Low-Income Renters Face Eviction, Thanks to the Government Shutdown

Say the guys with lower incomes. You mean to tell me if you were making a million a year you would be happy to pay a larger percent then the guy making 50 grand?

 

I'm pretty close to that now. It works great.

 

Yes becuase I'm not a greedy **** trying to screw over the little guy.

 

From the standpoint of a wipe-every-nose-income-redistributionist liberal perhaps

But for the rich and middle class who are having the blood sucked out of them by the liberal welfare state it makes a lot of sense

 

I think it was Forbes who many years ago suggested 17%.

 

Maybe you are not screwing over the little guy. Maybe the little guy just doesn't work hard enough and is screwing himself.

 

More power to you if you're intellectually honest. Not going to lie, I've considered it myself but the east doesn't really make that viable. That said, as long as you use public resources it's on you to pay your due. I know you haven't actually said it (in this thread at least) but "Taxation is theft" from anyone partaking in civilization is the true thief/deadbeat.

 

If the poor have to pay taxes instead of having other peoples tax money redistributed to them they will see things differently

 

It affects the poor more

 

Of course!

 

Or maybe the little guy is working 50 hour weeks making his boss money hand over fist but is getting shafted by min wage becuase his boss is a greedy **** screwing him over. The appeal to false meritocracy is a poor camouflage for greed.

 

That goes for poor people too

They are not paying their fair share

 

No. From someone who understand economics.

The middle class has been getting ****ed in the ass since Reagan.

 

Thats not my fault

My tax dollars should not be given to a lazy welfare bum

 

Poor people spend more (becuase they have too, necessities aren't free) consumption taxes and income deduction taxes leave the poor paying more per capita than the rich. So no, try again.

 

Tell that to the MAGA crowded then...

 

Income redistributin is leftwing politics not economics

 

Not everyone who makes less than you is lazy.

Your tax dollars go to the rich, not the poor.

 

The poor are not entitled to the money that some other citizen earned

 

Reagan pioneered income redistribution. He syphoned wealth from the middle class and working poor to the richest 1%.

 

I mean if the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer is left wing sure. You'd have to so far right even Bismarck would be afraid of you for that to be left wing though.

 

I am poor and I do just fine. Other poor people should be able to do fine too.

 

Neither are the rich...

 

True

Some are physically or mentally handicapped and unable to support themselves

But far more are indeed lazy welfare bums

 

The rich are not getting money from the tax pool that they didnt earn

But if you think they are lets pass a new law forbidding all forms of unearned income redistribution for everyone rich or poor
