Ryan’s Roadmap Loses $2 Trillion In Revenue, 90% Of Americans Would Pay Higher Taxes

[Wild Cobra]

if you make more you pay more. everytime i get a raise i pay more taxes

Duh...

No Sherlock. I said that, and it was within my point, but I guess you are too daft to understand. My point is you shouldn't also have to pay a higher percentage. The rich are already paying more just because they make more.

"if you make more you pay more"

Until you get up to the super rich, where Warren Buffet and friends pay under 20%

Rigging the tax code through over complications and special-interest loopholes/deductions that are barred from the lower 90% because of the legal cost barriers is fundamental to the VRWC hoarding insane amounts of wealth, while the lower 4 quintiles pay a higher percentage, while their working hours get longer and their real income stagnates or decreases.

It will be amusing and digusting, as always, to hear Ryan's lies, slander, and distortions in his response to SOTU.

While dishonestly parading around like some kind of tri-corn-hatted revolutionary to overthrow govt and Take Our Country Back, his tax plan is nothing but handing more wealth to the super-wealthy while ing over everybody else.

America is truly dumb to keep falling for these Repug assholes' lies and snake oil.

But that's not under the "income tax" tables, idiot. There should only be one income tax level. talking about capital gains, ond other taxation cannot be used as an excuse to want top wage earners to pay a marginal rate of 39.6% federal tax.

[Spurminator]

There is only one income tax rate... per range of income. The rich pay the same taxes on the first $80K they make as everyone else.

Stop misinterpreting my obvious play on words.

The elitists see us a peasants. Not me.

I don't think I misinterpreted anything, nor misrepresented your comment.
Maybe you don't know what a peasant is?

From Dictionary.com: a coarse, unsophisticated, boorish, uneducated person of little financial means.

There's obviously social class and financial connotations in the term.

I don't care how much the rich make, I only see it unfair that they get taxed at a higher rate, when they already pay more because they make more. Isn't that fact enough for your side?

And my question had nothing to do with how much they make, nor any sides. My question was:

I never understood why do you care how much the rich pay, after describing yourself as a 'peasant'?
Do you think the rich are going to throw you a bone or something?

Now, I see that your reason is of that of some perceived unfairness. I still don't understand how that unfairness applies you at all. But that's ok I guess.

You don't think the rich are part of the 'elitist' social class you mention above?

Go yourself.

You are either intentionally misinterpreting what I already explained once, or are being a complete ass.

I'll take that as an "I don't know".

[Koolaid_Man]

Well, explain to me then who does the polarizing. It's not the right. We contend we need more tax payers. Most of us contend that everyone should pay taxes, and have those taxes subject to the policies that our elected officials have control over. Control in a way that everyone is treated equal, and that you don't have "special rights" that allow 40%+ of the population not to pay any income tax.

It's this special right not to pay taxes that's wrong. It creates no fiscal responsibility in the people's vote for who they send to office.

you may be part of the right but you're not part of the wealthy class head... what I commend the right on is getting millions of uneducated lay folk to completely vote against their own interests...it is rather astounding...Kudo's to them for pulling that off

A scathing critique of false consciousness. How impeccably collegiate.

10% of the population controls 70% of the wealth in this country. Why shouldn't they pay 70% of the taxes?
