Not necessarily. Taxation though has the advantage of spreading the cost. The wealthy can contribute to the commonality through tax and if more money is needed for government to function then they should bear the tax burden. Poorer people and the increasingly squeezed middle class, although they have to pay their share of tax, shouldn't have to take the greatest burden. The extremely wealthy can tip a few bucks in to help our their countrypeople I'm sure.Originally Posted by red states rule

Why should a small minority pay the majority of the taxes?
Why should those who use government services the least, pay the most in taxes?

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.

No real reason, "because I said so" is as good as any. No, I'm not being difficult. It just depends on how society wants things to work. There are no natural rules involved, societies work out their taxation rules as it suits them.
But, having said that, the issue of "fairness" comes to mind.
Capacity to pay their fair share. Unless you want an excruciating difficult system of "user pays" you'll go with it.
Because it's not based on use but on need.

So to sum it up - you say whatever is best for the common goood
Is that correct?

Only where the common good is decided in a transparent manner by a democratically elected government which is going to expend those monies, yes.

That idea has failed everywhere it is tried
Capitalism is the best system on the planet - and liberalsim destroys it
I fail to see where the $9 trillion spent on social programs in the last 40 years has made any difference

I love you. Keep thinking that way. As liberals progress the con's become more of an endangered species. I hope I am alive to see you on the list.

If everyone committed to common good in general while maintaining individual progression in particular there would be no Republican Party. Would there? And a show like "Sicko" would have never been necessary much less the enormous success it has had. Don't you think?

It is hard to believe that someone that is as mentally challenged as you can figure out how to turn on a computer. You are the reason that an IQ test should be a prerequisite to vote along with a "paid in full" receipt from the IRS and a photo id. With those restrictions there would never be another yellow bellied democrat elected again.

Mikey Moore...When did he become an expert on Health care and insurance companies..????

I'll do my best to schedule a 1 on 1 debate for you, staphy.
But I seriously doubt if Mikey (as you call him) would give one second to the inane and insane arguments from anyone as ditzy as you demonstrate repeatedly to be.Mikey Moore...When did he become an expert on Health care and insurance companies..????
