    Still dancing I see. What percent of tax revenues are the top earners fair share?

    If you refuse to answer again it will just be taken as the normal liberal obfuscation and be done with.

    Because we are talking income taxes inspite of your attempts to divert along with your obfuscation. Thanks for proving the point once again.

    Yes, pal, I know that. Unlike our present era, expenditures actually created jobs in the private economy and a high draft rate made it easier to find civilian jobs.

    We could do better by helping private enterprise create more jobs with meaningful tax breaks etc. Obama's economic stimulus failed because most of the money went to local governments which had problems after the payments ended.The president even admitted it as he joked that shovel ready jobs were harder to find than they thought.

    Is this your roundabout way of saying the highest marginal rate should be dramatically lowered? We agree! Half pay nothing. What does that bottom 60% pay? 7% of the total income taxes? 8% maybe? So why not amend the Constitution to say no one can be forced to pay more than 15% of their income no matter how it is derived? And the bottom half need to start paying as well. I believe the bottom half should pay at one-half the rate the top are forced to pay.

    What is it about a percentage of Income that is so perplexing. Aren't the wealthiest, worth it?

    No, you want to talk only about income taxes because you think that you have an argument that the rich pay too much. You must like Issa's tour where only people who complain about ACA can talk.

    Don't let real evidence interfere with your phony opinion.

    Sorry, when the top 1% has the money, they should pay more taxes, including income taxes.

    I know that you will not understand the following. Investment is held up by uncertainty. It is not about which way the government should go. Businesses just want to know what will happen and they will adjust to it. The right wing obstructionism has caused businesses to hesitate until they know what they government plans to do.

    Why? They do not have the money and they still pay taxes. Why do you want to screw people without money?

    What has the right wing obstructed?

    - - - Updated - - -

    They don't pay federal income taxes or virtually none at the most. How are they being screwed when about half of them MAKE money off the tax system?

    Why not end the capital gains distinction whenever unemployment is above one percent in our republic?

    Everyone receives the "benefits" of government so everyone should pay. If you are paying something you will be less inclined to vote for scoundrels who will raise your tax rates. When you pay nothing then you won't object to tax rates being raised as you don't pay them.

    It is very simple.

    Another alternative is that one may only vote for those levels of government one pays for. The lowest government levels are paid for by sales taxes and income taxes. So bring your last return to the polls along with a valid photo ID. Just don't expect to vote if you do not pay.

    Either method will work to hold government accountable to the people who pay the bills.

    I guess the concept of caring about the less fortunate. You seem to want a return on charity.

    Yep, we pretty much had that at tne beginning of our country and we realized that we were a better country than that. Some people love the past too much.

    I want justice from government. When some ride and others do all of the pulling there is not justice.

    You think it's government spending and jobs bills that create jobs. That's precisely the problem. I don't know how much more of Obama caring about jobs America can take before we simply go belly up.

    Another liberal who doesn't understand the concept of charity. Here, I'll give you a hint: charity is NOT confiscating money from one group of people via government force and handing it out to other people.

    Nonsense. You need to educate yourself on scams like EIC- for starters. It's time these losers at the bottom start paying up for their free ride.

    23,000 pages of Obama Care regulations along with who knows how many thousands of pages of new EPA and financial regulations along with fines for non-compliance has caused businesses to hesitate until they know what they government has already done.

    We would not have had to do that if so many of you were not heartless individuals. Every social program was created because you were not charitable enough.

    I understand that private charity can only cover for multitudes of sins, not official poverty.

    And since the government's war on poverty began, poverty has increased. I don't think we can afford much more war on poverty the way our government has been engaging in it.

    Yep, it's time to be a complete dick to the freeloaders. No question about it.

    How charitable am I?

    But, how can that be?! The right keeps claiming that our first world poor are not poor enough to be absolutely, third world poor.
