    Default Dem Tells Radio Host You Dont Deserve To Keep All The Money You Earn

    I love itr when libs are asked simple and sirect questions. They get angry, they spin, and they do all they can NOT to answer the question

    Bottom line is, libs want to rape you for as much in taxes as they can possible get and never want to cut spending

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    her answer was reasonable. the marginal tax rates have always been an element in the political dialog... just as the extent of government funding for the programs she mentioned have also been an element in the political dialog. There ARE things that we, as a society, decide to accomplish collectively. Some of us want more government involvement in certain areas and some want less. That isn't news and it isn't rocket science.

    This lady sounds like a fucking idiot grasping for answers and yet refuses to give a direct answer at the same time. Typical scum dem using obfuscation rather than giving a direct answer.

    Stupid question was stupid.

    Anyone who thinks they do deserve to keep all the money they earn are idiots.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    It's not the governments money. The government didn't earn it.

    no one is suggesting that it is not appropriate to keep the money that you earn.... it is reasonable to expect to have to contribute SOME of what you earn to the common coffers. Do you really expect the military, for example to work for FREE? Police? The intelligent way to look at the issue is to realize that there will always be an ongoing debate as to how much stuff we will do in common and how much we will do separately.

    Some people, for example, don't think that we should collect taxes in order to pay teachers. Others disagree with that. Some feel that healthcare should be nationalized, as it is in nearly every other developed nation in the world, and that healthcare professionals should be paid with money raised through taxes of some sort. Others disagree with that.

    That is the very nature of the ongoing debate in the public square... those clashes of ideas and priorities are the very essence of the democratic process, imho.

    Then you go back to those of us who DO believe taxes should go to pay for these things - but believe everyone should be taxed equally. But no, the dems want to give the majority a free ride and steal money from the rich and other business owners to pay for their never-ending list of pet projects. While at the same time being able to keep a straight face as they triple the use of welfare claims and hand out unemployment on a forever basis, and find other reasons to give money to those who have no intention of working. If the dems stopped forcing the American taxpayers from paying for the American deadbeats to sit back and enjoy life, that alone would probably take a huge chunk out of the debt and tax problems.

    the progressivity of income tax has been accepted by republicans and democrats alike since its very inception. the debate has always centered around the marginal rates that are applied.

    And yet the dems still find a way to steal more and more and more and more and more from the rich, business owners and middle class in order to prop up the deadbeats of society who have no intention on working. A free meal, thanks to the democrats who needed their votes.

    Which means you do not derseve to keep all the money you earn. Again i'mm repeat, anyone who does think they should keep all the money they earn is an idiot.

    Now what the taxes taken should then be spent on is a totally different question, but as to the question "do you deserve to keep all the money you earn" the answer is most certainly no.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
