Republican top priority.....Raise taxes on the poor

[LeftofLeft]

The Republican Party s top priority is to raise taxes on the poor. Literally. - The Week

How can you "raise" taxes on those who pay none?

The working poor pay taxes at the same time they struggle to support their families

That is what Republicans don't understand

How much does the average poor family pay in taxes?

 

[LeftofLeft]

I am all for the Poor not to pay taxes. But I am also for not punishing the tax bracket that already funds most of the government: Corporations and High Annual Income earners. I am also for cutting spending or at least reducing deficit spending and debt ceilings.

you'll find out when you starty paying more of what you say you're not paying ... everybody pays taxes

Somebody who doesn't work and has no income doesn't pay taxes, it's impossible. All they do is transfer some of the money given them back to the entity that gave it to them in the first place.

All the while thinking it's actually there money.

when you are taxed each and every month, week, or two weeks, money is taken out of your check.... at the end of the year you get a grand total ....can we agree on that ???? say you have paid 8000 dollars in taxes ....after deductions are made you get back say 1200 dollars ... using these numbers as a example, it is showing you have paid 6800 dollars in taxes ... how can you say, you don't pay taxes ... I have never as long as I've been paying taxes have got back 8000 dollars in taxes I've paid in... never!!! how these people say the poor pay nothing in taxes is beyond me...

the debt ceiling and deficit spending are totally two different thing ... it amazes me how people don't see the difference

The poor often get more back than they even paid in taxes via child tax credits and other wealth redistribution schemes. Hell even illegals get a refund using this child tax credit scheme and they are not even legally entitled to the tax credit, its pure fraud.

The Republican Party s top priority is to raise taxes on the poor. Literally. - The Week

Following their convincing victory in the 2014 elections, everyone is wondering what Republicans will do with their new majority in the Senate and House. Well, their policy agenda is becoming clear. It will be unrestrained class warfare against the poor.
This priority was made apparent over the last week during the negotiation of a colossal tax cut package. Senate Democrats and Republicans had been doing some low-key negotiations to renew a slew of tax cuts for corporations and lower- and middle-income Americans, according to reporting from Brian Faler and Rachel Bade at Politico.
Then President Obama announced his executive action on immigration. Enraged Republicans promptly took vengeance on all the goodies for the working poor (as well as for clean energy), cutting them out of the deal and proposing a raft of permanent tax cuts for corporations alone worth $440 billion over 10 years.

And this is one of many reasons why most republicans are incapable of, and unfit to, govern: blind adherence to failed conservative dogma and the propensity toward partisanism at the expense of sound, responsible governance.

That's why nobody votes Republican anymore.

P.S.
I feel companies shouldn't be allowed to write off anything.... I feel people who deside to have children shouldn't be allowed to writen them off too... i feel you having children is your choice, you should pay for them not me ... as for a company paying for their expences to run that company they should pay it not me ..

lets look at who takes out more ... many companies like GE and so on don't pay billions of dollars of taxes that they don't pay that you as a tax payer end up having to pay ... you're pissed off at a person who makes 15000 dollars a year and pays nothing on his 2500 dollars that he wrote off??? really this is what makes you pissed off or are you being duped by the right and don't realize it

Which is why I think the real winner last month was the Democratic nominee in 2016. All she has to do is point at the GOP and say, "Imagine if there were nothing to stop them from controlling the whole government..."

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Of course compnies need to write off expenses. It's impossible to stay in business otherwise. If it costs you $50 to produce $100 in sales you made $50, not $100. No one is "paying for it".

 

[initforme]

Let's get rid of social security, Medicare as they cost too much. Then let's cut all taxes on corporations and millionaires. Then let's increase the taxes on the middle class and poor. Anything less is socialist. How about the middle class and poor have no health insurance either, its only reserved for the wealthy. Now we have a good start correct? Oh and let's make sure that the middle class and poor are the ones who go off to do the fighting in wars too. There we go.

If a poor guy pays $2000 in sales taxes but receives $8000 in government assistance, does that mean he paid anything in taxes?

So then, you or rather the hate site that does your thinking for you, were blatantly lying about raising taxes on the poor?

Hey, you're Communists - you lie - it's what you do...

 

[ninja007]

What happened when Bush cut those corporate rates?

Did they respond with more jobs? No, they just kept the extra money

How about it Republicans? Where do we we make up for the lost $440 Billion in lost revenue? You can tell us
Take the money away from the poor

Once again you make assumptions (tell lies) that corporate tax cuts are ONLY intended to create jobs, that jobs weren't created under Bush, and that the economy after 9/11 existed in a vacuum. I know your plan isn't to learn the truth about any of this....only to reinforce the false narrative you Rats thrive on hoping your targets are too lazy to find out the truth for themselves.....most are.

Very few jobs were created under Bush. That's the point. He has one of the worst job creation reputation in American history despite his awful tax cuts.

hello? 9/11, fannie freddie....
