I didn't say that. Why can't you just discuss what I actually say, Wayne, and don't skew my words? I didn't say that taxes were skewed FOR the rich. Never have said that. I realize they pay more, and don't think they need to pay more. I think what they pay is fine, actually either the original tax rates before the cuts or after the cuts, if other things are dealt with.

I DO NOT AGREE with tax cuts for any group while we are at war, which we were when Bush enacted the cuts, as there is absolutely no acknowledgement or sacrifice by the majority of the country for the war. We should all sacrifice, and not benefit financially when our country is spending more because our leaders feel we need to be at war.

The reason I post this stuff is in response to YOU, continually complaining about how the rich and upper (whatever) percent are unfairly taxed. I show how our system needs to be progressive, which it is and always has been (to my memory), to adequately fund our way of life.

I've also said (which conservatives never agree to) that I could see a more flat or fair tax, if that is truly what it is for all types of income, inclusive of payroll income, inheritance and investment income. With no deductions for some to benefit and work the system.

How's that? I answered yet another one of your questions. I don't think we need to raise taxes on the rich, but while we're at war, I feel that returning all tax rates to where they were before Bush cut them at a time of war, as WAS HIS PLAN ALL ALONG, is fair. Stop the elective wars, cut costs across the board for government - and not selective areas that suit your individual political agenda, and we can cut taxes for everyone that pays them. Pretty simple, really, IMO.

Fair enough Chad- Glad you got refund on tickets--that would have been a bummer.

--one side note--I am going to have to give Minn an A on freedom issue of guns.

Was doing course for Fla concealed weapns permit last Thusday and found out Minn and Alaska are top 2 states for reciprocal agreements from all other states---Illinois and DC were worse with none.

Stay Warm Buddy--

Here's the problem, doggie -

And here's the solution -

See what happened the last time we tried "trickle-down' in the 1920s?

Now, doggie, I'm going to give you a chance to explain how lowering tax rates for the richest is a good, job-creating thing.

When did we have the best job creation? Why, mercy me, it was in the period from WWII until the early 80s. And what were the top marginal tax rates then?

And what happened after Reagan's voodoo economics trickle down? Job creation went down the crapper.

So...how about you explain, doggie, how cutting taxes for the richest is a good thing. No political slogans or voodoo bullshit. Explain your theory using facts, doggie, FACTS

No answer from doggie? Of course not. :shrug:

The prob is obvious--too many Tramps-Trenchs and Muffins and not enough tax payers to support em.
