First off I would rather see a tax actually go towards a particular program than go into the general fund and get pissed away at a conference or god knows what....Taxes are collected in numerous ways and spent in even more ways.
Secondly...please take that class warfare kool-aid your are selling and drink it yourself. People with money have been paying more taxes than people without in this country for at least a century. Maybe we should go back to medieval England and just send the tax collector from village to village and take a persons last goat or bushel of grain because the King needs it.
Now this is where you regurgitate the part about 50% of Americans pay no taxes. 50% of Americans who dont wind up paying federal income taxes after their standard deductions and child tax credits don't pay federal income taxes because they are f'ing living in near poverty.
So yes a husband and wife making 26,000 dollars a year with 3 kids will pay no federal income tax after their standard 11,700 standard deduction and 3700 per kid (same deductions you get by the way) THOSE BASTARDS!
And as long as I am at it, the other day you made a point that John McCAins voters were tax paying americans and Obama's voters were from inner city tenements.
Well last I looked they are Americans too and each vote counts the same as yours....maybe we should make their 2 votes count for 1 of ours.....hell why let the F'ers vote at all?
