Rand Paul: Have to Cut Taxes on Top 1 Percent or It’s Not a ‘Significant Tax Cut’

“It aint a “ tax cut” if it doesnt cut taxes on the people who pay almost all the taxes”

Yes but, since these people control both parties and do all of the spending then they should pay the taxes. Unless you think government money is well spent, do you? What I have observed is that the more they cut taxes on themselves the more they spend since they don’t have to pay as much.

Even an idiot can see from this bar chart that HHS is out of control.

Yearly spending has doubled too, from 2 trillion to 4 trillion since 2001.

Rather than cut spending, the GOP wants to stick it to MIDDLE CLASS taxpayers THAT ACTUALLY PAY TAXES, give corporations a break (windfall that won't be passed down to employees), and pass it off as a TAX CUT

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!

If you are a wage earner in the top bracket, then why havent you dumped the max into a 401K. $18000 a year is a pretty good start. Also, if you own your own company there are some neat tricks to lower your taxable W-2 income.

A lot of smart farmers are putting things in a family corporation or a trust. That way the death tax does not come into play.

Not only DO they pay the taxes.
They also create most of the JOBS
How many people work for poor folks?

Not as long as they are sending jobs abroad and letting illegal aliens. screw them. they will still work. Actually I will happily lower their taxes once the border is secure and illegals ousted and we are out of nafta and sch. then if we get afair shake fro the corporate media I will consider lowering their taxes. It is time Conservatism works for some one besides the corporate interests. If they ar going to sell out then they should shell out. If you like to see our country so much in debt than by all means give them a tax cut since that just motivates them to spend more.
