I didn't disregard everything you said. I disagreed with most of what you said, but I didn't disregard it. If you come on FR and spout a lot of nonsense, you have to be ready for people to disagree with you, and to post their disagreements. If that bothers you, don't post such blatant stupidity.
One of the main reasons a lot of people do not pay federal income tax is because of the earned income credit tax credit. Are you willing to do away with that so they pay more Federal income tax? They do still however still pay sales tax.
I have no idea what you're talking about here. Whatever the reason "a lot of people do not pay federal income tax," the result is the same: people who do not pay federal income tax have a vested interest in keeping the tax rates high for those who do pay federal income tax. They constitute a built in perpetual constituency for high taxes, which is what politicians want.
Most people own all of the things you mentioned because of they buy these things on credit that like this country do not pay back.
What is your point here? You're just jabbering.
If we are talking people just on welfare we are talking like $600 a month max and I think that is in California. I don’t know what Suburban areas you can pay rent much less a mortage for whatever is left over from $600 a month.
What is "$600 a month max"? Public assistance in California? Yeah, right.
I do think welfare is a huge problem in this country. I think there are people that leech off of welfare all of their lives and they are the lowest form of human being. That being said, they are far from comfortable.
How "comfortable" is the right degree of "comfort" for people who don't work, can't work, have children, don't educate them, can't educate them, won't keep track of them, won't make them do homework, won't stop them from trashing their neighborhoods, won't stop them from engaging in criminal behavior... How much "comfort" do these people need? What's the "right" amount of comfort? Are they owed a certain degree of comfort by the people who do live responsibly? If so, why?
I was addressing your statement about concerning a large percentage not paying Fed Income Tax. EIC is the reason they do not pay that tax. Are you willing to do away with EIC?
You said that those that don’t pay the federal income tax could afford a plethora of things. I stated that they pay for that on credit and do not pay that back. Has nothing to do with the fact they pay no Fed Tax.
I am actually not going to justify welfare recipients with you. That even I can’t do. They are a scurge but they aren’t the only economical problem this country has.
