So, I got paid
 
My paycheck was $1000.

I took $980 and blew it on what I wanted. Didn't pay my bills--just used it for luxury items and things I wanted.

I then took the last $20 and sat down to pay my bills.
Problem was...I had more bills than money...so I am sitting with a pile of unpaid bills and no way to pay them until next payday.


So...the smart person would realize that you can't just take 98% of your income out of the equation. It won't work. On or off paper.

WHY can't people realize that if you do not tax 98% of the money in this country...that the bills will not get paid???
 

Whore with no shame is trying to make a point.  She IS making a point but I don't think it's the one she wanted to make.

3. How are we not...
 "taxing 98% of the money in the country"?

Please. That is false on its face.

4. The point being that 98% of the money is in the hands of the 1-2% who don't pay taxes. 
 
You know, the ones who have offshored their money, get subsidies, find write offs, etc. They get waivers to not pay taxes as their firms use up infrastructure and services or they move their businesses from state to state. They do not pay anything in proportion to their income. A million dollars a day isn't enough cash flow for them.

They have a religious reason for that way of doing things because it's against God's Will to tax them. Because God gave them the money, and thieving socialist governments and lazy, whining welfare queens are trying to pick their pockets. God is against that theft, too.

So that's why it says 98% of the money in the country.

The other 98% of population are the parasites. They get soaked since they must pay up front with payroll deductions and can't hide their income while they make up excuses to not pay. And they don't have the tax code rigged in their favor like the 1-2% with 98% of the money in this country.

How about them apples?
 

They want this to be true soooo badly.

5. It's pretty stupid to claim...
 
the top 2% pay no taxes whatsoever. Check the tax stats.

6. Which stats are you using? Link????

They're so cute when they try to act intelligent.

There's some more stupid over there but I don't think the thread will go very far.  The OP just has too much stupid.

Democrat tax dodgers?

I don't know of anybody in this country that doesn't pay taxes except GE and some Obama voters.

[franksolich]

Whoa.

Wait.

What?

Surely it's only a transient phenomenon, but there's a primitive stupider than Doug's ex-wife?

[GOBUCKS]

Well, you know DUmmy Horse with no Brain has never received a check for as much as $1000. If she did, she'd move out of that seedy trailer park, into a seedy apartment building. But if she ever did have a thousand bucks in hand, the allocation of funds described in her post would be pretty close to the truth. Most of it would go for weed.

[Ballygrl]

What happens when you run out of people to tax? and why not reign in spending when money is tight?

You already know this, but this needs repeated for the illumination of those who don't.

The unappellated eohippus, the High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives, always tries to give the impression she's a registered nurse at a hospital or clinic.  She never says she is, but tries very hard to give that impression.

She needs to give that impression so as to appear to be an expert on women's health.

The unappellated eohippus might, or might not, actually be a registered nurse.  I dunno.

On the other hand, the High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives, who allegedly works full time--at least she gives that impression--one time a couple of years ago said she made only $24,000 a year.

The unappellated eohippus made that claim by pointing out that the $500 in her share of her medical insurance at work was 25% of her monthly paycheck, which made her monthly paycheck $2,000 a month.

The High Priestess of Moloch to the primitives might, or might not, actually make only $24,000 a year.  I dunno.

But she can't be a full-time registered nurse anywhere, and make only $24,000 a year.

So there's a lie here, but I don't know which is the lie.

I've always suspected her as being a keyboardist in a hospital or medical clinic, in which case that pay would make sense.

She may be an orderly, or maybe work in the hospital laundry, or empty wastebaskets like DUmmy PCIntern, but she sure isn't a registered nurse. Experienced registered nurses are among the most highly sought after professionals in the country. They have difficult, demanding jobs, but are well paid. I'm sure it isn't uncommon for RNs to gross $100K. They don't live in trailer parks.

And they can't even lie intelligently.

Dear Mr. President & Congress, Last year I mismanaged my funds and this year my spouse and I cannot decide on a budget. Until we have come to a unified decision that fits all of our needs and interests, we will have to shut down our checkbook and will no longer be able to pay our taxes. I'm sure you'll understand. Thank you very much for setting an example we can all follow.

Oh dear.

I do believe that the correct figure is 47% of filers that do not pay an income tax. In fact, many get a refund for monies not paid/earned. They are referred to the entitled class. AKA DYUmmies.

For the longest time, I've wondered if the unappellated eohippus isn't one of these "paid trolls" about which the primitives on Skins's island complain. 

A paid troll for the Planned Parenthoodlums, to light hundreds of campfires celebrating abortion, ecstasizing in bloodshed and murder, joyously orgasmic in the dead flesh of infants.

In case one's forgotten, the unappellated eohippus makes even the defrocked warped primitive and the Die alte Sau and the dead Vast Teddy look rabidly pro-life, in comparison.

At twenty bucks a shot, that would considerably augment the High Priestess of Moloch's income.

I've wondered about this "paid troll" business ever since something unrelated to celebrating abortion was posted by the unappellated eohippus, probably about three years ago.

I stumbled upon a campfire started by the High Priestess, which involved some complicated economic issue in Cuba.

It was really odd, because the unappellated eohippus had never discussed Cuba on Skins's island before, and the issue seemed too complicated for her cerebral resources.  It was just odd, as if franksolich had posted something here about silkworm breeding in France during the 1850s; something way out of character for him.

I "tracked" the primitive responses, and it looked as if these primitives, none of them well-known or long-time, were coming from the Cuban trade mission (or whatever it is) in Washington, D.C.  The High Priestess couldn't grasp the compexity of the issue, and so the Fidelistas were helping her "understand" it, their real purpose of course being to "illuminate" all the other primitives.

It looked to me as if the unappellated eohippus might've been paid twenty bucks or something, by the socialist interests, to light that bonfire.

I can't imagine that what the DUmmies think would be worth twenty bucks to anyone. It's profitable if someone is running one of the many DUmp donation scams, but otherwise, who cares? It isn't as if the socialists need to campaign for their votes. If anyone would pay a good troll, it would more likely be us, since a skilled troll can prod the DUmbasses into some hilarious exchanges.

Whores ass with no brain,

What if your bills are mostly credit cards you used to buy frivolous crap only you wanted?

Would you demand money from your neighbors to pay your bills?

That is just what Obama's Stimulus plan was all about. Luxury items for those that vote for DemonRats.

I dunno if you were around, sir, at our old home, during the heyday of the High Priestess.

This was when George Bush was in the White House, and Republicans controlled both houses of Congress (although the Supreme Court, then as now, was left of the American mainstream), and all was well with the world.

I'm talking, maybe, January 2005 through mid-summer 2006.

Daily the unappellated eohippus was lighting campfires with flames reaching way up into the sky, exalting in her love for abortion.

If the High Priestess had a personal anthem, it was Abortion uber Alles.

She gave the unmistakeable impression that she actually considered it a duty for women of pregnable age to get pregnant as many times as possible, and then have abortions, the more the merrier.

She also gave the unmistakeable impression that she considered the "right" to abortion to supersede all other rights; free speech, religion, freedom of association, a free press, trial by jury, &c., &c., &c.

With the Dems taking control of Congress, the High Priestess quieted down some, but not wholly until the Democrat presidential primaries of 2008, when she was shunned into silence by the 0bamaites.  The unappellated eohippus, being a racist and a sexist, didn't want a black man or a white woman in the White House; she was for whatshisname from North Carolina.

Or perhaps the Planned Parenthoodlums cut their stipend for posting.

Her last big flare-up was when she got all upset and bent out of shape when the then-governor of Alaska refused to have an abortion of a brain-impaired infant.  That really pissed her off, big time.

Except that is not an accurate analogy.

You never had that $1000 paycheck. That belonged to someone else. You got paid twenty dollars and you spent like you had a thousand. Now you're neck deep in debt and your only way out is to take some of that other person's money at gunpoint.

Stupid DUmmies. Always believing that all money belongs to the gubmint, and what we keep is only by the good graces of the same.

[Evil_Conservative]

I'm still trying to figure out if a bi-weekly paycheck of $1,000 puts people in the "rich" tax bracket.  I know I shouldn't be trying to understand DUmmies.

[delilahmused]

I'm trying to figure out what blowing all but $20 on a bunch of useless shit and then trying to pay your bills with the money you have left has to do with higher taxes. Why should someone else have to pay more in taxes because she's too irresponsible to pay bills before she plays? Sounds more like "I'm a piss poor money manager and I expect everyone else to pay for my mistakes!" DUmmie logic makes no sense (or cents).
