An eloquent response. Well said.

Why can liberals never seperate needed spending and needless spending? Yes we need a military and infastructure. Government could stop taking so much in taxes of they'd stop wasting money on crap.

There is a difference.

Agreed, in fact I mentioned that.

 

[printcraft]

I’m not pushing for anything. Heck’s fire it’s already taking place. You do realize what different tax brackets mean, don’t you?

Yes, somebody's feeling got made into law. Unjustly. Elections and consequences and all of that. Coming soon to an anus near you.

Thank you sir.

"Right here man..."

 

[hoosierdoc]

Thank you sir.

Seems like you were gone a while but cannon balled back in. Were you temp banned or in jail or something?

Yeah, long ago. By the way DTs plan still includes different tax brackets. Bet you different tax brackets don’t get totally eliminated. How much you want to bet?

Liberals? It seems to me the republicans are very good at adding to the deficit. Trump is advocating tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and corporations and will add to the deficit. The Laffer Curves have NEVER worked.

Even I remember him. Did you know the gal on that show supposedly slept with Paul McCartney? Peggy Lipton, yeah that was her name.

 

[Woobie]

Of course you would. I'm pretty surprised GPIA7RLMNOP or one of our other gamers hasn't posted a screenshot from Zelda by now.

Of course they won't get eliminated, too much emotion involved. Too many people relying on a bloated and overly oppressive government to get off the tit.

And I was beginning to think this thread was only for good for talking about Presidents and Ex-Presidents wives and who looked more manly. Seems as the level of conversation has the potential for more serious conversations after all.

That isn't entirely true, as it is a gross oversimplification.

First, this assumes the tax cuts only had an effect into the first year of the next presidency. It also ignores the fact that Republicans like to spend money on war, which is really freakin expensive and blows the budget, no matter what else is done. Also Bush decided to bail some folks out, which really pushed us over the edge.

Ah well, you win some you lose some. Seems like my side wins this one. Make more, pay more.

Bring me lunch.

It's always been that way. Initial income tax only applied to the very wealthy. Now look at it.

but why should the bottom half pay nothing???

She married Quincy Jones and their daughter played in "Parks and Recreation"....

I like Quincy's dressing for comfort style....

I never said that and that’s not the case. Actually I forget where that point of not paying takes place actually. But usually it’s so low those people probably get more than they would ever put in anyway. At some point when you don’t make but so much taking away makes no sense because you would generally reimburse them more than you could ever tax them.

Explain to me how a flat tax would not require those who make more to pay more? And the tax plan being debated doesn't even approach a flat tax. It is still disproportionate based upon income.
