Re: $5.00 per gallon gas

You must mean the freeloading welfare recipients. They are the only one not paying taxes. The top 1% actually pay more than anyone else.


Believe it or Not The Richest Americans Pay Most of the Federal Bills

Our tax system poses a greater risk than Russia. Allow me to explain.


A large percentage of the country pays nothing in taxes or very little. Democrats then convince them that the reason they're not successful is because the rich aren't paying enough taxes. That eventually leads to the USA having one of the highest tax brackets in the world to do buisness.


We're heading down a very dangerous (Marxist) road.

No it is not. Not it is something you liberals have been saying for decades. Every time you want to raise taxes on the rich but end up raising taxes on everyone, killing jobs and causing inflation.

More BS that adds absolutely nothing to the discussion.


When democrats say "fair", what they mean is that business owners are gonna take a bath in order for liberals to give another handout.

Equity = fair. Fair is a subjective word. copier addict and DLP have yet to grasp that concept as to the context of the word "equity" when a democrat uses it.

Re: $5.00 per gallon gas

The only fair income tax would be a flat tax, no brackets. I might see exempting income up to the poverty line but nothing other than that. Better still would be to ditch the income tax and the 16th amendment that allows it (replace it with a balanced budget amendment like all states have) and go with a national sales tax of around 10%, exempting food only. That way everybody has skin in the game, you buy a $5 game, you get taxed, you buy a $50 million, yacht you get taxed. No, I'm not talking about a VAT, like England uses, that get stupid real quick and passed on to the end user any way, just an end user sales tax.

If you talk about talking businesses you are really talking about taxing their customers because businesses just raise costs to cover increased taxes, always have, always will, it's part of doing business.

Current unemployment is 3.5%. So you're complaining about only 3.5% of the population getting welfare, or calling people with low paying jobs freeloaders.

Biden voting counties account for 70% of the economy. If anything we should be concerned about actual freeloaders: Republicans.

No, you don't understand. You keep using the word "fair". Democrats have hijacked that word and tried to make it their own. And if anyone disagrees they are a racist and communist.

The problem comes back to taxing businesses, as I stated they don't pay the tax but merely pass it on to their customers. The balanced budget amendment, repealing the 16th and instituting a national sales tax will get around that, get around any form of income sheltering and force everyone to have some skin in the game, and force the federal government to live on a budget. The sales tax rate would have to be fixed in the same amendment that allows it and repeals the 16th to prevent it from constantly being increased, but I think most people, and therefore the states they live in would get behind that, so even if the house and senate don't want to move on the idea an Article 5 convention could get it done without them.
