Seriously though, this is America, we have a progressive tax policy. Greatest nation in the world. If you don’t like it, you can get out.[/quote]
Non-argument.
Well, you could also say, if you’re the bottom 40% and can’t afford to live in america, they can get the fvck out too.
In fact, I think that’s more of a reality than the former…After all, the same people that make up the corporate tax rules and tax rules for the elistist rich have their pockets padded by them…
I think most common people are focusing on the wrong problem. Taxing “people” more isn’t going to do didly.
1. How about government spending less defense
2. How about government spending less social entitlement benefits programs.
3. How about government start actually make some of the corporations that pay no taxes at all pay taxes, like somewhat reforming the expatriation corporate tax rules.
Before asking any one “individual” to “pay more of their fair share”, I think everyone else should be asking our government to fix #1-3 first. Until then, the lower 40% of this nation are going to get continuously squeezed into poverty, and the once was upper middle class gets squeezed down into lower runs of the economic tier.” And for everyone else with any remote shred of wealth (albeit small), will do everything they possibly can to shelter, hide, dodge the system. Because it is everyone is in it for themselves game mode now.
