Entrepreneurs are taxed up the ass.

Name one.

"Evil" Walmart paid $5.9 Billion in US taxes in 2015

Working class people are taxed up the ass.

For 2015, what percentage of total income did you pay in federal tax?

None of your damned business! It also has nothing to do with the point.

Gas is taxed up the ass.

The national average is $0.48 cents per gallon. Wanna trade that for toll roads everywhere you drive?

You are correct. This is an area that government is supposed to be involved.

Our property is taxed up the ass.

Whats your rate?

Again none of your business but property taxes are necessary for police, fire and schools. These are all necessary services that government is better equipped to handle.

We are forced to purchase insurance at ridiculous and back breaking rates, which means we have less and less for our children and food.

Insurance rates are set by private companies.

1/2 true. While companies set rates, the ACA mandated certain coverage and forced inclusion of plan participants that increase the cost of care. Since the ACA was implemented the average co-insurance has gone from 90% to 70%. In addition the average family deductible has risen sharply. This in addition to the increase on average of almost 45% in premiums.

And our wages aren't low, dumbass. High food costs are created by government interference with production and resource management.

If wages would have risen the same as costs, minimum wage would be $23.50/h

I have only seen this number with regard to productivity. This is a misnomer due to automation of processes and procedures. Computers, dishwashers and mechanical dispensers etc. Where did you find an inflationary correlation?

"Evil" Walmart paid $5.9 Billion in US taxes in 2015

Which is 1.2% of revenue.

None of your damned business! It also has nothing to do with the point.

Why is it when I ask someone who says their over-taxed their percentage of income it's always the same....NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.

Put up, or shut up!

1970 to today: The cost of cars, trucks, food, rent, mortgages, etc.

WHAT?? In 1970 the minimum wage was $1.45/hr using the CPI that would be $8.86/hr in 2015 dollars. Where the hell does $23.50 come from?

What on earth does it matter that $5.9 billion equates to 1.2% of revenue? Revenue is calculated BEFORE costs or expenses are deducted. Your number also includes foreign revenue which should not be taxed by the US. It is still almost $6B!! What does Walmart get for that $6B?

Insurance raises rates, Obama mandates that we pay those rates or get our asses taxed off. Irrefutable.

Insurance companies raised rates to give you back what you originally had before deregulation and to continue record profit taking.

But but but Obama has mandated that we pay whatever they charge or he will tax your ass off. Get it now or do we have to keep repeating the mandate concept to ewe?

But but but most American can obtain a subsidy to help pay for medical insurance. Business receives one, why not you?

So? Subsidies do not neutralize the MANDATE. Got it yet?

A Call to Action



In New York City, over 150,000 children under five are poor. Last year, nearly 20,000 of these children slept in homeless shelters - enough to fill Madison Square Garden. From the moment they're born, children in poverty face an uphill struggle to survive, thrive and learn with so many odds stacked against them.

When will those in Washington agree? Its time raise the min. wage and its time to give hard working, decent folk wages they can live on. Wall street has had nothing but huge wind falls for the last 2 decades, including tax payer bailouts...when does the trickle down occur, Mr. GOP fuck head!!

Let me ask you a few questions. I'll keep it simple.

Under what constitutional authority does the Federal government dictate to workers the limits of pay that they may contract for their labor? Under what constitutional authority does the Federal government dictate to employers the worth of the work they offer? Finally, under what constitutional authority may the Federal government compel employers to support contracted workers beyond not only the worth of the work they offer, but beyond the worker's own efforts to better their subjective predicaments?

Since the Founders never considered such concepts when crafting the Constitution, please provide reference to article, section, and paragraph.

Fair Labor Standards Act - FLSA - 29 U.S. Code Chapter 8 | findUSlaw


Sec. 202. Congressional finding and declaration of policy

(a) The Congress finds that the existence, in industries engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce, of labor conditions detrimental to the maintenance of the minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency, and general well-being of workers
(1) causes commerce and the channels and instrumentalities of commerce to be used to spread and perpetuate such labor conditions among the workers of the several States;
(2) burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce;
(3) constitutes an unfair method of competition in commerce;
(4) leads to labor disputes burdening and obstructing commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce; and
(5) interferes with the orderly and fair marketing of goods in commerce. That Congress further finds that the employment of persons in domestic service in households affects commerce.
(b) It is declared to be the policy of this chapter, through the exercise by Congress of its power to regulate commerce among the several States and with foreign nations, to correct and as rapidly as practicable to eliminate the conditions above referred to in such industries without substantially curtailing employment or earning power.

So that would be Article I, section 8 paragraph 3.

You are mandated to pay into SS and Medicare, this is no difference and if your finding your premiums getting out hand......blame not only the greedy insurance companies, but your GOP congressman for not addressing what clearly was an issue to began with....Insurance companies gouging the american public....a issue you white motherfuckers had no problems with when Obama and the democrats were coming up with ACA.....you idiots were too gotdamn busy opposing the shit!! Blame yourselves, you fuck headS!!

It wouldn't be an issue if the government didn't FORCE us to have insurance.

Providing for the general welfare gives the feds the power to tax

Right, but read it again. I says "provide FOR the general welfare", meaning to maintain circumstances conducive to the general welfare of the nation.

It does not say "PROVIDE general welfare" to individuals, and the Founders never considered such a thing outside of charity.

I dont need to read it again. I am the one that posted it. Welfare is paid for by taxes. It is in the general welfare of this nation that we take care of those that cant or wont take care of themselves or we create a larger problem. Please link to something credible that proves the founders were against this.

Happy to oblige.
Benjamin Franklin

November 27-29 1766

“I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I traveled much, I observed in different countries that the more public provision were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And on the contrary, the less was done for them the more they did for themselves and became richer.”

s0n........when you have a government that is pursuing a trickle-up poverty economic policy, opportunities to move ahead reach the level of being ghey. Wiping out the middle class is the objective of any good progressive and I must say, the strategy is brilliant = eliminates a need for elections. Progressives think a magical world is everybody making $15/hour no matter if you stock the shelves or run the store......which of course is stoopid and which is why less than 20% of the population consider themselves a progressive.
