The OP is just a link to a Rick Warren quote, typical kpete (cut 'n paste) tactic, he's just looking for a rebuttal.

 I for one would like to see you in particular taxed into OBLIVION.

41. Half of America too poor to pay taxes. The other half ought too be proud for the opportunity
 to show their patriotism in real terms instead of lip service. By paying their fair share.

I wonder if this DUmmy realizes how ironic this statement is.  The other half pays EVERYTHING ALREADY, you dolt! :banghead:

Oh my God, nothing sets them off like Rick Warren.  Their heads are exploding over there, they all look like this :panic: :panic: :panic:

Rick Warren is exactly right.  DUmmies scream for higher taxes all day long.  Why not?  They don't pay them.  They're losers.

7. Bingo.
   
Too poor to pay income taxes. But they still pay sales taxes, property taxes (directly or indirectly as renters), and payroll taxes.

I am so ****ing sick of that right-wing meme.

I'm getting tired of this idiotic talking point.

I'm not sold one way or another on a fair tax but this argument is the best reason to install one.

If there were a tax on stupidity, we could make a mint off of the DUmp.  Then they'd finally be paying THEIR fair share.

If you can afford high speed Internet, satellite TV, smartphone cellphones and fast food at least twice a week, you can afford to pay taxes.  Half of America is not destitute.  I'm tired of the stupid whining and GREED of those who would take from others to fulfill their big government desires.

Join the GOP: We made half of America millionaires...the dems kept the other half poor.

Really?  I thought all of that was supposed to end back in January '09.....   :whatever:

Oh, btw, DUmbass underwear numbers, this is yet another example of your hive of fringe leftists wanting the power of government to "confiscate" a citizen's property.

**** these entitlement-minded leeches. The gall it takes to scream about others not paying their "fair share" when you pay nothing at all is mind-boggling.

There's no reason not to want worthless assholes like this out of our country.

Remember when senator 0bama said that even though the lower capital gains tax brought in more revenue and a higher rate would bring in less, he would raise the rate because....

It would be fair.

Barack Obama also said that many people in this country have more money than they need. 

And who else is sick of hearing about Warren Buffett's secretary?   :argh:

I've been lucky enough to always have had more money than I absolutely had to have. I'm not saying I had a lot of money, just that I could have gotten by on even less money. Now, having said that, I could have used a lot more money. Then I could have spent more money and others around me would have had more money and we all would have been better off...right?

The primitive's argument doesn't wash.

The taxes the primitive lists are state & local. Not federal.

Why doesn't Warren Buffet pay her enough to put her in his tax bracket if he is that concerned for her?

I keep hearing the rich need to pay their fair share, just how much is their fair share anyway?
As it stands now some folks are already paying more than half to the federal and state governments before they see a dime.

I also want to know where the left gets the idea that they are owed by the rich. What have they done to be deserving of the wealth that someone else is making?
I'm not rich probably never will be, yet I don't want to tax the piss out of the rich. I figure I don't like it when almost half my paycheck is confiscated from taxes, and other deductions so why would I want anyone else to have most of their check taken from them?

Isn't Rick Warren the guy who doesn't believe in homosexuality and Obama had him invoke a Prayer at the Inauguration?

Yeah, that's the guy. This is just ONE more reason for the DUmmies to hate him.

You've.Got.To.Be.Kidding.Me.  That video makes my blood boil.  The US of A does not owe Barack's aunt diddly shit.  
As for paying *their fair share*, why did fearless leader BHO take every single allowable deduction on his 2011 taxes, saving himself hundreds of thousands of dollars?
