I am part of the 53%, we have NEVER (since getting married at 20) paid NO income taxes at all. When Bill Clinton was president we had a son, later a daughter and finally in 1999 our last daughter, my husband was making $25k a year just out of college and I was making a little more than minimum wage, during those years we owed (on top of what was taken out of our checks every paycheck) between $1000 and $1500 a year more every year.

If we were in the same situation now after Bush's evil tax cuts we wouldn't owe anything at the end of the year and most likely get every cent we paid in taxes through out the year back. I'm sure you want to keep his tax cuts for youself but the very people who pay the majority of taxes you want to increase theirs.

Seriously DUmmies, how long do you think this country can survive with half of the country paying no income taxes?  How long do you think this country can survive until we become Greece?  What will you serial victims do when austerity is forced on you?  You will have no marketable skills, no money from the government to eat or have a place to live.  Your "free" government healthcare will have to ration care and your anti-depressants will slowly dry up.  You people act like you are proud to not pay taxes, yet scream "pay your fair share" to the very people who are keeping this country afloat.

I hear Mitt Romney compared to the 1950's frequently by the left. He is so "square" etc.  Yet in the 1950's work, any type of work, was respectable. Being a garbage man, milk man or drug store clerk was a respectable thing. You people feel it is beneath you to do any job that doesn't have a fancy title and a comfortable salary (with outrageous vacations, sick days and bonuses). You would rather sit out your 99 weeks of unemployment then opt for disability rather than take a job that is beneath you.

My husband has worked three jobs at once to make ends meet, I watched kids after I had a stroke to pay medical bills. I highly doubt any of you have done anything even close. You would have ran to the government in situations such as ours. My husband lost his job last year in June (down sizing), an employer he worked for for 17 years. He started out as an industrial designer and worked his way up to VP of product development. He could have taken unemployment, and would have been perfectly fine for him to do so. But he didn't, the day after he was informed about it (they gave him several weeks notice) he started looking for contract work and looking for a permanent job. I know that not everyone can afford to move or can't sell their house but we immediately moved back to Texas because we knew our quality of life, the cost of living and job prospects were better. We made it a priority and made it happen. We lost $100k on our house in CA, the company made us move from Texas two years prior.   We moved to CA because we either had to or my husband would have lost his job.  We moved but he ended up losing his job anyway.

My husband would have been what you people would consider the 1%, he paid more in taxes the last year we lived in CA (fed, state and property taxes combied) than he is currently making at his new job. We have our kids college to pay for (one kid just left for college and another one just moved back home after graduating and not being able to fine a job in his field).  We paid for my husbands degree, took us 10 years to pay it off. I had a stroke in 1995 with no insurance, that is why I watched kids after my stroke, to pay for MY medical bills. It took years but we paid them off. We weren't destitute in any of the above situations because we did what we had to to make it.

Most of you are barely surviving on government assistance, you live for your next crumb from the government. What a sad pathetic way to live.

Edited to add: Cry me a ****ing river DUmmie, "life has thrown you more than a few curve balls". Try being diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease after suffering a stroke at the age of 28, getting pregnant while on methotrexate and never considering abortion, having other chronic auto immune diseases, including one that may cause me to go blind if it doesn't get under control and having your brother die of a drug overdose (his own wife's methadone).  

Or how about my husband, he passed out and had seizure like activity for a few seconds in July. After an MRI and an EEG they couldn't find anything wrong with him yet he can't dive for 6 months. He rides his bike to and from work (15 miles total, not including the train he takes).  Does he whine and claim disability and take a leave of absence from work?  No, he gets up everyday and gets his ass to work.  

Everyone here have personally been thrown "curve balls", everyone has their proverbial cross to bear.  You see yourselves as victims, we see ourselves as living life. You are pathetic.

 I paid 7000+ in property taxes, 10%+sales taxes, and live below the poverty level.

Huh?  How does someone living below the poverty level owe that much in property taxes?

I checked out this "Assburger's Syndrome" on Wikipedia.

Every symptom of this "disease" describes the DUmmies to a "T"!

*BEG quote*

I was thinking about this on the way home from work (dirty word to the DUmmies). BEG is quite right. We are too busy with living life. I have some time to come here, make a few comments, etc. The rest of the time I'm just going about my day. Not worried about what someone else is doing that might, *gasp*, effect someone, some where in a positive or negative way.

The DUmmies, on the other hand, are listless, bored to tears, do-nothings who NEED chaos in their lives so they can think they've actually accomplished something, when, in fact, they've done nothing productive.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

        -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 BC (106-43 BC)

The DUmmies speak about heroes quite frequently.  Heroes, to me, are people who do what has to be done rather than throwing their hands up in despair and crying "Why me?"

That whole response was a great description of people doing what has to be done.  H5  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

2. And damn them for thinking they should have food

I mean seriously, just like Romney felt like the car industry should go broke all these freeloading moochers who have paid state and local taxes and Social Security and Medicare taxes like I've paid for the last thirty years should just be written off. Eat? Why should they eat? I'm sure Queen Ann would be happy to tell them to eat cake.
 
OOPs, I didn't get a stock portfolio from my dad that allowed me not to work in college. In fact, I worked two jobs to make money since I couldn't sell off stock which I didn't have.

If Romney writes a book it'll probably be titled more like this....

"How to take cake from the undeserving lazy"

ETA: or "Let them eat cornbread...OOOPs, it's in your gastank"
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

All the freebies are found under "general welfare".....or at least that's the way DUmmies read it.

Or as Glen Beck says, "the good and plenty clause"  :lol:
