First off the opening post by 12 clicks was very good. Very creative and intelligent. What your forgetting is tickle down economics doesnt work. Secondly you all believe the poor pay nothing. We went to go visit my wifes younger sister, the kid is 18 single works at burger king. I offered to do her taxes for her instead of her getting charged $50 for someone to do a short form 1040ez. THe kid made $13,000 dollars last year paid in $1500 in Taxes and was getting about $500 dollars back. THat is not zero taxes and when you consider how little the kid makes thats alot of taxes to pay plus the ss they take out. Also she has no deductions, no kids nothing to write off. I think anyone who makes under 20k shouldnt be taxed at all to tell the truth. I do well for myself and I am going to have to pay but I do have a accountant who protects me. Anyone who thinks we are going pay less taxes is a fool . Look now a Republician President who was supposed to be for smaller government has been on a spending spree with our money. Politicians like spending our hard earned money and as long as that is be prepared to pay taxes. The people who make the statement the poor just have to pick them selves up and do it. Reminds me of a friend of mine who graduated college has a good job, does well for himself. He makes those same naive statements, he forgets how he lived under his parents roof when going to school. They also paid for his college. So when he speaks I laugh. Also some people have not been blessed with the tools god gave us that we take for granted. Being able to learn quickly or speak well are gifts not everyone has. I think people forget that and instead of thanking God everynight, they criticize and judge others who havent been as blessed .
