I keep hearing that 40 to 50% of Americans pay no tax’s at all.
Where are all of these people?
I make less than $50,000 a year and I damned sure pay plenty. I take the Standard deduction each year and Obama wants to take that away from me.
The 40 to 50% who don’t pay anything are what is killing America. Not the Millionairs and Billionairs. Not only don’t they pay they take money away in the form of entitlements and they vote for politicians who have made a career of keeping them living in the style to which we have allowed them to become accustomed.Wide screen TV and an Escalade in the driveway.
No country can survive with half working and half supporting those who will not work.
Obama says he wouldn’t mind paying more. Well Mother Lover, send a check in. I can hardly afford gas to get to the Doctors office,I paid $6.18 for a half gallon of milk and a package of hamburger buns today, and this Chicago scumbag tells me there is no inflation.I am on a fixed income and don’t have any more to give.
Its really sort of a misnomer. Anyone who has a job pays income tax. (we aren't talking about contract labor and such) A Job is defined wherein you work for someone and fill out the IRS forms that deal with deductions. It means your employer takes out x number of dollars based on a formula etc.
So anyone with that type of a job pays income tax, but the government has fixed it so by way of the EIC (earned Income Tax Credit I believe its called) and other such things Folks below a certain income level actually get more refund back than they pay out in deductions.
Then of course you have the welfare class added into the mix. Another shocking issue is that you can make a fairly good income and still qualify for assistance from the government. Free or Reduced school lunch is one such program'
The 40 to 50% who don’t pay anything are what is killing America. Not the Millionairs and Billionairs.
I have to disagree with you on that one. Most of the billionaires are far left marxists who fund organizations which are dedicated to destroying America. Many others use government to fleece real Americans.
..I don't care what stats or figures or charts people come up with..
.I know that we pay tons of taxes from income, to SS to Medicare to phone to cars to fuel to property tax and the list goes on and on...
for that, we have lousy schools....parks that get closed to us....roads that need constant repair...libraries closing early...no free college scholarships because we make "too" much..
stats,charts, etc be damned.....the middle class wage earners are getting shafted....our way of living is decreasing while others are rapidly rising...the "poor" and the rich....I blame them both...
as long as drug reps, as an example, get to deduct their golfing vacations from their taxes because they "meet" with clients, then the tax system is giving the rich way more advantages than the rest of us...
I believe in working hard and getting rewarded....I believe in capitalism....but this country's tax system is shafting most of us....
Fed Reserve lent out $16 Trillion dollars to financial institutions.

Its almost cliche to say the Federal Reserve is out of control.
We have one institution borrowing money like crazy (Congress) another institution printing money like crazy (Fed Reserve.) It all fuels inflation; the five dollar bill is the new one dollar bill.
2012 we need a new president who uses the veto pen often; pledging to veto all debt ceiling increases. And fire Bernanke.
Drive around parts of where you live...certain segments with generalized physical and cultural characteristics do not work much but take the dole
And the Dems want open the gates to increase those numbers
We are at the tipping point
