I'm not sure you tell me? Since your opinion is all the matters I don't care about anyone else.


Can you turn water into wine? Or make horses into unicorns?

MY opinion matters more???
Does my ears deceive me?
I want control over MY life.
I want not to be taxed so much that the Govt steals 30% of MY income.
Only Progressive Window Lickers continue on with this whole notion that American Citizens aren't tax enough.
If YOU want to pay more in taxes, nothing stops you. But, I guess that you need the Govt to direct you in this and YOU want everyone else to pay more as well.
I guess you will just regurgitate that Europeans pay X amount and so on.
If you like THEIR economic system, then why do you reside in the US? Oh, i get it. YOU think that it is unfair or unjust so YOU must press on with the moronic ideals that the US citizen needs to be taxed even more.

And that has what to do with anything ?
Are you attempting to turn this into a religious argument??

Well it sounds a lot like you revere yourself as a being better then the whole, and that only YOU matter. By what you've said you clearly don't care about the population in a whole but just YOURSELF. Am I mistaken? Did my ears deceive me? I don't think so, unless your just going to back peddle on the last 2 pages of posts you've made. This is my assessment thus far: Self absorbed... end of assessment. But don't feel lonely 95% of America would fit into this category, in contrast why all other nations loathe us.

Oh, I get it now. It all makes sense. You are a Collective Progressive, not just a Progressive.
I don't see where it is MY responsibility to take care of others.
I really don't care what the rest of the US population does or thinks.
You on the other hand seem to believe that the collective and/or Govt needs to take care of everyone. I don't think that people are that dumb.

So, because I want to keep more then 70% of MY paycheck I am those items listed? What a disgusting train of thought you have come into.
But again, you think that I and others should care what other countries think of me or others like me???

The UN called, they want their Joker/Clown back.

See I love the labels and again since your so good at giving people ones maybe you get my god associations now if not read a book, expand your mind, do anything except for what your currently doing. I'd give you a label but I think you'd just be lost again and I'd have to find a round about way to explain it to you. Enjoy ignorance and having your self to rely on, it must be lonely, you need a hug.

Then you should hate the Republicans who have raised middle class taxes every year for the last several decades by refusing to allow income tax levels to rise with the rate of inflation.

Your taxes are currently being raised by Republicans in congress.

The answer is to stop voting for republicans.

I agree to a point for local and state taxes. That is the way it is supposed to be.
Property tax is a HUGE load of crap. If you own your property, then why are you yearly taxed for owning it?

Sorry, but the Govt is out of control. It getting more money just leads to it wanting more money after that.


Actually property tax is the tax that makes the most sense to me. The more real estate you own, then the more you should pay to the local authorities. These taxes directly contribute to the township and have the least waste in them.

The higher you go, as with state and federal taxes, the more the corruption and waste. It is the federal government that is totally out of control. I think we should differentiate between local, state and federal as much as possible.

Why are you so condescending? Chill out man. The democrats have made many mistakes and they are NOT left by any definition. It is true I hate the republicans more than the democrats but there are 10 parties to choose from.

Doesn't calling liberals progressives and conservatives fascists ever get old?

Liberals and conservatives are both capitalists. Progressives are usually for mixed economy socialism and revolutionaries are for communism.

Study history. Fox News and the tea party do not count for much. They are propaganda pieces!

It is like puting a bandaid on a severed torso.

No matter how much money they dump into it it will not help.

The hemorrhaging must be stopped before the wound will heal.

If you really think the current SS idea will be around you are kidding yourself.

The twenty seven year trade deficit with china, the DOD black budget and constant wars are exactly what will destroy america. The trade deficit is in the trillions each year, the DOD black budget is anywhere between $200 bilion to $400 billion and the wars about a trillion per year.

SS and medicare/medicaid funds are constantly diverted to pay for the wars and to pay interest on the federal debt which is nearing $17 trillion as we speak. And oh I forgot the corporate bailouts which are the real entitlements. The same people preaching for self responsibility for the employee are the same people that neglect the corporate bailouts for the employer. If you are too big then you can never fail and if you are too small then you can never succeed.

Republicans and democrats are trolling the boards arguing nonsense among themselves!

Sorry for the late reply.

But I completely agree with you.

I personally noticed the increase. I am a union sheet metal worker. I drive over 120 plus miles a day to whatever job site we have work at. 30$ a week is a full days worth of gas for me.

I personally believe there is no fix to the current problem.

We need to go back to our grassroots constitution and do away with free trade.

But anyways I could go on and on.

Ah, so now a high-wire act performed by the clown.
A hug?? No thanks.
You still were shown to be talking out of both sides of your mouth.
In one statement, I am alone in my thought. In another, 95% of the Country thinks like me.

Oh, coming from you that really doesn't have any affect in life.
You are of the ideal that since one doesn't think like you, they must in turn be uneducated and/or infantile.
Now that is too funny.
So very elitist.

I understand what you are stating and disagree, as that is the Progressive idea of "Fairness".
If you own the land, and paid taxes during the course of the purchase, then how is it even in the world of right or that it is okay that a person be taxed continually every year?

It is like when we have gone on Cruises. They say the price for the cruise is $1999. But, then you get hit with fueling surcharges, port fees, an automatic 15% paid for gratuity to the staff and then additional taxes.

It is a way to nickel and dime people to death.
If the county needs money, then a single source of revenue is to be established, not 2 blatant ones and 10 stealth taxes.

I don't pay tax every year for my TV, or computer.

No, as I have no problem calling people out. That is the problem these days. Everyone, or most people, are of this mindset that you can't be blunt and tell others off, how it is or anything else.
I have no problem being the person to make these statements, and given dirty looks for it.

Ah...kind of. Liberal is a mind set. Conservative is a way of living. Progressive is a thought process to have people controlled by Govt.
Socialism and Communism are failed ideals.

I don't watch Fox. Don't even have cable TV, hell we don't even watch much TV with that.
And believe me, I have studied history, thus the reasoning why myself and many others are stating what we state of the things that are coming.
