Feisty John McCain works hard, can't score

So if that time comes invest in stock of beer and whatever else lazy jobless non-tax paying people buy because you know they aren't going to keep the money in their savings account.....the money goes out and it flows right back into the hands of the original point of origin...makes perfect sense to me. Kind of like priming a pump to get the flow going....

Are you kidding me? So you're fine with hardworking people having to give their hard earned money to people who are leeches on society? Here's a link from the Treasury.

js-1287: Fact Sheet: <br> Who Pays The Most Individual Income Taxes?

In 2001, the latest year of available data, the top 5 percent of taxpayers paid more than one-half (53.3 percent) of all individual income taxes, but reported roughly one-third (32.0 percent) of income.

The top 1 percent of taxpayers paid 33.9 percent of all individual income taxes in 2001. This group of taxpayers has paid more than 30 percent of individual income taxes since 1995. Moreover, since 1990 this group�s tax share has grown faster than their income share.

How much more would you like them to pay, exactly? Should successful people have to give .70 of every $1.00 to the government which is then give to people who pay NO taxes?

How long does that money stay in their hands? If you don't want your money going to them then pretend all of your money bought a bomb that got dropped on a Pre-School in Iraq or paid for a soldier to get a prosthetic leg after it was blown off by an IED what ever helps you sleep at night.....

I'm still waiting for an answer to my question above. Perhaps you didn't see the data.

If you feel bad about it then offer some rich guy to pay part of his taxes and don't even think about excepting any tax refunds you might get over the next 20 years nor should you take any deductions....

Makes perfect sense to take money from someone's wallet, and give it to another person who did not earn it so he can buy beer?

What exactly gives you the right to take money from someone else and give it to another person. This is theft. When someone is working 20 hours per week to pay their tax bill, while another is getting checks written out to them by the government, this is theft.

Tell you what, go over to a "rich" person's house in your neighborhood, take whatever cash they have in their wallet, and then keep it for yourself, because you make less, and thus you need it more. The police would come and you would be arrested. However, if you do this through legislation it is perfectly legal and moral? Where in the Constitution? WHERE?

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

Think about that one.

Our gov. does a lot of criminal things and no one says shit about it so why start at the Robin Hood issue?

Don't you realize that our system is broken and that we keep putting idiots back in office instead of those who really have a plan to fix things....right now all we can do is keep changing things until something works or until voters realize their is no future in continually voting for a party anymore......

You've failed to address what right you have to take someone else's income and simply give it to another person. Your reasoning seems to be something along the lines of: The government does lots of wrong things, so I don't mind if it does something else wrong!

No, what I said is that no matter how much fuss I make about what our government is doing wrong the majority flock is stuck on a one or the other mentality. Since that's all we're stuck with and since trickle down hasn't worked we might as well try trickle up and see if anything changes. What I've been saying all along is that when you give money to the lower class they end up spending it right away and it ends up right back where it began in a short time....

 

[brogers]

So, use the police power of government to collect someone's money and give it to another outright, for no reason besides "might as well try 'trickle up'"

Have you ever gotten a job from a poor person?

These scumbags are no better than welfare cheats

That includes payments made to ex-CEO Martin Sullivan and another former executive, Joseph Cassano. Also, AIG has canceled the $10 million "golden parachute" of departing CFO Steven Bensinger.
"The old ways of doing business at AIG must end now," said New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who met with AIG's new CEO Thursday.

AIG agreed to curtail its free-spending ways following revelations that company honchos spent $86,000 last week hunting partridges in the English countryside.
Among the 160 proposed junkets chopped:
- A "Best Operator" conference scheduled for Las Vegas, budgeted to cost approximately $750,000.
- A November sales conference at swanky Sea Island, Ga., that would cost about $350,000.
- A January junket to Scottsdale, Ariz., costing about $190,000.
AIG also agreed to issue a new expense policy guidebook and put controls in place to prevent outrages like the $500,000 trip to a swanky California resort that select executives went on just six days after the company got its first $85 billion loan.
