As the rich become super-rich, they pay lower taxes. For real.

As the ignorant (you and your left-wing pals) become super ignorant (you and your left-wing pals), you believe dumber and dumber things. For real.

The Top 1% in this nation earned 19% of all income, but paid 35% of all federal taxes. By contrast, the bottom 50% earned 12% of all income, but paid a paltry and offensive 3% of all federal taxes.

In other words, the bottom parasites earned 63% of the income of the top earners, but paid just 0.9% of the taxes that the top earners paid. That is repulsive and the type of ignorance that could only come from the left. They earn 63% of the what they wealthy earn but don't even pay 1% of what the wealthy pay in taxes.

If you earn 63% of what the wealthy earns, you should at least pay 63% of what the wealthy pays.

Shocking cupcake

All Americans pay taxes. Most of us pay federal and state income taxes. Everyone who works pays federal payroll taxes. Everyone who buys gasoline pays federal and state gas taxes. Everyone who owns or rents a home directly or indirectly pays property taxes. Anyone who shops pays sales taxes in most states.



The federal income by itself is progressive. But when all of the taxes we pay are taken into account, most of that progressivity disappears. Those who advocate for tax cuts for the highest earners and erroneously claim that the wealthy are overtaxed focus solely on the federal personal income tax, while ignoring all of the other taxes that Americans pay. As the table to the right illustrates, the total share of taxes (federal, state, and local) that will be paid by Americans across the economic spectrum in 2016 is roughly equal to their total share of income.


..Many of the taxes we pay are regressive, meaning they take a larger share of income from poor and middle-income families than they do from the rich. To offset the regressive impact of payroll taxes, sales taxes and even some state and local income taxes, we need federal income tax policies that are more progressive than they are now

The party of ''personal responsibility" steps up again *shaking head*

Q: Did Bill Clinton pass up a chance to kill Osama bin Laden?

A: Probably not, and it would not have mattered anyway as there was no evidence at the time that bin Laden had committed any crimes against American citizens

Clinton Passed on Killing bin Laden? - FactCheck.org

Wow! You really know how to bring it with some sound facts like "probably not".

Jack ass - your citing an irrelevant issue. We know for a fact that Al Qaeda was behind the bombings of the Kenya and Tanzania Embassy's. Those occurred in 1998. That gave President Clinton two years to end Al Qaeda. Instead, he completely ignored them.

Na, but it is the reason this country is in so much debt… Socialism never can pay its own bills

True NOT when you GUT those "job creators" taxes Cupcake

...In other words, a person in the top 0.001 percent income bracket -- who would have an adjusted gross income of at least $62,000,000 -- pays the nearly same effective tax rate as somebody in the top 20 percent bracket who makes $85,000 in adjusted gross income.

Who gives a shit what people make or how little they make... everyone should pay the same dollar amount in taxes… Because any type of progressive tax is taxation without representation

Progressive taxes only appeals to spineless weasel's… envy is a weak emotion

Nobody said "all U.S. taxes" snowflake. Why do you have to create a straw man? Oh yeah, that's right, because I'm kicking your ass from one side of this board to the other.

I specifically stated federal taxes about, snowflake. The more your ego forces you down this path, the uglier it gets for you. You were wrong. Dead wrong. Like all left-wing snowflakes, you bought into the emotion of the propaganda instead of buying into the rational facts.

[ShaklesOfBigGov]

haha, you find me one person who will never use healthcare. And yes, that beats me paying for them when they get sick.

You have to love Brain "logic". He doesn't want to pay for people who are sick so he proposes socialized medicine so that he is forever forced to pay for people who are sick.

You already WERE FORCED to pay for them, ER care and bankruptcies etc, just in the cruelest and stupidest and deadliest way. Duhhhhh. You macho independant GOPers lol are first in line when your luck runs out...

Actually I don't remember a "fine" being implemented by the government to force individuals into accepting payment of health care premiums for coverage. Care to try that one again?

It's also rather interesting how the liberal democrats are spelrwading this lie claiming those who can't afford it would be denied care. Patients who have been admitted themselves through their local hospital can't be turned away for care, it's always been covered. Socialized medicine does not equate to better care, as I can site plenty of examples through NHS of that.

Here, my little propaganda princess, chew on some facts for a few minutes...

The greatest threat to mankind's prosperity is government, not population growth. For example, Zimbabwe was agriculturally rich but, with government interference, was reduced to the brink of mass starvation.

That lone example (Zimbabwe) is seen all over the world. Cuba (same thing). Ethiopia (same thing). Cambodia (same thing). North Korea (same thing). The former U.S.S.R. (same thing). The list goes on and on and on snowflake.

Malthus’ wrong predictions did not deter Stanford University professor Paul Ehrlich from making a similar prediction.

In his 1968 best-seller, “The Population Bomb,” which has sold more than 2 million copies, Ehrlich warned: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.”

This hoax resulted in billions of dollars being spent to fight overpopulation.

The fact that you are so easily duped by a hoax that is almost 50 years old is as fall-down hilarious as it is tragic. And it continues to prove the premise of this thread correct. You reject all facts, science, reason, and logic in favor of emotion.

That's not true at all. We spend more than 2x's as much on unconstitutional social programs as we do on defense. All we need to do is eliminate those unconstitutional programs and we could not only pay off our national debt, but we could actually increase our military.

Jimmy Kimmel's recent viral monologue is a prime example of how the left values irrational emotions over logic and reason. That is why the left supports failed ideologies such as socialism, communism, etc. Because it feels good to them. They could care less that it ends in poverty, misery, and collapse.

Jimmy Kimmel illustrated this universal truth once again when he cried during his monologue about his baby (who is ok now) and proclaimed how nobody should have to decide between saving their child's life and money (as if anyone has ever had to make that "choice"). Life saving procedures cannot be denied regardless of a person's ability to pay. In addition to that inconvenient little fact, there is this gem:

The care, technology, and life saving treatment his family experienced was made possible by two, privately funded organizations. Both Cedars Sinai and Children’s Hospital LA are non-profit, not government-run, hospitals. This isn’t a coincidence.

When individuals are allowed to fund programs they like without a government mandate, we end up with more efficient and effective services. Hospitals are only one very important example.

Jimmy Kimmel’s Moving Story Shows Why Private Charity Trumps Government

It's logical for Repugs to support the traitor Trump who loves Russia more than his own country? That's a head-scratcher.

The real head scratcher is how we can run three independent investigations, believe in the significance of establishing a senate judiciary and house intelligence committee to handle investigations impartially by demanding an independent investigation, all because democrats trust a news story to be honest in its conclusions over the lack of any evidence producing a crime in the first place.

I believe most of us are familiar with the consequences in starting search parties and using state resources over intensionally, misleading, or false information, I can easily see the same accountability parallel being concluded here surrounding certain newspaper publications. The same penalties ought to apply in the case of intentionally piecing together, reporting falsified or misleading claims, and allowing such strong accusations to be published resulting in the waste of taxpayer dollars. Let these media sources be held responsible for such actions. Flip the investigation around that places the newspaper or media outlet in the hot seat, if such reporting is deemed to have occurred.

No evidence of collusion or efforts to alter an election, in fact Hillary's acceptance of finances into her "foundation" from foreign government demonstrates a clear actual physical trail that goes well beyond just a face to face encounter with a foreign official. Financial contributions have a way of producing actual evidence, physical evidence that liberal democrats can't seem to find beyond having "met" someone. Likewise Obama must have been in collusion for simply facing foreign officials prior to his presidency. At least produce some actual evidence that places Trump in a different category from others who ran for the executive office, because these constant assumptions to conspire that is being produced are really pathetic. This is why I will get laughing emojis instead because they can't really say what makes Trump's case different from Hillary or any other politician, as well as the lack of a trail of physical evidence that was clearly evident through Mrs Clintons financial contributions from foreign nations which indictates actual conflict of interest to HER political position..

Sorry cupcake

What is clear is that the 9/11 Commission report totally discounts the Sudanese claims. Unless further evidence arises, that has to be the final word.

Ultimately, however, it doesn’t matter. What is not in dispute at all is the fact that, in early 1996, American officials regarded Osama bin Laden as a financier of terrorism and not as a mastermind largely because, at the time, there was no real evidence that bin Laden had harmed American citizens. So even if the Sudanese government really did offer to hand bin Laden over, the U.S. would have had no grounds for detaining him. In fact, the Justice Department did not secure an indictment against bin Laden until 1998 – at which point Clinton did order a cruise missile attack on an al Qaeda camp in an attempt to kill bin Laden.
