Greece Runs Out of Other People's Money

[SAYIT]

A debt based country will never be fixed, however, progressive taxation has been shown to alleviate inequality, give greater funding to state programs, etc, etc.. You can't honestly tell me the inequality in this world is justified?

I can't fix the world but US already employs a progressive tax system with the top 10% of earners carrying 70% of the federal income tax burden.
So what would satisfy you? 80%? 90%? 110%?

 

[SAYIT]

The one right that leftists consider non-negotiable is THEIR right to decide what is best for you AND your money.

you don't make $1 and keep a dollar in this country you idiot. you have to pay your taxes. don't you understand this is how a government and the country operates?

Not quite, Princess. If you earn less than $35,000/yr you pay no federal income tax. In effect, the rest of us carry your sorry ass. Now get the fuck out there and prosper ... we need more taxpayers!

The glorious circlejerk continues.

More like a panty-raid ... Seems like yours are tied in a knot.

I'm irritated, yes, when you and others consistently downplay billions of people in poverty for your protection of a few elites wealth.

These people wouldn't be poor if Bill Gates and Warren Buffett weren't so rich.
It's so obvious to me now. LOL!

How much debt is the united states in right now?
Good job trying to imply Greece's evil "socialism" and "taking other people's money" only applies to Greece.

Trying to compare US debt with Greek debt shows only that you don't understand what you're talking about. The US can still service its debt. Greece cannot.
Greece's socialism is solely responsible for its problems. Low productivity, low business formation, arcane rules, high taxes leading to evasion, and resulting low growth all make for a sub par economy.
But hey, the Greeks get 2 weeks vacation a year! And going forward they'll get 52 weeks vacation. Because everyone will be out of work.
They voted for it, the fools.

Greece is due to pay back several billion dollars on June 30th. Without a deal they cannot. They will default and then be kicked out of the Eurozone in July. And I called it back in January.

And the Grexit I predicted back in January comes one step closer. What did those assholes think? They could stick their thumbs in Europeans' eyes and say fuck you but still continue to get bailout money? I dont think so.
Greece and creditors fail in last attempt to reach deal - Yahoo Finance

grease like the United States is going broke because the rich are not paying their fair share of taxes

I found this hilarious cartoon detailing this issue..

You could take everything the Top 1% has and it still wouldn't pay off our debt ... Keep on pretending you have any answers worth listening to.

.

It takes 8.4 million dollars to enter the 1% club. That's not average - that's the minimum wealth of the group. In a country of 300 milllion people there are 3 million 1 percenters. 3 million x 8.4 million = 25.2 trillion dollars. They have on average way more than 8.4 million dollars so yeah, you could take everything they own and have way more than you'd need to pay off the debt. Nice talking point though.

and the Rich and Republicans haven't done one thing to lower the debt. all they have done is shifted the tax burden onto us. because if they lowered their taxes and the debt keeps rising it can only mean you are responsible for more of it than we were before

 

[sealybobo]

since 2000 all we have done is cut rich people's taxes. Who am I kidding since Reagan. so why aren't the job creators creating jobs?

The bottom 47% get more back in tax refunds than they pay in. Dont you know that?

Yes we have the same number of people working today as when Reagan was in office 35 years ago. Right?

since 2000 all we have done is cut rich people's taxes. Who am I kidding since Reagan.

When Reagan left office, the top rate was 28%.
I know you failed math, but trust me, 39.6% is larger than 28%.

who raise their taxes? I know Bush got in trouble for no new taxes so it could have been him could have sworn Clinton cut corporate taxes and Bush certainly did. so good I'm glad they're paying their fair share but don't forget the loopholes

Off shore havens? Are you telling me that people arrange their affairs to minimize their tax liabilities? Are you serious? Liberals have been whining for decades that the opposite is true.

 

[sealybobo]

and besides you Republicans the other day all admitted corporations pay zero taxes and then tried to say it was the Democrats who passed those tax breaks to the corporation intellectually dishonest

Well, it's very complicated and based on your low IQ, I'm not sure I could dumb down the explanation enough for a moron like you to understand.

could have sworn Clinton cut corporate taxes and Bush certainly did

Wrong on both counts. Idiot.

"Minimize tax liabilities" Billy, just give me lower taxes and it'll trickle down, I promise!
