I love my country. I will gladly pay more for education for all, and healthcare for all BECAUSE I love my country.
I always find this narrative fascinating....The top 1% of wage earners already pay 45% of all income tax paid and 45% of American's pay no income tax at all.
That said, how is the notion that our most productive positive contributors owe more manifested?
Why is it never said that we have too many bottom feeders stealing from the middle class and how does that not make more sense to sane rational folks? Take the $100 billion we spend on illegal beaners every year...what if we diverted that cash alone and funneled it through the hands of the middle class and REAL Americans?
Corporate welfare. For example, Walton's are very rich while paying very little to employees. So little that employees also collect welfare. So tax payers supplement the wages for the billionaire Walton's.
No such thing.
They pay they're employees what the skills required to do those jobs are worth. If those employees collect welfare, it's their fault for not having better skills. That should stop. Taxpayers supplement the skill equivalent wages of people whose skills are so low they can't do even the basic things in life.
If one has a $5/hour set of skills, paying them $5/hour is fine. If that isn't enough to live on, improve your skills.
They are making the Walton's billions. I don't think taxpayers should subsidize their pay.
They pay less in taxes than they have in generations/---/ how much does the one percent pay in taxes vs what you think they should pay?No; but, Only the One Percent, "shirk their civic duty".at least once. just a waste of the (other) Peoples' tax monies.Let's audit the drug war or the poverty war, instead of the Fed. How much of that spending should be under the common defense? Our "wars on crime, drugs, and terror" should be under defense spending.
How many times have you been busted
But clearly not objective and it shows.

Reading comprehension issues? This is why education is so important.
Allow me to clarify, any adult who loves America would have no problem paying into education for all, because it is what's best for the country they love.
When faced with decent families, which you never had, supporting their kids education as is their moral responsibility.
I don't make minimum wage, and my story is much more impressive than yours. I did climb out of poverty, I did put myself through school, I did start out with an entry level position and have moved up consistently in my field. My field which directly works with poverty. So I even know what I'm talking aboutMinimum wage increase since 1990 is around 20% the living cost increase in nearly 70%. Is your math better than your reading comprehension?Good for you. I made a generalized statement about our country over all that you can't refute.My pay has increased significantly. There's a reason for it. I've raised my skill level to offer something worth more money. Same for my wife.
I would be more impressed with your story if you started out with nothing and pulled yourself out of poverty. But I have a feeling mommy and daddy paid your way into adulthood, Mr personal responsibility.
I'm not the only one and be both know generalized statements are false.
Since you have that feeling, why don't you prove it, asshole. Claims like that should come with something to back it up. Do you have anything?
I didn't come out of poverty nor was I handed things like you falsely claim. I didn't live in poverty because my parents practiced what they taught me and their parents before them did the same thing.
I'll find you a link after work.
Don't waste your time.
When the skills to do a job in 1990 is the same skill level required to do the same job in 2017, your wages aren't going to increase very much. You blame it on anything but the ones offering minimum skills. Here's a novel idea. Improve your skills and be shocked as just how much greater your wage percentage increases over living costs increases. That's what I did. That's what my wife did. That's what many people do. The only ones whining are those that maintain low level skills and do nothing to increase them. And the idiots that think someone with $5/hour skills and something a monkey could be trained to do deserve more than $5/hour.
Get to work. Your minimum wage, low skilled job is waiting on you. I'll have fries with that.
You are not the boss of meI remember mortgage rates over fifteen percent.I carry more debt than my annual incomeWhat about it?
The national debt is not an issue?
How much debt do you carry?
Guess what?
I pay less than four percent interest on my debt. Allows me to afford two houses
More debt than your annual income is better than most - think house prices.
And interest rates have always been and always have been at these levels.
If leftists hero Jimmy Carter were in office what would your interest rate be?
How much of your debt do plan to impose on future generations?
Ever studied economics or finance?
My first mortgage was twelve percent
Jimmy Carter did not set interest rates but he had a balanced budget
I am done until you answer my other questions.
I'm a great parent and my kids want for nothing. No one gives me anything. Done with you intensely duranged rampage?Good for you. I made a generalized statement about our country over all that you can't refute.Living costs have raised singnificantly over the last several decades and wages have not been raised proportionally... until people are making a living wage, or living costs drop, we will continue to have rampant poverty.It is for the right wing. They also like to complain about a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage.
Where I am from 1 in 3 people live under the fed poverty level.
My pay has increased significantly. There's a reason for it. I've raised my skill level to offer something worth more money. Same for my wife.
I would be more impressed with your story if you started out with nothing and pulled yourself out of poverty. But I have a feeling mommy and daddy paid your way into adulthood, Mr personal responsibility.
I think all taxpayers should pay for your Hysterectomy. It's obvious you have no balls, and are a scum sucking parasitic socialist. So you need a Hysterectomy and have your Vagina Permanently sewn up, so you can no longer "BREED" & so we don't have to listen the damn thing you have to say.
How about this? Why don't you quit being a LAZY unmotivated Fuck Up of a Parent and get off of your ass and make a life for you, your family and your genetically defective offspring?
Why in the Hell should I give you Free Food, Free Housing, Free Clothes, Free Phones, Free Healthcare Free Money, and now Free College Education?
Go Get Bent Fucking Couch Surfer.

We are still paying for Reagans policiesReagan is still the President?I always find this narrative fascinating....The top 1% of wage earners already pay 45% of all income tax paid and 45% of American's pay no income tax at all.

Why don't you ask why Ronald Reagan gave the 1% more of the working class' earnings? That was the biggest redistribution of wealth in world history.
Reagan promised that his tax cuts to the wealthy would "trickle down" to the working classes but it never happened. Instead, American wealth trickled up to the 1%.
Before Reagan's tax cuts and war on unions, working class Americans had equity and savings. That's been wiped out. Now the working poor need social assistance just to put food on the table.
Why do conservatives never talk about this transfer of wealth?
That was a long nap.
I'm a great parent and my kids want for nothing. No one gives me anything. Done with you intensely duranged rampage?
/----/ What is their motivation to make a million a year if you Progs will just confiscate and squander it? If it were me I'd do my best to hide the income overseas away from your grubby little paws.They pay less in taxes than they have in generations/---/ how much does the one percent pay in taxes vs what you think they should pay?No; but, Only the One Percent, "shirk their civic duty".at least once. just a waste of the (other) Peoples' tax monies.How many times have you been busted

Anyone making more than a million a year should pay 50 percent
/---/ let's look at the drop out rate in inner city public schools. They reject the"free education " How come?It really doesn't depend on anything. People with a higher education level make more money. You want poor people to stop being poor? Stop keeping education out of reach./---/ depends on the quality of education. Why do we have to import engineers?Higher education shouldn't be for the wealthy. Any America loving adult would gladly pay into education for all because at the end of the day, we NEED an educated population to stay competitive.I think that is America 101?
aka Personal Responsibility 101.
The free college idiots want those of us that aren't a kid's parents to invest in that kid. If their own parents don't consider them a good enough investment, they can't convince me it's a good investment for me.

They have no money for college, got to start hustling.
If impoverished kids thought they had the same opportunities as rich kids the thug life would be much less appealing.
/----/ So? We're still paying for LBJs policies. Where is your fake outrage over that?We are still paying for Reagans policiesReagan is still the President?I always find this narrative fascinating....The top 1% of wage earners already pay 45% of all income tax paid and 45% of American's pay no income tax at all.

How's it welfare if they paid it back?Lol well I don't resent the man for saving our economy, but whatever floats your boat...I am with you. Lets stop giving subsidies and bailouts to everybody, even the ones that the Democrats love so much.
As I said...you have zero problem with "corporate welfare". Its a trope you trot out to corrupt the conversation. No credibility at all.

Thanks for admitting that those wanting the taxpayers to fund their kids' college don't love America.
I gladly pay into the education for the only ones to which I'm responsible. MINE.
Allow me to clarify, any adult who loves America would have no problem paying into education for all, because it is what's best for the country they love.
So now you get impose what is the best allocation for that scarce resource.
Not for me darling.
However, feel free to contribute your money and lead by example.

I agree taxpayers shouldn't subsidize the workers for Walmart, etc. That's why all such welfare payments to them should stop. Also, the government should have no say in what the Walton family pays their employers.

I concur. Let's end corporate welfare and give tax breaks to the working class!For the greedy welfare queens enough is never enough. They want more.
