Tea Party founder - restrict voting rights to property owners

Salty - you saying everyone grossing $50K is grossly under taxed?

 

Over 60% of wage earners pay no taxes at all.

Many of them receive a bonus welfare check from the treasury at tax time that amounts to about $50 billion a year.

That includes $8-10 billion that goes to fraudulent recipients.

 

Please provide us a link to this information.

 

Your numbers add up to 101% ... must be a mistake there somewhere.

 

The sad thing is that we need to do something to fix this growing problem in America.

The suggested fixes - either the "Fair Tax" or the "Flat Tax" - would address the problem, but they both would take the carrot-and-stick power away from congressmen to garner votes to some degree. Those people in congress don't want to lose their power of manipulating taxes.

If taxes were not so socialistic in nature (and that is exactly what a "progressive tax" system is), we would not have to wonder about people who pay no taxes having the power to cause taxes to go up.

 

People like Wade understand, they just don't care. They think the church and family can pay for everything.

My best friend had a liver transplant a few months ago. The procedure was extremely expensive. Perhaps the church should have had a special offering to raise the half-million dollars he needed.

It is obvious to anyone who can think that many medical procedures cost way more than most families or churches can give. But, this doesn't matter to many who name the name of Christ. They claim to "love" God, but I fear they love their money more.

 

Dig it up yourself. It'll be good for you.:thumbs:

Should be easy to prove me wrong...if I am.

 

I guess you think laziness is a virtue. If you cannot back up what you say, keep your mouth shut!

 

You're making an unfounded assertion on baseless data.

The burden of proof is on you not everyone else.

It's like someone saying: 85% of women in Baptist churches have routine abortions and thus they are hypocrites for being pro-life.

The burden is on you to provide a link, otherwise we all (as we usually do) disregard your point.

 

Prove it.

The cost of the earned income tax credit to taxpayers should be easy to verify.

Why don't you give it a try? I did. Or if you'd rather remain ignorant, go ahead. It's up to you.:thumbs:

Barna claims that only 9% of "born again" adults tithe. If the bottom 50% or 60% don't pay any income tax and if poor people are more generous than rich people then if the income tax was totally eliminate how much would charity giving increase? Would as much as 18% of born again Christians tithe? FAT CHANCE!

And if 80% of born again Christian adults are to cheap to give as little as 10% of their income to help others why does anyone think that medical care could be covered by donations if income taxes were eliminated? Rich non-believers would cover the gap?

 

So your advocating what?
