Howard Dean on Taxes

[Bunnykid68]

Says everyone needs to pay more taxes not just the rich. He is right too, the poor do not pay their fair share at all.

Huh, I'm surprised at his candor.

I was too. I am betting that is about the only thing I can agree with him on.

 

[NYFelon]

I agree with his choice of tie. Subdued but tasteful.

I did not watch the clip as I am short on time. I do agree that the "poor" do not pay their fair share though. At least in Federal Income tax. I do not consider myself "poor" but to many people I guess I would be. But with a stay at home wife and 3 young children I do not pay ANY Federal income tax. I get every penny(sometimes even a little extra with all the upped credits the last few years) back at return time. That is why I am incredulous when everyone wants to crucify the rich. Someone is paying my share already. How much more should they be expected to pay. I would sure miss my big refund at the end of the year but it really isn't right that I pay none while they raise taxes on the people already paying more,

"Tax and spend (grow)" has been the Democrat's mantra for a hundred years, why would they change now? People are just to dumb these days to understand that less government is the ONLY solution.

At least you are not like many I talk to in your very situation that believe they are due everything back while complaining they pay to much in taxes.

Dont worry gang, ALL of us will be paying more taxes soon. Obama care is full of hidden taxes. We are paying some of them now and will be paying more year by year. The cost of the baby boomers as they retire + Govt over spending will be hit us before too long.

As for Howard Dean, one of the few Democrats I have 'some' respect for. Yes that is a nice tie! My dad had one just like it in 1978.

I think in 4 more years the nation will be tired of the "Change" and vote for conservatives

You are dreaming. Unless of course the Republican party offers up a conservative this the next time.

The longer the hard left stays in powerthe less likely the conservatives will return. Human nature being what it is, too many voters will have learned how to vote themselvs lifestyle they are not willing to work for.

You have a good point. We are now at the tipping point with more people being added to the dole one way or other every day.

Sad but true. The conservatives in this country will become like the conservative parties in Europe, consistently pulling about 25-35% of the vote, but never gaining a majority.

I think it is more like once the country turns 4 to 20 million gun owners into Felons they will have a reason to vote with their contraband.

I believe about 48 % of the country still does not pay taxes. Some people like the attitude give me what the country owes me. Why go to work, pay taxes or lift a finger when most of everything can be given to you. (Free cell phones, free money buy what you want, free homes, etc.)Why vote for anyone else when you can vote for people who will give you everything and you do not have to lift a finger.

The flaws intrinsic to socialism/communism are that they fail to account for greed or for laziness. 'Equality' does not miraculously void human nature.
