And that would be lower if all ranchers paid to graze their cattle on federal land. But the RW loons on here feel that a rancher that has a multi-million dollar ranch should not pay his fair share. They should be glad that they are paying it for him....idiots.
I think they always do - eventually.
Back when we had unions and a highly progressive income tax, the middle class paid more as a percentage, yet taxes/gnp was not a lot different.
Historical Source of Revenue as Share of GDP
That's the part the lefties never understand. The percentage of total taxes paid skews towards the top when marginal rates are lowered.

If you don't like the free range laws, get them changed. The guy broke no laws, the govt was trying to create new law without congress. the people won. the constitution won. the tyranical obama govt lost.
ok now tell us why its good that 43% of americans pay nothing towards the expense of government. Do you think those 43% might feel differently about govt waste if some of it was coming out of their pockets?
What was Mitt Romney's effective tax rate? About 16% if memory serves.
Makes it pretty silly to argue that the rich are over taxed.
But I think everyone - even street corner beggars - should pay SOMETHING. Even if it's $2.
That gives them ownership and a greater interest in where our tax dollars go.
The idea that the government has this endless fountain of money has got to stop.
My answer to your question - was already answered.

LOL - he was breaking law - law that congress wrote - think he's gonna get his cows back?
This story just goes to show how violent the takers can get when you try to pry their lips off the government teat.

Romney's taxes were in complete compliance with the US tax code. the tax code was written by the party that has controlled congress for most of the last 75 years, if you don't like what the rich are paying---------------------blame democrats, they made it so.

Look, I apologize for my earlier post which I've deleted. I don't see the logic in your post. The % of total taxes paid by the top skews upwards when the top makes more money than the rest. If you lower the rate from 70% to 28%, the top pays LESS unless it's income arises, roughly, at least 270%

according to the latest reports, he already has them back. no laws were broken by the rancher. the govt backed off because they knew they would lose in court.
try this--------google harry reid and land for solar farms, the guy is as dirty as they come.
57% of American will pay income tax this year.
Where did that statistic come from?

Dude - why are you intent on arguing? I posted an opinion earlier than yours that virtually MIRRORED what you said later.
I have no problem with Romney's effective tax rate - why would you try to pretend that I do? I think anyone who pays more than they are required to is an absolute idiot.
So who and what are you trying to argue with?

Your post pretty much shows us how little you know about the crux of the situation.
Federal Government land is the peoples land. If the federal government develops it for a specific use, so be it. It is used for that purpose. If, however, the federal government claims land as theirs and they do nothing with it, it comes to question as to why they actually took it to begin with...FOR IT IS THE PEOPLES LAND....and until it is developed for a specific use, the people should have access to it.
Seems to me you have forgotten that the government is not just FOR the people....but BY the people.

And not just by this one people who wants to get free feed for his cattle.
He never claimed it was his land
He never denied that he owed grazing fees
He just got his panties in a twist over a bunch of turtles and said he wasn't going to pay what he owed any more.
This isn't a story about governmental abuse. It's not a story about government talking his land (it's not his land). The issue has been decided in the courts many times.
This is a story about a freeloader who threw a hissy fit when he got tossed off the gravy train.

if the tax rates are lowered, there will be more rich people, revenue to the govt will increase, jobs will be created, the deficit will be reduced, unemployment will go down.
this is really not complicated, its just that reality and math fly in the face of liberal philosophy.
