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

[berg80]

Nothing hyperbole about it. It's the truth.

The correct reply, grammatically speaking, is "nothing hyperbolic about it."

Name calling is juvenile. What's more, it takes away from the point you are ineffectually trying to make.

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.

I'm totally aware dickhead.
It's the RWers that have been crying that SS is a Ponzi scheme

I personally think that SS is a life safer for many of the elderly, and those entitled right wing moon bats like Flash scream that they could have done better investing it himself. This may be true, but it IS NOT TRUE for the majority of Americans. Flash is just superior to most here, so He knows best.

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.

So what?
You on disability now?
Your tune changes when life changes.

 

[Winco]

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.

As have I.
What socialism shit?

Make yourself clear and take a stance.

Is Medicare Socialism or NOT?
Is Disability Socialism or NOT?
Is SS a Ponzi scheme or NOT?

First define what fair share is second who is it that needs to pay this fair share because it always seems to be everyone but me last if the government wants people to pay their fair share then as a previous poster pointed out there has to be punishment for those in government who waste that money and spend it in a reckless and irresponsible manner.

 

[BS Filter]

As have I.

Is Disability Socialism or NOT?

I just said Medicare is not socialism. Neither is social security. Disability is welfare. Period.

Always amazes me how when billionaires pay millions in taxes and half the country pays zero, lefties say that the billionaires aren't paying their fair share.

And when they want more they target the people that pay the most instead of the people that pay nothing at all.

I defy you find anyone in the US that pays zero taxes, that's not just zero income taxes but zero tax from sales, gas, etc.

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

They went down for about a year, but went up sharply in 2020, his final year in office. I don't blame that on Trump for whatever that's worth; I think there's only so much a sitting president can do.

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.

Trump didn't win anything. Nobody did really.

You live in a constitutional representative republic if you live in Virginia. The US uses a democratic process to elect representatives, but it is not a democracy.

Semantics. Democracy comes in a variety of flavors.

my bad,,
I should have said legally do things,,
forgot you fucks dont have a problem breaking laws

Laws like trespassing? No one is innocent my sanctimonious friend.

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

Medicare and Social Security: What you paid compared with what you get

Earlier this week, we published a story and several charts showing that average government spending on each elderly pers

www.politifact.com

The pay in was earning money, you would naturally be ignorant of that
$15,000 per year paid to SS for 25 years and 5-10k for 15 years. Just over 500k total for a 40 year span, account balance about 800k before draw downs began
Those are big numbers so have someone explain to you what they mean.

First of all there is nothing to support this GOVERNMENT groups assertions. Secondly, they got their statistics from only 11 states with the highest percentage of both these programs. It's not the entire country.

Americans did because he greatly slowed down crossings. Yes, when Dementia was declared the winner they started making trails back to our border because illegals know who is supporting them coming into this country illegally.

Who gets to determine your "fair share"?

Semantics. Democracy comes in a variety of flavors.

Words have meanings, even if you're ignorant of them.

Republicans support lawless behavior and defend tax cheats which costs honest taxpayers hundreds of billions.

Please provide an example of a Republican defending a tax cheat.

Objecting to the creation of a Gestapo is not defending a tax cheat, douchebag.

They way you leftwing minions lick Biden's boots is truly sickening to behold.

Ancient Greece had elections. So did medieval Venice. The first British general election was held in 1708.

How do I know all this? Google. You may want to try it. Good luck
