Well...how much MORE taxes should the top 50% of all wage earners pay for MORE government programs? They already pay over 97% of all tax collected by the government. How much MORE do you want? How much MORE regulation to you want? There is this mindset that government needs to be in EVERY aspect of our lives and that government knows best how to fix things, run things, EVERYTHING!! So tell us...how much more of B.O.'s goverment programs do you want?
That wasnt what you posted. You posted that the government should not regulate a business. and stop spinning. You make it sound as if every individual pays 97% in taxes.
According to the IRS (for the love of Pete, you can look this up), the top 50% of all wage earners already pay over 97% of all taxes collected. The bottom 50% of all wage earners already pay less than 3% of all taxes collected. The top 50% of all U.S. tax payers are typically those that work harder, longer, and strive for the American dream. After all, you cannot have employees without employers FIRST. Since 80% of all Americans are employed by small businesses, it would make sense to get the government OFF of their BACKS! Look what is happening in California...they taxed and regulated that state to death and that is a major reason why companies (employers) are leaving/escaping that state! I don't know how much clearer I can make it... So again I ask you...how MUCH MORE should these people pay for to fund MORE of B.O.'s ADDITIONAL government programs? How much MORE government and regualtion do you want over the ridiculouse intervention we ALREADY have??
Come on...be a man...tell us all how much MORE government and MORE intervention and MORE of B.O.'s programs do you want? Since the top 50% of wage earners already pay over 97% of all taxes collected (Souce - IRS), tell us how you will pay for MORE government and MORE regulation? Lincoln himself said, "You cannot make the poor rich by making the rich poor." Was he "talking out of his hat" too?
