Do you know what happens when you cut benefits for a poor person?

They get up off their ass and work harder to get a better job.

Funny how the national unemployment numbers started dropping when those mean old republicans refused to keep indefinitely extending unemployment benefits.

31. its not about money

its about control

the poorer someone is, the less they are able to stand up against the dehumanization that is served up to them

The central organizing principle of the democrat party in a nutshell.

If you want more of something...subsidize it.
That's why the poor should be taxed.
We'd be doing them a favor.
But only if they would actually pay their taxes.

Apple reported the largest net income of any public company in history in the three months to December, as record iPhone sales of 74.5m units beat even the most bullish Wall Street forecasts.

I wonder if this creates a conundrum for DUmmies since they all love Apple but think profit is obscene.

benefits?  that is welfare plain and simple.  It's not something someone has worked for.  You get benefits in exchange for your work.

They are forced to give up 5% more of the money they worked hard to earn.

Keep it up chuckleheads...if your Progressive ideology isn't stopped...pretty soon your welfare check cashing clowns are going to be considered "wealthy" because there's no one else left to tax to fund your lazy asses.

How's that shoe gonna feel when it's on the other foot?  Still gonna whine and moan about people "not paying their fair share"?

Not just that, that's 5% invested in their companies, 5% less they can pay their employees, 5% less they can invest in other companies, 5% less they will spend at the store.  Liberals are so short sighted it amazes me how they don't piss on themselves every time they got to the bathroom.

What happens to the rich when liberals start to tax them out of existence?
They move somewhere they are not crushed by punishing taxes.

We've seen it again and again. Liberal states like New York and California drive people and business out of the state with punishing taxes. Where do those businesses go? They go to states like Texas where people want them and the jobs they bring.

Latest example was France where they tried to punish the rich with a 75% tax...the rich just left.

So the question in the OP really ought to read:
What happens to the poor when a socialist state drives out the rich?
The poor starve.
  the end.

An upper middle class manager becomes a lower middle class worker.
A lower middle class worker loses their job.
A new life saving product is not made.
A factory moves to a business friendly country.

I could keep on going foir days. We have seen what happens in the USA under raise the taxes on the rich under Obama. Lowest employment participation rate recorded, highest number of people and children in poverty, a shrinking middle class, and an overall loss of 5% in the median income of Americans.

Obama was going to try that with taxing 529 plans for college savings. Sure, those plans are used by people making over $100K, but look at what college costs are, and who would be hurt the most by that proposed tax, people making less than $100K.

Liberals have already talked about going after everyone's  retirement accounts and you know why? That is where the big money is.  You could tax the "rich" at 90% and it would not put a dent in the federal deficit. However, if they bumped up everyone's tax rate just a few percentage points, they would see a big windfall in revenue.

Why?  Because the rich know how to protect their money, working people don't have those options and would just have to suck it up.

The average amount of money in a 529 plan is about $20,000.

Do you know what happens to a wealthy person after you raise their taxes by 5%?...they're less motivated to make money by creating more jobs for people.

....and are more motivated to hide their money and cheat on taxes.

33. Yep ...

The difference between rich and wealthy is ... do you have to do anything other than wake up, and, maybe, sign your name, to get money versus actually having to be someplace at an appointed time (with some or a lot of flexibility) and do something (no matter how minimal) once you get there.

I catch a lot of flak here and other places when I say include everyone that receives a W-2 on their primary source of income ... no matter how much they get paid ... as a working class ally ... whether they believe it or not.

numbnuts actually has part of this right.

I've been taught that rich is someone with a lot of money they work for.  Wealthy is someone who doesn't have to go to work due to the assets they have paying them more than they spend.

Here's where the DUmmies need to pay attention;

If I have income producing properties and they produce $2,000/month for me, as long as I keep my bills below $1,200/month I'M WEALTHY!

Of course, I'm the one running the risk on the properties because every once in awhile you accidentally rent to a DUmmie who thinks you owe them a place to live and you have expenses like eviction, and repairs for the holes they knocked in the walls because you asked them to do something like ... oh, I don't know ... pay the f*cking RENT!

Hi5,I agree a flat tax would be more beneficial. But there's no money in simplifying the tax code, so it will not happen unless a true conservative gets elected.

 They also need to have the balls to stand for something that might not get them reelected... And be okay with that.
