the people who have "huge tax breaks" are people who have full citizenship rights yet pay ZERO income taxes
and you aren't hurt by someone else only paying 300K a year in taxes rather than 400K.
you still get a far lower tax bill than you should pay because someone like me pays too much
The unemployed, the poor, and seniors need to pay more in taxes so the rich who create no US jobs can continue to receive huge tax cuts, in your dreams.
Why should the majority of the country accept more and more debt to provide tax cuts that do not benefit us???
The only way your lowered tax bill affects the majority of the country, is increasing our debt.
I just read a sign that said the following: "All I want is a roof over my head, Food on the table, and the dignity of an honest paycheck. Is that asking too much? I Am the 99%."
Well if this were true of 99% of Americans I guess it would have an impact. With such overly dramatic pronunciations and unrealistic expectations how can people take them seriously? Most of these people protesting have probably never missed a meal in their lives that wasn't their own choice. But watch as the media actually do take them seriously.
Wrong as usual
they need to pay some income taxes to give them feedback that government spending costs money
and if they did have that feedback I suspect our government would not be the massively overgrown abomination we have today.
you want the government to spend more and more and more on people like you and demand people like me face an unlimited duty to pay for it
How do you propose the unemployed, poor, and seniors pay more in taxes? No, I do not wish the government spend more and more. I have suggested time and again that cut drastically our most wasteful spending, our optional wars and bloated military spending of the last 30 years.
People can no longer justify giving tax breaks to people just because they are wealthy without creating jobs with the extra income they have due to the huge tax cuts that were provided to them.
are you saying they have zero dollars available?
If you cannot afford more taxes maybe you should demand LESS GOVERNMENT rather than demanding others pay for stuff you think you need.
The rich pay far more than they should
seniors and the poor have ZERO dollars to spare? they don't have cell phones, tv's etc?Where do the unemployed, seniors and the poor get money to pay more in taxes then they already are???
We are demanding less government. We are demanding less wars and cutting military spending back to defense only.
If you own most of the money, you are going to pay most of the taxes. We will try to remedy this problem for you.
seniors and the poor have ZERO dollars to spare? they don't have cell phones, tv's etc?
your envy of the rich is pathetic but you avoid the main issue
people who don't have to pay for more government tend to be the ones who push for more government
td, not everyone envies the rich, despite your silly proclamations. i take it you would have the elderly and poor live without phones? or even tvs? i disagree with that, and my disagreement does not make me envy you.

I see, you expect seniors, unemployed, and the poor to give up phones and tvs bought at the thrift store so the rich can buy another yacht. Dream on little turtledude.
The only envy I have is for a strong middle class that we used have when taxes were more progressive.
Exactly, if the rich had not been receiving huge tax breaks for the last 30 years they would not have pushed for such wasteful spending on optional wars and bloated military spending.

The rich pay far more than they should
based on what they use
and their share of the income
you want a system where everyone but the rich are encouraged to demand more government
Well they are using more of the countrys total available wealth than everybody else.
All the money is issued by the govt, remember.
Hell, as fiat currency, it only EXISTS because the govt says it does.
Money is created by govts to carry energy through the economy.
Portable stored negative entropy.
When the money over-concentrates, it stops serving this purpose for the economy as a whole and only serves its owners.
When it sits in one place doing nothing, as with the two trillion dollars sidelined by business, the economy as a whole suffers.
More dishonesty
the vast vast majority of those deemed rich cannot afford yachts.
secondly you completely ignore the problems that come from a huge number of people who don't pay income taxes yet clamor for higher rates on those who do.
Your crap about the military is rather telling--you completely ignore the fact that it is entitlements and handouts that are costing us the most

What exactly do you find unrealistic about expectations for a roof over peoples heads, food on the table, and the dignity of an honest paycheck?
This about . 001 % not 99% and they are goof and have no clue about what drives the economy or creates jobs.
The are headed into a situation they will never win.
Most of them can't even articulate why they are there or what they want.
They are products of Obama's class Warfare messages.
This will end in disaster and they will cause it because they are stupid spoiled idiots, who need to get a job sit down and shut the hell up.
The idea that this condition affects 99% of the population.

I actually support highly progressive taxation to discourage over accumulation of wealth.
I think after a point, taxes should render acquiring more money a waste of effort. Leaving fruit on the tree for the next guy.
I think ten millionaires are better for the economy than one guy with ten million. I think a thousand millionaires is WAY better for the economy than one billionaire.
But thats just me. Hell, I think ypu should be able to own your home and one commercial/income property, and after that property taxes go up steeply to return homes to being residences instead of assets.

You pretend the wealth is something owned collectively and If i "take" more wealth I take from you and others
and one of the main reasons why corporations and individuals are storing wealth is because the idiot in the white house has no clear clue on how to run things. smart people are guarding against massive tax hikes and other schemes that asswipe may spring on us
