For that reason, i'm staunchly against tax increases. Washington needs to have it's spending reigned in.ZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! heh

Look, asphaltjunkie, the problem isn't people paying taxes or not. The taxes that ARE collected should be more than enough for our nation to function as it is. The problem we're in is the people in power that are at the controls of the money are mismanaging what they receive through poor decisions and overspending. You and many others have been duped into believing that if "We the People" put more into our government through higher taxation, that the problem would correct itself. In all reality, the government would just spend and mismanage more; possibly at a higher level of wrecklessness.

Also not to mention most people who have medical Insurance who work will be paying close to $1500 a MONTH for a family of 2!
How on earth did our country come to this! Most peoples mortgage payment isnt $1500. They wonder why people who are middle class dont have kids. Well you add up $1500 a month for your medical insurance & then another $1200 for childcare. Thats $2700 a month just so your kids can go to the doctor & a daycare while you work to pay Uncle Sam
Lets not even get started on normal bills! Its way out of hand & soon there will only be THE RICH & THE POOR here in America!
Cause the Rich get loop holes to avoid taxes & the poor dont pay taxes. So who is paying for all this shit!
The Middle Class is! Which I might add is about to be extinct. Once America makes this gap. Its hard to ever close that gap & create a middle class once its gone!GOD BLESS TEXAS

There seems to be a lot of people speaking about the rich avoiding taxes. They don't get out of it all together, they still pay plenty. Some of you are speaking as if the rich don't pay taxes at all. And if they are exploiting loopholes that are there, more power to them. The rich worked hard for what they have, not the government. I'll exploit every fucking loophole I can, because it's my money that I worked for, not the government.Last edited by bcoop; 12-05-2010, 02:18 PM.Originally posted by BradMBut, just like condoms and women's rights, I don't believe in them.Originally posted by LeahIn other news: Brent's meat melts in your mouth.

I don't know how many times I have heard, in mid-September, "We still have $xxx,xxx,xxx in the budget for the F.Y., get those 'want' lists turned into supply. If we don't spend it all, we won't get as much next year". It really sickened me how broken the system was and is.
