Dem Rep. Quigley on Taxes: ‘If You Love This Country, One of the Things You Do Is Pay Your Fair Share’

[berg80]

Not when this filthy government is a big bloated out of control welfare state

About 11% of the US budget goes to aid needy families and individuals, many of whom have full time or part time jobs.

Millions of full-time U.S. workers receive federal health care and food assistance

Did you know 70% of adults who qualify for Medicaid and food stamps have full time jobs? Perhaps it's time you put away your uninformed, prejudiced ideas about welfare recipients and learn something about them.

If people work a 40 hour week and find themselves alone in poverty then they are doing other things wrongly that put them there.
You all weep that any working person should be able to have their own home and car and gobs of children, all hunky dory. That’s a lovely, wishful sentiment that you made up that employment MUST take care of all your wants and needs . It has never been that way. YOU must budget Your Self to fit your income and NOT the Other Way Around.

You stupid greedy Moon Bats think "fair share" means giving you shitheads welfare.

There is only one reason they want to come here and that is we built a superior country. It has nothing to do with climate disaster and it's the people that are the reason those failed states failed.

Not having water might have something to do with it - a glimpse into the future of Western states, too.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/08/03/mexico-drought-water-shortages-theft-rationing/

In northern Mexico, reservoirs that typically supply water to the region’s 5 million people are low or dry. Experts say a confluence of factors are to blame, including population growth, increasing demand for water, poor infrastructure and soaring temperatures. Over the long term, climate change as a result of human activity will probably drive up the frequency and severity of such changes in weather, including heat waves and droughts.

When Trump was running the show people did stop coming because there was virtually no way to get in. If you applied for asylum, you had to wait in Mexico until your court date. Then we'd let them in, drive them to court, and when the court declined their application, back over the border they went.

I lol'd at the above. More people are trying to enter the country now as compared to Trump - on that we agree. But more people were coming under Trump compared to Obama - a lot more. They're coming because they're coming from failed states. Several hundred million people live south of our border, which is over 1000 miles long and almost impossible to completely police. Walls have to be built. They have to be maintained. Ask China how successful its Great Wall was at keeping the barbarian invaders out. Not very.

If you want to stop the flow of migrants, then you have to do more than build a wall.

Dementia reversed all of Trump's successful border policies and that's why we have the problem we have today. We've had a record amount of border encounters because under Dementia, they just turn them loose, or put them on a bus and ship them to some blue state to deal with their problems.

I didn't know Trump had dementia, but it doesn't surprise me.

You are a moron thinking that paying taxes is a patriotic thing.

Not when this filthy government is a big bloated out of control welfare state $30 trillion in debt.

This enormous debt ridden government is destroying our country and it is patriotic to oppose it.

And yet you are afraid to CONFIRM that you yourself are on Medicare, that fucking socialist Program that you despise.
And will you also confirm that you are collecting Social Security?

And don't even waste your breathe saying how you despise Medicare and SS,

Just confirm that you collect both.
I'm guessing you can't or won't.

 

[WEATHER53]

So the people who don’t make any money have a “fair share” goalpost they want
So, on 100K gross annual income, how much is “fair”
for state, federal and SS.
15,000?
25,000?
32,500?
Or do you dependents need like 50,000 to cover all your poor decisions and bad habits?

 

[berg80]

You all weep that any working person should be able to have their own home and car and gobs of children, all hunky dory.

I usually find it to the case that someone who pretends to know what myself or others think attribute those beliefs due to an inability to make an argument on the merits. Scapegoating hard working people who, because they earn a low wage, need financial assistance to afford food and decent housing is a hallmark of conservative politics.
Have you considered they may need a helping hand to improve themselves and their station in society?

And Flash uses welfare, I mean Socialist Programs like SS and Medicare. I hope Flash isn't collecting Medicaid.

Will Flash answer his usage of socialism.

You have a short memory. It was the Communists who were fighting every step of the way so the illegals could get into the country. They were sending their lawyers over the border to teach the migrants how to lie on their appliation. What they couldn't stop Trump from doing, their commie judges did.....at least for a while. But after Trump's defeat of them all, border crossings dropped dramatically.

Trump’s plan to stem border crossings gets results

Border arrests are plummeting after Trump crackdown.

Trump immigration policies showing results, with illegal border crossings plummeting

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border plummeted after the Trump administration required asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for court hearings in the U.S., according to a report.

www.foxnews.com

Furthermore I never said the wall was the only thing we need. The new Trump walls came along with the latest technology to stop crossers. The real win for Trump is when he threatened Mexico's foreign aid if they continued to allow migrants to cross their country into ours.

Why do you find it necessary to use hyperbole to describe people with whom you disagree on politics?

It’s apparent you are unaware that SS and Medicare is something we paid for over many decades. It’s not an entitlement, it’s a pay back
Welfare and your other free shit was never paid for by you.

Even if he was, so what? It's not like any of theses programs were an option. If you work, you are forced to pay into these programs. It would be stupid not to try and get some of your money back that you worked your entire life for paying into.

Clearly, what ever you are you aren't a "thinker."

You have no idea what my financial status is and I don't know yours. Both are immaterial to the discussion.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Why do you find it necessary to use hyperbole to describe people with whom you disagree on politics?

Nothing hyperbole about it. It's the truth. All anybody has to do is go to the US Communist party website and read their agenda. You'd think you were reading AOC off her website or something. Their agenda is almost identical to the Communist agenda. Here, see for yourself:

CPUSA Program

The audio of the Party Program is available here. Preface The Road to Socialism USA is the Program of the Communist Party USA, adopted in 2005 and updated by our 100th Anniversary Convention in 2019 in Chicago.

Don't kid yourself. Most get back more than they paid in.

I worked and paid taxes into Medicare from day one in 1965 up until two years ago. Sell that socialism shit to some naive college kids.
