86% of Federal Taxes are paid by the top 25% earners

97% of Federal Taxes are paid by the top 50% earners

39% of Federal Taxes are paid by the top 1% earners

So when people say that “the rich get tax breaks” – it’s because they pay the taxes

WE DO NEED TAX BREAKS – WE PAY WAY TOO MANY TAXES – IT IS CRIMINAL

The GOV paid someone to make Jesus on the cross in a vile of piss. this was several years ago.

There is lots of waste to cut. Lets start cutting before it is to late.

The trouble is gaining the knowledge to take advantage of these programs.

I urge every reader to do so.

Just as we have a way to go to college with the help of the government, we have a way to do other things with the help of the government.

The colleges and universities just make it really, really easy to access. And our general populance is better educated because of it.

There is motive to going because of these programs.

Here is an easy to understand simily.

On the way to Disney World (in FL) there is a toll-road which takes you right to the park.

It’s legal.

A lot of people take the toll road and pay the “TAX” to drive there, on that road.

There is ALSO another road that gets you to Disney World, yet it is lesser known.

It’s legal.

A lot of people take THIS ROAD and pay nothing extra.

The difference? Knowledge.

Did you know about that ‘free’way?

It is equally legal to pay some 50% in taxes to the government. You are a good citizen by doing so.

If you exert the effort, put more people to work, give back to the community, and so forth, would a reward be a good idea to keep you doing it?

I have learned that THAT is exactly what the government is doing.

Do you want to be a wage-earner and go home at night or do you want to create enterprises in your community? Would you prefer getting the same (shaft) treatment for the extra effort?

I didn’t think so.

People generally have motivations for doing things and money is a really big motivator for doing things like bring business and revenue into the country.

What would happen if this stopped?

There would be no reason to create new and diverse enterprises – there are countries out there like that for an example – what is the motivation if we stop?

It would be a frightening prospect, me thinks.

Ponder that awhile,

Also, I am for the elimination of the income tax and raising of the sales (consumption) tax. this is what Huckabee is a fan of too.
This way, i can choose to buy that big screen TV and go ahead and pay the higher taxes to get it. But it is MY CHOICE, whereas with the income tax, they steal it from me.

Every wonder why poor folks have HD TVs?

Cutting useless programs? Only sounds good in principle. All that happens is that welfare to poor people is cut, while welfare is increased to the rich and the well-connected (through larger defense budgets, larger covert budgets, etc.)

meanwhile those selfish people on welfare are sucking up almost a whole 5% of OUR tax money. then they use it to eat food and try to find jobs.

how unjust. when will this country lean.

who is john galt?
