeling that the taxes on basic shit were outrageous i.e the boston tea party. We need to go back to our roots for an overturned govmt
