More good news we won't hear in the socialist MSM.

The bad news is that, with so few people really PAYING taxes. "cutting taxes" is a policy tool that appeals to fewer and fewer folks. The tyranny of the majority stands to ensure its grip on ever larger tax revenues, paid by a numeric minority.

The policy of robbing Peter to pay Paul will usually be supported by Paul.

Wasn't there something during the last campaign saying that
one of Mother Teresa's tax returns shows that she paid an effective tax rate of something like 10%?

Rush has a really great pie chart on his web site about this very thing.

Didn't read the article because the consumer pay all the taxes. Corporate, business, or otherwise.

Here is how it works. Say Ripper, the corporation sells a pencil for $1.00 which supports Ripper, the corp, with the paying of all fees, taxes and includes profits. (Including lawsuits). Here comes daddy, big government, and raises their tax which would amount to increasing the cost for the $1.00 pencil to $1.05. Now this $1.05 covers the increase in tax. But the rub is, they raise the $1.00 to $1.06 which the .01 allows new cars for the management etc. GET IT! Consumer pays all taxes!!!!!!!!!

If you don't understand this, then try to explain the FairTax!

Just as important as who pays is that TOTAL receipts from taxes are soaring.

Not only did we pay down the deficit to zero during Jerkoff's tenure, but we'll do it again as the economy booms.

Lowering taxes makes sense.

I am always reminded of Harvard elitism, in relation to tax policy.

Harvard defends their sky-high tuition by claiming that it ensures the super-rich will attend, resulting in massive endowments from those parents and alumni - WHICH ENABLES THEM TO GIVE SCHOLARSHIPS TO UNDERPRIVILEGED MINORITIES...

Sure, it's nothing to do with retaining their 13 billion cash in the bank. They want to help the poor attend Harvard, so they make it unaffordable to the entire middle-class of America.

So there's also that side-benefit of keeping out good average Americans (and their good average values). Only the exploited poor and their wealthy exploiters end up at Harvard.

The tax codes are similarly structured: large revenues (from the very wealthy) ensure an influx of "public sector-ism" into the economy through subsequent govenment spending. Public sector-ism is the figurative noose around the neck of middle-class Americans - financially, morally, and politically. In short, it harms and kills conservatives.

[ Who pays the taxes? ]

Wrong question.. What are taxes is the question.?..

i.e. All Federal, State, County(borough), and local direct taxes, plus all levys, fines, license fees, permit fees, other fees, interest from capital investments, bonds and other deficit spending, tolls, tariffs, and many other regional and national sources..

America is a socialist country NOW and a democracy by default.. The free republic is a myth only entertained here on Free Republic.. Democracy is Mob Rule.. Rule by gangs of connected cabals and their lobbyists.. The States have become merely extensions of the federal government.. Denial about this is the political fog you see on main stream media news.. and how there can be such a thing as a BIG GOVERNMENT REPUBLICAN..
