Who knows if you made it because of a progressive tax system or not. Maybe it was your parents who benefitted from a progressive tax system. Bottom line is the middle class benefitted from it. Maybe like I'm doing great in a every man for himself society, maybe you would do better too. Who knows. But most would not. And chances like me you made it in a progressive taxed society and you probably don't have a clue how many times it benefitted you. For example did you go to college when it was cheap? I did. A progressive tax made college affordable.If that’s the way republicans make then people will do worse as the rich do better.That’s your greedy and or ignorant way of looking at it.
Our way worked better. New deal to Bill Clinton. You get from bush to now. How are the masses doing?
The greedy way is thinking what someone else earned belongs to you.
I don't give a shit how you're doing. The only people I'm concerned with is me and my family. If you and yours go without, you should try harder and do better. You're not my concern nor should you be.
See? You are responsible for the growing gap between the rich and rest of us. A flat tax is fair but doesn’t work. Not as good as our unfair progressive tax.
Progressive tax is what voters should be voting for.
Unless they’re successful like us
Again, I don't care if you do worse. That's your problem, not mine.
Why wouldn't the poor support a progressive tax. It's easy to support something where you don't pay while believing those that are successful should pay more so your ass can get something for nothing.
Because it works. All the people like you who made it in America made it because there was a progressive tax. Now you want to change the way the game is played after you made it in a more fair system? Typical.
I didn't make it because there was a progressive tax. There you go thinking you have a clue about what it takes to get ahead. Supporting a progressive tax system proves you think others owe you something. The poor think someone owes them something. That's why they support it because they get something they didn't earn and someone of which they're jealous is supposed to pay for it.
Usually it doesn't take very long to figure out when/where/how a Republican is full of shit. I don't know you so I would be guessing. And I don't want to get to know you enough to be able to expose you.
Bottom line, your way of thinking is dumb and doesn't work as well as our way. Our way produced a middle class the world has never seen before. Unless you are rich then you are just greedy and a liar.
