molson_golden2002 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 You make $50,000 you pay $5,000. I make $250,000 and pay $25,000. We both pay an equal 10%. Are you really that dumb? So we are not paying an equal amount, how is that fair? Hint: It's not. Nothing in the world is really fair.
Chef Jim Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 So we are not paying an equal amount, how is that fair? Hint: It's not. Nothing in the world is really fair. The fairest you can get is an equal percentage of income. I guess you really are that dumb.
molson_golden2002 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 The fairest you can get is an equal percentage of income. I guess you really are that dumb. Oh, I see what you are saying, those with the most should pay the most. I like that! It's a nice place to start. I'm glad you have come around to believing in redistributing income, because that's what you just supported.

I'm glad you have come around to believing in redistributing income, because that's what you just supported. No you idiot, we both pay the same...10%. I pay more in dollars but it's equal in percentage of income. It also leaves me a lot more after tax money than you, that's where the socialists like you have the problem. Any tax can be looked at as a redisribution of wealth. I distribute some to you, you distribute some to me. But when politicians want to make the distrubution unfair (one pays a higher percentage of their income than another) that's when I have a problem with it.
molson_golden2002 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 I pay more in dollars Yup, real fair!
elegantelliotoffen Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 But when politicians want to make the distrubution unfair (one pays a higher percentage of their income than another) that's when I have a problem with it. So you believe that there should be no cap on the social security tax?
Chef Jim Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 So you believe that there should be no cap on the social security tax? Only if there's no cap on the benefit.
Chef Jim Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Yup, real fair! I know it's not fair. But that's the penalty I get for making more money.
elegantelliotoffen Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Only if there's no cap on the benefit. Is their a cap on the benefits of being a U.S. citizen?
Chef Jim Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Is their a cap on the benefits of being a U.S. citizen? There's a cap on SS benefits and that's what we're talking about. And by the way there is no cap on the benefits on being a US citizen. But that's my job, not the government. And if you're going to rely on the government to make you life all rosey you're in for a rude awakening. Edited November 11, 2008 by Chef Jim

I'm glad you have come around to believing in redistributing income, because that's what you just supported. You can't even sound intelligent attempting to spin his words. You failed to display your ability to voice support for the idea of unmercifully taxing the wealthier people, what's wrong with you? What ever happened to ignorantly ranting about how rich people don't deserve their money?
blzrul Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Newsweek has an interesting article focused on that pocket of wealth around Fairfield/Greenwich/etc CT. Apparently RICH people voted overwhelmingly to tax themselves. How about that.

What ever happened to ignorantly ranting about how rich people don't deserve their money? Raising the top income tax rate from 35% to 39% is "unmerciful"?
Chef Jim Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Raising the top income tax rate from 35% to 39% is "unmerciful"? No, the fact that's it's going to 39% is.
IDBillzFan Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 No, the fact that's it's going to 39% is. Oh quitcher bitchin'. That's a drop in the bucket for guys like you.
Fingon Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Raising the top income tax rate from 35% to 39% is "unmerciful"? actually, the top rate will be around 50-60%. Obama's plan is to get rid the caps on most taxes like social security, payroll... etc..
Adam Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 He's loonier than usual! Is Rush Limbo--and right wing rdio in general--becoming a major liability for the Republicans? http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/a...,0,800478.story Most of the republicans I know thing Limbaugh is a blowhard who does NOT speak for them. Limbaugh is a hateful POS Raising the top income tax rate from 35% to 39% is "unmerciful"? Mercy is for the weak. We do not train to be merciful here
