Could you point out where I took that position regarding corporate taxation?
The problem I have with this continual debate point is that when ‘your side of the isle’ argues individual taxation it is about percentage but ‘you guys’ argue corporate taxation it is all about the dollars. It is very common to read about the obscene profits oil companies make but in reality their profit margins are in mid-single digits and are far away from the industries with much higher rates. I understand why this is done without sensationalizing an issue it would go unnoticeable to the average citizen and both sides use the same tactic.

Do bears crap in the woods?
In dire straits people will steal. Put them in a bad enough spot and many will become violent if need be. Only a few will just lay down and die.I know the country - I've got family and kinfolk there. Hell, I live surrounded by cows. What in the world makes you think that access to a store = access to food?
You honestly think charities have enough to go around? You honestly think no one is lacking for food or shelter in America?!? It's no wonder you people have such a difficult time - you're living in Lala Land.They don't have charities in big cities? That's unfortunate.

Sorry wrong.
Richest 400 Earn More, Pay Lower Tax Rate - Forbes.com
The $80k guy pays 25% and then ads on 13% for FICA etc etc etc. Lots more than 16%. And thats a FACT.

A hell of a deal for the rich, and what do they do? Whine that seniors need to accept lower benefits so they can get an even bigger tax cut. Too bad they need seniors to vote for them to win the election. An oversight in their demonization of the working class that we see demonstrated so often.
yeah deprive them of their cell phones, color TV's, Air Jordan's with the slam dunk treads and they will riot in the streets if we also take away their twinkles, wings and things etc.
Yawn
What i find amusing about your constantly babbling is your attitude that the wealth of the nation is owned by the people collectively and that its wrong for the wealth to be used for any purpose other than to appease the masses.
your advocacy of the massed mediocrity is as hilarious as it is idiotic
Your tremendous display of touching compassion for your fellow Americans is noted.
But he never took that position at all. Why would you intentionally and purposely either outright lie or misrepresent what another poster stated?

Did I say they were stealing food? I didn't. Does it matter what they steal if some of the proceeds are used to buy food?Supply a U.S. link for that please. People will NOW kill for popular shoes, yet I have not read of food robberies. When you steal, you do NOT steal heavy, hard to carry food, you steal small valuable items to sell/pawn or go big time and get cash, cars or ransom money. It is TOO easy to get food assistance, and I have yet to read of "food need based" crime sprees/epidemics.
:lamo Anything to vilify the poor so you can buy that Mercedes for TD, Jr., with less guilt. :lamoyeah deprive them of their cell phones, color TV's, Air Jordan's with the slam dunk treads and they will riot in the streets if we also take away their twinkles, wings and things etc.

No I do not. I think if you got rid of loopholes and wound it back to Clinton era they would pay about what they should be paying. As for the rest of us, I think all of us making over $20,000 should be paying more federal taxes than we do right now. I don't want to, but even if we were to bring down war and welfare spending to pre-9/11 levels it would take awhile to balance everything back out and quit borrowing from other countries.

I find it interesting that you know claim to speak with one of the other welfare socialists on this board-that is clearly what he implied with his rants about the masses allowing the wealthy to keep what they have
hm...........
In the interests of intellectual integrity and honesty could you please reproduce my entire quote with the full sentence and context about helping the poor rather than just a snippet that has been dishonestly selected by you to create an intentionally false impression? A link to the actual post would also enable all to see what exactly was being discussed at the time. So please do provide that link.
