I live in the USA. When I was growing up, my father paid a marginal income tax rate of damned near 90% and he was STILL able to grow his law practice and amass his wealth in real estate with that sort of tax burden.. and he NEVER complained that, as a wealthy successful professional who had benefitted so much from living in these United States, he had to pay more taxes than people less fortunate.
I call any tax cut for the wealthy the same thing, practically... effectively, as a hand out. They had gotten wealthy paying a certain tax rate and then, even though they didn't NEED a tax cut and could have continued to live opulent life styles if the tax rates had remained unchanged, Dubya gave them a handout at the very same time that he was running a war off the books that sunk us in red ink. Yeah... the rich got a handout when we really couldn't afford to give them one... and even the GOP folks who WROTE the tax cut legislation wrote it so that it would expire... they KNEW that it was too good to be true, but they gave it away to folks who didn't need it anyway. A handout. If it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...it's a duck.
I am going to be honest with you, you are a fucking moron. a tax cut is not a handout if it my money that I am getting back.
semantics.
nice how you avoided the substance of my post....
that would suggest that it might be YOU who is the "fucking moron"
I tell you what since I am a citizen, and you somehow think that the government owns everybody's money, let's cut out the middle man you can send all your money to me. via travalers checks or a certified check monthly. Will that make you happy? You are surrendering what isn't yours according to you. Thanks
