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.

They begin to act like DUmmies.
“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

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

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!

That sounds a lot like welfare.

Never heard of 'RO'. Some displaced DUmmy over there is calling himself   'John Galt'?

They have to kidnap poor people to enslave them, instead of just buying them?

Lead by example, Harry.  How 'bout you and John F'n Kerry (who served in Vietnam) chip in an extra 5% on April 15?  Think Gigolo Johnny could talk TeRAAAAAAYsa in upping his allowance?   :rotf:

That's why a fair tax or flat tax would be a good thing. Everyone has a stake in their country and there would be no need for the overlords at the IRS.

Amen!  DUmbasses could have done the same thing with the ACA.  Instead of all this BS, just allow people to write off their insurance premiums on their taxes, just like businesses.

ACA was NEVER about health care or insurance, it's all about CONTROL!

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.
